Artist Jack Whitten has opened an exhibition of new work in New York this spring at Hauser & Wirth , his first show with the gallery since joining its roster last year. Presenting pieces from the last two years of practice, Whitten 8767 s work, on view at the gallery 8767 s temporary 77nd Street location, continues his exploration of the canvas as a site for engagement with the material consistency and visual expressivity of paint in a manner that often eludes easy classification as abstraction or minimalist technique.

As you travel northward your eye, accustomed to the South or East, does not notice much difference until you are beyond Birmingham. In Coventry you might as well be in Finsbury Park, and the Bull Ring in Birmingham is not unlike Norwich Market, and between all the towns of the Midlands there stretches a villa-civilization indistinguishable from that of the South.

Tolstoy then makes a sort of exposition of the plot of KING LEAR, finding it at every step to be stupid, verbose, unnatural, unintelligible, bombastic, vulgar, tedious and full of incredible events, "wild ravings", "mirthless jokes", anachronisms, irrelevancies, obscenities, worn-out stage conventions and other faults both moral and aesthetic. LEAR is, in any case, a plagiarism of an earlier and much better play, KING LEIR, by an unknown author, which Shakespeare stole and then ruined. It is worth quoting a specimen paragraph to illustrate the manner in which Tolstoy goes to work. Act III, Scene 7 (in which Lear, Kent and the Fool are together in the storm) is summarized thus:
This March online issue features a forgotten essay by Roger Caillois, a French intellectual whose idiosyncratic work brought together literary criticism, sociology, and philosophy by focusing on diverse subjects such as games, play and the sacred. 8766 All humanity wears or has worn a mask, 8767 writes Caillois in 8766 The Mask 8767 , newly translated and illustrated by the artist Jeffrey Stuker. Drawing on the story of the Veiled Prophet of Khorassan, the early writings of Napoleon Bonaparte, and Jorge Luis Borges, Caillois highlights the family resemblance between human and insects, and argues that humankind has relinquished its claims on the mask.
