...keep pure of all such influences, and his missteps are on display at the exhibit as well. While billed as "explorations of form, color, shape and mass," his paintings and small assemblages convey little original thought. "Relief with Bones" is a particular disaster-- constructed of chicken bones, a shoebox lid, and canvas, this mess of gouache and watercolor artlessly melds the elemental primitivism of Jean DuBuffet with the cool detachment of pop artists. Although occasionally suggesting the powerful brushwork of a Kline, Smith's other paintings pale in comparison with the power of his sculpture...

Over the past...
...market economy has found that man bashing sells. Entrepreneurs have descended. Hallmark Cards' fast-selling line, Shoebox Greetings, traffics in whimsical male-dissing. Another company marketed a card that said, "Hear you're looking for a man who's your intellectual equal . . . Does the expression Fat Chance mean anything to you?" Mild enough, but still: Would the company have sold a card that said, "Hear you're looking for a black who is your intellectual equal . . . Fat Chance"? The booksellers' shelves are heavy with volumes of the Women-Who-Love-Men-Who-Hate-Women-Who-Are-Too-Good...
