Never Judge an Artist By His Letters

important in the first place is
the art they make, not the
lives they lead. Hence the
vast majority of the items
they are not solely letters
concentrates on art, either in
the form of general reflec-
tons or, much more interest
ingly, in that of analysis, de-
cription or declaration of in
tention in regard to specific,
individual works.
Most Sinned Against
Even MicheIangelo and Van
Gogh, the two most sinned
against victims of maudlin
vulgarity in this field, emerge
as dedicated professionals,
men who saw and men who
made objects, not men who
palpitated.
Technically the book itself
is a marvel of professional
ism. The letters and other
documents are illustrated by
the pictures and statues re-
f erred to. Mr.. Prudential
lists his sources and the loca-
tons of the art and provides
an index. The two boxed vol
umes are of normal rather
than giant size and thus can
be read as well as admired.
The notes in the text are re-
markable for brevity and rel
evance. There are Just over

Castro opposition to a week
end rendezvous with guerrilla
forces in the remote mountain
regions of 0riente Province.
Mr.. Franco is at his weak
est when he digresses from
these first-hand experiences
to hearsay accounts of what
makes Mr.. Castro and his
prin clip al ieutenants tick.
Through excessive use of quo
tation marks around inter-
views with people reputed to
be close to the Castro clique,
he seeks to recreate the his
tory of the Cuban descent into
communism.
Much of this story is so
wrapped in mystery, and
much of it has been distorted
one way or another so often,
that it is now difficult to tell
truth from fiction. Mr.. Fran
co.'s graphic descriptions of
Fidel Castro's personality
traits and his early links with
Communist cells in Cuba, I'M
fortunately, do not add much
to the chronicle.
Nevertheless, for the Ameri-
can reader-as for the Euro
pean-Mr. FRANCOIS percep-
tive reporting is a welcome
antidote to the almost total
vacuum of ignorance which
exists today about daily life in
Cuba. What stands out is not
so m u ch the political
strengths and weaknesses of
the r 81 m (which are all
well diSSected-but the depth
of human degradation which
the Castro dictatorship has
forced on the Cuban people.

LETTERS OF THE GREAT
ARTISTS. Edited and an
notated by Richard Fried
enthal. Random House;
$12.95 until Christmas, then
$15.)
There's a lot to be said for
having all art produced by a
society of Artists Anonymous,
with the identity of the art
workers vigorously protected
during their lives and espe-
cially after their deaths. A long
list of artists, beginning with
Michelangelo, or per h a p S,
through Browning, even with
LippO Lippi, and coming up to
Jackson Pollock, has suffered
the ironic fate of having the
actual work obScured by pub
lie and commercial interest in
the lives of the artists.
In general, when anyone
starts talking about an artists
life or reading from his let
tiers, it is a good idea to head
for the nearest museum and
look at his pi cture S, thus
maintaining your grasp on the
nature of artistic reality.

Jim Bishop Dives
Into Fiction
And Gets All Wet

HONEYMOON DIARY. By
Jim Bishop. (Harper &
Row; S4.95.)
This is Mr.. Bishops 18th
book and his first novel.
His flaShbacks into history,
starting with the remarkable
''The Day Lincoln Was Shot,"
stimulated so much imitation
of method that they started a
whole trend. In the Lincoln
story, ''The Day Christ Died"
and other books, Jim Bishop
focused the vivid observation
of a good reporter on certain
moments in the recorded
course of events that will live
as long as men read.
In reporting these moments,
as accurately as documentary
evidence could provide, yet
much as if he were there, he
carried his readers along with
a swift, flowing style. He has
written Honeymoon Diary"
in the same way. 1t moves, it
describes graphically, and
yet, unfortunately, the novel
does not seem to come off
nearly so well as his factual
studies.
1t is the story of a 3O-day
wedding trip around the
world. The bridegroom is a
successful writer of So, his
bride is 80. Lon and Kay are
very much in love and yet
the course of their marriage
briStleS with certain difficult
ties. He is a widower with a
23-year-old son who is pSy-
chotic at times. She has been
married and divorced and
has a daughter of 8, who was
left in the care of a trusted
houSekeeper.
In the course of the honey
mooners' flights and stop
overs, Lon emerges clearly.
He has arrogance and ego
enough for several husbands,
and yet his bride, though she
flares up at times, seems de-
termined to ignore or condone
his outburSts. Kay remains
nebulous, a curious mixture
of wisdom and ignorance, of
sOphiStication and naivete. At
times the author surrenders
to the temptation to leave his
story for a while and wander
off into the ways of Beirut,
Jerusalem, New Delhi, Bang
kok, Tokyo.
Mr.. Bishop can write, but
well, a novel is a COM
pick literary mechanism
which not every good writer
can master.

shows how the two sisters
were formed and shaped by
the friction and cross-currents
of family life. Their two other
sisters, Agnes and We're, one
a religious cultist, the other
a desperate flapper, are there
to tell the others home truths
now and again. And if Vanessa
is Stonyhearted and overbear-
ing, she also gives P. S.
standards Of perfection other
wise not obtainable. And if
Lila is a dear, she is also a
worrier who induces what she
fears most and as Agnes said,
may well have blighted the
life of Gentle George.
Comes On Strong
George is, incidentally, a
masterpiece of indirect char
acterization. A certified fail
ure, he never takes any di-
rect action. He is talked at
by Lila, chung to by P. S. Yet
such is the skill of the author
that George comes on strong
as a lovely man.
Mr.. Elliott is a little hard
on his readers. One Shatter-
ing scene follows another; so
do hideous condolences, IA
tally unfinished sentences,
misunderstood fragments. It
is this reviewers opinion that
the ending is needleSsly theat-
rical. But the net effect is
dazzling. The book has sus-
pense, humor, understanding,
compassion, variety and a fe-
icity of touch throughout.

mics to fight for an unknown
cause. Death in any case is
inevitable; the War Depart
ment is simply In charge of
planned and orderly dying.
In his first novel, "a Clock
work Orange" Mr.. Burgess
showed himself to be a bril-
liant satiriSt with a knack for
words. The pres ent novel,
longer and more ambitious, is
not so good. Homosexuality as
the moral way of life may be
funny for a few pages, but the
joke hardly lasts for half a
book. That soldiers do not
need to know why they are
fighting, perhaps usually do
not know, has become too
commonplace an idea for sue
cesSful satire. The novel, split
in two, is inclined to drag; on
the other hand, there are indi-
vidual pages in which the
reader who savored "The
Clockwork Orange" can still
taste the Burgess wit.

Or colour" as the text has
it, even when quoting Jackson
Pollock. This is an English
book and has the usual to us
infuriating English indiffer-
ence to, or ignorance of, Amer
lean art. Pollock, in fact, is
the only Am eric a n in the
group-WhiStler being conSid-
cred, quite properly, British
and one has the feeling that
he was tackled on at the very
end through someone's re-
membrane of the American
market.
Fascinating Book
Granted that limitation, it's
a fascinating and instructive
book. From the early Renais-
sance, with PiSano the younger
and Ghiberti, through the
10th century in Europe and
England, we hear not only the
artist on his work and on his
notions of work but also on
his relations with society.
This is the second great
theme of the book and it is
beautifully orchestrated.
The artist emerges for the
first time as an individual
creator much to be valued.
He is involved deeply with his
society, either as questioning
employe or as, more recently,
critical outcast. We read, for
example, the trial transcript
of Veronese'S appearance be-
