Maeda Masao 1940
Gottfried Benn, 1934: The Dorians work in stone, it remains unpainted. Their figures are naked. Doric, that is skin, but skin moving over muscles, masculine flesh, the body. The body, tanned by the sun, oil, dust, the strigil and cold baths, used to fresh air, mature, beautifully toned. Every muscle, the knee-cap, the positioning of joints, dealt with, assimilated, integrated, the whole warlike, yet very choice.
