...included only one Catholic: Jesuit Father John LaFarge, who acted as chairman. Few of the artists chosen were Catholics, either. Among them were such big names as Ivan Mestrovic-whose stilted but forceful Madonna and Child was perhaps the best sculpture in the show-and a number of accomplished craftsmen like Oronzio Maldarelli (TIME, Nov. 15).
