...things as the sensation of the wind blowing on a hill, without necessarily showing either wind or hill. Chicago was as unconvinced by Dove's works as Manhattan had been a few weeks earlier. ("They were over the heads of the people," admitted pioneer Art Dealer-Photographer Alfred Stieglitz.) Broke but not discouraged, Dove borrowed the train fare back to New York...
Much as Maine Painter John Marin (another Stieglitz protege) chose the sky as his province, Dove made the earth and sea his domain. To get closer to both, he moved out of Manhattan, where he had been a successful illustrator, and bought a farm in Westport, Conn., began raising chickens. When that venture failed, he tried his hand at being a lobsterman. Art, he decided, should not depend so much on natural forms as on substituting equivalent images for them. He was searching for a means of expression that would not depend on representation, that "should have order, size, intensity...
...Says Dr. Stieglitz: "Health is a lot more than the absence of disease. Pediatrics has been making healthy children healthier. Geriatrics could do the same.

We are coming to a stage where keeping these people alive will jeopardize the lives of those fit to survive...

You know he has a one-track mind, and in two years he'll face the bugbear of retirement. Do you wait until...
...Chair. For all the attention that aging and the aged got last week at Ann Arbor, Cowdry, Stieglitz & Co. were disappointed with the conference's final results. They had hoped that the seminar on geriatric medicine would make a flat recommendation that medical schools set up professorships in geriatrics, thus help their branch of medicine to become a distinct and recognized specialty. But the dead hand of custom-plus the legitimate arguments of some experts anxious not to isolate treatment of the aged from general medicine-denied them this prize. Instead, they won a recommendation that medical schools give...
