In Young Man with a Horn, the hero is called Rick Martin, and he is presented as a good-natured, hardworking, colorless individual, an orphan who learns to play the piano...
About eight years ago the Compañia Argentina de Alpargatas, a Buenos Aires shoe company, was lucky enough to sign up a 39-year-old artist named Florencio Molina Campos. The calendars which Artist Campos has been turning out every year for the Compañia Argentina de Alpargatas are highly prized rarities in the U. S. and may well be collectors' items when the Compañia's last shoes are worn to dust. Last week this distant reputation materialized in Manhattan in the form of an intent, sardonic, cigar-waving Latin and about 40 paintings...
