...sense, meaning that if we don't learn to adapt ourselves to the modern situation now, it's the end-and the artist must show us the way." The star and theme setter of the art exhibit, appropriately enough, is that grand old Russian revolutionary and pioneer sculptor of the 1920s, Naum Gabo, 77, with 28 constructions on display. Though the original idea for the festival was Foss's, the planning and expenses are being borne by a dozen different local and state institutions (even Buffalo's bantam-sized 7,800-student state college...
...DOCUMENTARY: In Kienholz on Exhibit, by June Steel, of U.C.L.A., the camera roams for a leisurely 21 minutes over an exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum by Sculptor Edward Kienholz (TIME, April 8, 1966).

The painter, sculptor and jeweler daringly studied and depicted muscles and organs of skinned cadavers in an era when the church still frowned on dissection. His Battle of Naked Men is essentially a swashbuckling anatomy lesson, with its mythological figures ingeniously posed to show off the male body in as many positions as possible. There is no question that Pollaiuolo, one of the earliest artists to try his hand at engraving, considered the finished work extraordinary. It was the first print...
