TIL La Note or Holy Night" by
C~orreggio and one of u great pictures of
the world was the subject discussed at
the Art club on Friday.
Miss Hazel ,Gindrupe gave original
thoughts in what l see in the picture
or what she thought the artist tried TO
represent.
Miss Mcdonald then told something Of
the life OF Correggio and spoke of the
peculiar effect in this picture, and that is
! that the light all appears to come from
| the face of the child and to be cast on
| all objects around.
Miss Cox then gave a talk on the
| characteristics Of Correggio's work. She
said Correggio was a worshiper of ply
steal beauty, and no one can study his
| pictures without feeling that whatever
the subjects they were painted first of
all to portray beauty.
To portray charm. not character, was
his mission. His figures always express
joy; they are in motion, Or just on the
verge of it. In this grace of motion he
surpasses all other masters. His typo Of
face recalls that OF Leonardo. 1t has been
said that only two artists have ever
painted the smile of wonan-Leonard1
and Correggio-but the difference is great
between the two smiles. L4eonardo's Is
full Of subtlity, is the expression OF
something deep in the life and character,
while Correggio's is simply the joy OF
existence.
His woman's hands are peculiarly
beautiful, slender and restless. His chill
dren's heads have usually an exaggerated
forehead and an abundance of curly
hair.
