NEW YORK. February (NA
MAJ In Gelatinland We use the
word art at random. We talk Of the
art of the cinema. of the art Of mon
taee, Of the art of dialogue, art
art-art. So I had an idea of look
ing over some New York art and
took me to the much discussed Bran
cusi show.
The Drummer Gallery has displayed
the amazing results Of the Brancusi
inspiration perfectly. Against a back
ground of whitewashed monks cloth
stand the bronze and onyx and oak
and steel and dark marble b!obs which
are the Brancusi masterpieces.
Don't misunderstood me when I
say blob The Brancusi show is a
collection of blobs of beautifully
patinated materials but not
without magic rhythps and a certain
surprising intrigue.
It would be hard to say, offhand
which is more amusing, the audience
the Brancusi sho' draws, or the show
itself. Here are intense young women,
lean, hawk-eyed. in durable browns
and with haircuts that look as if
hacked of with the family scissors.
Flat-heeled. and bearing their bone
trimmed glasses bravely on their bony
countenances, they managed to work
up a steam Of enthusiasm which their
obvious anemia scarcely seemed to
warrant.
Here is a strange, arty youth. who
has ignored the family scissors and
allows his hair to lean Imply on his
collar He stands before The Fish"
an amazing blue marble, which. with
out possessing a single deviation in
the form Of tail or I'm or gills-or
any other part Of the working anat-
omy of a f1sh-conveys most tellingly
the illusion Of a great. cool, sinuous
thing of the deep swimming along at
a charming slant. I sound, Of q sud-
