...Artist Marin's total disbelief in copying nature, on the ground that anyone would rather have a real ear of corn than a painted one, led him ten years ago to a kind of shorthand in which a triangle represented a sail, a jigging line the sea. In his recent work, extremes of this kind have given place to more effective economies: strokes of color and ragged whites which sometimes fail but more often succeed in bringing to life the "fighting" forces of wind, weight, water and light which he feels in landscape. Marin works over each picture with...
When Nagesh Terimbakrao Yawalkar was 18 he left his father's house in Suvasara, State of Gwalior, India and journeyed to Bombay to be an artist. At the end of two months he was sleeping in Bombay parks. Then a calendar company commissioned him to paint a goddess. After two more months of painting goddesses, young Yawalkar tired of city life and lit out for home. There he remained until about a year ago, when the young, rich, plump, art-loving Maharaja of Gwalior invited him to show his paintings at the palace, Upshot of that was that Artist...
Slim, dark Artist Yawalkar, 23, belongs to neither of the schools into which Indian art is mainly divided: Oriental tradition and imitative academicism. His greatest admiration is for van Gogh.

Into many of the paintings shown last week at Manhattan's Delphic Studios he had mixed so much diluted Western impressionism that nothing Indian was left but subject matter. Others seemed purely Oriental. But occasionally it seemed as if Artist Yawalkar might yet use Western art as well as Gauguin...
Born in Manhattan, Artist Evergood had his schooling at Cambridge University and London's famous Slade School. He is a hulking man of 36 with wide, intolerant brown eyes, childish brown hair and a hint of mustache. A strong draftsman with a rough sense of pictorial humor, Artist Evergood has been getting stronger and rougher right along. Last year his Art on the Beach caused fist fights in Australia where it was shown in an Evergood exhibition. Later it was purchased by Melbourne's National Gallery...
...Artist Evergood's sensations are never any prettier than what he observes, and what he observes in Manhattan is apparently seldom pretty. When he draws a nude model he shows that her feet are dirty and her face is a lamentable part of her body. When he paints down-&-outers in a hobo "jungle" he distorts them to get an effect equivalent to the ugliness he feels. In last week's show of 22 paintings were several in Evergood's vein of wild, clownish humor. Sunday in Astoria and Recreation, big canvasses composed in bright, crude colors...
