Wall text at the Guggenheim’s ongoing David Smith retrospective (closing May 14) features this tantalizing quote from the sculptor:
“Drawing is the most direct, closest to the true self, the most natural liberation of man - and if I may guess back to the action of very early man, it may have been the first celebration of man with his secret self - even before song” 1955Posted by mark at May 10, 2006 01:13 AM
Mark!
This latest graphite drawing is gleeful! Radical departure! It's like a father with a new child. Or a man in celebration of his secret self.
I'm glad. It does me good in the middle of the night.
peace,
Denis
