Prints by Fiske Boyd

Twenty-three prints by Fiske Boyd
OF Summit, N. j., are being exhibited
IN the reception room of the Arts
Club. They are in various media,
with possibly emphasis on block
printing, and cover a rather wide
variety in subject. Florence From
Fiesole" is carefully studied tran
scription and well drawn. For the
most part, Mr.. Boyd's landscapes
are more pleasing than his figures.
Possibly, upon close examination
these prints would reveal hidden
qualities of distinction, but upon
the wall they do not carry well.
After all, prints are made to be
held in the hand and intimately
enjoyed-treasured rather than ex-
plotted,

Norman Kane (the latter director of
Wesley Hall exhibitions), introduce
a different aspect of Mr.. Nordgren's
work. They are all literally face
paintings" for the faces alone oc-
cupy nearly all the space given to
each portrait, two of the heads be-
ing cut of at the top. This conven-
tion is likely to produce claustro-
phobia in many observers.
Mr.. Nordgren, a native of Sweden
who came to this country as child
has lived in Washington for eight
years. Mr.. Arlt lives in Alexandria.
Both painters have studied art here,
at the Corcoran School of Art. Mr..
Arlt won two-year scholarship for
study at the Phillips Gallery's
Studio House, and Mr.. Nordgren has
for several years had a scholarship
at the Tiffany Foundation on Long
Island; the latter vicinity is the sub
ject Of number of his paintings in
the present exhibition.

Ohio, Miss Kay's home town; a fill-
Ing station on country road, a
group Of w. p. A. workers shoveling
snow on street-these have in
herently little to offer us and could
be utterly drab and dull, but as this
artist has painted them, they have
freshness and beauty, transformed
by the magic of light and the artists
vision.
And If such dull subjects as these
can seem alluring, what richness
may may be anticipated from ma
terial to be found on the Dalmatian
coast, in our own Southwest and in
Mexico! In this there is. no disap-
pointment, and as one passes from
picture to picture, assurance is made
doubly sure-each, if possible, SEEM
ing lovelier than the last.
Not only has Miss Kay chosen
her subjects well, but she has inter-
preted them beautifully. Her color
Is fresh and clear-it literally sings
her brush is free but very knowing,
every stroke is in the right place and
tells. 1t is by this capability and
knowing that she was able to give
her visions and emotions tangible
expression, and so manifest them
to us. 49,. ..t
If one could possess but one pic
ture in this exhibition it would be
hard to make choice, so even are
the works in merit and appeal.
There are some charming mountain
pictures-such as Mountain Mists,
Cuernavaca";; Mountain Road, New
Mexico" and Late Afternoon, Wyo-
ming'-but in Storm in the Tetons,
Wyoming" the artist attained real
dramatic splendor. Various in To-
Gale, but similar in. picturesque and
technical interest are Church in
Taxco, Mexico; Morning Shadows
in Ragusa" and French Street
Cafe" in all Of which beauty has
been enhanced and made poignant
by the skillful handling of light
and shade, as well as composition.
Hanging over the near mantel is
fascinating picture of a "Dalma-
tian Convent" seen through trees
with twisted boughs-a fascinating
theme rendered with decorative ef-
feet, while across the gallery on the
opposite wall is a very remarkable
study Of '"Old Ragusa From the
Walls" which ;testif1es eloquently
to Miss Kay's mastery Of drawing
and ability to give unity to a most
elaborate composition.
Remark should be made also of
number of water colors of streets,
residence lined, in little Midwest
towns, which, glorified by the au-
tumnal foliage Of their trees and
touched by sunlight. take their place
quite happily with subscriptions of
the wonder places Of the world. Few
