Gibralfaro, reminding one of a mngicans
touch.
In quite a number of these paintings figures
are introduced, lending human interest, such,
for instance as "A Vender of Fish, Malaga"
a man carrying great platters suspended from
q yoke as though he were human scales, or
Fisherman, Late Afternoon" man seated
on the shore.
There are A of these paintings in oil and
"a water colors, the latter hung in the adjacent
hallway. Most lovely, perhaps, among the
latter are Shrine, Cristo de Nina, in Santo
Domingo Church" exquisite piece OF in
terror painting and THE Shower, Torremo-
limos Mountains" done with great breadth and
at the time subtlety of expression. Is
the unusual that Mr.. Sawyer in almost every
instance seems to have sought out, but not
the strange. He shows, for instance, among
his water colors a fragment Of the Walls OF
the Alhambra," "A Corner in Cambados, An
Old City Gate" at Valencia, glimpse Of the
remote village of Puerta Pollensa, Majorca;
sketch in "Market"-Spain, not of toreadors
and brigands, but of the Spanish people -
sunny. picturesque. happy, apart. still a remote
country and at the present time experiencing
great changes.
The majority of these pictures. were shown
in 1929 in the Museo Rationale des Artes
Moderno, Madrid, under official Spanish aus
pices. Representatives of the government
opened the exhibition and after private in
Spection received invited guests. High praise
was accorded the artist by Spanish critics.
Some Of these paintings were shown in New
York, but number have not before been ex-
hibited in the United States. 1t is particularly
appropriate that this exhibition should be held
in the National Gallery of Art here at the
National Capital

each handles her medium quite differently.
Miss Lent's works are strong and bold and

HE exhibition OF paintings in oil and
water color, Corners in SPAIN" by
Wells M Sawyer, which opened in
the National Gallery of Art, United
States National Museum. October "a
to continue to November 80, is genu-
inely delightful as refreshing as visit to
new country under the guidance OF one who
is a discoverer of beauty and capable of i'm
parting his enthusiasm. No wonder that when
q DISTINGUISHED Spanish architect and artist
visited Mr. Sawyer's studio in Spain and saw
these paintings they Immediately suggested an
exhibition in Madrid and took the necessary
steps to secure the official invitation. For here
are pictures Of Spain of which Spaniard
might be proud pictures which give one to
understand the real beauty and lovable quality
OF that land Of romance.
Mr.. Sawyer went to Spain in 1926 to regain
his health and he remained there for about
four years, long enough to recover, to feel at
home and to absorb the spirit OF those places
in which he painted. good part of the four
wears Mr. Sawyer spent in Malaga because of
its excellent and health-giving climate, and
many of the pictures in this exhibition were
painted there. OF course he also visited Ora
NADIA, Segovia, Seville and other well known
places But he liked best and found most
interest in the little Spanish towns to which
tourists seldom go. And everywhere he went
he met with the utmost courtesy and kindness.
In one small town, when he tried to pant,
people gathered around so closely that his
view was INSTRUCTED and the little Boys gave
him no peace. There was policeman In
that town. and he, noting the difficulty. armed
himself with q long bamboo fishing pole, stood
behind the painter and when any one came
too near tapped him with the pole. Patiently
he stood at guard, protecting the painter until
the work done. refusing all reward save
the painters thanks.
There IS no suggestion in these paintings BY
Mr. Sawyer of an effort to be impressive, OF
n purpose to set forth that which might be
considered typical of Spain. Instead, the VASi-
tor must realize that here are pictures painted
for the sheer love of the painting and because
of the subjective inherent appeal And how
delightful are these places and things that
Mr.. Sawyer found in Spain-The Old Mon
astery Los Angeles in Malaga, the old steps
worn by seven hundred years Of service lead

markedly and artistically syncronized
with the movements in the film.
M. M Cekhanovski. director. re-

cinematography again shows that in
animated films, it also looks for new
expressions and new ways.
