Illustrative of the art that has emerged since the World War is Milton Zolotow's "These Are The Days of Vengeance," which is the tenth of a series, showing extra ordinary use of space and dark and light. A veteran, Zolotow has giv'en a great emotional pull to his black watercolor.

His is a singular abstraction of boats in the background of sea. Maurice Gordon has created a chaming picture of a little girl in confirmation dress. Gordon, who formerly rendered architectural and interior decorating drawings, has emphasized the girl through bright color against the dark back ground.
