...painting like Untitled (Number 2), 1950, now looks like a singular prophecy of the stripe work that dominated New York galleries 15 years later; it predicts Noland all the way, from the long narrow format of canvas to the pure, hard-edged bands of red and black. (Asked if he had begotten stripe paintings, Newman replied with characteristic irony that "if I am the father, I never had the honor of knowing the mother.") But most Abstract Expressionists thought his work perversely formalistic. Its very muteness was an offense...
...Clockwise Path. The Mindszenty who came to Rome was hardly the Mindszenty that the Western world had had engraved so long and so indelibly on its memory. Mindszenty now is a tired old man, his firm jaw softened by the flesh of age, his pure white, close-cropped hair almost gone. Mindszenty's health was at least one factor in Paul's strong plea for him to come to Rome; the Cardinal's feet are inflamed with phlebitis, and he walks only with difficulty. But it is amazing that his health is as good...
...former Life photographer and current member of Magnum Photos, Inc., leads us on a tour of pop and chrome America. Oblique lines on a parking lot lead us to a lone horse-rider on blacktop; an arrow directs us past a rooster on a traffic island. Emphasizing design and pure form, Uzzle illustrates an econoline van making it a highly disciplined composition--circular wheels, white slab body that flows into each white side of the frame, and black geometric solids surround the white...
...other hand, wardens and other prison authorities are warning that pure and simple repression without improvements will simply lead to other, and more desperate uprisings. These cautionary words should find some receptive ears in Washington. Richard Nixon has devoted more money and attention to the problem than any previous President. The Bureau of Prisons' budget has increased from $69 million in 1969 to $194 million for 1972; the corrections slice of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration's budget has grown from $2 million in 1969 to $178 million this year. More than that, both the President and Attorney...
Even the title is pure Greene: low-key, self-deprecating, perfectly descriptive. Indeed, readers hoping for massive disclosures about the author's marriage, love life, experience of miracles, abortive World War II spy career, trip to a leper colony, et al., had best go back again to the novels. This brief autobiographical fragment ends in 1931. Greene was 27 years old at the time, and about to face a decade of relative failure following his early hit with a book called The Man Within. As he writes somewhat archly in the preface, more or less explaining why he stops...
