NORA ORIOLI-D'Arcy, 1091 Madison Ave. at 82nd. Although she is known in her native Italy as a social realist, Nora Orioli seems more a pleasant genre painter, to judge from these picaresque and pastoral scenes that spring from lean, refracted layers of gloomy paint covered with glaze. Through...
EUGENIE BAIZERMAN-Krasner, 1061 Madison Ave. at 80th. Unlike her husband, the late sculptor Saul Baizerman, Eugenie Baizerman was unrecognized during her lifetime; when she died in 1949, not one of her works had been sold. Exhibitions since then reveal a painter who persistently stuck to the pursuit of color. In 35 oils, watercolors and drawings ranging from 1927 to 1949. her swirling brush paints up an explosion of autumn hues infused with light that magically illumines human figures. Through...
ALFRED MAURER and MARSDEN HARTLEY-Babcock, 805 Madison Ave. at 68th.

Half Disestablished. What gives the Tate its latter-day prestige is Director Rothenstein, 62, an English painter's son who once taught art history at the University of Kentucky and the University of Pittsburgh. He knocked the stuffiness out of the museum, installed single-line hanging instead of stacking paintings up the walls the old-fashioned way, and made the rooms flow in chronological order. He vastly enlarged the U.S. collection because U.S. art "was seriously underestimated abroad." His great exhibitions are the talk of London: the 1963 survey of Australian art from aborigines to Sidney Nolan...
...Worry. It is all great fun. As there should be, there is a lot about Mummy, who is a worrying sort, and Daddy, who is not. Daddy is a painter, and if the reader finds him not so delightful as his daughter does, that, too, is as it should be. No one could. And surely all hearts will echo to the anti-school manifesto Antonia puts in her private book (known to this precocious moppet as her "escapism book"): "IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S ALL A BIG NIDDLE...
