The article discusses the Juan Gris exhibition at New York City's museum of modern art. The earliest painting in the show is a still life and reveals the cezanne link more clearly than the later cubism of Gris or anyone else. A kettle, a pot, a cup and a book are grouped at the edge of a table and all display the geometrical basis the older artist saw in mountains, apples, bathers and country architecture. Almost at once, though, other things begin happening in Gris's work and it seems increasingly unlikely, as the show proceeds, that cubism was such a hot name after all.

This article focuses on Jack Levin and his paintings. Levine's most monumental painting is "The Trial," in the Art institute of Chicago, done five years ago. The picture is hung next to Winslow Homer's magnificent "Herring Net" and the juxta- position suggests an American antecedent for the white writing. "Election Night," in the Modern, uses Levine's almost patented come pressed space to assemble victorious politicos whooping it up surrounded by a statuesque cigarette girl, a beithop and an embracing couple.

The article evaluates the paintings by Morris Graves at Chicago's firewater-Hardin gallery. It is found that once again a reasonable reaction is compounded of enchantment with that line and irritation at the Chu Chin Chow approach his work calls forth in his admirers. But even if he sets it up himself, an artist cannot be held responsible for the public legend that grows like barnacles on certain artists' work. Graves' legend is Zen, of which he seems to be a devout adherent. If, this doesn't make his work better or more significant, it doesn't either make it worse and any less worthy of our attention.
