Muralist Santiago Martínez Delgado has an artist's feeling for form and color, an expert's taste for whiskey. Last week, the two concerns were closely connected. In a salón of the National Capitol in Bogotá, Martínez was busily slapping strong blues and rich reds on a 30-ft. expanse of wall (see cut). His mural will depict the inauguration of Liberators Simón Bolívar and Francisco de Paula Santander at Rosário de Cúcuta in 1821. If he finished on time there would...
...painters designed scenery for the Nativity dramas, and afterwards labored in their silent studios to preserve the immediacy of the plays in paint.

For such artists as Luini, the birth of Christ was not merely a historical event to be celebrated in its proper season, but .an ever-present reality-as immediate as the birth of one's own son-and so he saw nothing strange in taking it from its temporal context and creating a contemporary Italian Bethlehem.

He took his revenge on his schoolmasters and schoolmates by drawing cruelly accurate caricatures of them in his schoolbooks. As a young dandy in Paris, he was happiest hobnobbing with Left Bank artists, Bohemians "and fellows of that sort." And these friends could often find him laboriously copying paintings in the Louvre in the hopes of becoming, like them, an artist...
