  • Constantin Aljalov’s painting of the new arrivals picking their green and embarrassed way through the tanned regulars, could have been made on any beach in the country. For that feeling of outstanding pallor is well known from coast to coast, and there is no lotion for it, except that in a few days you can sneak out even later arrivals. Aljalov made his sketches in Palm Beach, Florida, when the Northerners were arriving last winter, and feeling just as conspicuous as he has indicated. While there, he began work on another cover you’ll see in a few weeks, an Aljalov commentary on deep-sea fishing. It’s well worth waiting for.
