Pierre Roy has always been a painter, has given many a nourishing meal to the founders of Cubism. Though Derain, Picasso, Giorgio (horses) de Chirico are still his good friends, he has been influenced by none of them. Slowly, painstakingly, he has developed his own style. He takes about six months to finish a picture. The 42 canvases exhibited last week represent most of his life's work-28 of them already belong to various collectors...
Apart from First Prizeman Picasso, the jury could not be accused of playing Names in their awards. Exhibiting at Pittsburgh are such newsworthy names as Georges Braque, André Derain, Marie Laurencin, Kees Van Dongen, Rockwell Kent, Eugene Speicher, Horse-Painter A. J. Munnings, Dame Laura Knight, Dod Proctor, Art Theorist Roger Elliot Fry. Yet second prize went to one Alexander Brook of New York, third prize ($500) to Charles Dufresne of Paris. Since Picasso's portrait of his wife is not for sale, Artist Brook's still-life of a cat, three peaches, a begonia...

Grizzle-chinned Henri Matisse was present in person to confer a Parisian benediction. Owner and patron of the gallery was beauteous Marie Norton Whitney Harriman, onetime daughter-in-law of Sculptress Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, present wife of Banker-Sportsman William Averell Harriman. The Marie Harriman...
...frequently complained that the Metropolitan owns only one Cezanne and has recently kept it out of sight; naturally this can bring no great woe to Critic Cortissoz. Nor must he feel sad because the Metropolitan owns no paintings at all by Derain, Matisse, Picasso or Marie Laurencin. On the other hand, idling along its corridors, he may visit many collections greatly to his liking. There is an extensive U. S. group. The Italian collection is noteworthy, including a Tiepolo ceiling and a roomful of Primitives among which is an Aretino and a Segna di Bonaventura. There may also be seen...
