the public discussions with respect to dangers to the world
from atomic fall-out. In general the newspapers have provided
broad reportage of opinions and among Mexico's top acientists
there has also been & publicly expressed split of opinions es
to the dangers from Continued atom testing. The Communist
slanted press vigorously condemns the continued testing, -
DI5GO RIVERA, world famous Mexican muralist end Mexican
Commnist Party member, has announced that he has written
letters to PABLONPICASSO and about ‘three hundred other persons
of world prominenc® in the fields of science and culture,
calling for a united effort to stop nuclear testing.

ACTION TAKEN: None. Public source material.
MEXICAN COMMUNIST PARTY (PCM)

The approaching 1958 national election appears to be .
the prime concerh of the PCM with considerable talk but very
little concrete results. The Party allowed the June 30, 1957,
deadline to pass by without making an attempt to obtein
electoral registration as a political party with right to run
candidates in national elections. Instead of running their
own candidate for President, the PCM has been calling for and
hopes to effect a coalition with the Popular Party and a ofS
segment of the PRI, the government party in power in Mexico.

In the State of Coahuila the PCM thought it had secured

electoral registration by allegedly securing the signatures of
2,250 individuels or 250 mop® than the state requires to run
candidates in state elect¥ons, The Commnist press announced . . .
that during a PCM convention hela in Torreon, Coahuila, on “**’**
June 23, 195 » ARTUROBQRONA was selected as the PCM candidate

for Governor of Coahuila. ORONA fe a member of the Central
Committee of the PCM. The Party announced on July 5, 1957,

thet the government of Coahuila had denied registration to the
PCM.

“while over 200,090 visitors have paid their
way into the Museum to view PICASSO's work the
artist himself cannot’ attend the 75th Anniversary
exhibition, PICASSO, who ig a member of the CP
of France, last attempted to’ visit these shores
in‘ 1950, when the gtate Department refused to issue
him a visa, 2

as
"Just prior to the opening of the current
show, ALFRED BARR} JR., Director of the PICASSO
Exhibit, saig’/that we do not want to put him
(PICASSO) i an embarrassing position by inviting

,him only to have his entry questioned by our

sovernment,"
i The article further states that many patrons
of the art would like to forget that PICASSO

is a Communist, and that many Communists, on the

other hand, tend to separate PICASSO's art from

his politics, The article explains, however, that
PICASSO cahnot’ be understood unless his life

in art and his life in politics are seen 4s a
synthesis of his puding philosophy and social

ut look based on the dignity of man and the
iberty of his conscience,

The August 12, 1957 issue of the "Daily
Worker" contains an article on page six, columns one
and two, captioned, "What!s missing at the

PICASSO Exhibit," This article reflects that PICASSO's
art exhibit has drawn 100,000 New Yorkers and that
numerous articks have been written about PICASSO's -

“art and life.

The "Daily Worrar" article continues by stating
that although many artic’ eshave been written about
PICASSO's life, that it is seldom mentioned, that
he is a member of the CP in France.

literary quality. "Picasso...is a literary painter. Again
and again his pictures express an emotion that did not come
to him through the eyes alone.”

The opinions that the critics hold of Picasso are
many and diverse. Walter Pach wrote: "His line is of amazing
sureness and freedom; he models his forms with economy and
with great powers; his color, while subsidiary, has fineness
and a sense of reserve." Clive Bell called him "one of the
most accomplished technicians alive.” The New Republic said?
"Picasso...is the paramount influence in modern painting-
subject, of course to the supreme influence of Cezanne.”

On the other hand, Leo Stein (Gertrude ts brother)
remarked that "Picasso was not a great patnter or a great
master of composition..The totcl output of intellect in his
work is negligible.” The famous art critic Elie Faure said
that "Cubism ts only an artificial stylization of form basing
itself on a wrong, understanding of the saying of Cezanne."
F.W. Ruckstull declared one of Picasso"s Cubistic paintings
to be "an example of lecherous symbolism full of meaning for
the tnitiates of the cult of symbolistic sadism in art, and
fundamentally tnsane."

"Picasso, however," wrote JeC. Bulliet, "has a
tough hide. He has proceeded calmly on his way, letting the
curs bark at his heels to their hearts’ content. Today...he
is a 'best seller.’ Tomorrow--he will be with Cezanne, and
Manet, and Chardiny and El Greco, and Rembrandt--and the Ages."

Picasso in his youth was very handsome--many Commentators
agree in saying that he had the face of a Spanish troubadour. In
1913 one female interviewer went 80 far as to say: "How he can
ever paint such ugly figures as he does, when he has only to
look in a mirror, copy what he sees, anc turn out something
worth the trouhle, I can't understonc.” She also observed thet
he looked "quite normal." Gertruce Stein described him as
"emall and robust with a vigorous body, dark-skinned" with
"straight, not very fines nearly bleci hair (now grizzlec),"
Time called him the "equare, athletic type, with the face of
a@ humorous, courteous Spantard, and a frank expresston that
occasionally becomes intense. A loose, dangling lock of hair
ts his one mark of willfullness." .

