Close (Professor of Anthropology, University of Washington) is a seminal and scholarly study of American approaches to lithic analysis--that is, attempts to learn more about natural history through the study of the stones of the earth. Another addition describes the sources of lithic materials used in tools and weapons over the past 9000 years. Here, although the austere minimalist stelae foreclose any possibility of sublimation, the changing light of day, the pedestrian's shifting point of view, and the clash between the lithic gray mass of the memorial and the foliage of the Tiergarten across the street can be unexpectedly striking: Light bounces off the bleak, sharp-edged prisms, showing up an Escher-like play of gray on gray. |
