...result is as modern as next year's car and as variegated as a Mexican market scene. Near the entrance looms an impressionistic statue of ex-President Alemán which bore such an odd resemblance to Joseph Stalin (see cut) that the sculptor had to do some retouching. Within the grounds a shell-roofed cosmic-ray laboratory shows the functional influence; translucent marble towers follow the "international" style of French architect Le Corbusier; glass-studded classroom cupolas renew the familiar form of the Spanish colonial. But all bear-in color, in texture, in decoration or design-the authentic...
...portrait sculptor, Jo Davidson had no peer in the U.S., and his bounce was as remarkable as his skill. He set himself no less a task than to sculpt "a plastic history of my time," and the hundreds of notables who sat for him ranged from Joseph Conrad to Frank Sinatra, from Gandhi to Mussolini. A little more than a year ago, at 68, bush-bearded Jo Davidson journeyed to Israel and found inspiration for some of his best busts. The new nation, he said, "confirmed my belief that life is eternal. It was like a phoenix rising...
...instant family manuscripts were looked into. She, her husband, her son and her lawyers all spelled it 'Dolley.' It appears that way in the original text of legal documents, but is commonly changed to 'Dolly' in copies made by clerks.

Father Anthony J. Lauck, 43, presented a statue as simple and serene as Painter Lebrun's canvas was noisy. It was a semi-abstract study of a Monk at Prayer, showing hands clasped and face upraised, chiseled out of rough grey limestone. Sculptor Lauck took several months to turn it out; his other duties keep him from working full-time with hammer & chisel. But he has been chipping away, off & on, for 20 years, and he has studied with such famed sculptors as Ivan Mestrovic and Carl Milles. Today Lauck exhibits his peaceful religious statues from time to time...
From Tigers to Torsos. Up to 1905, Sculptor Matisse is reasonably realistic and plainly the student of Rodin. There is a precise, crouched Tiger done in tense, slashing planes, a half-sized Slave, weary and hangdog. His women are more expressionistic, seem more like mere sketches for future work. His nude Madeleine, Nude Leaning on the Hands and Reclining Nude in Chemise are roughly scooped out to emphasize a side-slung hip, the languid sag of a relaxed body...
