METROPOLITAN-Fifth Ave. at 82nd. Seventy recent additions to the print collection. Choice are a red chalk drawing, Prudence, by the Dutch Master Engraver Goltzius; Rembrandt's masterly little etching, Landscape with a Man Sketching (circa 1645); and a rare Goya lithograph, Men Spitting at a Fire, showing the Spaniard's early use of the medium. Also on view is the Cubiculum, a Pompeian bedroom whose walls are slathered with paintings. Buried for 18 centuries under cinders from Mount Vesuvius, it was dug up in 1900 and only recently restored by the museum...
...millions of tomato-sauce recipes printed on paper matchbooks, it seemed only natural to Simon to buy up the company that made the matches: Ohio Match. That led him into lumber investments, and at roughly the same time he logically acquired companies that could make his cans and bottles, lithograph his labels and use his tomatoes for catsup. His biggest merger came in 1960 with Wesson Oil & Snowdrift Co., and last year Simon took over W. P. Fuller. While studying rotogravure printing for Ohio Match, Simon got interested in McCall Corp., bought a 36% interest in the company...
...eight U.S. cities, from Columbia, S.C., to Minneapolis, are currently seeing eight identical art exhibitions-and it is all done without any gimmickry, such as the use of reproductions or copies. That is one of the nice things about prints: each one, whether it be an etching, woodcut, lithograph or serigraph, is just as much an "original" as the first. The works shown on the next two pages are, necessarily, reproductions; tiny dots of color simulate a photograph of the original. But the prints that collectors buy and that museumgoers see come right from the hand of the artist...
...stone the most spontaneous, most direct medium for his ideas. "You can draw on stone with the same ease as paper, but you can also manipulate the surface for texture. I made India Night in Paris about a year ago, using three stones, since it is a three-color lithograph. As I worked on the stones with the color washes, I did many things-getting shaded effects with brushes, rags, lifting some of it off with pieces of Kleenex, scraping it, getting all the textures and special effects I wanted. I'm still learning new things myself...
...sculptures and many other knickknacks to decorate the new building. Most of the art is the contemporary abstract kind considered proper by that other Rockefeller institution, the Museum of Modern Art, and runs heavily to framed smudges of color (in David's private washroom, there is a Cézanne lithograph). Few Chase executives try to understand their boss's artistic acquisitions, and his family does not share his tastes. Peggy and the children recently assembled a Rube Goldberg statue from pipes, wrenches, tubes and scrap metal and presented it to David in all solemnity as their own latest artistic find...
