Title: Fair visitors to see famed El Greco canvas.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30776 FAIR VISITORS TO SEE FAMED EL GRECO CANVAS NEW YORK -- The Spanish Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair has received government approval to display this famous 400-year-old religious painting by El Greco, entitled “The Burial of the Count of Orgaz.” The canvas was recently removed from a back wall of the Santo Tome Catholic church in Toledo, with permission of Enrique Cardinal Pla y Deniel, Primate of Spain. Only once before was the delicate task of peeling the canvas off the wall attempted in about 400 years, and that took place during the Spanish Civil War when Toledo and its art treasures were in peril. Following the war, the 24 by 15 feet canvas was restored and remounted on the wall of the ancient church. The painting consists of two scene symbolizing heaven and earth, with the lower portion showing the body of the count being placed into his grave by St. Stephen and St. Augustine, and the upper part depicting the count’s soul in heaven.

Title: New Spanish church stresses simplicity.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31816 NEW SPANISH CHURCH STRESSES SIMPLICITY VITORIA, Spain -- A plain curving wall and gently pitched roof are marks of simplicity reflected in the interior of the new Roman Catholic Church of the Coronation of Our Lady at Vitoria, Spain. The solid structure, of local stone exterior and white concrete-walled interior, has a low block altar dominated by a dramatic, modernistic crucifix hanging on slender wires. With its bell-tower, which rises on four slim concrete columns, the church stands in sharp contrast to more conventional surrounding structures. The church is one of several featured in the new Holt, Rinehart and Winston volume, “New Churches of Europe,” by G.E. Kidder Smith, architectural historian and photographer.
