"The Fountainhead was published as a comic strip series in 1945 by King Features. The series included thirty comic strips illustrated by renowned illustrator Frank Godwin. The entire production of the original project was supervised by Ayn Rand, who also wrote most of the copy for the thirty installments."

"For a long time, Mayne ferociously resisted what he calls the ''con-tamination'' of his profession. He terrorized and alienated clients in his struggle to avoid the compromises that occur when drawings are converted into buildings. At 60, this former bad boy now finds that his firm, Morphosis, is winning some of the most prestigious commissions in the country. Even more surprising, he appears to have become the first-choice architect of the U.S. government, which, under the ''design excellence'' program of the General Services Administration, has retained Morphosis to build a federal office building in San Francisco, a courthouse in Eugene, Ore., and the satellite facility for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration outside of Washington. All three projects are currently under construction. In New York, Morphosis recently won two important competitions: for the Olympic Village in Queens, which is a mixed-use waterfront development that is scheduled to go up whether or not the Olympic Games come to New York in 2012, and the art studio and engineering building of Cooper Union. ''It's really been a kick,'' he says. ''The last two major competitions in New York, I've gotten both of them.''

"On one side of the wall, a fresco of three birds hovers over the harsh fluorescent light of an emergency exit at the Institute for Military Geography. On the other side, a larger, ruined fresco sits at the foot of a Renaissance staircase in a 14th-century monastery."

THURBER

Well, once I did a drawing for The New Yorker of a naked woman on all fours up on top of a bookcase–a big bookcase. She’s up there near the ceiling, and in the room are her husband and two other women. The husband is saying to one of the women, obviously a guest, “This is the present Mrs. Harris. That’s my first wife up there.” Well, when I did the cartoon originally I meant the naked woman to be at the top of a flight of stairs, but I lost the sense of perspective and instead of getting in the stairs when I drew my line down, there she was stuck up there, naked, on a bookcase.

"Two new and serious studies attempt the work of making Leonardo earthbound again. “Leonardo” (Oxford; $26), by the Oxford art-history professor Martin Kemp, is a summary of a life’s research; “Leonardo da Vinci: Flights of the Mind” (Viking; $32.95), by the biographer and historian Charles Nicholl, is a popular account, dense with social history and rational, high-hearted speculation. The simultaneous appearance of the books doubtless created two anxious publishers, but they complement each other almost perfectly: Kemp’s is Leonardo seen from the inside out, Nicholl’s from the outside in. Kemp explains Leonardo’s principles of design and his theory of the world from an intense knowledge of his mind and drawings; Nicholl shows where his ideas came from and who paid to subsidize them, through a broad rendering of his life and times."

The Miami Design Preservation League celebrates its 28th annual Art Deco Weekend with the theme "Art Deco and the New Deal." The event was created to raise awareness of the Art Deco era (roughly 1925-1945) and attract visitors to Miami Beach's historic district. South Beach no longer needs any added attention, but Miami loves any excuse to party. This year's festival salutes the Works Progress Administration (WPA), one of the "New Deal" government agencies that created public works in the Thirties. The WPA employed eight million people during the Depression and produced a stunning collection of literature, photography, art, and architecture. The weekend's schedule of films, lectures, and entertainment will give props to the WPA and its contributions to the Art Deco landscape of Miami Beach.
