Over the last 20 years, some 40 of Zurbaran's paintings have come to light. His best are flat, angular studies of lean-jawed monks; even his paintings of women seem chopped out with a chisel. Depth and perspective interested him little. One of his finest, St. Serapion, is in the Wadsworth Atheneum at Hartford, Conn...
...handsome present for Ivan Mestrovic in his 70th year: the academy's Award of Merit and a $1,000 prize as an outstanding U.S. sculptor. They want him to come to Manhattan later this month and pick it up-if he can bear to put down his busy chisel for that long...
Father Anthony J. Lauck, 43, presented a statue as simple and serene as Painter Lebrun's canvas was noisy.

Today Lauck exhibits his peaceful religious statues from time to time...

In the peaty soil that now covers the crannogs, Raftery and his assistant have uncovered 17 dugout canoes beautifully hollowed from the solid trunks of great oaks. They have also found shards of undecorated pottery, axheads, a dagger, a chisel and other tools. They have dug up bronze ornaments, fragments of a Bronze Age trumpet and some well-preserved saddle querns, the primitive hand mills with which ancient man ground his grain...
