...week at Manhattan's Walker Galleries six new paintings and half-a-dozen drawings by Curry encouraged head-shaking by detractors. The healthy springiness and sweep of the artist's well-known Kansas pictures appeared only in an oil-and-tempera panel of a prancing, black Percheron stallion painted at the Wisconsin stock show a year ago. A landscape View of Madison painted last spring had an unaccustomed air of old-fashioned dewiness. A still life, Spring Flowers, had an even stranger touch of Renoir. For action subjects the artist had apparently confined himself to football games...
...poet and prophet is tomahawk-faced Robinson Jeffers, almost as much famed in the U. S. for doing his writing in a stone tower, built by himself, over-looking California's Carmel Bay, as for his violent free-verse narratives and black-diamond lyrics in Tamar, Roan Stallion, The Women at Point Sur, Cawdor, et al.

Kingsley Porter, and a bronze statuette of a champion stallion from Herbert Haseltine, the sculptor...
...same mother but different fathers are half-brothers or half-sisters. Example: Petee Wrack and Gallant Fox. Two horses with different mothers but the same father are "by the same sire." Example: Twenty Grand and Bold Venture. Because a brood mare is bred once a year, and a stallion many times, the thoroughbred strain is considered to be, by most thoughtful breeders, a matriarchy. Another popular misconception regarding the thoroughbred horse is that all thoroughbred horses are race horses. Today thoroughbred blood is being used everywhere by private and commercial breeders, including the United States Remount, to breed horses...
