...work done!" he muses. When he and his wife visited a student in the Quad last year, he found Cabot Hall "excruciating." He was amazed to greet an undergraduate in her slip and watch her stroll into a bathroom occupied by several men. "It was like seeing a woman walk into a men's room in a restaurant," he said; "I can't get used...
...most widely known drawing in the Bergen collection, captures the process by which the artist evolved what he called "hieroglyphs" out of a chaos of line. The dark hats that emerge become, like printed words, a representation of "men in the street." Among the hatted males, a woman, defined by her dark hair, heavily shadowed eyes, and full-lipped mouth, stands alone. The outlines suggesting the passing men swirl around her, movement impressed on the air. Kirchner has drawn the people out of their motion--the image is a time exposure of both the scene depicted and the process...
...vast numbers of drawings done by Die Brucke (many of which are no longer extant) attest to the desire of these artists to make the pencil a sixth sense, an uncerebrated recording of their response to what they saw. Heckel's Reclining Woman (1913) exemplifies the spontaneous quality sought after; the carpenter's pencil defines the woman's body in uncompromising, strong lines, and shades the form into three-dimensionality with vibrating squiggles that are intended to be read as trails of the artist's pencil...
...capture the stripped essence of reality, the elemental alone, is the goal of these works. Kirchner's Reclining Nude by the Rocks (1912) shapes in six sweeping strokes a woman lying before stones. The style reduces the forms to their common denominators and merges them into one totality. This unity of the human body with nature was one of the major themes that Kirchner sought a style to express. "Developing a calligraphic style is just as difficult as learning to walk," Kirchner wrote. A drawing such as his large Nude on a Bed (1908), one of the highlights...
Despite the protection offered a fetus by the so-called placental barrier, there is growing evidence that certain activities of a pregnant woman-smoking cigarettes, taking drugs, pursuing extreme diets-can seriously affect its wellbeing. Last week the Federal Government singled out a special danger. Citing evidence that "fetal alcohol syndrome" may be more widespread than had been supposed, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism warned pregnant women that consuming more than three ounces of pure alcohol-or perhaps as little as one ounce (two drinks)-a day could increase the risk of their giving birth...
