...with those exceptions, the standout pictures were not conservative works. Biggest, and in some ways best, painting in the show was a tumultuous Wild Animal Hunt by Bernard Lorjou, who, at 40, is considered a promising "young" painter in France and has never exhibited in the U.S. To some mid-20th Century eyes, Lorjou's Hunt might look like a wild burlesque of one by Delacroix.

When stimulated, the phrenic nerve makes the diaphragm contract, causing abdominal breathing. Why is it not possible, Dr. Stanley J. Sarnoff asked himself, to stimulate the nerve rhythmically, perhaps electrically, to provide artificial respiration for patients whose breathing apparatus has been upset...
