Cor(oran Art Gallery
Opens Popular Price
Exhibit Tomorrow
Wide Artistic and
Pocketbook Appeal
In Unique Showing

More than 100 pictures and sculp-
lures were placed on display today
in specially reserved room by the
Corcoran Gallery of Art for tomor-
rows opening of the gallery's novel
popular price" exhibit.
They were selected from more
than 300 entries yesterday by a spe-
cial six-man jury of laymen and
artists. The jury was actuated in its
choice by consideration of whether
they would appeal to the average
citizen and would look we'll hung
in the average living room. Prices
are to run from s. to $50.
c. Powell Minnigerode, director OF
the gallery. and Richard Lahey,
principal of the Corcoran School of
Art. described the exhibition today
as being of a type virtually unheard
Of among American art galleries
and museums.
Artistry With Economy.
This is the first TIME to my
knowledge that gallery in this
country has sponsored an exhibit
every item of which is priced within
the purse of every one and which
at the same time. is composed of
original works of artistic merit
Mr.. Minnigerode said.
The pictures chosen range in
theme over a wide field. There
are portraits, landscapes, character
studies, still lifes, ships. government
buildings, street scenes, etc.. Few
are large. Large paintings, insult
able to hang in a small room, were
discouraged.
Several different media were used
including oil, water color, pen and
pencil, etching and engraving The
sculptures are mostly in bronze and
plaster and in most cases are fig
ures or heads.
Exhibitors have been limited to
students of the Corcoran School OF
Art and alumni of the school gradu-
ating within the last 10 years.
Also Aids Young Artist.
Besides being an undertaking to
interest the public in the arts. the
exhibit is designed to give a boost
to the young artist, who finds the
road to self-suff1ciency in his pro-
fession a rough one.
Gallery officials today expressed
the belief that the wealthy, in the
past the patrons of the arts, are
either unable or disinclined entirely
to support the fine arts today and
that art should be designed for
popular consumption as well as for
limited few.
AS the jury passed on the con-
tributions to the exhibit yesterday
they expressed satisfaction over the
quality of work represented. They
said the offerings were of high merit
both from the standpoint of art and
of popular appeal.
The display will be open to the
public at the gallery from tomor-
row until Wednesday, December Z.
