...collection 120 paintings, 200 drawings and twelve sculptures by fellow Spanish moderns to hang in the quaint quarters at Cuenca. After retiring from business in 1959, Zóbel looked about Spain for a place to lodge his collection, which included, aside from his works by Goya, Velásquez and El Greco, post-Picasso Spanish painters of promise. An abstractionist named Gustavo Torner, now co-director of the museum, persuaded him to try Cuenca, where a grateful mayor was happy to find someone ready to rent the hanging houses already undergoing exterior repairs...
...cloth-coated walls, the new museum displays Ferré's 400-work, $3,000,000 collection. There are paintings by Velásquez, Gainsborough, Reynolds and Vandyke, but Ferré preferred gems to giants-and purchased excellent examples of pre-Raphaelite and Italian baroque painters long held unfashionable. "We have minor masters rather than poor paintings by the big masters," he says. But the museum is not intended only as a repository. To stimulate Puerto Rican art, there are exhibited 150 paintings made on the island itself...

...form of dwarfism found by Dr. McKusick among the Amish in more than a dozen communities. It is a new kind of genetic defect. Doctors who earlier noticed cases of this kind of dwarfism among the Amish mistook it for achondroplasia, a form made familiar by Velásquez's paintings of dwarfs as court jesters, with short arms and legs, a large head and a "scooped-out" nose. But Dr. McKusick's team found significant differences. These Amish dwarfs do not have big heads or misshapen noses. Aside from their short arms and legs (from a defect...
SPAIN. The pavilion is the most beautiful at the fair, suggests the courtyards of Castile and the filigreed palaces of Andalusia. To it, Spain brought the best she has: priceless paintings by Goya, El Greco, Zurburán and Velásquez, three prize Picassos, as well as folk dancers who perform in the gardens, bullfight movies and three fine restaurants...
