...nation that has just launched the first satellite, and yet they have sent us an exhibition 50 years old." Said a gallery manager: "It's like opening up the pages of an issue of Studio from the Edwardian era." The occasion was the first exhibition of Soviet graphic art in London since the honeymoon days of World War II. After critics had a good look at the 130 works by 14 artists, picked by the Union of Artists of the U.S.S.R., the consensus was: considerable competence, little fire. "There is no hint here," said the Times, "of a Bakst...
...York born Ralph Rosenborg, whose oils and watercolors accompany Kollwitz's graphic work at the Gropper, pursues art with precisely this aesthetic criterion in mind. A newcomer to the Cambridge scene, Rosenborg's work has never come closer than Provincetown despite some three hundred exhibitions both in this country and abroad. Displayed here, to the delightful if somewhat dubious accompaniment of a console offering Rossini's Barber of Seville at one moment and Brahms' Hungarian Rhapsodies the next, these unpretentious canvases gain much from understatement...
...Fishing. But the Syrians, as if to dramatize their geographic importance in the most barbaric and graphic way, let half a train shipment of 1,000 Iraqi sheep die on the way to Beirut by simply refusing them water.

...Henceforth we shall see who is ruling this country." Two weeks later, his government ordered the deportation of three men who displeased Nkrumah. One was Nkrumah's erstwhile idolatrous biographer, Journalist Bankole Timothy, who had been taking jabs at the Premier in Accra's British-owned Daily Graphic. Since Timothy was born in Sierra Leone, it was possible to expel him. The Minister of Information refused to specify the charges against the other two, Ashanti leaders of the Moslem Association Party, "since then they could challenge them." When they appealed to the courts to prevent their deportation, Nkrumah...
Somehow McEwen had talked London's National Gallery, Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, Paris' Louvre and other museums into parting with 200 treasures-Rembrandts, Cezannes, Picassos, etc.-for a Rhodesian show. The 200 oils and more than that number of graphic art pieces were flown across the equator in five well-packed planeloads. Said McEwen: "It is unlikely that such a show will ever be seen again in Africa because of the difficulties and the reluctance of overseas galleries to allow valuable works of art to travel so far afield...
