...Wages of Fear. French, yet a surprising commercial success in the U.S. (both with sub-titles and in a dubbed version). Henri-Georges Clouzot wrote and directed this tragedy of Latin truckers working in a South American town run by American oil interests. Suspenseful and sometimes brutal, never sentimental. 1953, Janus Film Festival. Harvard Square's festival of eminent films including Jean Renoir's best (Rules of the Game) and Sergei Eisenstein's last (Ivan the Terrible), Beauty and the Beast, Jean Cocteau's luxurious fairy tale fantasy, complements Marcel Camus's exotic myth Black Orpheus, set in Rio. Marcel...
...collectors of his time except the Steins. Morosov's tastes were slightly more conservative. He had 18 Cézannes, no fewer than five of which are in the present show, but he balked at Cubism. Schuhkin, however, absorbed it all, from the primitive and enchanted jungles of Henri Rousseau to the most difficult early cubist Picassos, from the bustling impressionist streetscapes of Pissarro to the dense, darkly resonant and sinister vision with which Gauguin, in Tahiti, could invest even a subject like Still-Life with Fruit...

Echoing Tocqueville, Revel and countless other fascinated tourists to the New World, Switzerland's Georges-Henri Martin, editor of La Tribune de Geneve, notes: "America is still our model, for better or worse. What happens there, we find, comes here later...
...partly mortgaged for several years in advance against one painting. The result: the Met needed money. Hoving proposed to get it through "deaccessioning" pictures-the barbaric museum jargon for preparing to sell. Last September, the Met revealed that it had deaccessioned a major work from the De Groot bequest, Henri Rousseau's The Tropics, and secretly sold it, along with Vincent Van Gogh's The Olive Pickers, to Marlborough Fine Art galleries. No price was given, but the reliable figure was $1.5 million for the two. This is well below their market value; the Rousseau alone was resold...
