Nineteenth-century France produced few greater sculptors than Antoine Bourdelle, and fewer still who had greater effect on sculptors of the twentieth century. Rodin, his longtime friend and teacher, called him a "pathfinder of the future." Bourdelle spread his influence by teaching and writing, and both Giacometti and Germaine Richier served apprenticeships in his studio...
...Most Beautiful Palette." The impressionists and Cezanne, says Critic Cachin, insisted that Delacroix had "the most beautiful palette in French painting." Rodin admired him "as the painter of movement," and Renoir considered Delacroix "the essential link" between him and Rubens and Titian. Seurat said of his theory of color that "it represents the most rigorous application of scientific principles interpreted through a personality." Matisse and Van Gogh had Delacroix reproductions on their walls, and Kandinsky was in debt to Delacroix when he began formulating his theory on the correlation of color and the states of the human soul...
...works selected from 889 entries gathered from the Southwest-which he decreed to be bordered roughly by the Mississippi River on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. He has acquired art of quality, whether it be a torso from ancient Greece, The Walking Man by Rodin, a Calder stabile, or a 23-ft.-long carved crocodile from New Guinea. And he sometimes exhibits things just to keep Houston up to date with the latest fads. Last week, in the big hall designed by Mies van der Rohe that forms a wing of the original Greek revival building...
...Great Propagators. By the thousands people came-upper Madison Avenue ladies interestedly peering at The Kiss, a beatnik who had to see the show even if it meant lugging the baby uptown, suburban matrons intelligently relating Rodin to the Greeks. Until modern times, only a tiny proportion of humanity ever looked at art, and even they were confined to what was close at hand. Now museums more than ever search out the treasures of the world, hidden in private collections, ancient temples, obscure monasteries, half-forgotten castles. They gather the works of one man or one school from all over...
...part of it is left with those who will stop to share it. But in the best of the shows of May 1963, there is something in common: the "inner necessity" of which the Blue Rider movement spoke, combined with a sense of interdependence. From ancient Greece to Rodin to Lipchitz is a distant course but logical. From the lushness of Delacroix to the colored orchestrations of the Fauves is hardly a giant leap; and the abstract expressionists have claimed Turner as a father. In this one week, the world's walled museums are helping to build Malraux...
