Arnulf Rainer, the man before the mirror, is a Viennese painter working under the influence of LSD. One of 34 artists who participated in a controlled experiment to test the effects of the drug on creative activity, Rainer was alternately amazed, disturbed and delighted to find himself turning his face into a self-portrait. The sequence is one of the most dramatic moments in a film titled The Artificial Paradises, which will be shown on West German television next week. The guiding genie behind the tests was Dr. Richard Hartmann, a Munich psychiatrist and art dealer, working in conjunction with...
Harvard agrees with the black students that the category of painter's helper should be abolished. "The students had asked that all helpers be reclassified as painters, but the Administration said that not all would be automatically promoted. A new apprenticeship program will be open to those former helpers who wish to join.

...special quality of Collector Tannahill's taste was for the warmly intimate. He chose the sensuous over the coldly classical, and though he appreciated style, he did not care for the showy.

Even the Rousseau is a little offbeat, though the famous Sunday painter of imaginary jungles and deserts did some similar scenes from life in the suburbs of Paris. This fine example has all the qualities that excited the admiration of Picasso and other masters of modernism: the naive perspective, the careful yet unrealistic drawing, the distinctive overall look that instantly proclaims...
...University says that the helpers have a regular grievance procedure whereby they can protest if they feel that they have enough experience to be journeymen. As one helper said recently, "a white painter filed two grievances, and ever since he's been given shit work and gets needled constantly." A white painter who has painted for Harvard for more than fifteen years said, "If you file a grievance, it'll hurt you later. Everyone knows this." Painters' helpers who have asked for promotion because of their experience have been told they have a "bad attitude" toward their work and have...
