THE SNOW QUEEN
By
The Kegwin translation accompanied by highly mannered, singularly tasteless black-and-white drawings; compositions are crowded unto incomprehensibility; forms are fractured, faceted, swirled, spiraled. The ancestry is Art Nouveau, contemporary coordinates are Ivan Albright. Tehelitehew, the tapestries of Jean Lurcat uncolored. . . with figures from science fiction comics or the Walt Disney Studio.
