During his first years in Paris, Matisse studied with Gustave Moreau who was unprejudiced against experimental art even though known work was a continuation of Delacroix along traditional lines. With Moreau's encouragement, Matisse...
...this corporate marriage,the Pennsy will play the husband. Its 97,400 shareholders will hold 61% of the stock in the new company and control 14 of the 25 directorships. Chairman and chief executive will be Pennsy Chairman Stuart Saunders, 56, a Harvard-educated lawyer who started the rail industry's merger marathon a decade ago as boss of the Norfolk & Western, which he arranged to unite with four other roads. The president and chief operating officer will be the Central's Perlman, 63, who is more noted for forceful operating know-how than deft administration. And keeping...
