Warm Embrace. The only topnotch painter shown at peak performance was Buffalo's Charles Burchfield, who had somehow managed to slip a watercolor into an exhibition of oils. His Dark Ravine was menacing as an abyss by Fuseli, but richer, and lacking all pretension...

Kitchens' switch to nudes, said the London Sunday Times, "has wrought a double change in his pictures, making them both richer in color and broader in construction...
Shaw had an inspired instinct for success; innate prudence combined shrewdly with presumption in getting it. Emigration to a duller and richer civilization than his own he saw was the only safe thing for a man who found destructiveness so exhilarating.

At his two stud farms in France, Boussac breeds top race horses by mating successful stallions (like Tourbillon) with proven brood mares (like Astronomie). He has also tried some daring experiments in inbreeding. One was to mate a full brother and sister. The result was Coronation, one of the meanest-tempered horses ever to kick a groom, but winner of last...
