...Plasticism. British Painter Ben Nicholson made a pilgrimage to Mondrian's quiet, immaculate Paris studio overlooking the Gare Montparnasse railroad tracks, likened it to "one of those hermit's caves where lions used to go to have thorns taken out of their paws." U.S. Sculptor Alexander Calder saw the bright rectangles on Mondrian's walls, went home, set the cubes in motion by creating his first mobile. Now, 13 years after Mondrian's death (in Manhattan, at 72), his recognition is reaching new heights. Paris, which had never seen a one-man Mondrian show, this spring...
...Sculptor Naum Gabo, a near neigh bor of Breuer's in Connecticut, the Bijenkorf commission was the dream of a lifetime.

Last week a one-man show of 30 of his wood, stone and bronze pieces opened at Manhattan's Duveen-Graham gallery. By late afternoon a long line of visitors stretched in front of the gallery, patiently waiting their turn to see what was inside...
...Ruth in lithium stone, a deeply sensual, semi-abstract Reflection in pink alabaster. In bronze, he achieved a rare sense of movement with his Dancing Mother. Happy Baby and Unicyclist. Whimsical and witty, all had the vigor and balance of circus performers; each in its own way celebrated Sculptor Gross's feeling for the beauty and joy of the human body...
