Albert Bacon Fall, 65, had the more startling career and faces the more dismal future. From a cattle prospector he rose to be Secretary of the Interior under President Harding. Born in Kentucky, he spent most of his youth in the saddle in the territory of New Mexico. Then he plunged into law and politics. Reward came. He was elected the first U. S. Senator from New Mexico.

Heads in which a cone is buried; elongated muscles and loins growing up through the paint in mystery like weeds or flowers; skies that break, trees that kneel, faces and hands and walls that tilt with some interior volition- these he painted.
