As with Energy, So with Form – Henri Thinks Through His
Sculpture
The marble’s tone has now
begun
with rectangular
eyebrows,
with this triangular
goatee,
and with the throbbing of
the head
between the realm of
spheres
and the family of planes.
Ez’s head will be a
mountain
upon this wobbly
pedestal,
but Ez will think, "Henri
should cease
else I become an
ornament."
Ez should think again but
from the head
born from the vortex of
my hands.
Note:
Henri is Henri Gaudier-Brzeska--Modern French Vorticist Sculptor who
died in WWI at the age of 23. Ez is Ezra Pound.
