...turn into a bustling summer resort. Last week, in a special tribute to Homer on the soth anniversary of his death, the Portland Museum of Art put on an exhibition of a highly personal sort. There were only three of the artist's oils, only eight of his watercolors; but there were plenty of reminders of the man himself. From his nephew's widow came three dolls, one suspended from a garter, that Homer used as models. There were his old watercolor brushes, a newly discovered sketch book, a rumpled storm cap, a fishing net he used...
...Tacoma's Art League Gallery, a gaunt, bearded man stared hard at a Morris Graves watercolor called Hawk, then furiously snatched it from the wall and smashed the glass against a radiator. The gallery attendant ran out of her office just in time to see him tear the painting out of the shattered frame and deliberately rip it in two.

Died. Albert Namatjira, 57, big-boned aboriginal artist who at 31 began painting Western-style watercolor landscapes in the Australian wilds, which became highly popular in civilized Australia; of a heart attack; in Alice Springs, Australia. Namatjira (Flying Ant) used his fame to press for equal rights for his outcast fellow aborigines, but he enjoyed many of their tribal ways, basked in the adulation of some 60 relatives among whom he freely divided his income, finally won full citizenship and with it the right to buy liquor, which he hauled out to his friends for some wild times, ended...
...Cohn's Quotations in Percussion, Michael Colgrass' Three Brothers. The most interesting was the Harrison piece, which laid down a hauntingly languorous theme on the ocarina, then echoed itself in a series of guitar, xylophone and muted cowbell flights as vaporous and softly glowing as a Japanese watercolor. Cohn's Quotations, on the other hand, utilized 103 instruments (including the exposed strings of a grand piano, which one player walloped with a lamb's-wool-covered drumstick) to achieve frequent climaxes of crashing, ear-numbing virtuosity. But the composition's most effective moments were also...
...fact that Corinth's instincts were always poetic makes his flaw particularly lamentable. Shimizu might take his cue. When Corinth does a watercolor like The Beautiful Imperia, a loose wash of lucid color, he arrives at a quality which most of his Teutonic contemporaries generally lack--a naive loveliness, (the word used wholly in complimentary fashion.). The same goes for Susanna and the Elders or Imperial Palace. But when he draws, or tries to draw, his linear Knight, the result is nothing short of inexcusable...
