Tues. 10/14 Worked on stone at school. Sternberg: Grosz ^( now ) Benton, Kroll, etc stink. American capacity for worshipping fakers. Said my comps. of coastline could be better. More area variation of shapes & pattern, less of the shimmering use of color. And I try to defend my art: movement is my prime goal. Will I ever be convinced? Conflicts in me! (He liked Land #2 best of all) To Whitney with Harlan & Morton & Dan. some good things - don't remember - to ACA-Evergood (woozy), Katherine Olds (boats, water). Groffer Greenwich Village - Art displays on sidewalks To Dorothy's - DK's Naupaka & Prelude & Hula. Kleinsinger - debate - "serious" vs the Blitzstein school. Stuart Davis: to draw from new sources of art is a [[end page]] [[start page]] progressive social quality in itself (see New Sch. catalog) Sternberg said New School weak: sort of [[strikethrough]]ne[[/strikethrough]] non-committal attitude toward real problems. Kuniyoshi bores - beautiful texture. I want to paint big pictures again but there is too much of a conflict within me as to subject matter. Harlan assures, as Olds does, that subj. m. isn't the thing re social consciousness. [[image: pencil drawing of 2 boxes with sketches of landscapes]] White morning - is it greater because shapes are plain?
