...strict Calvinist schoolteacher, Mondrian began his art studies in Holland. In the Guggenheim show, we first meet him around 1890, painting talented but not remarkable brown Netherlands landscapes and still lifes. Though Mondrian came to detest nature, the flat horizons punctuated by vertical poplars and crisscross windmills gave him a set of predilections about form which survived through his career-immeasurably refined and philosophized...
...areas most affected, Chile led the Western Hemisphere, losing 6.1% of its priests. Brazil (4.5%) and Argentina (3.2%) outpaced both Canada (2.6%) and the U.S. (2%). In Europe, Holland had the highest percentage (5.9%), Spain a surprising 2.3%, Italy 1.5% and even Ireland 1.3%.

But next spring, Holland's Stedelijk Museum and the Duisburg Museum in Germany will jointly sponsor a show of four or five of his enormous steel constructions. The Whitney Museum plans an overdue retrospective for the fall...
...consumer movement and the environmental drive are having an impact not only on big executives but also on small shareholders. Consider the case of Robert Cecil of Holland, Mich. He owns some shares in Michigan General Corp., a diversified manufacturer. Cecil, one of those rare investors who scrutinizes his stock certificates instead of leaving them at the broker's office or a bank, was upset to discover that they bore the graven image of the Roman god Vulcan and a series of smokestacks spewing clouds of black smoke. Fuming, Cecil fired off a letter to the company...
