...Delphic Studios last week, Mary Hoover, the only U. S. muralist ever to graduate from the chorus of Earl Carroll's Vanities, held her first Manhattan show with 28 bright, clear-cut canvases painted during the past two years in the little Balearic island of Ibiza. Her most effective pictures were a portrait of an island bartender, pouring a drink of brandy before a row of gaily labeled bottles; a girl in a striped blouse playing cards; a patient, silver-grey donkey with dejected ears...

His later rebellion against the stiffness of academic tradition is still a driving force behind his constant technical experiments. In the Cairo American Express office seven years ago he met the former Women's Page Editor of the New York Sun, eloped with her within two weeks to Munich. He has spent six months in Bali, lives part of every year in Santa Fe. Of his painted abstractions last week...
