...Unknown Named Van Gogh. Bernard's role was never fully appreciated until Art Historian John Rewald told the story last autumn in his authoritative Post-Impressionism: From Van Gogh to Gauguin. In the late 1880s Gauguin was painting in the Breton village of Pont-Aven along impressionist lines. Bernard was a precocious, rebellious, perceptive intellectual. He used to go on painting jaunts outside Paris with another unknown named Vincent van Gogh, who thought well of Bernard's work. Van Gogh urged Bernard to see Gauguin, who had once rebuffed him, and the young painter went to Pont-Aven...
...Dallas' Neiman-Marcus (which will put 15 gemmaux on display), and U.S. Designer Raymond Loewy, who says he will open a gemmaux gallery in Manhattan. Gemmaux have also gone commercial. One of the more lurid experiences in the Paris subway these days is the spectacle of Van Gogh's Bridge at Aries touting the virtues of a washing machine, and his Night Café exhorting people to drink Perrier water...
Unlike poor Vincent van Gogh, who left his unsold paintings to his family only to have more than 500 of them disappear through carelessness and neglect, Abstractionist Wassily Kandinsky was a lucky man. He left a huge legacy of his work to his former mistress, and they survived world wars, revolutions, putsches, even the fury of a woman scorned.

...cigar bands, had moved on to oils 25 years ago (after Little Caesar), when his Hollywood salary jumped from $1,000 to $7,000 a week. Among his prize canvases were Corot's L'ltalienne, Ceézanne's The Black Clock, and masterpieces by Van Gogh, Degas, Matisse, Renoir, Gauguin, and almost every other major French painter of the past half-century. When the collection became notable, Robinson opened his Hollywood home to the public. In recent years it was also exhibited around the country at some of the nation's best museums...
Lust for Life is still excellent and still at the Kenmore. Van Gogh gets exceptional color photography, and Kirk Douglas rarely gets in the way. Anastasia makes little out of a lovely thing, but Ingrid Bergman is superb. Helen Hayes and Yul Brynner wander in and out every now and then. At RKO Keith. The Great Man is dead. Long live his greatness? Jose Ferrer snoops around tensely, and says no. A tidy film. At the Beacon Hill. Baby Doll doesn't deserve all the publicity but contains three brilliant performances--by Eli Wallach, Karl Malden, and baby-blond newcomer...
