FRENCH DRAWINGS by Maurice Serullaz. 232 pages. New York Graphic Society. $37.50. An engaging trip through 19th century France as seen by artists from Prud'hon to Daumier. The book includes three drawings by Novelist Victor Hugo, who painted as fast and furiously as he wrote- leaving behind about 450 pictures when he died. Hugo's riverscape is delicate and brooding, his ample nude is created with a few bold strokes. Other subjects range from classical to genre, and, typically, the plates begin with a love scene and end with a disputation between doctors as death steals away...
...style in graphics went on display last week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art with 48 prints by 15 artists. In the opinion of the museum's print director, William Lieberman, the pioneer of the movement is Robert Rauschenberg, who in 1964 created a print called Shades, which was, in effect, an art-toy-graphic.

Finally, he illuminated the whole thing with a light bulb. The result: a movable...
Will Eisner, The Spirit's creator, was one of the best of the comic book artists of the '30's and '40's.

Eisner's strip was filled with horrifying close-ups, weird shadows, and strange angles. Jules Feiffer claims that The Spirit's world looked "more real than the world of other comic book men because it looked that much more like a movie...
With Surveyor's graphic pictures and clear telemetry before them, scientists were able to draw their firmest conclusions yet about the lunar terrain. At a Washington press conference, they announced that the moon's surface pre sented no great obstacles to a manned lunar landing; its consistency is almost earthlike, and its bearing strength -about 5 Ibs. per sq. in.-is more than enough to support the weight of Apollo's Lunar Excursion Module. "In one sentence," said JPL Project Scientist Leonard Jaffe, "the moon surface looks like a soil, not very hard, with rocks and clods...
...magazine publishers. Petersen's Motor Trend (monthly circ. 500,000) is not far behind, with 9.02 readers per copy. A sort of high-power consumer magazine, it "is for the average fellow with an above-average interest in autos," says Petersen. Car Craft, Rod & Custom, and Sports Car Graphic cover the other auto buffs Petersen could think...
