HOSIASSON, SCHUMACHER, SERPAN-Kootz, 655 Madison Ave. at 60th. Three European painters work in a rich variety of oils. Philippe Hosiasson, Russian-born cousin of the late Boris Pasternak, carves wavy landscapes out of creamy colors. Germany's Emil Schumacher produces scarred and wounded figures from mixed media that resembles dried clay and hardened lava. Iaroslav Serpan, a Yugoslav teaching at the Sorbonne, swishes up a storm of spiny black lines in a sea of gentle blues and greens. Through...

He posed her with a model of the new Los Angeles Music Center, used a rich blue cloth to hang in for the city's sky, and added his impressionistic view of Los Angeles at night from the window of his hotel room.

Boscow of Investors Diversified Services, whose Investors Mutual Fund is the nation's largest ($2.6 billion): "We're not trying to make people rich. We're trying to make them comfortable." Mutual Fund managers point out that automakers and oil firms account for most of this year's gain in the Dow-Jones industrials, and that many stocks in the average were selling last week at prices uncomfortably close to their 1964 lows...
