...standard Life of James McNeill Whistler by the etcher Joseph Pennell and his wife was published in 1908, five years after Whistler's death. Since then the artist's famed picture of his mother has become such a Mother's Day ikon* that a separate study of the Woman Behind the Painting became inevitable.

The opposite was true of a remarkable collection of 20 paintings hung last week in Manhattan's East River Gallery, the first one-man show of a 28-year-old New York artist named Loren Maclver. The best of these pictures brought yelps of pleasure from critics who have long complained that much U. S. painting shows the imaginative audacity of a dish rag. One of them.
