...strangest thing was Marchand's color. The paintings in his previous exhibition (TIME, May 26, 1947) had reflected the cool hues of the Burgundy forest. Lately Marchand, like Van Gogh before him, had made a pilgrimage to Arles and developed a new palette there. Reds, phosphorescent greens and blues, and jet black were his standbys now. Some of his pictures looked like the negatives of color photos, with red skies, blue suns, green sand and black and green nudes. "Color doesn't interest me," he said flatly. "I am trying to extract light from all objects...
...girl-was a vivid, if highly unpleasant, mixture of lust and righteous rage. At the Sea a Girl was a pompously titled new departure for Henry Koerner, one of the country's most promising young painters. With even more ambiguous symbolism than that which characterized his last exhibition (TIME, Feb. 21), Koerner had painted a girl hauled from the ocean while an uncurious crowd fished from the dock above. Koerner's oil was as stark as a tabloid photo, and more disturbing. Was the Girl a successful channel swimmer, or an unsuccessful suicide? The painting offered no clue...
...major U.S. symphony orchestra. Since September, he has also been one of the busiest. Last month, in addition to rehearsing long hours with his new orchestra, he composed a Concerto for Toys and Orchestra, then flew to New York and recorded it. On the side, he found time to inaugurate a competition in composition and another in instrument playing for pupils in the Dallas public schools. And one night, with visiting Conductor Sir Thomas Beecham on the podium, he sat down at the piano and gave a workmanlike performance of Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 1. Dallas music lovers...
...conductor. Though there is an impressive "Founded in 1901" at the top of its programs, the present orchestra is really only five years old: in 1945, after a wartime hiatus, Hungarian-born Antal Dorati (now conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony) reorganized it and made it for the first time a competent, nationally respected organization. Hendl has continued Dorati's tradition of introducing new works. With Rudolf Firkusny at the piano last month, he conducted the orchestra in the world premiere of Bohuslav Martinu's Piano Concerto No. j. This week, in an all-Strauss program, he presented...
...Nation, in effect, charged that the Saturday Review of Literature was suppressing free opinion. The suppression: the S.R.L.'s refusal to print a letter, signed by 84 poets, critics and others, criticizing two articles the S.R.L. had printed last June about Poet Ezra Pound and the Bollingen Prize (TIME, Aug. 29). The Nation itself printed the letter last week, alongside an article accusing the S.R.L. of everything from "a philistine attack on modern literature" to fascism. (The S.R.L. mildly observed that it had printed about 95 letters in the Bollingen controversy, considered it closed...
