Random Impressions
In Current Exhibitions

Well-fed, well-dressed, smiling chill
dren are the dominating subjects in the
exhibition Of portraits and drawings by
Virginia Keep Clark at the Montross
Gallery. In fact pleasant optimism is
the striking characteristic of her work.
Her middle-aged folk are placid, her
elderly men and women contentment
itself. In other words, the artist con-
Germs herself more with appearance and
likeness than with character.
William Sanger's paintings recently
done in Spain, now on exhibition at the
Touchstone Galleries, afford an inter-
esting contrast to the splashes of bril-
liant color and the vivid type which
fasA from TIE canvases by Sorolla and

different. 1t is a drab country with a
sinister atmosphere. Even his land
scapes are cynical. His old women
arc hags. His subjects are scenes in
Cordoba, Vigo and other Spanish
towns and cities, landscapes, and a
sprinkling of personalities. In every
thing there is strong note of in
dividualty, a firm belief in his con-
victions about Spanish life and types
as he sees them. In one of his most
interesting pictures he has depicted the