While we recognize thet in reaching final decision

Tn view his % Tepus ation, refusal of visa

to Ficasso would certainly cause unfavorable comment
here, particulusly in intellectual and "liberal"
eivcles. It wuld elso tend to suggest that we have
something to fcar from Communist peace” propaganda.
However, if de2ision is negative, we believe that
Departmental spokesman and VOA should point out

that proposec visit ie a brazen propaganda stunt

for purely political motives which have no connection
with profese“onal activities of applicants.

In either event, we would urge that decision be made_

According to an article tn the New Republic, Picasso
- had "qualities of a solitary, though he was very fond of having
people about him, and had great personal charm. At his stucio
tn the Rue Ravignan where many habitually gathered, for Picasso
characteristically had people come to him rather than go out
to other people, he spoke little and yet was obviously the
dominant personality. His comment on persons and things was
commonly humorous and satirical anc he smoked his pipe and
twinkled while others speculated and disputed. Occastonally
he made caricatures and cartoons which were powerfully
ezpressive as only a great caricaturist could make them.
His dark brilliant eyes were the most absorptive that I have
ever seen." Gertrude Stein speaks of Picasso as having a
high, whinnying Spanish laugh.

In addition to his painting, Picasso also writes

French poetry. He ts fond of dogs and usually has one at his
studio. He has one son--also named Pablo Picasso.

Sonetine during 1916 or 1917 Picasso's home tn
Montrouge (Parts) was robbed and his linen atolen. "It made
me think of the days," wrote Gertrude Stein, "when all of
them were unknown and when Picasso said that tt would be
marvelous tf a real thief came and stole his pictures or
his drawings. Friends, to be sure, took some of them, stole
them tf you like from time to time, ptlfered if you like,
but a real professtonal burglar, a burglar by professton,
when Picasso was not completely unknown, came and preferred
to take the linen."

|

Although Picasso had formerly held himself aloof
from the Russtan ballet as a snobbish luxzury of the moneyed
classes, in 1917 he went with Jean Cocteau to Rome and Florence, Al
to join the Diaghilev Ballet, for which he designed costumes 7:
and settings. That same year he married Olga Koklovay one
of the "most beautiful ballet dancers,” and|Cocteau, Apollinatre,
and Mar Jacob were guests at his wedding. $ far as ts known,
this was Picasso's first marriage, although Gertrude Stein
speaks of Fernande Olivier as his "wife."

Picasso remained under the tnfluence of the Russian
ballet until 1925, His second classical period, begun in
1915 under the inspiration of Ingres, was stimulated by the
ballet, which "aroused in him a renewed interest in the
natural and esthetic beauty of the human body...For ten years
this style was to run in a kind of rivalry with Cubism in
Picasso's paintings and even down to the present time in
prints and tllustrated books." During this |time he executed
a number of "large brilliantly colored stili-life compositions”
tn the Cubtstic method. He dtd not usually |patnt in oils, buts
like many of his contemporaries, used Ripolin paint.

About thts time Picasso began to experiment with
Neo-Surrealism in pictures and sculpture. t the same time
he was doing a series of "flat pattern semisCubist" pictures.
He became interested in paintings "disintegnating the human
forms and them recombining them, synthesized, as related shapes
tn a design.” He also "had begun to concern himself with the
esthetic of stained glass windows.” In addition to these
categories, he did a number of pen-and-wash |\drawings in a
“baroque represenztional style (1933-37)."

whose connections with the Communist Party are well
known, were present at this meeting. At the meeting
a quarrel arose between partisans of art which is
independent of politics and those for whom politics
serves as an inspiration for their art. ‘the painter
Andre Fouteron represented the orthodox trend, known

“as the "new reality." The sculptor Auricoste is head

of the dissenting group. Wo decisions were made at
this first meetin concerning a possible condemnation
of the rebels. Three other work sessions are scheduled,
at the end of which a final motion will define the

point of view of the gommunist, painters, sculptors,

religious art in what may prove a renaissance of church
decoration. The building, or planned building of a
mumber of boldly conceived churches decorated by well
known artists, adds weight to this rapidly growing
movement. One of these churches, near Hegeve, in the

_ French Alps, is built in the style of a mountain chalet.

Its facade is decorated with a mosaic in startling
colors by Leger. The stained glass windows of this
church are the work of Roualt, one of France's greatest
religious painters. A huge tapestry representing the
Apocalypse, by Lucat, a sculptured virgin by the Jewish
artist Lipschitz, a mgsaic by Matisse, and a painting
by Pierre Bonnard, who died last year, all beautify the
ehurch ané attract meny tourists, in addition to the
faithful. Hatisse himself is supervising construction
of another church at St. Feul de Vence, above Nice.
Although a frail old man of 79, he works several hours

& day on stained glass windows, black and white chequered
ceramics for the chur ch walls, anda set of the Stations
of the Cross.

