...Mines. When he is off the air, Liebman takes his pleasures seriously. With his wife, ex-Operatic Soprano Sonia Veskova ("She was a pupil of Tetraz-zini"), Liebman lives in a six-room Park Avenue apartment with an extensive collection of impressionist and primitive paintings (his favorite artists: Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, Ilonka Karasz) and shelves of Dresden china, porcelain figurines and antique service plates. His personal chef "may possibly be the greatest chef in the whole world." Even when the Liebmans dine alone, service is formal: "We always have wine and finger bowls...
...market for modern art is booming as never before. Some startling particulars of the boom were ticked off this week by Collector-Critic James Thrall Soby, writing in the Saturday Review: "If the prices for Matisse, Picasso, Rouault and Bonnard have tripled or quadrupled since the war, those of some of their less overwhelming colleagues have soared in far greater proportion ...

'Oh, it may have a few reproduction flaws,' he said, 'but this cheap little music-for-the-masses disk contains a flamboyant Scheherazade worthy of your steel.' " The connoisseur was so unsettled that he discussed the lowbrow disk at length, thus shattering his reputation...
Couturier himself supervised the adorning of the Assy church, which also boasts works by Braque, Léger, Chagall and Bonnard, and he inspired Matisse to design, singlehanded, a chapel at Vence. Frank Lloyd Wright, among others, has produced radically new churches in the U.S., and André Girard's stained glass for a chapel at Palo Alto, Calif. (TIME, Jan. 25) is rich in ideas. The Vatican has been called, with good reason, a citadel of conservatism in art, yet it has commissioned a rugged individualist named Giacomo Manzu to design a new door for St. Peter...
