-14- [[underline]] Publication: [[/underline]] NEW IMAGES OF MAN by Peter Selz. A new image of man, often shattered, or distorted, reflecting the anxieties of our century, has evolved in contemporary art. This book (based on the exhibition to be held at the Museum beginning September 30) contains a selection of those recent painters and sculptors, who, in their interpretations of the human figure, have created this mid-twentieth-century image. 160 pages, 99 illustrations (11 in colour). ***** [[underline]] Art Notes The Toledo Museum of Art,[[/underline]] Ohio, holds its first major exhibition of the 1959-60 season with a display at the School of Design of 400 exhibits of oil and watercolour paintings, murals, models, masks and many other skills by adults and children. The exhibits remain on view until September 27. Mr. Otto Wittmann, the museum's director, says "The exhibition is designed to show prospective students what can be accomplished by people who had little or no art training before joining art museum classes". - - - - - [[underline]] Officials of the American National Exhibition [[/underline]] which closed in Moscow on September 4 estimated that nearly three million Russians viewed the huge technological and cultural display during its 42-day run. - - - - - [[underline]] The paintings and drawings of David Smith [[/underline]] are being exhibited until October 10 at French and Co., 978, Madison Avenue, New York.
