San Francisco Chronicle - Dec 30 3:59 AM Fallen monuments have an immediacy that standing ones seldom achieve. The American spinners of the Iraq invasion knew this when they made a media event of GIs toppling a big bronze Saddam Hussein in Baghdad's al-Firdos Square. So did photojournalists...

Imitating the Primitive
The New York Sun - Jan 03 11:10 PM Whatever you do with "primitive" art will get you in trouble, and putting the word in quotes won't help. Value a totem pole, mask, or "fetish" (there we go again with the quote marks) as an essay in pure form and you will be accused of cultural imperialism. Provide anthropological context, however, and you are just as likely to incite ire for applying different standards to non-Western and ...

Guardian Unlimited - Jan 05 3:57 PM A great deal of art, especially film and video, hovers on the edge of story- telling, whether in terms of atmosphere, setting or presentation of a psychological state. The operatic American artist Matthew Barney even describes his art as a kind of "narrative sculpture", whatever that might mean.

Larry Zox (May 31, 1937 - December 16, 2006) was an American painter who is classified as an Abstract expressionist, Color field painter and a Lyrical Abstractionist, although he did not readily use those categories for his work.
History
Lawrence Zox was born in Des Moines, Iowa, but moved to New York at an early age. He lived an artist's life, running in the circles of many prominent names in the art world. In recent years he had relocated to his second home in Colchester, Connecticut. Zox was considered an abstract artist, but more often he described himself as a colorist.
Zox received his education at Oklahoma University and Drake University. He studied with George Grosz at the Des Moines Art Center. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and received grants from the National Council of the Arts and the Ester and Adolph Gottlieb Foundation. He was Artist-in Residence at the University of North Carolina (at Greensboro), Dartmouth College, and Yale University.
His work has been exhibited in many one-person and group shows including the Whitney Museum of American Art(New York); the Museum of Modern Art (NY); Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, New York); Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (NY).
Zox’s work is represented in the following public collections: Dallas Museum of Fine Arts; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY); Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (NY); and the Whitney Museum of American Art (NY).
He died aged 69 from cancer and was survived by two children; his second wife, Virginia ("Sha") King Zox; a sister (Susan); a brother (Alan); a stepson, two step-grandchildren and many cousins.
