AS the tercentenary year Of Swe-
den's first settlement of the Ameri-
can colonies draws to a close, 1t Is
fitting that another exhibition re-
lating to Sweden should be on view
to Washingtonians. A collection Of
photographs of Sweden and her
people, including his majesty, King
Gustav v and other members OF the
royal family, taken by Clara E. Sip
prell, constituted the exhibition
sponsored by the Minister Of Swe-
den and Nine. Bostrom, which was
opened at the Chalet Nonpariel Art
Gallery in Bethesda, Nd, last Sum
day afternoon, to continue through
December 10.
Many exhibitions have celebrated
the Swedish-American Tercente-
nary throughout the United States,
outstanding among them having
been the large exhibition of Swed-
ish arts and crafts sponsored by the
government Of Sweden, sent to this
country on invitation Of American
museum directors, and circulated
during the season 1937-38. 1t was
shown at the Corcoran Gallery Of
Art last spring. Despite the pres
ence In that show of paintings by
Sweden's greatest artists, the Swed-
ish peasantry (of many centuries)
dominated the exhibition. The great
majority Of the textiles, metalwork,
woodcarving and other crafts were
the work of the highly gifted COM
mon people Of Sweden.
Miss Sipprells exhibition Of
photographs celebrates the aristoc-
racy Of Sweden-aristocracy of in
tellect and of achievement as well
as of birth. Although many beauti-
full views Of Swedish landscape and
architecture are included among
tho pictures shown, the visitor will
doubtless be more impressed with
the great people Of Sweden, whose
nkeliness Miss Sipprell has captured
with what appears to be remarkable
fidelity and idiscernment.
First in interest is the group Of
photographs of members of the royal
family Of Sweden: His majesty the
King, . bust portrait showing him
in serious mood; H. r. H. Gustav
Adolf, the crown prince, smiling in
an informal pose in his library;
H. r. II. Louise, crown princess;
Prince Carl and Prince Eugen, one
Of Sweden's greatest painters. There
are also outstanding representatives
Of Sweden government (members
Of Parliament, both men and wom-
en); Of her church Erling Eidem,
Archbishop Of Sweden; education
Prof. Axel Hagerstrom, philoso-
pher, University Of Uppsala); arts
and architecture (Ossian Elgstrom,
painter Of Vikings, and Or. Bruno

plorer, and medicine. in Miss Sip
prell's gallery" Although an out
standing omission in the collection
shown is Carl Millas, Sweden's
greatest living sculptor who has re-
sided in the United States for a
decade as professor of sculpture at
Cranbrook Academy, Mich, he is
represented by a view of his famous
gardens and sculpture at his home
in Lidingo.
In an age when most nations are
hurting wholesale recriminations at
each other, Sweden seems to be one
country universally admired. One
neither hears nor reads viliflcation
of her. She appears to have solved
her problems with extraordinary
success, while other nations prob
lens merely increase in size and
number. AS one studies the faces in
Miss Sipprells photographs, it oc-
ours to one that perhaps they hold
part of the answer. These Swedish
faces are strongly individual, with
marked differences in structure: yet
certain qualities seem to be a COM
mon denominator: deep intelligence,
kindly reasonableness, an expression
of moderation. One encounters no
burning glances, no fanatic mysti-
cism, or other expressions ip which
emotion plays the leading role.
To capture not only individual
likenesses but also q racial quality
in these portrait photographs is no
mean achievement. For the chief
limitation of the camera in por-
traiture is the fact that 1t can record
a persons appearance and mood
only during the few seconds of ex-
posure, as contrasted to the portrait
painters opportunity during vari-
GUS Sittings, to discover the most
characteristic gesture and mood.
The 40 photographs Of Sweden
now on view at the Chalet Nonpareil
are being shown for the first time
anywhere. After this exhibition
these and 60 others, which Miss Sip
pren made in Sweden during the
past summer, will be exhibited In
New York City.

this instance seems to have realized
the difference between q work cut
in stone and one cast in bronze.
The nurses figure shows an essential
relation to what may be called
"the lump mass" The location
given this figure on the heights over
looking the Potomac and the city
of Washington is most dignified
and effective.
Burtis Baker Announces the
Opening of Art Glasses.
S. Burtis Baker, formerly vice
principal of the Corcoran School of

ever they wrought. But, in addition,

Phillips Memorial Gallery Lends
Generously to Tack Exhibition
In HagerStolDn.
The Washington County Museum
Of Fine Arts in Hagerstown, Md,
which is well within motoring dis
tance of Washington, is showing
until December 10 retrospective
exhibition of paintings and draw
ings by Augustus Vincent Tack,
including so examples executed dur
ing the past 30 years. This ex-
hibition was organized through the
cooperation of the Phillips Memo
rial Gallery of this city, the Metro
politan Museum of New York, the
artist and others. The Philips
Gallery lent a series of Mr.. Tack's
abstract decorative panels, as we'll
as the portrait of the late Elihu
Root. from the Metropolitan Mu-
scum has come his monumental
painting, I'm the House Of Martha"
and from the artist a number Of
his most recent works.
This little museum, completed in
only 1881, is well worth a visit for
itself alone. Its collection, consist
ing of paintings, sculpture and
prints, was in great part the gift
of the wife of William H. Singer, jr.,
the well-known American painter,
who for many years has made his
home the greater part of the year
in Norway, whose winter landscapes
he has painted with great distinc-
ton. This museum may also boast
q good reference library and a COL
lection of 1000 lantern slides and
other reference material.

