Bourdelle in these works? To what extent do
they manifest the masters viewpoint?
Bourdelle sculptor, though he did not
confne himself exclusively to sculpture. It is,
therefore, reasonable that the works of his
pupil In sculpture should more closely approach
q preconception of his ideals than work in
painting. No one could possibly see the three
heads by Angela Gregory In this exhibition
without recognizing the influence Of her teacher
or realizing the strength OF her gift. They are
strong. well modelled vital-works which are
essentially plastic and full OF character. Like
Bourdelle she has not attempted to create
smoothness of surface, but she does not discard
tradition nor deny her own nationality.
Writing of Bourdelle, Miss Gregory has said
that his great contribution to the art Of today
was recognition of the fact that sculpture
grew out Of architecture, and she has called
attention to the statement of a distinguished
French author who contradicting the common
belief that Bourdele initiated the primitive
insisted upon it that Bourdelle was primitive,
therefore his expression in primitive manner
was genuinely sincere. In the photographs Of
her Sculptural decorations for the new Court
House in New Orleans, Miss Gregory seems to
have employed primitive 1diom, but in the
portrait heads which she shows in this exhibit
ton there is no suggestion of primitive influence
or leaning. OF the three heads two are of
Negroes, beautifully and Sensitively rendered
the third head, a white man. Portrait of Joseph
Campbell" is racisy quite as significant
The only resemblance, indicative of common
training, in the work of Angela Gregory end
Fanny characteristics is the element of the
primitive and the evidence of strength.
Whether one likes the young Greek French
painters works or not, none can doubt her sin
certify and her eagerness to find honest and
significant expression Like many modern:sts,
she completely diSxegards the amenities of
beauty. Her whole purpose is apparently to set
forth substance and individuality. Her works
have structural strength, and occasionally her
color compositions pleasing, but for the
most part the loneliness that enc associates
with the great traditional works of art is COM
pletely absent.
She shows in this exhibition portraits, land
scapes. still life. In some instances she pre-
sents people and objects life sized, in others in
little. Among the latter works set forth is
tiny portrait of Bourdelle seen seated by table
out of DOORS at work piece of sculpture.
This picture was painted a very short time be-
fore Bourdelles death and does undoubtedly,
give an intimate impression Of the great sculp-

Club. or not, they are unquestionably thought
provoking and indicative of original talent.
MODERNISM in quite different form finds
expression in the little exhibition Of draw
ings and paintings by Natalie Hays Hammond
which opened at the Corcoran Gallery OF Art
last Monday and will continue through May 3.
Here we have the modernism Of Bakst and his
Russian confreres, the modernism which has
taken full possession of the field Of industrial
art today and has, to extent, created, within
these boundaries new idiom.
Miss Hammond is a pupil of the Master InSti-
tute of the Rcerich Museum, New York, and she
studied under Serge Soudekine In 1927 she
designed a series of sets and costumes for Nazi-
mova's one-act play, India" and the following
year designed costumes for the Bicentenary
Pageant of st. Johns College, Annapolis. The
works that she shows in this exhibition are

@EW exhibitions held by artists in Wash
- ington, other than those under the
~ auspices of the Corcoran Gallery Of
Art or the National Gallery of Art,
have been as widely noticed by the
out-of-town press as that of paintings by Fanny
Bunand-SevastoS and sculpture by Angela
Gregory, which opened at the Arts Club week
ago and will continue week longer. In part,
the reason for this is the fact that both of these
young artists are pupils of the late Antoine
Bourdelle, one of the greatest sculptors of mod
ern times in France-possibly of all time-one
whose works are admired and revered by the
knowing and critical of all nations
Fanny Bunand-Sevastos is Bourdelles niece,
the daughter Of his wife's brother, and for the
last few years of Bourdelle's life a member of
his household and an assistant in his studio.

against Harry Powers, alias
Cornelius Pierson, local authori-
ties today resumed digging into

which Powers garroted two

Previously, Sheriff William

for more bodies had been aban-

An attempt was made today to

Powers wife leased the murder
