FAIRFIELD PORTER-Tibor de Nagy, 149 East 72nd. Porter took his training at the Art Students League from Thomas Hart Benton, felt "you don't deserve to paint abstractly until you can paint representationally." But he admits that De Kooning has been a major influence. One painting, September Clouds, points up that affinity: an abstract rendering of nature, it suggests that Porter is ready to follow a new path. Through April...
Collectivized Clothesline? Not everyone in the audience knows quite what to make of these weird Communist carryings-on. Appreciating its brilliantly abstract artfulness, nervous Aussies nonetheless wondered if the troupe might not be putting something over down under...
...Hunter, N.D. (pop. 417), and studied in New York at the Art Students League in 1923-24, but now he is enthralled by the littoral life that he has led on the Maine sea-coast since 1939.

In carving through the gnarls and knots of wood, Muir tempts nature to remake itself in another natural image born of a natural...

Munich claims to be the birthplace of modern art, and indeed its Blaue Reiter group pioneered in the abstract movement; Munich's galleries today are loaded with the works of Kandinsky and Klee. Schwabing, the city's bohemian quarter, which won its reputation thanks to Kandinsky & Co., is still an art center, with more than 2,000 painters and sculptors at work...
