...booth at nearby Marche-les- Dames. Instead, with an impulse toward secrecy, he drove a long way to the chateau of Count Anton de Wiart, and from there telephoned the royal palace at Brussels. The two court officials who got the message drove out to Marche-les-Dames to search for the King. It was not until 2 a. m. that the searchers found him. Meanwhile three conflicting stories had been given to the Press: 1) an automobile accident had detained Albert; 2) an automobile accident had killed him; 3) his body had been found floating in the Meuse River...

The obvious exaggeration and distortion, which appear to be a part of the search for this inner idea, have, of course, had their influence on certain phases of modern sculpture and even painting; the remarkably simplified planes and contours, the stylized treatment of details, have had probably a more deep and fruitful influence on all contemporary sculpture...
