...choice of plays to be produced will be left up to the students, Chapman said. He said he would insist, however, that they be representative of the genres under study during the semester: the theatre of the absurd, modern expressionist drama, and Oriental theatre...
Sculptor Jason Seley said that the market was flooded with fakes: "Some sculptures are simply taken off a Victorian lamp base." But he was one of the few to stick to the subject of forgery. Abstract Expressionist Adolph Gottlieb blasted at the public, in general and dealers in particular, saying, "Society doesn't seem to be interested in protecting the artist." Painter Theodoros Stamos lambasted dealers who "hold a picture for two years before they send it back, so you forget what the hell it looks like." Then added, "I don't give a damn about the public...
Morton D. May is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector of expressionist, impressionist, abstract and primitive art. He is also president and chief executive of the St. Louis-based May Co., the third largest U.S. retail chain (64 stores).

At times he has a single eye that seems to see too much, at other times even...
...idea was not original. Such Renaissance painters as Veronese and Tintoretto are believed to have had a hand in the designs of fragile cristallo. But it was a stimulating new notion to today's artists. Austrian Expressionist Kokoschka responded first. Three years later Costantini produced his gay Bacchantes. Then Jean Cocteau got interested, traveled to Venice, christened the project "Forge of the Angels," and supplied drawings. Finally, even Picasso capitulated. To Costantini's enormous relief, language proved no barrier. "Speak Italian," ordered Pablo when the Venetian at last got his foot in the door. "Your French is impossible...
