...Foreign Office, is the first full-scale account in English of this extraordinary man. His career is only comprehensible in terms of a day when Europe was fragmented into provinces rather than nations, when men were loyal to patrons rather than nations, and when aristocrats felt more kinship to other aristocrats than to their own peasants. Eugen was the product of just such confused loyalties, unimaginable in these tidier times. For all his years serving the Habsburgs, for instance, he never mastered German...
...Halpert married living painting with her second great love-American folk art-to show "a kinship and a source" for contemporary art. She came back from cash-and-carry raids into the countryside with her Hupmobile limousine loaded down with Americana. Then she showed it alongside her Yasuo Kuni-yoshis, Elie Nadelmans and Marsden Hartleys. The folk art sold itself and helped sell modern work. In fact, Mrs. Halpert's first sale was pure Americana curio-a chalk mantel stop, used to hold down lace mantel coverings...
Anatomical Outlaw. For a while, Bonnard was a flaneur and sketcher of Paris street life. Lithography, with its kinship to line drawing and its inherent limits of only a few undifferentiated colors, was Bonnard's proving ground. He embellished sheet music and illustrated the writings of Verlaine, Octave Mirbeau and Andre Gide. The flat stone's print only confirmed him as an outlaw toward perspective, modeling and rigorous anatomy...
...Shankar is India's most famed traditional musician. In the past half-dozen years, through a series of recordings and globe-girdling tours, Shankar has proved to jazz fans that his improvisational flights have an exciting kinship to modern jazz. Joy, Eroticism. Part of the appeal is the extraordinary range of sounds that can be coaxed out of the awkward- looking sitar, from deep guttural sighs to piercing cries. Fashioned 700 years ago, the sitar has six or seven playing strings, 19 "sympathetic" resonating strings, so sensitive that they must be retuned while being played, and two bulbous gourds...
...brac. In Britain, where the revival has fired popular fancy, William Morris prints are the current fashion fabric hit. Munich's taste-setting decorator store, Die Einrichtung, recently supplemented its modern pieces with settees, rosewood chests, chairs, shelves and ceramics whose curvaceous shape and exotic flavor display kinship with the tenets of Henry van de Velde, Belgian painter, architect, designer, and leading prophet of art nouveau 70 years...
