...understanding, is the constant subject of sad-eyed, diminutive Raphael Soyer, who has another. His twin, Moses, and his Brother Isaac are also able painters, but in the last few years Raphael's single-minded portrayals of pathos in Manhattan's sober poor have given him the greater reputation. Last week his first one-man show since 1935, at the Valentine Gallery, brought 14th Street impressively to fashionable 57th. In Soyer's accomplished paintings of Greenwich Village characters there was neither humor nor brilliance but a great deal of dun truth...

When one looks closely at the idea of personal subordination, at this "adhesive comradeship," he sees that not for any lifetime can personality be sacrificed unselfishly for the common good. It is an ideal, elusive and momentary like the touch of spring wind. For that reason it is a greater prize than individual Immortality. Happiest of all, it can be experienced during life. But the more distant is a goal, the more chance that less will reach it. Will the Soulless Age come to disbelieve in Immortality by an inability to achieve it through Work, and thereby generate moral...
