...PORTRAIT OF MANON (RCA Victor). Soprano Anna Moffo is ideally gifted to sing Manon-both Puccini's and Massenet's. In this two-LP collection of scenes from both operas, she enhances Puccini by shading and softening the music where it is too bold, then enriches Massenet with a vivid, vibrant performance of his pastel score...
...78th. Death put an end last year to the more than 60 years in art that Villon called "a long love affair." It was a happy one that mellowed and matured with the man, and it is tellingly revealed by these 15 oil paintings. The earliest is a 1909 Portrait of the Artist; he is young, bearded, not yet taken with cubism. The latest is The Environs of Rouen, painted in 1960, luminous proof of how apt was his self-summation as a "cubist impressionist." Through April...
LEONARD BASKIN-Associated American Artists, 605 Fifth Ave. at 49th. Ten etched portrait studies of Ensor, Bruegel, Callot and other figures from the past.

His Munch is a memorable expressionistic achievement of the Norwegian painter's own aim to synthesize modern form and symbolic expression. Through April...
Even more than his father, Jamie is drawn to local characters. At Swarthmore he shows a translucent, almost Flemish portrait of Lester, which suggests that everyman's mind, like the dumbest, claws at his own furthest limits of knowing the world. Another portrait is Shorty, which sets a stubble-faced recluse incongruously in a sleek green silk wingback chair. (Soon after the portrait was finished, Shorty burned to death in his shack.) An eerie vision of a Mushroom Picker in the subterranean farms of Pennsylvania casts the tiny fungus caps in an almost surreal drama of light and shadow...

After a lonely, long-drawn adolescence, Conrad becomes an exceptionally promising young executive in a textile firm, and he marries the daughter of one of its owners. Then he sees a portrait of his wife's beautiful younger sister and hears the story of her apparent murder, eight years earlier, in a locked, private compartment of a Stuttgart-bound express. Several suspects were questioned, but no arrest had ever been made...
