| The upfront cost was overt emotion, which Oldenberg and James Rosenquist smuggled into their work, first through the inertial misshapenness that Barbara Rose called Oldenberg's "elephantine sadness," and second in the uncanny, monumental, and sometimes apocalyptic overload that Rosenquist brought to paintings like F-111, 1964-65. Superbly organized, cogently and powerfully argued, written gracefully and with conviction, Duval's revolutionary Design tramples roundly in the dust any lingering notions of structural disorder, misshapenness, and improvisation ("un livre improvise sans plan bien ferme" [Saulnier]), lack of intensity and interest (a "rather dull novel" [Screech]), and other criticisms frequently ascribed to Rabelais's first book. Thinking of his work as mixed visually along musical lines, rather than built in a traditionally sculptural way, helps explain its strange, carefully imbalanced combination of high-minded abstraction, furniture-derived imagery, druggy misshapenness, and school-yard sincerity. |
