...only five seniors on the squad, the youthful group (ten juniors 15 sophomores) does not lack a veteran core from last year's first eight. Returning lettermen include Captain and Senior Nick Bancroft, who rowed six last year; Senior Doug Robertson (four); Senior Spencer Bordon, (two); and Juniors Harry Pollock (seven) and Mike Dennis (stroke...
Brooks's first abstractions were linear affairs, filled with curvy arabesques and an occasional dribble like those of his friend Jackson Pollock. He tried titling them by number, then by letter, now puts nonsense syllables together to make names. Nado, one of his more recent paintings, shows his increased attention to straight lines that act both as a "container and as a dispersing agent." These lines serve not so much to limit areas of what he calls his "funny-paper colors" as to interrupt the contours of the color areas and to stimulate...
Miro. Dali. Giacometti. Lipchitz. Pollock, and many other famous names of modern art share a common detail of biography: at one time or another they worked at Atelier 17, a studio that opened in 1927 at 17 rue Campagne-Premiere in Paris. Masters though they were, they had things to learn from the Englishman who founded Atelier 17 and still presides over it at another address: Stanley William Hayter. superb technician of the graphic arts and greatest innovator of modern etching. Last week in Manhattan, the AAA Gallery was showing Atelier 17 prints by Hayter and other artists...

Later, Adolph Gottlieb and Sculptor David Hare joined the list. Kootz refused to take Pollock, and when he began adding such foreign names as Soulages and Mathieu to his gallery (he has long been Picasso's U.S. dealer), some of his more American-minded artists left. But it is a fact that Kootz has all he can handle with the 15 artists he has, including...
...manufacturer who also turned to writing about art, has had in some ways an even more spectacular career. Janis is not known among his colleagues as a discoverer, but he has a good eye for properties that others have already started on their way. It was to Janis that Pollock finally went, and so did Gottlieb, Motherwell and Willem de Kooning. Last week Janis was the cause of a good deal of speculation with his big new show of "pop art." Instead of the masters of abstractionism, he has gooey cakes of painted plaster by Claes Oldenburg, blown-up comic...