RUSTRICTUD

uv


In 1937 Pablo Picasso left his "Ivory Tower" and

- for the first time allowed a knowledge of events outside the
atelier to penetrate his work. Indignant at General Franco 'e
proceedings in Spain he "produced a series of terrific symbolical
etchings called Songe et Mensonge de Franco accompanied by a
burning tert...and in this mood, too,” he patnted Guernica, a
huge picture entirely black and white (grisatile) "a passtonate
protest against Franco's savage bombing of Spanish towns and
villages.” The 250 foot square mural showed a "freize of
distorted figures, animal and human.”

In 1940 Picasso fled Paris during the general .
evacuation and found safety for a time tn Nazi-occuptied territory
at Royan near Bordeaur. He repeatedly declined offers fron

Ambassador Bullitt and others to get him a passport to the oo
United States, because, he declared, he hates travel and gets
seasick,

Some time later Picasso evidently returned to Paris,
for, in response to an cilegation made in 1941, by a group of
Herican artists wishing to offer him a refuge in thetr countrys
that he was being held in a French concentration camp and that
General Franco was seeking his deportation to Nattonalist Spain,
the authorities denied that he was interned and maintained that
he was living unmolested ct his stucto in Paris. According to
Marcel Duchamp, who reached the United States in August 1942,
Picasso ts among those painters who are making the rouncs of
the Paris cafes just as usual, unpersecuted, painting as if
poghing had happened, and selling more of his work than ever

efores

i Picasso has illustrated many books, among which are
Ovid's Metamorphoses, Balzac's Le Chef-d'Oeuvre Inconnus
Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, Gertrude Stein's Diz Portraits, and
many other volumes by his friends. He has also collaborated
tn many ballets.

Gertrude Stein feels thats. although Picasso is a
French painter, his nature ts fundomentclly Spanish. "Cubism,"
she wrote, "is a part of the daily life of Spcin, it is in
Spanish architecture." Elliot Paul maintains also that Picasso's
"art is Spanish," although the painter had a studio in Paris
and dealers sold his paintings "by the yard” in France. Stark
Young observed that "Picasso wos born in Malaga, and studied
art in Kacrid and Barcelona, so that the three provinces that
compose the diversity of Spanish genius, Andalusia, Castille,
and Catalonia, have all come into his rance and quality."
Another essential of his paintings, commenttors agree, is its

ZI. PABLO PICASSO!S EXHIBIT

NY 100-4931

The August 11, 1957 4ssue of "The Worker",
on page six, colums two, three, four and five, continued
on page seven, columis one and two, contains an
article under the caption "One Man's Views of
Picasso's 75th Anniversary Show", This article reflects
in part that, "The vamiegated and incredible world
of PABLO. PICASSO" 41s on display on New York's West
53rd Street this summer where the Museum of Modern
Art 1s celebrating the great French artist's 75th
anniversary year with one of the most extensive
one man shows in its history.

"The exhibit will run through September 8th
and then move on to the Art Institute of Chicago,
where it will be on view until October 29th through
December 8th. :

"To date moze than 200,000 people have
viewed the outpouring of sixty years of painting and
seulpturing by the artist who has come to be
a@ legend in his own lifetime, The crowds who have
throngeé to the Museum's exhibit have seen .

a variety of form and style combined with a
profourd insight into human emotion and deep
respect for people."

The article continues by discussing PICASSO's

genius in both painting and sculpturing, and then
begins a discussion of his Communist Party membership.

The "Daily Worker" article further reflects
that PICASSO joined the CP in 1944; and that many
political observers scoffed at his decision to join
the CP, and said that "it couldn't last." The article

: further states that the capitalist Press expected
; PICASSO to leave the CP last/ October during the
; “tragic Budapest days", however he"remained a card
: carrying membep" .

BANNING OF "HUCKLEBERRY
. FINN"

The September 13, 1957 issue of the “Daily
- Workex" contains an article on page six, column one,
cat captioned, "In Which We Oppose Board of Education's

eet Banning of Huckleberry Finn." This article reflects
oa that it is deplorable that the MARK TWAIN | -
classic" he adven’t uresof HUCKLEBERRY FINN wa» banned
: as a textbook by the elementary and junior high schools,

because of criticism by some leaders of the Ncgro

. ‘ace, that it is ‘racially offensive." The article
continues by stating that in the story of "HUCKLEBERRY
FINN", HUCKLEBERRY FINN is shown struggling with e

of question that is still before us. "The question was

this: If he should help a young Negro's piight

a to freedom he would be branded as a subversive by

the Attorney General and polite Society «senerally

but his conscience would be clear, On the other hand if

he obeyed the rule:which* meant +» turning informer,

he would be acclaimed as a hero, but would he

be able to sleep nights?"

The article further reflects that, "HUCK made
— ‘up his mind to throw in his.lot with all those’
fighsing for a bettcr America, And since his defiance

of the nacists meant he was going to hell anyway,

he made.up his mind to take up wickedness in earnest",...