sources is not to be denied. For
the furtherance Of his studies he
has been given a Guggenheim fel-
lowship which he held for the usual
period; he has exhibited extern
sively, and his works have been &C.
claimed by critical writers in various
art publications. As a rule 1t is not
fair to confuse subject with render
ing-but in this instance purpose
and theme seem to be one and the
same-the Interpretation Of strength
though violence-not at the best a
lovely thing to look upon or con-
template; nature at its worst rather
than its best.
Fourth Annual Christmas Sale
Exhibition Opens in Phillips
Memorial Gallery.
The Phillips Memorial Gallery will
open today in its print rooms its
fourth annual Christmas exhibi-
ton of works by artists Of WASH
ington, Baltimore and vicinity. This
exhibition will be limited to small
VA OACCAllCO, V1luAllU WA OAAC, oAk16sAA
water colors and drawings, none Of
which will be priced at more than
$25. Selections from the works sub
mitted were made by the staff Of
the Phillips Memorial Gallery, and
the intention was to uphold the
same high standard applied to the
gallerys other exhibitions. These
Christmas exhibitions under the
auspices of the Phillips Memorial
Gallery have in the past been ex-
ceedingly successful.
Paintings and Drawings by
School Children in T,Do
Exhibitions.
Two exhibitions of children's work
are in progress at present. One Of
these Is In the Children,s Federal
Art Gallery, 816 independence ave-
nue., the w. p. A. Art Center, and
the other is In the Public Library,
main building, Eighth and K streets
NV. The first consists of paintings
by Mexican school children; the sec.
ond by children in private art
schools In Washington. The art Of
Mexico has made a deep impress
upon the art of the United States
In recent years and it has taken
unto itself in Mexico q place as an
instrument of political propaganda
which no art before has ever occu-
pied-but when we examine the
work of Mexican school children
there does not seem to be very much
difference between 1t and that pro-
duced by children Of similar age In
our own schools-in fact, If any
thing, our own children make 1t
the present time better showing.

hibition Of paintings by Mexican

the art displayed. One of these

ostyle hall in the Temple of Kar-

Violence the Keynote of
Paintings and Drawings By,
Corbino at C0rcordn Gallery.
A collection of drawings, mono
types and oils on paper by Jon
Corbino of New York and Rock
port, Mass, constitutes a special
exhibition which opened in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art November 20,
to continue to December IL.
Corbino was born in Italy but
came to this country in early youth
and studied here with George Luks
Frank V. Du Mond and Daniel
CARRIER, at the Art Students League
in New York and at the Pennsyl-
vania Academy of Fine Arts in
Philadelphia. He is said to have
set up his own studio at the age of
II and to have maintained his right
to think and work for himself ac-
cording to his own convictions ever
since. 1t is undoubtedly this cour-
age and independence of character
that attracted the attention and ad-
miration of those who look for what
is different and worth while in the
field of art.
That he has strength and indi-
viduality none who sees his works,
now on exhibition here, can doubt,
but there is a question whether he
may not let these qualities run
away with him. When an exhibi-
ton OF Mr.. Corbino's paintings was
held not long ago at the Macbeth
Gallery in New York Ernest Brace,
in foreword to the catalogue, said
that violence was the keynote to
his work, and apparently this is so.
The violence Of personal forces
generated through disagreement"
attracts him, we are told, and 1t is
this element in life which he strives
to reflect. Hence he has painted
pictures of the terrors of food, of
earthquake, natural forces, of ami
NAL death by butchery, of animal
forces pitted one against another,
OF social forces in opposition quite
as cruel and ruthless. These themes
he has developed in great can
vases, composing them from his
study Of theme, and imaginative
insight.

Corcoran Gallery Of Art are per.

VoLNEY BURNETT will defend his
Maryland amateur golf cham
plonship over the Rodgers Forge course
near Towson, Md, on June "a, 25 and

We're announced today by the Mary
land State Golf Association.
The State championship this year
will 60 back to a three-day tourney
instead of the marathon route over
which it has been played for several
years. This year it will open with an
18-hole qualification round to be fol-
lowed by four match rounds, all at
18 holes.
For years a 36-hole medal round
has been followed by five match
rounds with the final at 36 holes. Five
lights OF 16 each will qualify.
One Of the reasons for the change
back to the old method was the slim
entry in the tourney at Manor last
year, where only 81 entered and
played.
