Portly, jovial Alexander Brook, 41, took the news of his prize calmly. He has been giving shows, winning medals, selling pictures to museums for 17 years. For even longer he has been married to sharp-nosed, sharp-witted Caricaturist Peggy Bacon. Artist Brook painted Georgia Jungle on a trip to Savannah last winter, finished it in three or four days. At Los Angeles, where he is teaching at the Otis Art Institute, Painter Brook told an interviewer last week: "To me it was a sad scene, and I guess I like sad things. . . . What does anyone do with...
London's Catholic Herald rounded up some wartime Catholic views. Eric Gill, scraggle-bearded author-artist who wears a monk's gown, urged a quick peace, arguing that the Allied war aims are: continuation of Versailles policies, contraceptive control of the German population, making the world safe for Big Business. Letitia Fairfield, sister of Novelist Rebecca West: "The Catholic press will cut no ice morally so long as they make persecutions of the church the test of right and wrong in international affairs." Author George Glasgow: "Stemming atheistic bolshevism and bringing Europe back to Almighty God will...
...records the relativity density and thickness of the materials used by an artist and often reveals under-painting and preparatory workmanship which is not visible on the surface of a painting.

...comic-strip may seem a bit too close to the odor of the breakfast table to be worth serious consideration. The reader who finds a vicarious thrill in pouncing upon "Terry and the Pirates" each morning is apt to overlook the genuine skill of the artist, Milt Caniff, in favor of a few well-turned curves on the body of the Dragon Lady. Each section of Canift's daily feature contains a carefully planned composition, both in regard to figure placement and value rendition. His work is characterized by the decisive manner in which he manipulates lights and darks...
Another example of the newspaper artist at a high peak of excellence is Clifford McBride, creator of "Napoleon and Uncle Elby." His ability to express real with by men as of the drawings themselves, together with his subtle control over line in order to bring out character, can be equaled by no other artist in this particular field. It is not my intention to establish these men as great artists; they are, however, worth special notice because they are craftsmen who can be placed in a category well above that of the simple illustrator. It is well to remember...
