...such culture-plated advertisers is Container Corp. of America, big, enterprising maker of paperboard products. Last year, Container began a "United Nations" ad campaign, featuring paintings of their native lands by celebrated foreign artists. This week, to coincide with the San Francisco conference, the paintings-minus advertising-go on display in Chicago's Art Institute. They add up to as interesting a show of modern art (in its less extreme phases) as has been seen in the U.S. in recent years...

The display ranged all the way from swooning sensuality (Nude Reclining, an oil by Moise Kisling) to attenuated, nihilistic preciosity (Boîte-en-Valise, an "object" by Marcel Duchamp). Between these bypaths lay a two-lane highway of abstraction and surrealism. Outstanding was 44-year-old French Surrealist Yves Tanguy's Un Lieu Oblique (An Oblique Place), a meticulous composition suggesting a segment of interstellar space strewn...
