Johannes Stark is a crusty old "Aryan" German, whose researches in physics were good enough to win him a Nobel Prize (1919). For a long time he has whooped up the merits of hardheaded experiment as against those of dreamy theory. Last spring, in the British journal Nature, he succeeded in getting published a manifesto entitled "The Pragmatic and the Dogmatic Spirit in Physics" (TIME, May 23).

Last week's visitors saw his superb painting of the great violinist, Paganini; studies for some of his famous murals; colorful pictures of the Moroccan subjects by which he introduced the Exotic to French art-in all, 18 works by an artist whom Frenchmen consider as important in painting as Beethoven was in music...
