...years. André Susse, 49, the seventh in the Susse line of foun-drymen, is a meticulous craftsman and connoisseur. Over the years, Susse Brothers has played host and helper to such far-flung makers of sculpture history as Constantin Brancusi, Jean Arp, Henry Moore, Germaine Richier, and the painter-sculptors Picasso, Giacometti, Braque, Dali and Chagall...
...husband, a railroad brakeman (played by Painter Larry Rivers), comes home. He has invited a High Church bishop for tea. The bishop is like 20 years old, and he brings his mother. Not all the Beats are pleased. Ginsberg: "I'll go in the bathroom and watch television." Corso wonders if the bishop knows about "beer bottles that come in magic candlesticks.

This creed spurred the art-for-art's-sake movement with which an entire generation of painters and writers thwacked at the Victorian taste for the didactic, the sentimental and the morally elevating. From London (where he moved in 1859), Whistler deployed his canvases like troops in this avant-garde campaign. The fury...
...ABLE TO REACH YOU IN TIME FOR THE CEREMONY. DON'T WAIT. Had he lived to his centenary (he died in 1903), the aristocratic Whistler would have been crushed by something far smaller than a telegram. His Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother, as Whistler titled the portrait of his mother, achieved the sentimental distinction of gracing a 3? stamp. With stamp collectors, at least, the waspish dandy had become an immortal...
