...would be the cowardly thing to do," declared the familiar earnest voice from beneath familiar furrowed brows. "Pat and I this day have adopted two Vietnamese orphans -one from North Viet Nam, one from South Viet Nam. In America, anything is possible." The sound is Richard Nixon, emanating from Impressionist David Frye, taking off the President to crowds at Washington's Shoreham Hotel, Nixon's election-night headquarters. Frye, hunching into his shoulders and flashing a V sign, continues: "My Administration has taken crime off the streets and put it into the White House, where I can watch...
Convictions. Last year, a group of more than 80 impressionist and post-impressionist works from the Hermitage and Pushkin collections traveled to Holland's Kroller-Muller Museum. On April 2 a smaller version of that show with a few additions-41 paintings in all-opens at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., before going to New York's M. Knoedler & Co., Inc. in May. It is an event not only for the National Gallery but also for Knoedler's, whose chairman, Occidental Petroleum's Armand Hammer (TIME, Jan. 29) was instrumental in persuading the Soviet government...
...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...

Italy, for example, could swap a vase for a French impressionist painting. Failing that, museums must become more scrupulous. A group of museums in the U.S. has already taken the first significant step. In recent years policy statements have been issued by the Field Museum, the University Museum in Carbondale, Ill., the University Museum in Pennsylvania and all the collections of Harvard...
Robinson originally considered himself miscast as a criminal, and in a way he was right. He was a pillar of Beverly Hills' genteel society, a philanthropist who supported and worked for dozens of causes. He played the harp, amassed an immense collection of impressionist art and was a student of eight languages. When he and Gladys Lloyd, his wife of 28 years, were divorced in 1955, the settlement forced him to sell off his $3,250,000 collection, pieces that he called his "children." But he married again and went back to work despite ill health. Bearded, gray...
