a variation intolerable in al
most any other trade. A
few years ago a very strong,
somewhat macabre, Picasso
barely topped $4,000 in New
York. Half a year later a
comparable work went in
London for nearly $4,000.
The recent big one by
Jackson Pollock fits into
none Of the categories dis
cussed so far. Pollock died
IN 1856. He is a contempo-
rary American, indeed the
leader, dead or alive, of what
is variously called abstract
eXpressionism, the New York
school, or action painting.
This manner of painting OBJ
tanned, in a very few years,
the benediction of buyers,
art publishers and museum
men. In modern painting,
abstract expressionism is
unique in obtaining such Of
ficial and enthusiastic sane
ton. Most of the precedents
for that kind Of official re-
ception are painters and
styles now in low regard.

and the Americans of the

All this adds up to fashion
and fashion, in art and life,
adds up swiftly to six col
umns of figures. as realty
prices in Georgetown so
poignantly demonstrate.
Fashion in art is impos-
sible to predict, although
there are observers who
maintain it can be manu-
factured. The one sure thing
about fashion in all fields
is that it changes. Nothing
is more depressing than to
review the prices commanded
by once fashionable painters
whose names you now have
to find, If at all, in the en-
cyclopaedia. Somewhere be-
tween pure fashion and pure
art, in a kind of limbo. floats
the reputation of John Singer
Sargent, which, in 1927, could
get 100000 a picture and
which today would get very
much less.
The inevitable fall from
fashion can be tempered by
keeping supply behind de-
mand. Thus the estates of
George Bellows and Walt
Kuhn are still selling, one at
a time and not very often,
works from the body of un-
sold paintings left when the
artists died. Pollock's widow,
Lee Krasner, herself an alb
stract expressioniSt, is doing
the same. Bellows and Kuhn
seem by now to have bridged
the fashion gap and to have
won enduring acceptance on
their considerable merits
alone.
Whether Pollock will do the
same thing is a question that
only time can answer. At
the moment and speaking
solely of market analysis, it
seems clear that Pollock's s
popularity and Pollock S
prices are mainly fashion
prolonged.

The most frequent reasons
given for opposing aid to non-

Art and money, in the folk
lore Of American culture, are
two opposed powers, contend
ing in the souls Of men and
in the life of the Nation
rather as God and the Devil
used to do in Puritan New
England.
Is this true?
1t may very we'll be that
in the souls of startled young
artists there still arises the
agonizing dilemma of whether
to follow art, burning with a
gem-like flame, or to join the
counting house and move to-
ward the eventual acquisition
of some flame-like gems. In
the larger world of men and
affairs, however. there is con-
siderable evidence that art,
whatever else it may be, is
also big business, that art
and money, far from being
in eternal opposition, work as
cozily together as any two
competitors in electrical
equipment.
The latest gale to sweep
from the North with the
crash Of resounding cash is
the news from New York that
a painting by the late Jack
son Pollock just sold there
for 100000. What's more,
another Pollock went at the
same time for $4,000.
Those prices put the king
of the action painters into
the big time, but he still has
a long way to go before he's
king Of the hill in the marts
of art. A prime Cezanne, for
example, recently fetched
over 100000. Gauguin has
moved up to the same area.

could strike a hard blow at

hope of "repudiating the great
moral issue which lay at the
bottom of the Civil War;" Roy

FIRST NEGRO
NEWSPAPER

The first Negro newspaper
in the United States was pub
lished March 16, 1927 in New
York City. This early paper,
FREEDOMS JOURNAL, was
founded by John Russwurm.
Commenting on this contri-
button, President Kennedy had
this to say: II think it is es-
pecially significant that Mr..
Russwurm, who was publish
er of the first Negro newSpa-
per, was also the first Negro
to graduate from an American
college. The newspaper is an
educational instrument and 1t
should attract those best quail
flied to, seek out and impart
the essential truths of our
time. 1t is truth, it has been
said many times, that sets man
free"
The Rev. Samuel Cornish,
a Presbyterian, was an asso-
ciate with .Russwurm in the
FREEDOMS JOURNAL ven
ture, one year after Russ
wurm graduated from Bowdo-
in College in Maine, becom-
ing in 1926, the first Negro
college graduate in the United
States.
In 1929, Russwurm went to
Liberia, West Africa, as a min
lister of education and later
governor of the colony of Cape
Palmas or Maryland in the Re-
public of Liberia.
