1ravesty Exhibit
AtCorcoran Brinqs
Art Nightmare
Students Rompont
With Ludicrous
interpretations

Corcoran Gallery School OF Art
students took time off today for a
bit of fun.
The latter took the form of take
offs on oil paintings in the Cor
coran Biennial Exhibition of Amer
lean Contemporary Art, now dis
played at the gallery.
Whether because of inhibitions
unleashed or love for fun allowed
TO run riot. the students of the art
school entered into the spirit of the
thing with zest and wound up by
producing some of the most insult
ing travestieS on the original paint
ings hanging sedately upstairs that
1t would be possible to imagine.
Vases VS.. Whisky Bottles.
The biennial prize winner. Sum-
mer Fragrance, by Franklin c..
Watkins of Philadelphia. had been
converted by one art student into a
repulsive looking affair. it's vases of
flowers filled with whisky bottles.
fly sWatters, old shoes and junk of
one sort or another A swarm of
flies buzzed over the crests of the
tender spring flowers, whose delicate
coloring caused the original to win
the $4,000 w. A. Clark Prize and the
Corcoran Gold Medal in the
biennial.
But the prize winner of the fake"
exhibit was a travesty done on
painting OF a semi-nude trying on
a hot h,,
Clemens. The most horrible exam
pie (this is written by a NAM of
the 1889 millinery art that can be
imagined is glued to the portrait.
The semi-nude is not in the least
attractive and. quite frankly. has a
face that nearly cracked the
photographers camera.
Creator of this horror of the art
world is Mrs. Helena Hall. student
at the art school and the wife of 1t.
w. E. Hall, stationed at Boiling
Field. A jury composed of Robert
Gates and Garrett Jex, Washington
artists, and Gene Elderman, car
toonist for the Washington Post,
adiudged her the winner.
Originator Of Exhibit Contributor.
Richard Lahey, principal of the
art school, who started the idea of
the travesty exhibit last year, con-
trlbuted a painting to the exhibit
as well. He travestied Maria Lucita
and Elizabeth" beautiful oil de-
plctlng two young women before a
dressing table. one standing and the
other sitting before the mirror. At
their feet is a large tabby cat. Mr..
Lahey's picture Mary and Lizzie"
depicts two large chimpanzees
primping themselves in similar po-
sitions and daubing themselves in
expertly with lipstick, while on the
floor the cat has given birth to
numerous kittens which are scam
pering in all directions.
And SO it goes, with approXi-
mately Is paintings all taking off, -
in one way or another, on originals
in the Biennial.
Perhaps the most striking trav-
esty of them all is on John c. Jo-
hansen's Morning" striking COM
position depicting sleeping man in
the foreground before background
of dark water and bare mountain
peaks. Over his head, dawn in the
form of a winged figure is slowly
causing him to wake.
Ruth Kern and A. P. Kunsack,
two art students, changed it to

rather ugly proportions is awaking
