The works, which combined painted and minimally carved wooden figures with found objects like shoes and doors, were funny but\u00a0incisive, simple-looking but expertly made. They helped launch a career that\u00a0included great artistic success and stardom, followed by decades of\u00a0obscurity and,\u00a0more recently, a revival and renewed appreciation\u00a0of her exceptional work.\u201d (Marisol <a href=\"http:\/\/store.theparisreview.org\/products\/marisol-escobar-untitled?variant=54575972\">designed a print<\/a> for <em>The Paris Review<\/em> in 1965.)<\/li>\n<li>While we\u2019re on sculptors: Liene Bosqu\u00ea works in souvenirs. As Sarah Gerard recalls, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hazlitt.net\/feature\/between-city-and-your-body-interview-liene-bosque\" target=\"_blank\">I first saw her work in the MoMA PS1 show \u2018Greater New York,\u2019 where she was showing a piece called <em>Recollection,<\/em>\u00a0comprising dozens of hand-sized souvenirs from her travels, laid out on a plain, wooden table in a grid pattern resembling Manhattan\u2019s<\/a>. Though the souvenirs are found objects, she also uses them to make molds for other small sculptures in clay or plastic. With a background in architecture and an interest in history\u2019s relationship to memory, Bosqu\u00ea gives equal consideration to mathematical precision and sensory stimulation in her pieces\u2014she has a rule that all of the souvenirs she uses in her work must be hand-sized, small enough to carry in her pocket as she picked them up on her travels over fifteen years. \u2018Something that\u2019s close to you,\u2019 she explains.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Hold the phone, everybody. Paul Simon\u2019s dancing again. He\u2019s dancing and using cuss words. He\u2019s limbering up. \u201cIn June,\u201d Kelefa Sanneh writes, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2016\/05\/09\/paul-simons-hot-streak\" target=\"_blank\">Simon will release his thirteenth solo album, <em>Stranger to Stranger<\/em>, which is friskier and funnier than its recent predecessors\u2014his most danceable music in decades<\/a>. He meets his old nemesis near the end, in a song called \u201cCool Papa Bell,\u201d named for the great Negro League center fielder. \u2018Motherfucker,\u2019 Simon mutters \u2026 Simon doesn\u2019t apologize for his conviction that music should be easy on the ears. He has shown little interest in the grit and grunge that often signal rock-and-roll authenticity, and even now, at seventy-four, he sings in a voice that is boyish and clear. More than any other musician of his age and stature \u2026 he seems unburdened by the years, and by his own reputation. He has managed to become neither a wizened oracle nor an oldies act, and his best songs convey the appealing sensation of listening to a guy who is still trying to figure out what he\u2019s doing \u2026 Not long after Simon\u2019s fiftieth birthday, on an episode of MTV\u2019s <em>Beavis and Butt-head<\/em>, Beavis referred to him as \u2018that dude from Africa that used to be in the Beatles.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>You know that old saying, \u201cIt\u2019s always the inveterate masturbators who try to censor the mail\u201d? Well, that\u2019s true. It\u2019s true now, and it was true in the 1870s, when Anthony Comstock, an intrepid dry-goods salesman whose diaries reveal that he liked to jerk off a lot, began his crusade to suppress erotic materials through the postal service. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/lithub.com\/the-life-and-times-of-a-true-american-moral-hysteric\/\" target=\"_blank\">As Comstock told it, a fellow employee at the dry-goods store became afflicted with a sexually transmitted disease after developing an interest in erotic literature<\/a>. Comstock went to the bookstore where his friend made his purchases, bought some illicit reading material, and returned with a police captain who arrested the dealer \u2026 In February 1873, Comstock asked [Morris] Jesup to send him to Washington to plead for a more stringent federal postal law. Jesup bought him a ticket and Comstock boarded the train with an assortment of offensive items from his trove \u2026 Republican leaders gave Comstock an enthusiastic welcome. [Schuyler] Colfax allowed Comstock to set up an exhibit of his unspeakable wares in his Senate office.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In closing, let us meditate, as we are wont to do, on the role of hedgehogs in Slavic folktales: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/tinydonkey.fairytalereview.com\/2016\/04\/hedgehogs-the-keepers-of-order-and-knowledge-in-slavic-fairy-tales\/\" target=\"_blank\">These adorable animals are predominantly found in Russian movies and fairy stories but they appear, also, in tales from neighboring countries. The Bulgarians have two particularly interesting accounts of the hedgehog, both of which point to his wisdom<\/a>. In one tale, he advises God on how to use the sky to cover the earth, while in another he is the only animal not to attend the wedding of the Sun and the Moon. When asked for the reason, he says that he\u2019s busy learning to eat rocks, for if the union takes place and the Sun has lots of little sun children, all the plants in the world will dry up \u2026 In the Soviet animated film <em>Ezhik v tumane<\/em> (<em>Hedgehog in the Fog<\/em>, 1975), Hedgehog is the bridge between the conscious and the dream world, evoking sympathy from the audience as they watch him lost in a thick mist, chasing after the mirage of a white horse in the clouds.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marisol, the mononymic pop-art sculptor
