Much more popular awards were the second and third prizes to U. S. Artists John Steuart Curry and Henry Varnum Poor. Chunky, corn-fed John Steuart Curry is Kansas' gift to the arts (TIME, April 10).

Coleman whose Speakeasy, painted with bright, shallow verve, was bought, died last month. The other young men: Kansan John Steuart Curry, cheerfully indigent, who looks like a citified farmer, has been traveling with Ringling Brothers Circus. Arnold Blanch, whose wife Lucille is as good a painter as he, lives seriously in the Woodstock, N. Y. artist colony. Unmarried Francis Speight teaches at the Pennsylvania Academy.
