Scientist Julian Huxley predicted a new, evolutionary kind of religion last week (TIME, Dec. 7), one man must have been in his mind-a Jesuit priest named Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Just published in the U.S. is the late Father Teilhard's major work: The Phenomenon of Man (Harper; $5), and Huxley himself supplied the introduction. "A very remarkable work by a very remarkable human being," he wrote. "His influence on the world's thinking is bound to be important . . . He has forced theologians to view their ideas in the new perspective of evolution, and scientists...
...terms of color, is a complete mystery. Once a painting functions as an entity, poetic licence is justified. But until it does the word is meaningless. This painting does not. If the term "expressionism" means something more than emotionalism, then there is more expression in a plum by Chardin. There is more expression, for that matter, in the study by George Kolbe which accompanies his excellent sculpture. The drawing is a modest, simple statement; one note on pitch is worth a whole cacophonous symphony, theory...

I'd rather go to Europe than to Heaven!"). His styles became as varied as his enthusiasms, but in his summer house in Southampton he allowed himself...
...week in Cincinnati, the exhibition ranges from an unknown German's Cabinet with Bottles and Books, dated 1470, down to such later-day works as Georges Braque's Soda and Stuart Davis' Eggbeater V; it includes works by the 17th century Dutch masters, France's Chardin and Spanish Painter Zurbaran. Far from being a drab assortment of pots and pans, dead hares and Dutch ham, the exhibit does much to prove that minor them do not preclude a major work. Says Milwaukee Art Institute Director Edward H. Dwight of their intimate yet forceful quality: "The still...
