...cigar-smoking, 32-year-old sculptress named Fiore de Henriquez rippled the placid pond of British art last summer by inspiring venerable (75) Painter Augustus John to work in clay (TIME, Feb. 23). Last week Fiore was showing off her own work at her first one-woman show in London.

At her first one-woman show at Rome's important Zodiaco Gallery, Roman art lovers quickly took to Beverly's relaxed, motherly views of ordinary people-churchgoing Negroes in Georgia, earthy peasants in France, broad-hipped laundry women in Italy.
