...most adventurous big-money backer modern art has ever known was the late Solomon R. Guggenheim, multi millionaire mining magnate (Alaskan copper, Chilean nitrate, Bolivian tin) who late in life switched from collecting traditional Dutch masters to avant-garde art under the tutelage of his good friend and mentor, Baroness Hilla Rebay von Ehrenwiesen, set up Manhattan's Museum of Non-Objective Painting. Two years ago his nephew, Harry F. Guggenheim, announced a biennial, round-the-world search for new paintings, established a purse of $10,000 for first prize...
...longtime painter-around-Paris, Miró has lived in his native Spain since World War II, five years ago began new experiments in ceramics in collaboration with his old friend Josep Llorens-Artigas (TIME, Jan. 7, 1957).

"You're fed up with men, so you've gone over to the animals . . . But my friend, something much bigger [than elephants] is threatened with extinction." In his crazy way, the dentist knows this too. Man, he rants, is eliminating "all that is beautiful . . . Soon there will be nothing left but us . . . Man in his loneliness has need of all the animals...
