This month Mabe ventured into the European arena and walked off with top honors at Paris' first biennial (for painters under 35): the Prix Braun for the best "painter in oils" and a six months' scholarship for study in Paris. Manabu Mabe, a Japanese-born farm hand who had sold only one painting in his life (for $12 to a friend), found himself with a sellout show in Rio de Janeiro; dealers from Caracas, Paris, New York and Rome were plying him with...
