...Russell's aim was slapstick parody. Yet, to judge from his publicity, Russell believes that his erratic mediation between Vasari and Groucho Marx tells some truth about the creative processes of his hero. But it does not, and so Gaudier-Brzeska joins the line of artists - Gauguin, Michelangelo, Van Gogh - whom the movies have turned into silhouettes of the romantic outsider...
...muralist. Though he retained the stark primary colors used by his mentor, Glarner skewed the Mondrian rectangles in an attempt to make his work seem less static.

Italian Line officials figure that they may not make money on the students-food alone will cost up to $100 a head on each sailing -but that once introduced to the indulgent joys of sailing, young travelers...
