...months after it had fallen to the Communists saved the treasures. Next week, as a gesture of "gratitude to all those known and unknown American friends who fought with us against the Communist invasion," a loan exhibition from the Republic of Korea, sent abroad for the first time (see color pages), will open in Washington's National Gallery of Art, later tour seven U.S. cities...
...Secret Color. Buddhism, imported from China, flourished in the arts, creating prototypes of figures in gold and bronze that were later imitated by Japanese craftsmen. But it was in ceramics that Korea led the Oriental world. Even Chinese connoisseurs of the Sung dynasty praised the artistry and craft of Korean potters of the Koryo dynasty (A.D. 918-1392), proclaiming: "The secret color of Koryo is first under Heaven...

One of the best, Yi In-mun (1745-1821), combined fantasy and perspective with superb brushwork and a cautious use of color that in many ways surpass his Chinese models.

The international flavor of the competition was served when England's John Piper took third prize and $750 for an impressionistic backyard-scape called Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. Honorable...
...Southerner-though his accent sounds as if it was strained through Stanislavsky's mustache. When he first meets Hana-ogi, he believes that "fraternization is a disgrace to the uniform." But he has to admit that she is "a fahn-lookin' woman," and the color line soon becomes as vague in his mind as the meridian of Greenwich. "I will love you, Gruver-san," she murmurs to him one day, "if that is what you desire." That is what he desires, all right, and after much too much Brandoperatic declamation about "what mah reason fuh livin...
