...father of a wise four-year-old son, Fearing has increased both his weight and poetry earnings. (He observes smugly of his latest photograph that it makes him look like an Italian gangster.) In 1936 and again in 1938 he was awarded a $2,000 Guggenheim fellowship...
...Solomon Guggenheim has always been interested in education. He was, for example, treasurer of the Public Schools Athletic League of New York for many years and is still a patron of the Brightside Day Nursery. These activities are pie, however, to the educational job Solomon Guggenheim undertook two years ago at the age of 76. "I desire to encourage the development of the esthetic sense of our people," said old Mr. Guggenheim, and plunked down something like $3,000,000 to endow a foundation for "nonobjective" art (TIME, July...
...Nonobjective" art is the purist's name for abstract art in which no trace of actuality remains. A cubist breakdown of the statutory cubist wine bottle and guitar would not qualify.

It was the biggest...
...Solomon Guggenheim's snappy, grey-haired, expatriate Niece Peggy shares his affection for abstract art, exhibits it at a cute little London gallery known as "Guggenheim Jeune." Promised for exhibition in Paris last fortnight was Peggy's own large and brilliant collection of non-objects. At the last moment casual Parisians were disgusted to learn that "Guggenheim Jeune," all aflutter, had canceled the show "because of the danger of war." Last week Peggy Guggenheim cast in her lot with London by announcing that this autumn "Guggenheim Jeune" would be expanded into a Museum of Modern Art with...
