by Glenn Astarita

All About Jazz
Iris Lord has achieved a sort of cubist expression with her new spoken word opera 12 Famous Men presented last week at the Knitting factory Hollywood. Cubism, usually associated with painting, such as Picasso, is defined as “... displaying several aspects of the same object simultaneously and by fragmenting the form of the depicted objects" “ Broken up, analyzed, and reassembled in an abstracted form."
