...first time in years, the U. S. walked off with five of the eight Carnegie prizes, and did it with a true melting-pot flourish. Second prize went to Yasuo Kuniyoshi; second, third and fourth honorable mentions to Raphael Soyer, Aaron Bohrod and Ernest Fiene, U. S. artists all, though only Brook and Bohrod are native-born. Russian Marc Chagall, Spanish Mariano Andréu and Parisian Maurice Brianchon, who all paint in France, won the three remaining prizes...
...biggest show of its kind ever put on. From some 25,000 entries, judges chose 1,214 examples of painting, sculpture and the graphic arts.

His great-eyed, meanderingly drawn figures often seem to exist in a mussy halo of phosphorescence, with vast spaces of mere paint around them. This highly mannered style does not satisfy Kuniyoshi, but it is the first one he has made fully and expressively...
Storm (see cut), a fragile swirl of trees, a tethered and terrified stallion and grey space of storm cloud. At 45, accounted one of the dozen most accomplished U. S. painters, Kuniyoshi has begun to make money after years in which he "did everything but commercial art" to keep alive. One thing annoys him: having been born in Japan he cannot become a U.
