...strange and polychromic group of idealists, white, black and brown, gathered last week on the southern shore of Nyasaland's windy and beautiful Lake Nyasa. From every corner of east and central Africa, by every means of transportation, they traveled to a wooded rise perched above the surf-tossed shores where lions and gazelles had roamed only a few weeks before. With them they brought an idea that they hope will change all Africa into a land without racial barriers or bitterness...

...world of the Pacific Northwest's mystic Morris Graves is seen in low-keyed colors: dark browns, misty greys, the glint of surf. Done with techniques heavily influenced by the Orient, his work reveals a world of nature, ranging from joyous pines to blind and wounded birds, that is at once familiar and yet hauntingly mysterious. His current retrospective exhibition of 94 paintings and drawings at Manhattan's Whitney Museum shows what an increasing number of collectors and critics have come to realize: Painter Graves at 45 has developed one of the most successful, personalized idioms...
