RANGED around the world TIME has the largest corps of correspondents reporting to any single publication -more than 440 fulltime and part-time reporters.

In oil paint, the vigor of his rough and somewhat arbitrary compositions is easily expressed but soft and hard graphite pencil on a thin, flexible paper cannot imbue them with the necessary conviction. The scribbly, hectic quality of a piece like La Francaise indicates the extent to which the Cubist treatment of the human form was alien to Modigliani's romantic, and poetic temperament...
