The article discusses various issues related to arts in the U.S. as of May 1952. It mentions the cover of the "American Artist" magazine for the month of May, which features the unglazed ceramic Troubadors. According to the author, one of the marked trends in the arts sector is the preliminary flash thinking on canvas resulting in freshness without finish. The development of the know-nothing movement in the industry is also discussed, which is marked by the failure by some artists to do some heavy thinking.
