...Frenchmen do not believe that, and the reason for their disbelief is that someone has indeed made book of De Gaulle's sayings over the years. The book is La Tragedie du General, now the No. 1 bestseller in France, and its author is Paris-Match Political Editor Jean-Raymond Tournoux, who conducted more than 1,000 interviews with several hundred people who had talked with De Gaulle over a period of 20 years. In a recent Paris-Match article, Tournoux quoted De Gaulle as saying: "England-I want her in the nude," meaning shorn of all economic...
Opening Round. The gathering early last week in Lille, De Gaulle's birthplace, was an assemblage of some 5,000 Gaullist Deputies, prefects, mayors and youth leaders. It represented the opening round of Pompidou's efforts to shape De Gaulle's amorphous Union pour la Nouvelle Republique into a political party sturdy enough to survive the general. That the U.N.R. is not yet that was made all too clear in the parliamentary elections last spring, when the "godillots," or foot soldiers, of the general barely managed a one-seat majority in the National Assembly. The U.N.R...
Thanks to Chicago grandmothers like Mrs. Potter Palmer, the impressionist-loving grande dame of Chicago society in the 1890s, to say nothing of grandfathers like Hardware Heir Frederic Clay Bartlett, who gave the museum Seurat's La Grande Jatte, the Art Institute today is the possessor of a 19th century impressionist and postimpressionist collection among the best in the U.S. Under rangy (6 ft. 2 in., 195 Ibs.), Harvard-honed Charles C. Cunningham, 57, who took over as director a year ago after 20 years at Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum, the museum has hewed to a policy...
Chicago acquires new works primarily to illuminate the ones it already owns. Jacques Louis David's softly fragmented technique in his 1792 Portrait of the Marquise de Pastoret foreshadows the pointillism of La Grande Jatte. Gustave Caillebotte's huge (7 ft. by 9 ft.), damply breathtaking Place de I'Europe on a Rainy Day sheds light from a different angle; the wealthy Parisian civil engineer, dealing with a similar promenade scene only seven years before Seurat, builds his woman's figure with much the same solidity, but he toys with reflected light on umbrellas, cobblestones...
