...young and enticing as the one before. One or two seemed to be weeping, but most simply gazed serenely into space as if caught in the middle of some gentle reverie. Their creator, the late Aristide Maillol, had found one great theme for his art, the female nude, and he spent more than 40 years portraying its inexhaustible harmonies. Last week most of his women, each a study in curving grace (see color), were assembled in Paris from Europe, Canada and the U.S. to pay him tribute on the 100th anniversary of his birth...
...Kind words were no substitute for sales, and Maillol returned to Banyuls, where he hired a few local girls as weavers (he later married one of them), opened a small tapestry factory. But once again, sales were few. One day when he was nearly 40, he carved a small nude, Bather. At first Banyuls' prudery precluded his asking anyone to pose ("The best I succeeded in doing was to persuade my sister-in-law to raise her skirt a little above the knee"), but the small sculpture pleased him.

...four scattered locations across the U.S. last week, terror struck suddenly. ¶Floating half submerged in a tiny Fairfax County, Va., stream, the nude body of Marta Santa Cruz, 22, was discovered by two teenagers.

Such pictures have always been produced on Hollywood's fringes, but now Fox West Coast Theaters has started handling the West Coast bookings for Henry, which is already in its 21st week in a Hollywood "art" theater, goes citywide this week (eight theaters) and nationwide soon...
...insulting his friends and occasionally scribbling. During his final, alcoholic collapse he sits in a Greenwich Village bar playing the literary clown to agents and publishers, sexual adventuresses and adoring disciples. He is found one morning, overcome by escaping gas, in the apartment of an admirer who lies sprawled nude on the sofa. The girl dies immediately, but Clem lingers several days-time enough for the "trooping animals," with "a brutish anxiety not to let him go," to cluster in the hospital. Novelist Cassill parrots John Malcolm Brinnin's gruesome description of Dylan Thomas' similar death...
