...galleries grow kind to the Cinderellas of their collections and show American art. This year bicentennial tourism may aid Boston artists who are being shown at this least profitable time of year. In any case it's providing a patriotic theme for many of the gallery shows. Rolly-Michaux and Vose are showing American impressionists. Nasrudin, Neilsen, Shore and newly opened Sunne Savage are displaying contemporary Boston artists...
About a month ago, a friend of mine gave me a book on Jean Dubuffet. I haven't looked at it much, except to notice that he left the price tag on it, and that the stuff shown inside looks very bizarre. At any rate, the Rolly Michaux gallery is showing gouaches, lithographs and aquatints by Dubuflet Calder and Miro (who I'd at least heard of before) through March 21.

Died. Lightfoot Solomon Michaux, 84, Negro evangelist, whose messages of hope lifted the spirits of untold thousands during the Depression; of a stroke; in Washington, D.C.

So many people responded with screams and cash that Michaux was able to feed some 250,000 of the city's poor at his soup kitchen...
...list [March 25] is hopelessly provincial. However you define modernism, it is an international phenomenon. Yet Connolly leaves out Ibsen and Strindberg, Nietzsche and Rilke, Tolstoy and Chekhov, all of whom surely have "helped shape the contemporary mind" to a far greater degree than Ivy Compton-Burnett or Henri Michaux. What about Marinetti and Cavafy and Karel Capek and Federigo Garcia Lorca and other influential thinkers who did not happen to write in English or French...
