...into elaborate swirls; paintings and statues became studies in swoops. Today, the style known as Art Nouvemt seems about as "new" as Grandmother's antimacassar. But as Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art set out to prove last week, in the most comprehensive and ingeniously mounted U.S. exhibit on the subject to date (see color), modern scholars are no longer inclined to laugh it out of court...

...unpleasant year. Week after week the press would speak accusingly of the Louvre's "attics," its "cellars" and its "obscure prisons." In these sealed-off rooms, charged the critics, hundreds of masterpieces had lain "buried" to Frenchmen for years. Bazin protested that no museum has room enough to exhibit all its treasures, but there was no silencing the critics.
