Window dressers twisted the work of dozens of living and dead painters into ads to catch the feminine shopper's eye. Their displays were painted and draped to resemble Gauguins, Bonnards, Utrillos, Chiricos, Redons, Vlamincks. Helena Rubinstein's famed beauty salon decked itself with Picasso, Manet and Rembrandt windows, including living female models who held poses as painted portraits for 15 minutes at a stretch. Finally Bonwit Teller went everybody else one better...
...exhibit of modern prints in Fogg Museum affords the opportunity of seeing lithographs and etchings by Pissarro, Manet, and Renoir, in addition to the infinitely finer and more interesting products of contemporaries such as Benton, Picasso, Matisse, Lehmbruck, and Rivera. It is interesting to find what these men have to say for themselves through the simple medium of the print, for none of them are generally thought of as lithographers or etchers.

With a few long, easy, flowing lines he brings his sketches to life, for it is life and movement that he is most interested in. That is why he drew so constantly the dancers of the Paris Opera. The one painting of a "Ballet Dancer" on display illustrates his characteristic treatment of this subject. The figure, which is light and graceful, wears a light blue dress with spots here and there of sheer color...
