Painters Attract Gallery
Wherever They Set Up
Their EaseIs.
By R0u,land Lyon.

-HE American public evinces the
keenest interest in every move
ment Of the artist, just short
L of learning how to buy pic
ture. A landscape painter who sets
up his easel near road is major
trafic hazard and practically lays
himself open TO charger Of man
slaughter, or at least involuntary
homicide.
/ remember painting a lighthouse
on Cape Cod this Summer In or
der to get the dramatic silhouette OF
the tower against the sky 1 had to
paint it from a crossroads about one
quarter of mile from its location
While l was getting the canvas placed
on the easel I was thinking only OF
the lighthouse. but 1 soon learned
that there were other factors In the
situation.
My first intimation of the risk I
was causing to life and limb was the
grinding shrek of brakes as two cars
narrowly missed colliding at the in
tersection. l continued my work
thinking that Massachusetts should
be more careful about issuing licenses
to reckless drivers. Hardly a moment
later there was a second shuddering
scream of brakes being applied, fol-
lowed by some harsh words exchanged
between the drivers.
Then l realized the awful truth
that l was the cause of it all. The
drivers, seeing my picture exposed
as 1t was. were overcome with Curl
osity and leaned out of the front seats
to get a better view. OF course, they
continued to drive at the same rate
of speed, until at the last moment
each realized. that another car doing
precisely the same thing was ap-
preaching from the other road.
COME cars stopped while the occu-
pants craned their necks. block
ing traffic and causing a deafening
blare of horns. Others merely slowed
down to a snail's pace. The only ones
who showed no interest were hard
bitten New England farmers, who rat
tied by in Model-T Fords, seemingly
unaware OF my existence
During q lull in the traffc, a car
stopped and little girl jumped out,
ran over to my easel. took one quick
look and fed back 10 the automobile

Painting in cities is another story
II paint from my own car have
to move it because of the hour park

RUT the real bane of the urban
landscape painters life is the
moving van, which drives up in front
of the scene which is being painted
and parks. One OF these is capable
of blotting out half of city block
at a time. Gasoline and ice cream
trucks are runners-up with the mov-
ing vans when it comes to erasing
landscape, but they usually move on
after short time.

and, with a grinding of gears, was
raced away.
One man thought it was a good op-
portunity to walk the dog and thus
kill two birds with one stone. An
other, noticing the Maryland tags on
my car, asked me if l was from Bal
timore. and when l replied that
Washington was my home, he told
about his experiences in Washington
during the war and also the story of
his life, while his wife sat in the car
and waited.
Some people like to lean out of
autos that tear by and yell such
remarks as That's good" DO you
get paid for that?" or Why don't
you take a picture of it?" Once in
while they ask questions unrelated
to painting, such as. Say, buddy,
where's q good place to eat?" How
far is 1t to Boston," or rs the fish
ing good around here?"
Friends and acquaintances, seeing
me at work. stopped and invited me
to parties, asking after my family and
talked over things in general. Hitch
mixers stopped thumbing their way
for q while and discussed the picture

Boats are no better. Sailboats sail
away and steamboats, steam away and
even rowboats are rowed away from
the eager and half-fnished artist.
Low tide is a great help to the har-
assed artist, but even that is not q
surefire guarantee against the laws
of change.
Once, seeing fishing boat lying on
its side with the tide out / thought,
This is my golden opportunity.

Exactly at the halfway point Of my

something foreign arrived, rolled the
boat over and began painting her
bottom, which had been green, red.
Sometimes nets and sails are draped
over the boats to dry At the wrong

OF the best activities Of the Govern
ment In the field OF art. Primarily.
the paintings and drawings that have
been made for this purpose have q
real use and, secondarily. they have
been exceedingly well done. To the
surprise OF many. 1t has become mani
fest that we have in this country to-
day large number Of trained tech
nicians. capable OF doing illustrative
work Of this sort with the utmost ac-
curacy.
According to an official statement.
"the aim Of the index Is to plan and
do the groundwork for = Nationwide
pictorial survey OF design in the Amer
lean decorative arts-furniture, silver,
pewter and other metal work, glass,
ceramics. costumes, textiles, toys and
objects OF everyday use-from 1920
to about 1890. Basic material has
been assembled for q series of port
Iolios Of American design similar to
the European publications on dec
orstiye design. which are constantly
used by students. artists. designers and
the general public Interested in the de-
velopment Of the arts as exemplifying
cultural traditions"
THE w. P. A. artists (employed
because Of need OF work.. have made
record drawings in black and white
and in color Of objects in public and
private collections Where q
photograph seemed preferable, the
Photographic division was called upon
TO supplement the graphic rendering.
All drawings will be made available
for study. but none OF them will be
given for publication or reproduction
without the specific consent of the
owner OF the object. In no case will
specifications be supplied to manufac-
turers." For this reason scattered
pieces, which are treasured family
heirlooms. have been made available
This work has been going on all over
the country. and valuable background
material has been gathered In various
sections for general Use. For instance,
there have been specialized studies
made on New England textile design
ers, Shaker handicrafts and Spanish
Colonial material
In exhibiting this material at the
Public Library credit in every instance
is given to the artist who made the
original reproduction. Two OF the
artists in the present list are from the
District OF Columbia. They are E. J.
Sterling, who reproduced q sampler
of 1888, and Margaret Stottlemeter,
who did 8 fruit jar OF the last CEN
tury. Among others on this list are
artists from California. Louisiana.
Wisconsin, Ohio, Delaware, New York
and Connecticut.
No less than 1000 renderings have
been made, but unfortunately the
publication Of these plates is still
awaiting funds from Government sp-
preparation. In this work the utmost
care has been taken to uphold techni-
cal standards so far as the renderings
60, but in the choice of objects wide
latitude has been allowed, so that many
of those set forth are found to be
