...clear that Orozco's fame rests on more than subject matter. Though Orozco turned his back on the tradition of Paris, calling it a city "old, ruined, miserable-an immense brothel, a moldering cadaver," he shows by his extraordinary draftsmanship that he owed as much to his spiritual pilgrimage to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and El Greco's Toledo as he did to the allegiance of his Indian blood. The sketch (17½ in. by 22 in.) for one of the figures in Orozco's mural in the rotunda of the University at Guadalajara is more...
...declare that his first one-man show had put "the whole new wave of figurative painting in this country in perspective." This left up in the air the question of how much of Kitaj's charm lies in his witty verbal byplay, how much in his agile draftsmanship and startling colorism. Last week Kitaj was back in the U.S. for the first time in nine years, presiding over his first New York show, 72 works covering eight years, at Manhattan's Marlborough-Gerson Gallery. If buyers did not understand all his allusions, they certainly liked his work...
...month search for a worthy successor to Cartoonist Paul Conrad, who left Denver for a better-paying job on the Los Angeles Times (TIME, Jan. 31).

His draftsmanship bears comparison to Conrad's, and he has the same flair for tapping the comic vein. To make sure that the Post got his point, Oliphant, who had read of Conrad's resignation in TIME, wasted no time bidding for the job, sending along samples of his work from...
BROOKLYN-Eastern Parkway. Watercolor was the first medium that Joseph Mal-lord William Turner attempted and he continued in it long after he became England's great romantic painter. This major exhibition of his watercolors, lent by the British Museum, embraces his genius from the disciplined draftsmanship of his student days (the earliest was drawn at 14) to later seascapes so impressionistic in color and spare of design as to border on the abstract. Through...
...Kincaid draws the strip between trips to the washing machine and feeding her three children. Editors fault her draftsmanship but marvel at the apparent hunger for a comic strip that totally shuns English. In Toledo, where grade school French is mandatory, the Blade bought the strip after it discovered that 16,321 third-to sixth-graders were toiling at the tongue. A Toledo school official says that "most of our teachers are using the strip in one way or another." Cartoonist Kincaid now hopes to launch a strip in Spanish, based on The Barber of Seville. She draws...
