Abstract Art
Special Exhibitions at Public
Library and Phillips Gallery.
An out-of-season midsummer
madness seems to have overtaken
exhibitions of art scheduled for this
month In Washington. The Public
Library. which, while very generous
In its patronage Of young local art
lists mas been rather conservative in
its displays, is exhibiting, for the
month of March, abstract paintings
by Katherine Munroe and color
prints from its reference lending
collection of works by cubists, alb
stract painters, surreausts and the
like-which may arouse wonder, but
are pretty sure to perplex those who
take them seriously and try to find
them reasonable. And, opening
week ago in the print rooms Of the
Phillips Memorial Gallery, to con-
tinue through April !, are on view
hand-colored etchings by Rouault,
Illustrating lie Cirque" and room
full Of examples Of abstract projects
executed In the art school under the
tutelage Of Karl Knaths, visiting in
structor.
To use art to mystify and to stress
the ugly is q strange enough thing
In itself, but the spread Of the prac-'
tice throughout the western World
is stranger still, especially as it finds
no favorable response on the part Of
the general public. Like q scourge
1t has swept galleries and studios,
until the whole stream Of production
is sullied by 1t. and the very word
art becomes q travesty. To q great
extent the incomprehensibility Of the
movement and the works exploited
by a powerful coterie, made up Of art
dealers, collectors. prize juries and
art museum directors, has been con-
ducive to the strengthening of the
fabrication, for that which is not
understood is often accepted as pro-
foundly wise, particularly when, as
in this instance, advocacy has come

kept pace with execution Of the
self-imposed task. And this Is well
for administration, tempered by tech
nical discipline and balanced judg-
ment, Is bound to bring forth the
best results. In this connection, 1t
is interesting to know that Mr..
Comins has kept a written record
of the making of these portraits, in
cluding facts gathered incidentally
as the work progressed. Especially
is this valuable, for, do what we
may to preserve Indian life and art,
we know these people are, indeed,
a vanishing race, as they cannot es-
cape the leveling influence of limit
less internationalism or those forces
which science has released and can
not control.
Several Sponsors.
Not only is the current exhibition
sponsored by the Secretary of the
Interior, but also by the Ambassa-
dors of Peru and Mexico. the Min
listers of Guatemala and Bolivia and

German said the proposed tax on

that consumer prices would be in

them" He said organized labor's

did not see how the Patman bill
