With your permission, I'd like to give my opinion of the Kokoschka picture of my sister. I think it's a hideous mess. As great an artist as this man may be today, he certainly goofed in 1926. My sister is a very pretty girl...
...Toni is sensitive, day-dreamy, putty-willed. An internee, he longs to escape to Britain, but rarely makes a real move to get there.

...Yearbook editors. This seems somewhat sad, since a great deal of effort and space was spent on these sections.

One of the most successful examples of art for industry-result of the joint efforts of artist, architect and industrialist-is a vibrant, 8-ft. by 17-ft. mural unveiled this week in the lobby of H. J. Heinz Co.'s new $4,500,000 Research Center in Pittsburgh. From the start,recalls Gordon Bunshaft, design partner of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the lobby was planned for a specific kind of painting: "Brick going in on two sides, Mies van der Rohe chairs...
