...CHRYSLERS with quickie retrimming job will be wheeled out this month to combat sales slump. Windsor, Saratoga and New Yorker models will have splashier trim all around, sweeping chrome strips along side and rear panels, plus mascara-like black paint around headlights for "space age effect...
...year; the Ecole de Paris remains the most talked about, the most museum-represented "school" in the world. But there are no revolutions, no barricades. There are no new leaders to rank with or even near Picasso and Chagall and Braque. There is a group of talented artists who paint in styles ranging from realistic to expressionistic, from primitive to symbolic (see color pages). Among the best: ¶ Alfred Manessier, 47 (TIME, Oct. 24, 1955), who was shaken out of his surrealist visions by World War II nightmares, spent four days in 1942 in a Trappist monastery that "transformed...
...boosted his ego, heralded his triumphs. Hofmann recalls that "she gave in all the time. She was very feminine." The childless Pollocks bought a house in East Hampton, L.I., and he made the barn into his studio. But Lee had her own studio in the house and never stopped painting.

The designs are utterly abstract: looping, recurving spirals and disturbed, bulbous forms. They have haunting titles: e.g., Visitation, Listen. They mostly seem to express death-haunted themes that, Lee Krasner says, make it "hard enough for me just to accept my own paintings." But they also strike...
...height of his fame, poor Jonas poses for a portrait of the artist at work, but he himself no longer has the time or spirit to paint. Cognac consoles him with the illusion of creativity, and girls with the illusion of vitality. After that, Jonas' decline is swift, sure and touching. Dying, he scribbles one word on a blank canvas, but no one can be sure "whether it should be read solitary or solidary" (i.e., at one with society). Moral: wooing the Muse is not half so important, or difficult, as staying married...
