...receded into the new artist competitors loomed. The most threatening: Eugène Delacroix. Ingres was now the champion of classicism, though it was his own brand. Delacroix and his followers were romantics who worshiped not Raphael but Rubens. While Ingres exalted line and form and insisted that the brush stroke should never be visible, the new painters reveled in color and pigment. "Yes. to be sure," grumped Ingres, "Rubens was a great painter, but he is that great painter who has ruined every thing." He flatly refused to let his students even look at the Rubenses in the Louvre...
Without a Brush. He almost never uses a brush. He dribbles paint onto a loose, unstretched canvas, swooshes it around, sometimes "kneads and hauls on the canvas as if it were sail." The triumph is that, even when dry, his canvases manage to look fluid. The colors float into view as if they had been poured like cream into iced coffee and for a moment were suspended. They merge or resist one another, but they are never smeared. To some of Jenkins' abstractionist colleagues they seem a bit too slick, but no one denies their flowing grace...
Shooting Particles. Though his constructions often resemble something in nature-a huge sun, a giant dandelion, a weeping willow-Bertoia does not work directly from nature.

For more solid forms he may press the paper with his fingers, or use a piece of metal to print a sharp edge. When the design pleases him, he tries to reproduce it in metal, twisting and bending bunches of rods this way and that. As he wrestles with...

Some couch their feelings in legal terms. Some do not bother.15H. STUART HUGHES...
What really upsets the U.N. is that many of these senior technicians ignore, others brush aside, Dayal's own U.N. specialists who want to take a hand in city or provincial administration. In the wake of last week's U.N. resolution banning "political advisers" from the Congo, some of Dayal's planners apparently hoped to stretch this definition to include the technicians too - although it was obvious that the U.N.'s small band of 200 technicians could never take over all the Belgians' jobs. At the very time the U.N. talks of kicking them...
