1967: "On Anthony Caro's Latest Work"

I couldn't find a copy or a facsimile of this essay, save for a reproduction in an exhibition catalog from the 2015 show "Caro: Works from the 1960s" at Gagosian Beverly Hills. Anthony Caro was an abstract sculptor who came to fame in roughly the late 1960s and early 70s. He was in the same circles as David Smith, who Krauss has written about extensively.

Krauss begins her essay with the mild antagonism of formalist critics and their preposition of the artists' work as in a (time-linear) progression. As she has done before, taking an opportunity to talk about Frank Stella rather than the artist at hand... however, once she gets to Caro, she calls his work "uncomposed," which is an odd way to consider sculpture, as, by way of construction, composition is inherent. She remarks on Greenberg's and Fried's negative evaluations of Caro's color use to express growth in his work, saying that it is "sensuous and palpable."

In addition to considering color, Krauss notes Caro's (seemingly) newer consideration of the viewer in relation to his pieces. She draws a line from the abstracted illusionism as established by cubism to Caro's latest work; depending on which angle you are viewing his work, the perspective drastically changes.

She as she closes states:

"The sensation is nearly one of fixed, geometrical space, of space made mathematically, by means of a model of two-point perspective, as the smaller rear columns and the rushing orthogonals of the grills seem to act out a dry, a priori notion of distance."

Almost in Time...

I would've posted this yesterday, but I had a doctor's appointment and those always throw a wrench into my whole day. Ugh! Anyway, for Madonna's birthday yesterday, this is from my recent visit to Madame Tussauds Hollywood. Here I am, paling in comparison to her wax visage.

Using my actual cane there. I'm starting to wonder if I need a hip replacement, too. There's a couple more pics I want to share, as well...

I hate how I look in this picture, but I was desperate for a chance to pose with Marlene Dietrich. As you all know, she is my favourite actress ever! Yes, I was singing along to the overhead speaker playing, "Falling in Love Again," in my Dietrich voice. I do a killer Dietrich impression! (What do you expect? I've been practicing it since high school!)

Bette Davis and competing bitch faces, lol. I love her, though I have a slight preference for Miriam Hopkins.

This one is from the Hollywood Museum/ Max Factor Building. This is the original set from Silence of the Lambs, reassembled in the basement! It includes original props, such as the shortened folding chair in front, so I could feel small and intimidated by Dr. Lecter, too. (Jokes on them, I always fancied him!)

And the two stars I had to see, as they're my fav bands! The Monkees:

and the Bee Gees!

That's all with me in them I have. I think my mom may have accidentally deleted a few, as I had ones with Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra and Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. And you know how much I love them!
