...think it can be said that Cezanne is first and foremost the painter's painter. Whether he deals with a mountain or an apple he concentrates upon the inner architecture of his subject. An analogy with Bach is entirely correct--the partitas and fugues rather than the masses and cantatas. In both cases pure form is the object; in both the most complete spiritual clarity is achieved; in both sentimentality is banished.

Construction in northeast and midwest states (where pools often double as skating rinks in winter) will increase on an average of 70% over last year, and in southwest and mountain states a 61% increase in construction is expected in 1959.
