...exhibit of modern prints in Fogg Museum affords the opportunity of seeing lithographs and etchings by Pissarro, Manet, and Renoir, in addition to the infinitely finer and more interesting products of contemporaries such as Benton, Picasso, Matisse, Lehmbruck, and Rivera. It is interesting to find what these men have to say for themselves through the simple medium of the print, for none of them are generally thought of as lithographers or etchers. Their reputations are founded upon their ability to paint, and although the distance which separates a painting from a print is not great, it can not be denied...
...Rivera, however, is primarily a painter. Despite the fact that he too is, in a sense, a decorative artist, his work manages to transcend the limits of pure decoration, for his color is not simply color "in vacuo," but is integrally connected with the subject he happens to be concerned with.

Their frescoes are in the standard historical vein, grey and red their predominant colors. Contemporary, unlike their murals, are their canvases now on show at the New York and San Francisco World Fairs. But, says Eddie Millman: "In murals alone can art reach the large masses of people. . . . Easel paintings are too personal, too limited in appeal. . . . Painting, to be really functional, must be taken from small...
When Miguel Primo de Rivera was dictator of Spain from 1923 to 1930 many Spanish Leftist leaders cooperated with the dictatorship even though they fundamentally opposed it. Last week those opposed to Generalissimo Francisco Franco's regime felt safest outside the country...
