Art: Carnegie Show
(3 of 3) *Murdock Pemberton, Kansas-born art critic of The New Yorker,
woman's club lecturer, is even more definite, lists the four greatest
living painters thus: Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Derain. All except
Matisse, who as a judge cannot show, are exhibiting in Pittsburgh.
*Paul Gauguin, morose Post-Impressionist painter of the 1890's, grew
disgusted with modern civilization, sold all his European paintings
for 9,860 francs ($1,972) deserted his wife and children and went to
spend the rest of his life in Tahiti, the "Terrestrial Paradise.''
There, still subject to acute melancholia, he went completely native,
painted serene pictures of statuesque Maoris on canvas salvaged from
flour bags, wrote Noa Noa, an autobiographical account; died in poverty
on the island of Dominica in the Marquesas, May 9, 1903. *Last summer Picasso refused 750,000 francs ($30,000) from the
Copenhagen Museum for a painting. He asked and expects to get one
million francs.
