Criticism

Sculpture M. Spivak chamber and at the same time monumental. Her things are not great in size. They have a highly personal tone, the plot is portraying - the surrounding "private" life. Sculpture for her, like poetry, "a private matter" in the words of her favorite poet. But all things are solved large, generalized, structurally logical forms that have been brought almost to the mark.
