...than the museum's usual collection, millions clearly go to galleries for the pure pleasure of seeing pictures. The attractions at Albright-Knox were a big exhibition of popularly understandable and understandably popular paintings by Andrew Wyeth (TIME, Nov. 2), which drew 247,800 visitors, and a Van Gogh collection, which pulled 95,000 more. The same Van Gogh show accounted for Boston's attendance rise, and Los Angeles County Museum remembers Van Gogh was a big puller in 1959.

His people could cry out and the sky would seem torn apart. They might wander blankly down a street, eyes sick with anxiety, together but each alone. Few artists have...
...work often suggests stale Disney sprinkled with Kitty Litter, but at one point the picture wittily displays Mewsette as she might have been painted by Monet, Van Gogh, Seurat et al. Judy Garland, as the voice of Mewsette, yowls enchantingly. And even those who think that the plot is a very old sardine may admit that it is often amewsing, in a clever script by Dorothy and Chuck Jones, to read between the felines...
