AMERICA'S annual tourist pilgrimage to Europe swings into high gear this week, and it will be bigger than ever-by far. One reason: a brush-fire price war has broken out among the airlines. They have cut the price of flights for "youngsters" aged twelve to 26 -and for "students" as old as 29-by more than 50% below the normal summertime economy fare. Under some circumstances it will now cost only $16 more to fly from the West Coast to Europe than to New York City. The price war is also bringing fares down to the level...
...seen a Warhol can enter a supermarket without the hallucinatory and even monstrous feeling that life is imitating art and that the principle of repetition and meaningless abundance on which Warhol's work is based has created its own landscape, as surely as Cezanne's brush "created" the expectations with which one might drive to Mont Sainte-Victoire.

Manuscript illumination was the most private of all arts, tiny in scale, introverted and forbiddingly difficult to do, a matter of brush strokes one-fiftieth of an inch long and burnished dots of gold no bigger than a flake of cigarette ash. Unlike the grand-scale media of stained glass and fresco -which Michelino also worked in, though little he made has survived-an illuminated manuscript was frequently aimed at an audience...
...house. In his artistic development, Darling went through a fairly long Cezanne period and had an affair with early Grandma Moses. In his short Renoir stage, he managed to get the soft wispy effect in his tree leaves by dabbing on latex paint with an ordinary shaving brush. When he was under the Turner influence, he found he could create raging waves by running a dry thumb across Sherwin-Williams Aqua...
