...educational Concord Academy (annual fee for boarders: $4,100). While photographers clicked away, Caroline and a friend strolled around the campus, sipping soft drinks. Back in Athens, meanwhile, her stepfather Aristotle Onassis played host at a roistering party for his son Alexander, 24, Actress Elsa Martinelli, Odile Rodin (widow of Porfirio Rubirosa) and four other intimate chums. The evening ended in a tumultuous traditional session of plate smashing on the dance floor of the Neraida nightclub. "I lost count of the plates," said a witness, "but it must have been an Olympic record." Theoretically, the shattered plates could get Onassis...
...sculptor, Matisse was largely self-taught-Rodin refused to have him as a student, though he worked with Antoine Bourdelle. Yet his sculpture is a superb demonstration of the way a great artist will find a use and a form for all his sensations. "I took up sculpture," said Matisse, "because what interested me in painting was a clarification of my ideas . . . When I found it in sculpture, it helped me in my painting. I kept working in the hope of finding an ultimate method...
...could formulate. Perhaps Matisse was not as "radical" a sculptor as he was a painter. His sculpture was avowedly traditional; it addressed itself, as his paintings did, to the classic themes of the erect or reclining figure, the portrait and the nude. But only a few early modern sculptors - Rodin, Bourdelle and Degas in old age - achieved the same vitality of surface and gesture. One can hardly imagine more joy communicated by the act of squeezing clay, and though Matisse's sculpture has had little effect on later artists, it still remains an exquisite testament to the douceur...
Pulitzer's collection roots in the traditional--Rodin bronzes. Degas' dancers, and an enchanting portrait by Gustave Courbet. But the same tendencies toward the traditional that provide such great work, hinder Pulitzer's choice; the artists of the 60's look unexciting compared to the Master Photographers next door who treat their medium with a clarity and fervor. And although Pulitzer's masters shine, his efforts to furnish answers to problems of the creative eye, barely ask the primary questions. With Harvard's new committee to investigate the situation of the undergraduate, arts program, the Fogg will acquire more progressive...
...Barbara Morgan's photo "Pregnant" (a pregnant woman's torso), if it had been placed next to a reproduction of Van Eyck's Eve from the Ghent Altarpiece, certainly would emphasize the classic form. So would John Brook's "Moon in Leo" if placed next to a similarly entwined Rodin couple. Next to Christine Enos' "Richard" (a man flanked by two statues of Greek goddesses) should have been placed sculpture representations of the Greek god-athlete-man. Goodwin Harding's "emulation of the classic nude in photography" should have been put next to an Edward Weston nude to show...
