...importance of the Dramatic Club's independent status cannot be overemphasized. Too often the dogma of the classroom is able to stifle artistic progress, or the personal theories of one professor to influence those enrolled in a course. In order for there to be progress in art of any kind, men and women who are young enough to have grown up with existing social problems and whose judgment is unprejudiced must be given free reign to express their ideas...
...valued sideline of many an important European and U. S. painter, the mainstay of at least one indubitable master, Honore Daumier. In spite of having cluttered up the earth with a God's plenty of "chromos,"† it has remained a fine as well as a commercial art. At the Boston Museum of Fine Arts last week 527 of the handsomest prints that have been pulled from stone since 1799 gave visitors an eyeful of old and new scenes and artistry in the largest exhibition of lithographs yet hung...

Robert Carl Zuppke of the University of Illinois does not claim to be a great painter though critics filled their reviews of his one-man show of landscapes last spring in Chicago's Palmer House with awed quotations from his rugged views on Art ("Art and football are very much alike").

After these three books, however, came the slump. Apart from Win, er Take Nothing (1933), a volume of short stories, the eight...
...Rather Be Right" has very little to add to the former's artistic trenchaney. The new work is a highly specific representation of the present administration, with ridicule hurled at everybody in it. Jim Farley, Henry Morgenthau, and Madame Secretary Perkins are undoubtedly fit subjects for the lampooner's art, and the caricatures of them are skillfully drawn. But the President is scarcely touched when an entirely different person walks about more or less in his likeness, although the making him out as a happy-go-lucky experimenter does strike close to home. Horse-laughs evoked at the expense...
