...paint the mural, involving a total of 120-odd figures, Johns Hopkins commissioned Painter Leon Kroll, 71, famed as "dean of U.S. nude-painters," who labored 2½ years on the task. Unquestioned hit of the series, and for Muralist Kroll ("I like women better than men") a labor of love, are the Baltimore belles. To record them, Kroll started with nude models (see cut), then borrowed or bought authentic turn-of-the-century gowns, used photographs and Baltimorites' recollections to recapture the exact features and coloring of the originals...
Shahn's philosophy, if a painter need have one, emerge roughly from a collection of bright things Rodman has gathered from the artist's lips. For example on Mondrian, Shahn is quoted as saying "Mondrian spent a lifetime sharpening his chisel and then never used it." Or another comment along the same line, "design is only one of five or six things a picture must have to be good...
Married to Part-time Painter Anne Barstow, has three children: David, 20, of the Coldstream Guards; Clarissa, 17, student at the Sorbonne; Antonia, 9.

An even more direct approach, inspired by the drab realities of postwar Britain, is the young, vigorous "Kitchen Sink" school with painters such as Jack Smith, 28, and Edward Middleditch, 33, taking for their subjects the groceries on a kitchen table, teapots, stoves and even...
...like their contemporaries elsewhere, most of the younger British painters seem determined to buck all tradition. Veering off on new courses of their own, they plainly show the influence of U.S. abstract expressionists, rated by British critics as a visual equivalent of rock 'n' roll. Prime example is Painter William Scott, 43, now having his first one-man show in Manhattan at the Martha Jackson Gallery. Scott's ominous saucepans owe something to the slick stick school of France's Bernard Buffet (TIME, Feb. 27), just as his segmented, all-red nudes do to Jean Dubuffet...
