Both Norman and Buff Chandler were painted from life by Henry Koerner, who saw Buff as "a goddess hovering over the city" of Los Angeles. He posed her with a model of the new Los Angeles Music Center, used a rich blue cloth to hang in for the city's sky, and added his impressionistic view of Los Angeles at night from the window of his hotel room. When the portrait was nearly complete, Mr. Chandler took a look and found it a good likeness of Mrs. Chandler. Then, possibly thinking also of his own portrait, he told...
...present exhibition at Schuster is one of small collages (pieces of cut paper or cloth glued on a flat surface; they look like paintings) by Pat Morse. The artist, a girl who teaches in Berkeley, California, seems to be a happy exception to my own belief that women seldom make very good artists. (Women, of course, won't accept this; they say that not enough women have had the chance to become serious artists. One can answer that plenty of women cook, but the best cooks still are men. But that never seems to settle anything...
...abstract expressionism and recall Conrad Marca-Relli and Franz Kline to an extent. But they are quite individually conceived and well put together (the frame and backing were done by the artist herself). Some of them tend to be a little "soft," where she uses blue and green cloth cut into small shapes. Her paper collages are most successful; they are black and white, with a little red occasionally, and their line varies between that of torn paper and real hard-edge. Her inspiration is nature (in which she differs from many men abstractionists) and in this case...
Through a glass, darkly, two sets of women eyed each other. The ones outside wore storm coats, mufflers, woolly gloves and boots, and shivered anyway; those inside lolled in nothing but incandescent light and a couple of inches of cloth. None of the show-window mannequins had the get-up-and-go to make it to the Caribbean for Christmas, and few of the lady shoppers had the necessary funds. Still, stores across the U.S. last week were piled high with shifts to go wading in, slacks for strolling sandy beaches, blouses for leaning on foreign balustrades, and ball gowns...
Bags & Tea. In an industrial complex near Dacca, East Pakistan, some 20,-000 Adamjee workers annually produce 70 million burlap bags and 90 million square yards of cloth to be used in products as diverse as automobile seats and jute suits. Nearby, Adamjee has just opened a new factory that will ensure even greater use of Pakistan's jute crop by producing particle board out of jute stems, providing a low-cost wood substitute for lumber-poor Pakistan. He is also almost single-handedly diversifying Pakistan's industry, using jute profits to build a $2.1 million cotton mill...
