...ranging lone wolf of Mexican art, Painter Rufino Tamayo, his country's greatest modernist, has never hesitated to deliver outspoken blasts at Marxism. In Mexico's Red-dominated art world, this earned him some formidable foes; chief among them, naturalistic Muralist Diego Rivera. Just as they, clashed over politics, Communist Rivera and Tamayo, who wears no political label, disagreed about art: Tamayo shied away from Rivera's hard-lined propagandist works, and Rivera had no love for Tamayo's warm-toned semiabstractions. For 20 years the two artists have exchanged few kind words. Last week Tamayo...

Russian-born Author Ayn (rhymes with mine) Rand, 52, left the Soviet Union for the U.S. in 1926, rehearsed for this weird performance with The Fountainhead (1943), in which she rhapsodized the lone genius and his fight against the common herd. She deserves credit at least for imagination; unfortunately, it is tied to ludicrous naiveté. There could have been something exhilarating about the capitalists' revolt-except for the fact that what Author Rand presents is not so much capitalism as its hideous caricature.
