...portrait of Mexico's President Adolfo López Mateos, TIME turned to one of Mexico's leading artists, Rufino Tamayo. A stout antiCommunist, Tamayo has long been frozen out of the bread-and-butter work of decorating the public buildings of his native land by the Communist clique of muralists headed by David Siqueiros and the late Diego Rivera. As a result, he leads the life of a wandering expatriate, painted this week's cover in Paris. He recently finished another Paris commission-a mural depicting Prometheus bringing heavenly fire to men, in the newly opened...
...after studying at Columbia and Yale. Married to a Washington, D.C. businessman, Marcia fell in love with Mexico on a vacation trip, persuaded her husband to go into business there as a mining engineer. She soon managed to become a friend of such conflicting personalities as Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, David Siqueiros. Her splashy, arresting style is strong on color and well suited to her subject matter, e.g., a moody painting of Chapultepec Park's beer garden at closing time. Marx will show her works in Dallas and Houston in the spring, have her second baby in June...
...ranging lone wolf of Mexican art, Painter Rufino Tamayo, his country's greatest modernist, has never hesitated to deliver outspoken blasts at Marxism. In Mexico's Red-dominated art world, this earned him some formidable foes; chief among them, naturalistic Muralist Diego Rivera. Just as they, clashed over politics, Communist Rivera and Tamayo, who wears no political label, disagreed about art: Tamayo shied away from Rivera's hard-lined propagandist works, and Rivera had no love for Tamayo's warm-toned semiabstractions. For 20 years the two artists have exchanged few kind words. Last week Tamayo...
...Pulitzer, who began collecting as a Harvard undergraduate when he acquired Modigliani's Elvira Resting at a Table, is entitled, after twenty years, to some mistakes. Villon's portrait of the collector and Tamayo's study of Mrs. Pulitzer, tressingly poor examples of the work of gifted commissioned rather than chosen, are both discollector and Tamayo's study of Mrs. Pulitzer, tressingly poor examples of the work of gifted commissioned rather than chosen, are both dispainters. Andre Beaudin's The Steeplechase, almost commercial in its obvious mannerisms, seems enigmatically out of place...
...both. Except for an Ingres and Van Gogh drawing, a Cézanne oil and a few other late igth century works, the collection consists entirely of contemporary art, ranging from Afro to Vuillard, and including Picasso, Rouault. Matisse, Klee, Braque, MirÓ, Villon, Bonnard, Tamayo. Elvira and another early buy, Max Beckmann's Zeretelli (opposite), are typical of the individual pictorial styles and expressiveness that caught Pulitzer's eye. One of the best painters to come out of Germany in this century, Beckmann did this perceptive portrait of the ballet dancer-prince in 1927 as part...
