Frazee's skillful draftsmanship adds much to the entertaining text, with the baby expressing a world of emotions with a simple lifted eyebrow, a tongue sticking out in concentration, or a stubby finger laid thoughtfully on a cheek. Here one might note an indebtedness to Francis Bacon's flayed subjects; there a self-conscious nod to Hans Bellmer's fetishistic dolls, or Hannah Hoch's riotous collages, or Egon Schiele's raw draftsmanship, or Cindy Sherman's constructions of malleable identities. O'Neil seems to take the second route, and along the way makes note of the painter's abilities and fine draftsmanship. |
