...harbor of San Francisco constitute one of the great urban beauties of North America. San Francisco Bay is not only vast-48 miles long, embracing 450 square miles of roadstead-but magnificently visible, cupped by the steeply carved mountains of the coast range.

Schoolboys who retain from their history books an image of a pale, young Napoleon seizing the tricolor at the Battle of Arcole know the work of Baron Antoine Jean Gros.

...Anatol Shulkin, a pale, round-faced, baldish little professional known principally for his murals, had an exhibition of easel work at the Midtown Galleries just two years later than it had been scheduled. Reason: two summers ago his summer place in New Jersey burned to the ground and ten years' work burned with it. The Shulkin mettle was proved in several smooth, strong, pleasant figure compositions notable for harmonizing brilliant colors without making them yell...
