Thanks, TIME, for making my wish come-true with that beautiful reproduction of Osculum Silence by Jules Olitski, second prizewinner in painting now being seen at the Pittsburgh International Exhibition [Nov. 3]. When I saw that big, throbbing painting on the opening night of the exhibition, I thought to myself, "How I'd like to have a good reproduction of that!" So once again I am grateful to TIME and to its ART section...
...earliest crude beauty of Sumerian sculpture, the high glories of Renaissance painting, the colored infernos of present-day abstractionists have all been seen in TIME. This week, for example, while most U.S. newspapers are content to print the list of the top prizewinners at the Carnegie International of Pittsburgh, and a few to show the prizes in black and white, TIME brings not only the news about the judging (as told by Art Editor Bruce Barton Jr.), but reproductions of the winners in full color...
...title of the show was hard to digest, and the contents even harder. When the 1961 Pittsburgh International Exhibition of Contemporary Painting and Sculpture opened at the Carnegie Institute last week, it put on display 329 paintings and 116 sculptures by 441 artists from 29 countries.

Notably missing are the "apathetes" of the '50s-the "silent generation." President Edward D. Eddy Jr. of Pittsburgh's Chatham College, a noted expert on U.S. student attitudes, credits the change to the nation's recent peace and prosperity-a nice switch on the notion that only a war or a depression can make students serious. "Today's college girl is more serious about everything, including...
...Boston merger was also fresh evidence that Richard E. Berlin, 67, cost-conscious president of the parent Hearst Corp., intends to strip the Hearst chain of all its weak links. Since 1951, when Chain Forger William Randolph Hearst died, Berlin has sold three Hearstpapers (Chicago's American, the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, the Detroit Times) and merged the San Francisco Call-Bulletin with Scripps-Howard's News, retaining only a financial interest in the hyphenated News-Call Bulletin. At least three other Hearstpapers have been offered for sale: the Los Angeles morning Examiner and evening Herald-Express...
