...first translated into English last year by Walter Pach (TIME, Nov. 1, 1937). Last week's visitors saw his superb painting of the great violinist, Paganini; studies for some of his famous murals; colorful pictures of the Moroccan subjects by which he introduced the Exotic to French art-in all, 18 works by an artist whom Frenchmen consider as important in painting as Beethoven was in music...

Working with the painful slowness of a virtuoso who hates virtuosity, living on the Federal Art Project's $22.77 a week, he has finished in five years 16 paintings which he is willing to show. Last week they were shown at Manhattan's Downtown Gallery in his first one-man exhibition...
