Because France has won the last four races, one of her sons is confidently expected to repeat this year. Chief French hopes are Georges Speicher, last year's winner who has enough spare breath during the race for a steady stream of quips and japes; Roger Lapébie. bashful young Bordelais who won seven major events in 1933; Antonin Magne, laconic Auvergnat farmer who is called "The eternal runner-up''; Charles Pélissier, cameo-profiled idol of schoolboys. Dashing, excitable captain of this year's French team, Pelissier has won important races...
Size was the big thing about the Municipal Show. In 33 multicolored galleries were decently spaced 1,250 exhibits by some 450 artists whose styles ranged from the clatter of a Biberman to the dignified craft of a Watrous. Included were such familiar U. S. names as Sterne, Burchfield, Speicher, Hopper, O'Keeffe, Jo Davidson (who did a special LaGuardia bust) Benianimo Bufano, Mahonri Young...
Highlight of the exhibition was a cool grey-green canvas, square at the end of the gallery, called Summer Wind. Many critics hailed it as the most effective nude of the season, not excluding Eugene Speicher's magnificently painted figures at the Rehn Galleries (TIME, Jan. 22).

With his feet firmly on the ancient tradition of graphic arts, Artist Speicher has grown firmer in his draughtsmanship, more sure of what he wants to say with each passing year. In 1929 he seemed an able, uninspired follower of the late great George Wesley Bellows, without the latter's vivid interest in living problems. In 1934, as in 1929, Eugene Speicher remains wrapped in the penciled brows of his statuesque beauties, though technically...
Hundreds of U. S. painters strove for the 30 open places. For days the U. S. committee of selection-Artists Randall Davey, Jonas Lie, Eugene Speicher. Ernest Blumenschein, Charles Rosen-sat in a bleak gallery while porters propped up more than 1,000 paintings before them. The 30 that were chosen took their places among the 466 that were invited to be judged by an international committee...
