...1930s, social protest was second nature to the politically conscious artist. In the 1960s, instead of editorializing in melodramatic imagery, the artist is apt to employ the more oblique weapons of abstract parody and wit. His sentiments are no less angry on that account-as could be seen last week in Chicago. At the Feigen Gallery, 47 artists displayed acid valentines to Mayor Richard J. Daley, 21 of them composed especially for the show...
...keyed Sarnoff is a curious mixture of the modern and the conservative. The president's office in Manhattan's RCA building is adorned with abstract sculptures by Giacometti and De Rivera, and its occupant takes particular pride in the company's futuristic new logo, which is emblazoned in 24-ft.-high letters near the top of the 70-floor building.

Young, relatively unknown artists, distributed over an international spectrum, are spottily picked up by the Gallery. Among the nicest I saw were abstract Japanese prints by Hiroyaka Tajima and weird childish Colombian fanatasies by Silva...

For years, he had been making increasingly simplified sketches; as an art student in London, he had also collected Japanese prints. One day in 1949, he was visiting a friend who had a Balopticon projector; they enlarged several Kline sketches on the wall. The blown-up image wrenched the drawings...
