...Joaquín Vaquero Turcios, 31, son of an established Madrid landscapist, is a bold muralist whose works form walls in churches, hospitals and universities across Spain, even an 8,611-sq.-ft. bulwark in an electrical plant in Grandas de Salime. His murals are close to "official" art, full of public consciousness, but when he won first prize at the 1963 Paris biennial, it was awarded for his feverish blend of abstraction and figuration. Vaquero Turcios fears gimmickry in the Spanish preoccupation with paint as material rather than illusion. But he himself uses a latex and plastic mixture...
...here." Painter Lucia Wilcox, who used to turn fish thrown away by local fishermen into bouillabaisse for Max Ernst, Jean Hélion and Fernand Léger when they were war refugees in the Hamptons, says, "I am crazy about the sky. It's like Paris." City Landscapist Jane Wilson likes the change. Moreover, Art lives comfortably with Wealth. Adolph Gottlieb is a neighbor to one of the U.S.'s richest in-surancemen.

Some critics have called her a "lyric expressionist," others an "abstract landscapist"; perhaps she is both and more. "With present techniques, an architect can build whatever he wants to," she says. "Why shouldn't I be able to build what I like in a painting?" Painter Vieira da Silva builds intricate constructions that never say, but only hint at what they...
...more into the limelight. As the show in Lamont testifies, his gifts were indeed impressive--he was a fine caricaturist (see his amusing sketch of Mendelssohn), his mastery of line at times equals Ingres' and his formal arrangements recall the brilliance of Toulouse-Lautrec. Though he was a clumsy landscapist, incompetent in his handling of perspective and an uninventive colorist, he had the good sense to play down these weaknesses and concentrated instead on the flat black and white sketches of people in urbane surroundings for which he is so famous...
