...Painter Morris Broderson knows more than most men about living out life alone: he has the private vision of one who was born deaf. In the past few years, his extraordinary talent has earned him recognition around his native Los Angeles; now he has been added to the prestigious stable of the Downtown Gallery, which represents such noted older artists as Ben Shahn, Abraham Rattner, Stuart Davis, William Zorach and Georgia O'Keeffe. Dealer Edith Halpert introduces her new artist with a ten-year retrospective, borrowed mostly from the collections of such varied celebrities as Joseph Hirshhorn and Actor...

But while the old earwig is mumbling about legal problems, K. sneaks off with his chambermaid (Romy Schneider), a sexy witch with webbed fingers who takes him for a tumble in a pile of old legal papers...
...least typically Spanish work is that of Juan van der Hamen y León, whose father was a Flemish painter in Madrid. Completely Flemish in technique and approach, Van der Hamen had a tremendous influence in forming the school of Spanish still-life painting that later developed with Meléndez, De Loarte and even Goya. After the show closes in Indianapolis in late March, it will go to the Museum of Art of the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence for a month, and then be dispersed again to its scattered owners...
