Real estate is, of course, the least of Picasso's inheritance from Cezanne. The transition from one painter to the other is direct and complete. Their aesthetic credos coincide and their sucessive development is a matter of logical procession. Yet, it is seldom that one sees the two exhibited side by side. Collectors whose tastes embrace Cezanne somehow are wont to find Picasso extreme and lately it has become fashionable to see the older master as a conservative, so a chance to see the two in close proximity is welcome and valuable...

Italians were quick to read budding romance into her frequent dates with tall, retiring Prince Henry of Hesse, 31, a Protestant and a scion of the Italian House of Savoy. Henry, a talented painter of surrealist landscapes, has had one-man exhibitions in London, Paris, and U.S. cities...
