...third part of the complex is an auditorium seating more than 600 for lectures, films, concerts and televised programs. In the past, several major collections (notably the Avery Brundage and the Arensberg collections) have been given to other museums in other cities because the donors felt that their paintings could not have a suitable display space in Los Angeles. Now such space is at hand, and already the Art Museum's board of trustees has voted a $5,000,000 fund-raising program for new acquisitions...
...French modern masters into the U.S. was a huge success. Davies helped build the impressionist collection of Lizzie P. Bliss; Glackens sold Albert C. Barnes on the virtues of the Armory's Cézannes; Kuhn got John Quinn to invest in modern art. Collectors Walter Arensberg and Stephen C. Clark both bought from the show. The Metropolitan Museum of Art became the first U.S. museum to buy a Cézanne; a San Francisco dealer snapped up Duchamp's Nude sight unseen. As a matter of fact, Duchamp and his brother, Jacques Villon, sold everything they...
...Angeles County Museum is the West Coast's largest, but until recently its shortcomings have given Los Angeles a reputation in the art world as the city of lost opportunities. Rich art collectors bypassed the museum in their bequests; in 1951 the famed Arensberg collection of modern paintings was snatched from under its nose by the Philadelphia Museum.

Up on the wall of its softly lighted Spanish Gallery went a handsome new acquisition with a resounding title and glamorous history: Portrait of La Marquesa de Santa Cruz...
...Arensberg, in the title role, survives remarkably well in competition with her less inhibited, almost riotous fellows. Her changing attitudes are clearly delineated, and she inspires sympathy and even love when she is thwarted by scheming conspirators. Earle Edgerton and Margaret Groome, as Sir Fox and Madame Cat, work together hand in glove. Their nonchalance and dastard evil, dispelled at the end when they too become human, are lustily executed. J.D. Shucter as Gepetto the puppetmaker, peers with great authority through horn rims, though his early slapstick might appear a trifle strained. Marc Brugnoni's Sandwich Man is marvelously rakish...
...Monticello and Robert E. Lee's Stratford (Va.) home; of a stroke; in Munich, Germany. Kimball became director when the museum was only partially built, developed it into one of America's best, acquired the Gallatin Collection (e.g., Picasso's Three Musicians), the $2,000,000 Arensberg Collection (e.g., Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase...
