...pieces of sculpture by Constantin Brancusi, one of which is a famous "Flight of the Bird," should be among the most interesting features of the exhibit. In the program note for the show there is the following comment on this eminent sculptor: "An artist of enormous technical knowledge he has experimented, refined, synthesized, and perfected until his forms are the inevitable essentials of his model, expressed in media whose possibilities he has so completely explored."

For the Flonzaleys are as unrelated as most teams which have a single name.* There was no Mr. Flonzaley who fathered them all. There was instead a Swiss banker, Edward J. deCoppet, who wanted chamber music in the U. S. He appointed Violinist Alfred Pochon to establish a string quartet, and he named it after his Swiss villa, Flonzaley, which translated means "brooklet...
