...hulking, baldish, good-natured young man with the nose and neck of a Roman Senator, Artist Brook is no stranger to the galleries. For more than a decade he has been giving shows, winning medals, selling pictures to museums. In 1931 the Whitney Museum gave him its official accolade by publishing a monograph on his work. In Philadelphia last week the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts was pleased to hang some of his canvases in its 129th annual show. In the Manhattan show were 22 more Brook landscapes, figures, portraits...
Highlight of the exhibition was a cool grey-green canvas, square at the end of the gallery, called Summer Wind. Many critics hailed it as the most effective nude of the season, not excluding Eugene Speicher's magnificently painted figures at the Rehn Galleries (TIME, Jan. 22).

Died. Harrison Fisher. 56, magazine cover artist; after long illness; in a Manhattan hospital. Brooklyn-born, he joined the San Francisco Call, retouched photographs, made lifelike portraits of corpses in the morgue. By 1910 he had started the "Harrison Fisher Girl'' on her long and decorous magazine-cover career. He never married, said he saw too much of women in his work...
...metaphysical theme upon which this novel is based demands an artist of great ability for its successful presentation. While Mr. Gregory's book is an interesting attempt and a sympathetic effort toward clarity, it falls far short of triumph. It is the love story of a vaudeville team, man and wife. The man, Carl Hathaway, dies, promising his wife he will be with her still, in spirit, even after death. It is the remembrance of this promise and the ability of telepathy which they shared, which create a difficult crisis for Valerie Hathaway when she falls in love with...
