Convictions. Last year, a group of more than 80 impressionist and post-impressionist works from the Hermitage and Pushkin collections traveled to Holland's Kroller-Muller Museum. On April 2 a smaller version of that show with a few additions-41 paintings in all-opens at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., before going to New York's M. Knoedler & Co., Inc. in May. It is an event not only for the National Gallery but also for Knoedler's, whose chairman, Occidental Petroleum's Armand Hammer (TIME, Jan. 29) was instrumental in persuading the Soviet government...
...possible solution to the dilemma would be an international fund to enable each country to protect its treasures, and then a systematic, international sharing-on a long-loan basis -or swapping, so each country could broaden its collections. Italy, for example, could swap a vase for a French impressionist painting. Failing that, museums must become more scrupulous. A group of museums in the U.S. has already taken the first significant step. In recent years policy statements have been issued by the Field Museum, the University Museum in Carbondale, Ill., the University Museum in Pennsylvania and all the collections of Harvard...
Robinson originally considered himself miscast as a criminal, and in a way he was right. He was a pillar of Beverly Hills' genteel society, a philanthropist who supported and worked for dozens of causes. He played the harp, amassed an immense collection of impressionist art and was a student of eight languages.

But he married again and went back to work despite ill health. Bearded, gray...
...AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS by Donelson F. Hoopes. 159 pages. Watson-Guptill. $25. The U.S. is currently revaluing upward much of its own past painting. In this book a young art historian discovers that Impressionism itself was not just a Parisian invention but was struggling to be born in America at the same time as in France. Hoopes tends to claim as an impressionist anybody-from Inness to Glackens-who did not paint in a strictly academic manner, but the book will introduce the fine but neglected works of such painters as John Henry Twachtman and Abbott Thayer...
Judy Dater was another device to multiply her images: a mirror. In the same way that the Impressionist tradition would stand a girl at the her in front of a mirror, Dater articulates the elements of reflections by photographing a seated, nude girl leaning against a mirror. Whether prostitute or dance-hall girl, she appears in triplicate with her choler and black stockings. We see her, fine, bony features straight-on and in profile, her legs bent to the right and to the left--symmetrically reposed--and openly exposed in the upper righthand corner. An umbrella in the lower right...
