Even in the lowliest problem, the disposal of municipal and industrial wastes that pollute the air and the streams of the U.S., there has been some progress. In a process now being established in Houston and three other cities, tin cans and other ferrous-metal objects are separated magnetically from other wastes. Rags, paper, plastics and aluminum, wood and rubber are hand-picked from the conveyer belt, each for assignment to reprocessing and recovery. The remaining organic material is "cooked" and deodorized to produce fertilizer. The object in view is that each city will become a closed loop-like...
...quiet little man who was the object of such attention never thought so well of himself. Born in 1824, he had spent his childhood at Le Havre, and when his early facility at drawing earned him a grant to study art in Paris, he chose instead to paint on his own and use the money for living. Boudin had discovered and nurtured the young Claude Monet, but he did not think that he himself had the "temperament" to become a great master. And so he preferred to do what pleased him. Unencumbered by academic training, he developed alone into...
...Smith had begun to explore the Analytical Cubists' idea of analyzing a three dimensional object into various views and recomposing it in an illusionary two dimensional picture plane. The Analytical Cubists reveal several views of the subject in juxtaposition, intending to provide a more complete, immediate knowledge of the object. To represent a cup, the Cubist painter might juxtapose a view of one side with a full view of the bottom, in the same picture plane...
...round; the composition demands that it be seen from a specific position. In addition, the welding technique tends to stress the edges between planes. The welds darken and suggest the lines of a drawing which are used to separate the planes in the representation of a three dimensional object. In Cubi I, the surfaces of the forms in shadow do not appear to go back into space behind the illuminated surfaces, instead they seem to be darker forms in the same plane which suggest shadow. In Cubi XXVIII, Smith, using this planar illusion, forces the viewer to see even...
Freedman emphasized that haste is of extreme importance in such work. If stains are allowed to dry, they may permanently discolor an object...
