One of these photos—a scruffy dog isolated in the center of theframe—appeared in passing on a web page and immediately snagged my eye.There was no attribution provided but I thought, that’s got to be Soth.And it was. Why was this goofy, tragic dog as good as a signature? Fora young guy, Soth seems to have an old guy’s emotional chops—and notjust any old guy. If you want to see Lear as a dog, or Cordelia as aghetto kid, then go see this show. You’ll be so happy you’ll cry youreyes out and go home confused—the best possible outcome for an artshow.
