Sculpture is a heavy medium for humor. An exhibition by Detroit-born Stuart Benson at the Ferargil Galleries attracted attention last week because of a group of carved caricatures. Two were excellent, those of Adolf Hitler and of long-haired Gilbert White, the U. S.-born professional Montparnasse Bohemian (TIME, April 2). The rest of the 23 figures in the Benson show-garden figures, portrait heads, busts-were carefully wrought, eminently worthy. Like so many of his compatriots Sculptor Benson was a longtime resident of France. Left high by the receding dollar, he avoided Paris, ran a studio...
...Author. A Viennese Jew, Franz Werfel was born a Bohemian in Prague, studied philosophy in Germany, and was teaching in the University of Leipzig when the War called him to the Russian front. Settled in Vienna after the Armistice, he has lived there quietly ever since, proclaiming in poems, essays, plays and novels his tragic philosophy: the brotherhood of man. Great frequenter of cafés, he is fond of lapsing into Oriental calm, seeking inspiration while in that state. Beethoven-locked, corpulent, 44, Author Werfel is known in Austria primarily as a poet. Some of his U. S.-translated...
...Polish father and a Bohemian mother, Stan Kostka followed Coach Clarence W. ("Doc") Spears when he left Minnesota to go to Oregon, played there two years, wanted to follow Spears to Wisconsin but a Big Ten ruling would have prevented his playing football there. As it is, when he steps out on the field against Wisconsin this Saturday it will be the end of his meteoric, first and only season with the Gophers. By another Big Ten ruling he will not be eligible to play in 1935. He will probably join some professional team, as did his hero, Minnesota...
Refusing to be catalogued and classified as "a nice lot and bright," "meek," "Bohemian," "hearty and robust," and "swanky," the college girls retort with epithets and descriptions frank enough to disturb the most indifferent men. How disillusioned and perplexed must be the Freshmen who discovers a stupid Radcliffe lass or a Bohemian Wellesleyian. What tragedy and grief to find the Guide had erred. His weighty problem still unsolved where can he turn for guidance and initiation? The dank silence of his lonely room give forth no answer and his brooding only lessens his faith in humankind. Most miserable...
Aware that there existed no better publicity than such atrabilious statements and sincerely, gloriously angry, Manhattan's two great Bohemian art societies opened simultaneous rival shows last week. The Independents were organized in 1917 by John Sloan, one of the best of U. S. etchers, to emulate the no-jury shows which in art-conscious Paris used sometimes to approach the pinnacle of Paris success-a street riot. The Salons of America, an offshoot, was started four years later by disgruntled Independents. As anyone might have predicted, the fight this year centered upon the now hoary squabble between Rivera...
