Herr Heuss, jovial, loquacious and witty, has the nimble mind of a hard-digging student. In his 65 years he has been a professor of political science, a biographer, an art critic, a newspaper publisher and an amateur artist. He is an old-fashioned German politician, from his high white collar to his economic liberalism of the Manchester laissez-faire school...

Antimacassars & Battleships. In the center of the exhibition, a specially commissioned mural by New Yorker Cartoonist Saul Steinberg put the modern designer's dilemma into squiggly perspective. In one panel, Artist Steinberg had drawn a cross-section of a block of walk-up apartments: "modern" studios sandwiched between lead-heavy Jacobean dinettes and cluttered Victorian parlors. His stark plywood chairs were ornamented with fussy crocheted antimacassars, his baby carriages fashioned like battleships. The level-headed modern designer, set loose among America's gingerbread and fake Tudor suburbs and neo-Renaissance row houses, was in danger, according to Steinberg...

Thus in a recent issue of BBC's The Listener, testy, old (64) Artist-Author Wyndham Lewis* rings a knell for his fellow English painters. One reason for the bell's toll, says Lewis, is high taxes which sop up the spare cash of collectors who were once well-to-do.

...opening side, "Snag It," puts Ory right out in front with a long, gutteral, uncompromising trombone solo. He lacks the force of an artist like George Brunis, but his low-register slides and his beautiful background work for Bud Scott's dry vocal make a neat piece. The other side of this one, "Savoy Blues," takes off on this old standard to display all the talents in the band-trombone, clarinet, guitar, bass, piano, and trumpet solos are packed between opening and closing choruses. Joe Darensbourg's clarinet stands out among the others here...

London gallerygoers last week had only to look at 27 of Wilson's latest drawings to see that he was not a complicated intellectual howitzer but something considerably easier to take: a self-taught artist who had a fresh way of seeing things and a gift for getting them down on paper. Scottie's world was a cheerful place where everything fell into intricate designs of delicately colored ink. Strange and luxuriant plants spread across his drawings with the spontaneous elaboration of a Persian carpet; forms, half-vegetable, half-animal, grew out of each other like coral...
