Because the paintings of Pierre Auguste Renoir are not only great but pretty, as he once said paintings should be, few years go by without a new Renoir exhibition in Paris or the U. S. In 1933 the Chicago Art Institute included a fine roomful of Renoirs in its Century of Progress loan exhibition, and two years ago the Durand-Ruel Galleries showed 30 choice canvases in Manhattan (TIME, March 25, 1935). Last week the most comprehensive U. S. exhibition of Renoir since the painter's death in 1919 drew hundreds of Manhattanites to the Metropolitan Museum...
Artist Utrillo, born 53 years ago, is the illegitimate son of a onetime circus acrobat, Marie Suzanne Valadon, who at the age of 15 became a favorite nude model for Renoir, Puvis de Chavannes and Toulouse-Lautrec, later became a painter herself and is alive today, still painting, with a reputation nearly as great as that of her son. The father was an alcoholic, ill-tempered, untalented painter named Boissy. In 1888, when little Maurice was five, pretty Suzanne Valadon married a Paris importer named Paul Mousis, but M.

...great French Impressionists, his family and his firm have not had to worry since.

Any painter sponsored by cautious Durand-Ruel is apt to have enduring ability, and their patronage...
Painting very faintly in the manner of Bonnard and Renoir, Artist Malherbe is a vivid colorist, specializing in dashing, brilliant-hued landscapes, flower pieces and nudes. His brother Henry is a well-known music critic. Hard working, and after four years in the War almost pathologically shy, Artist Malherbe has just one interest out side his painting: Nornie, his black-saddled wirehaired fox terrier, which he likes to put in figure compositions. Represented in a dozen good collections, Artist Malherbe has a technical peculiarity. He paints everything on panels of soft wood, to ab sorb the excess...
...those residents who like to think of Colorado Springs as "the Boston of the West," were to hear Albert Spalding fiddle, watch Martha Graham dance, hear Soprano Eva Gauthier sing. There was also art to be seen: indigenous paintings of the Southwest and a loan collection of Cezanne, Renoir, Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani, Braque, Leger. All this manifestation of the life of the spirit was to open a brand new cultural fane in the Rockies: Colorado Springs' $1,000,000 Fine Arts Center...
