...moving steadily to overcome Socony's comparatively slow start in petrochemicals. A year ago, Nickerson tapped Chemical Engineer Paul V. Keyser Jr. to head Socony's new Mobil Chemical Co. Last week, to get into the booming British petrochemical market, Mobil Chemical offered to buy O. & M. Kleemann Ltd., a British plastics manufacturer, for about $20 million. Also in the works: a $20 million petrochemical plant in Italy, to give Socony a foothold in the Common Market...
...Hartung, at 52, is being hailed by critics as "one of the prophets of modern art" (in Paris) and ''one of the most influential painters of the postwar period" (in Germany). In the U.S., where Hartung is having his first one-man show at Manhattan's Kleemann Galleries, the Museum of Modern Art's Director of Collections Alfred Barr Jr. calls him "perhaps the best master of calligraphic abstraction." Hartung himself is more laconic. Asked by a Parisian art critic to describe how he painted, he replied: "I draw lines...
This year the work of Jawlensky (pronounced Yav-lensky) is having a spirited revival that has brought a round of exhibits in Germany, London and Paris, and a current show at Manhattan's Kleemann Galleries (see color page).

Last week Louis Eilshemius was again hailed as "the greatest living master"-this time by somebody else.* In three of Manhattan's swank 57th Street galleries- Kleemann, Boyer, Valentine, he was being given simultaneous one-man shows. Another Eilshemius exhibition was touring the Pacific Coast; a fifth was about to be sent through the Middle West. In seven short years the Mahatma has turned from a crank to a cult. Manhattan's sedate Metropolitan Museum has three of his canvases, and he is represented in virtually every important public and private art collection...
Last week the same Albert Sterner, now 74, held an exhibition of 18 paintings and 32 prints, drawings and monotypes at Manhattan's Kleemann Galleries. The art world paid respectful attention, for Artist Sterner, who has been called the "ablest figure painter in America," is at least one of the ablest and most forceful draftsmen of the nude in the U. S. At last week's exhibition his portrait heads, still lifes and landscapes were unexceptionable, but several of his nudes showed that his rapid, unerring draftsmanship has not faded with the years...
