Ablest, most vigorous painting in the show was in the North Central States section. Best known was Sleeping by Michigan's John Carroll. The model for this picture was Georgia Finckel, 27, whom Artist Carroll married last week in Columbus, Ohio. He called his frail, slant-eyed second wife the "inspiration" as well as the model for the murals he had just finished at Detroit's Institute of Arts...
When the former Prince, now the Count of Covadonga, and his wife, a buxom Cuban girl whom he had wooed when both were patients in a Swiss sanatorium, paused in Manhattan last autumn on their way to Cuba, that frail and amiable young man was secretly suffering with an acute pain in his right rump.

Evil for Hawthorne's puritans was intense, powerful, a demon to be fought. For Santayana's characters it is distant, abstract, a moral problem to be solved like geometry.
