Appropriately housed in the bright Bignou Gallery high over the Rolls-Royce showroom on Manhattan's 57th Street, there opened last week the world's first public exhibition of the first tapestries ever woven from cartoons of famed modern artists. Agog at the novelty of seeing in fine-textured silk and wool original examples of what France's onetime Premier Edouard Herriot called in his catalog introduction "the whimsical fantasy of a Dufy, the 'color researches' of a Matisse, the free inspiration of a Picasso, the often satirical gravity of a Rouault," ecstatic esthetes gurgled...

Just imported to the U. S., it was for sale for more than...
...friend of famed Grant Wood, Artist Cone showed that eminent Iowan's stylistic influence. River Bend was a sweep of stream and a bent road over a round hill nibbled at the bottom by a quarry, all huddled under a low sky of close-flapping clouds. On Manhattan's 57th Street it would have delighted dilettantes. But Iowa "Conservatives" sent up a howl because the river was grey and did not look enough like water. Judge Tellander also gave a prize to a Country Gas Station by Harry D. Jones of Des Moines, which showed pumps leaning crazily...
