...exhibit will consist entirely of student-owned works of art, and will include paintings, drawings, graphic art, and sculpture of the Western world. All of the one hundred and thirty-eight works, which include pieces by Rouault, Klee, Picasso, Durer, Canaletto, Renoir, and Toulouse-Lautrec, were lent by thirty-eight Harvard and Radcliffe undergraduates...
...early and not especially rewarding Picasso that cost just $45,000 three years ago, was bought by Kirkeby only last year for a whopping $185,000. His loss on that canvas was more than compensated by record-breaking prices for a golden clutch of modern favorites: Modigliani, Rouault. Bonnard. Vlaminck, Signac, Morisot. Pissaro and Segonzac. The whole thing had the fever of a poker game, with the blue chips in the hands of professional gamblers...
...Renoir's painting, however. Maillol seemed always to have been at one with a Classical harmony, a Classical grace, a pure vision. The absence of turmoil and conflict which marks Maillol's sculpture and drawing is as fascinating in terms of his life as in regard to his work.

Maurice de Vlaminck, 82, earthy celebrator in paint of storm-clouded landscapes, a leader (with Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault) of the flamboyant Fauves (wild beasts) who shocked Paris art circles near the century's turn; at his farmhouse near Paris. The son of musician parents, husky Maurice worked intermittently as a factory hand, bicycle racer and gypsy fiddler, turned intently to painting in his 205 after his first awed exposure to the explosive colors of Van Gogh and a chance meeting with Fauve-to-be Andre Derain. Vlaminck became famous overnight after shrewd Dealer Ambroise Vollard bought...
...Marie-Alain Couturier (TIME, June 20, 1949 et seq.). Before his death in 1954, he sought out artists in their studios, urged them to try their talents at sacred art in modestly abstract and semi-abstract styles. The first significant experiment was the installation of windows by famed Georges Rouault in the small modern Alpine church at Assy. It proved so successful that the way was paved for others, including windows of Jean Bazaine and Fernand Léger at Audincourt, and Matisse's chapel at Vence. Today the stained-glass revival is sweeping into scores of medieval churches...
