...national invitational exhibition contained 53 paintings and 15 pieces of sculpture. Of the paintings only a handful--such as Corrado Marca-Relli's "The Seeker" and Adja Yunkers' "Composition II"--were unworthy choices. Jack Levine's "The Judge" (see cut at right) won the Grand Prize It is indeed a masterly work, executed in splotches of restrained browns and dull white that take shape only at a distance. Other exceptional works were George Grosz's "Night-mare," Mitchell Siporin's "The Gallery," and Max Weber's "Flute Player."

For the seeker of the self especially, Being may be realized only in terms of Becoming, not in the present. The present, I think, is merely the synopsis of the past and future, the elusive transition from the "has been" to the "not yet." The essence of the self is its very ability to project itself, to plan, to become. Being always includes Becoming, and the search for reality must embrace the future and find its way through...
