...with most of Ives's music, his Fourth Symphony is sprinkled with snatches of religious, patriotic and folk tunes popular at the turn of the century. But once shredded by Ives, run through a wringer of dissonance and woven into his complex fabric of rhythms, they were not easily recognized. In the first movement, for example, the doom-laden theme in the basses sounded against a background of Nearer, My God, to Thee, softly played by a chamber ensemble isolated at the rear of the orchestra. Then the violins joined in with The Sweet Bye and Bye, intertwined with...
Weaving art and architecture together in the fabric of the city is the dream of many planners. Yet Manhattan's 30-year-old Rockefeller Center has long provided the prototype for such urban tapestries. Over the years, 30 artists* have installed more than 100 commissioned works in the complex city within a city. Some of its sculptures are even now legendary, if vintage: Paul Manship's gilded Prometheus, Lee Lawrie's 45-ft.-high Atlas looming over Fifth Avenue. There is even a 1932 Stuart Davis mural in a men's room. Appropriately, it is titled...
These cases are not atypical.

The French Vogue and Elle devoted so much space to Courrèges that Coco Chanel took offense, threatened leading French fabric houses that if they bought ads in the magazines, she would "never buy another centimeter of cloth." Stormed she: "They showed Courrèges and spoke about architecture-architecture? They go on and on about art and the year 2000. Stop! Who wears...
...them was a kind of who's who. Now art lovers are saluting an artistic modernization of what medieval men rallied around: flags and banners by living artists. Galleries and museums in Manhattan are brightening the city's glass-and-steel canyons with new glories in flapping fabric. The lions rampant gules and cinquefoils vert have been replaced by opping concatenations and popping faces, as modern heraldry makes art go public in an exciting manner (see color...
