 Work Wins Praise
 Peter Rimsa is one of the most prominent sculptors of Lthuania. His creations are valued very high 1y not only in Lithuania, but also elsewhere. They portray the spirit of national Lithuanian art; they carry one into the realms of un- known, unexplored futurism. His portrayal of the Lithuanian school Another, spinning wheel, child, etc.), i, is considered the national symbol of the desire for education. "The Ploughman" has been acclaimed by well known authorities as his nas- terpiece, expressing true realism. His numerous medallions disclose the finegse of an accomplished artist.
 Press Comments
 Rimsa has already displayed his works at numerous exhibitions abroad. Tn the art circles of France, Italy, Germany, Russia, and, in the past ten months, in the United States, he has won the recognition of such authorities as Loreda Taft, Robert B. Harshe, Clyde H. Bur-
