The problem with many sculptures of today is that any one with a
little bit of
talent and a lot the money to have the enlargements made, do so.
It's like making a little painting and having a machine make the
enlargement ,
then calling it a mural. Some times only time reveals the truth.

One thing I've been noticing lately -- is how the recent figure

each European country -- even the small ones like Belgium and
Switzerland

Georgia-- feels different from all the others.
I've always been mildly dismayed at an aspect of this conformity. The
"rebellious" youth has so often adopted modes that differ -- in a
rejecting way --
from their parents or their societal opposites, and I've always
understood that.
But the modes are so often exactly the same as everyone else in
their gang.
I've sensed it hasn't always been merely a desire to stand by the
gang -- it
was very often simply a lack of imagination. If it's true -- what
you say
about figure sculpture in Europe -- I find that depressing.
