Marie Laurencin, whose covers of Vanity Fair are known in this country, has a few color lithographs which are really mid-Victorian in comparison with some of the work of her countrymen. Pablo Picasso may be seen in two colored etchings which are characteristic of his latest and more incomprehensible moments; George Braque and Andre Lurcat contribute to the confusion of one who would like very much to understand.
