...dramatic lighting that seems to spotlight colorful details like the little nosegay on the staff of Ribera's Saint Joseph (opposite). Landscapes are notably missing: Spanish painters were mostly interested in painting people rather than scenery. But religious subjects, redolent of the mystery and aspiration that typified every Spaniard's day-by-day point of view, abound. Murillo's Christ After the Flagellation (overleaf) has a tragic, mystic quality. On the other hand, Zurbaran's St. Francis Praying, painted around 1650, is a surprisingly sophisticated example of religious preoccupation; St. Francis seems almost like a zealot...
...Worried Official. A number of progressive Spanish Catholics have long suspected that the church's attitude to Protestantism is a major cause of anti-Spanish feeling in the world. One influential Spaniard who feels most strongly on the subject is Spain's Foreign Minister Fernando Maria Castiella y Maiz, 55, a Basque and a close friend of Malaga's reform-minded Bishop Angel Herrera.

In between shows of her soberer artists such as John Hultberg, Paul Jenkins and the Spaniard Tapies, she has turned her gallery over to "happenings" and "environments," once even allowed her entire backyard to be filled with tires in the name of art. She could well be called the bridge between the established abstractionists and the new wave that the Castelli Gallery and later the Green, Stone and Stable galleries have encouraged...

Businessmen have broader horizons, pursue export sales more energetically. A still small but significant factor of change is the Spanish women. More are going to universities than ever before. Man's traditional supremacy no longer goes unquestioned. Says a shrewd Spaniard: "When does a man work best? When he is pushed by women. In Spain, the women are beginning to push the men.'' Still Backward. Occasionally Franco contributes an article on economics to a Madrid journal, signing his pieces "Hispanicus," and he takes full credit for Spain's economic progress. Actually, much of the credit belongs...
