...festering misery and hatred of the Polish people for what they have suffered under Communism broke dramatically into the light of day last week. Twelve young men, brought to trial for their part in the revolt of factory workers at Poznan (TIME, July 9, et seq.)poured forth a torrent of testimony against the secret police and the Communist system. From court, and prosecution as well, came verification that some of the testimony-of police brutality, of enforced hunger, of officially induced lying-was indeed true. Paradoxically, the evidence was made possible by the Polish Communist Party itself. With...
Abroad, the parade back to lithography was started by Picasso himself, who in 1945 became fascinated with the out-of-mode art form, was soon joined by a host of modern masters-Georges Braque, Fernand Leger, Joan Miro et al. In the U.S. lithography, which was revived as an art form under the WPA, also began its boom soon after World War II.

...cynic any more? What do you do?" Increasingly this has been the question asked by knife-faced Jack Levine, 41, Boston slum-born painter whose big reputation is based on such satire-veined canvases as Welcome Home, Gangster Funeral, Election Night (TIME, May 20, 1946 et seq.). His answer, Medicine Show, more than a year in the painting, is on display this week at Manhattan's Alan Gallery. It is more the work of a reformer than that of a cynic, attacking the world of ballyhoo which promotes "something people don't want but buy on installments...
