...reinforced concrete, in 132 numbered panels weighing 110 tons, the bas-relief lay face down last week in back of Nivola's summer home at East Hampton, N.Y. Seven huge platform trucks will soon transport it to Hartford, Conn., where it will be fitted to the steel frame of Mutual Insurance Co. of Hartford's new office building. In place, the bas-relief will serve as a 110-ft.-long wall over the building's main entrance. It is an abstraction with overtones of cubism -an endless procession of angular, cloudy, faceless figures that seem to shift...
Sensing the Mystic. Religion of a far less earthbound frame was also a prime concern of Germany's Blane Reiter (Blue Rider) group centered at Munich, which strove for what Franz Marc called "sensing the underlying mystical design of the visible world." But what looked like a new dawn for European art quickly clouded with the rumors of war. Wassily Kandinsky began introducing cannons into his abstractions. Paul Klee's expressions of his subconscious began to reflect fear. Klee's Blue Rider painting companion, bean-pole-tall August Macke, painted his somber Farewell, a square filled with...
...quiet morning soon after sunup, a big polyethylene balloon took off from near Minneapolis with a weird apparatus dangling far below it. Suspended in a frame was a reflecting telescope of 12-in. aperture built by Perkin-Elmer Corp. of Norwalk, Conn.

West across lonely Nullarbor Plain, the cars slewed through mud flats and jounced across frame-cracking bogholes. Nine cars overturned in one nightmare, 557-mile stretch from Albany to Narrogin in Western Australia. Of the 90 cars from eight countries that left Melbourne, only 79 got as far as Perth, all but two losing points all the way. As in most rallies and reliability trials, cars were penalized for passing secret checkpoints too early or too late, for breaking traffic laws and for making any of a long list of repairs...
