Hope Rothbun Executes
NeedIework Portrait

Hope Willis Rathbun has lately
completed a fascinating picture of a
lady of China, Wang-Chao-Chun, q
great beauty, who, according to
legend, was forced to marry Tartar
chieftain to whom, once wed, she
made a faithful wife, declining offers
Of rescue and return from those who,
unwittingly, had sold her into bond
age, little dreaming how beautiful
she was. This picture. full of charm
and Oriental feeling, has been
wrought not with paint or pastel or
etching tool, but with silks, crepes
and satins, cut in small pieces and
most skillfully appliqued with tiny
invisible stitches. The gown the lady
wears is essentially Chinese and
regal, delicate in color-blue and
pink and green-but much enriched
by the finest hand embroidery.
Mrs. Rathbun insists that she can
not draw with pencil or paint with
Q brush, but with needle her crafts
manship is impeccable and her
painting all one could ask. 1t is an
extraordinary thing that, with these
materials, she is able to infuse into
her work individuality and spirit.
The little lady of much courage,
whom she has summoned for us from
the past, is very much personality
vital, reserved Furthermore, the
composition as a whole is good,
simple, significant; and the color
scheme, in this instance high-keyed,
is particularly pleasing. Primarily,
Mrs. Rathbun has instructive feeling
for decorative effect, with which she
combines originality of conception.
To this work of which she has made
q speciality she gives the very appro-
pirate name of "Cloisonne Satin"

National Gallery to Display
Marine Hospital PAINTINGS

Two hundred water colors pur-
chased through an open competi-
ton by the Section of Fine Arts, to
be placed eventually in marine hos
pitfalls, will be shown in the National
Gallery of Art, the exhibition OPEN
ing with a private view at Sis pm.
Wednesday. These, with 100 others
which already have been placed,
were, it will be remembered, selected
by an expert jury and acquired at $50
each last December. They came
from artists from all parts of the
country, the majority of whom were
completely unknown here. After
being shown in the National Gal
lery-in a room set aside for cur
rent exhibitions on the basement
floor-the collection will go to the
Cleveland Museum, the Detroit In
stitute, the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts and the Whitney
Museum of American Art, New
York, before final distribution.

Marjorie Phillips to Open
Exhibition Here Today

In the Phillips Memorial Gallery,
there will open today an exhibition
of recent paintings by Marjorie
Phillips, shown last month in the
Bignou Gallery, New York, and IA
vorably reviewed by the critics of
the art press. Not only will this
exhibition include landscapes and
still-life, in the painting of which,
up to now. Mrs. Phillips has spe-
cialized, but portraits and figures,
among which will be a portrait of
Mr.. Phillips and a painting of boy
With a Guitar"-both declared to be
notable canvases.
Mrs. Phillips comes of an artistic
family, Clifford and Reynolds Beal
being her uncles-her mothers
brothers. She studied first at the
Art Students League, New York,
under Boardman Robinson and
Kenneth Hayes Miller, but her real
masters have been the master of
the modern French school so well
represented in the Phillips Gallery
collection. Undoubtedly, she has
profited also by her husbands
aStute critical sense as well as en-
couragement, but in whatever she
does she is essentially individual
and herself. From the first, she
has shown exceptional talent, keen
perception of values, a prediction
for color in modulated tones, SIM
pie, straightforward way of seeing,
and a no less direct and sensitive
manner of rendering. And, quite
reasonably, she has met with sue
cess. Her paintings have been
shown in the more important ex-
hibitions held in the Art Institute
of Chicago, the Carnegie Institute,
Pittsburgh, the Denver and Worces-
ter Museums of Art, as well as the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Gen.
tury of Progress, the Golden Gate
Exposition and the New York
Worlds Fair. She is represented
in the Whitney Museum of Ameri-
can Art, New York, the Museum of
Yale University and in the Phillips
Gallery here.
This exhibition, set forth in the
main gallery on the second floor,
in which have just been shown the
Augustus Vincent Tack decorative
panels, will continue until the end
of the season, which is now by no
means far off. At the same time.
in the print rooms, a collection of
drawings and etchings by Picasso
will be shown.

this month, in its club room at the
Grafton Hotel, its annual exhibition
of works by local members, paintings
in oil and water color, drawings in
black-and-white and prints, in con-
nection with which, during the past
week, prize awards have been made,
as usual, through the Isabel Ander-
son Fund, established some years ago
for this purpose.
The winners were as follows:
Oil paintings, first prize to Cath
crime P. Melton for a portrait study
entitled Manuel of Taxco";: second
prize to Alma Fivaz for "Old Oak
Tree" and honorable mention to
Angie Weaver Wright for "Masana
Tanaka-Honolulu," a decorative
figure painting. Water colors, first
prize to Rosamond c. Gaydash for
painting, done on a gray day, of
Catfish Alley, Charleston, S. c.;
second prize to the same artist for
study of Hibiscus" growing, and
honorable mention to figure sketch,
"Repose," by Donna Crabtree Black
and white, first prize to Josephine F.
Danforth for an illustrative drawing
in wash entitled "a Lecture About
Liver Ills and Pills; second prize to
Minnie L. Briggs for an etching Of
Steps to Prospect Street" Mrs.
Briggs also won honorable mention
with an etching in color. FLORIDA
Hibiscus"
The jury of award was composed
of four local artists, non-members:
Catherine C. Critcher, portrait
painter; Susan B. Chase, water coll
orist; Roger Rittase, landscapist, and
Benson B. Moore, painter-etcher.
The group commended the exhibit
ton as a whole, declaring the work
shown in advance of that previously
set forth on like occasions. Taken
all in all, the exhibition is more pro-
fessional in feeling and standard
than heretofore. Especially interest
ing paintings of Negro life in the
South are shown by DR.. Florence
Everhart Grace Ruckford also
makes interesting contribution, as.
in addition to the paintings re-
ceiving award, do the prize winners
and others.

Old Washington Is Subject
OF New Pictorial Map

The art of map-making has lately
been revived, and certain pictorial
maps made which merit praise and
distinction. Such is a map entitled
yesterday in Washington-1790 to
1900" drawn and illustrated by
Jeanne M. Hogan in collaboration
with Thelma E. Fryer, who made
the research essential to historical
correctness. Practically every his
torical landmark seems to have
found both textual and illustrative
inclusion, from Cow Town" to the
end of THE Island" and from
Georgetown College to Clark Mills
foundry on Bladensburg road, where
the statue of Jackson, in Lafayette
Square, was, after many mishaps,
cast in bronze from cannon cap
tured in the battle of New Orleans.
An enormous amount of work must
have gone into the making of such
a map as this, but, in spite of the
many, many drawings of houses,
trains, wagons, boats and people, a
city thoroughly alive, the design is
not cluttered or confused. Every
school should have a copy.
Evening star., 1941-05-11

they and their clients may know
precisely where, in the matter OF
commissions, both stand.
An interesting fact in connection
with this exhibition is the number
of painters represented whose
names are as yet little known, but
who, in the works submitted, show
earnestness of purpose and rather
unexpected strength. On the other
hand, however, there are works by
painters as well known as Robert
AIDES, Nicolai Cikovsky, Marguerite
Burgess. Robert F. Gates, Theodore
Kane, Sarah Baker, Sheffield Kagy
and William H. Calfee.
Elaine Hartley, Sarah Baker, Will
liam Thompson and Robert AIDE
contribute portraits done along aca-
| demic lines which have strength and
individuality, as well as technical
skill, to commend them. Mr..
Cikovsky is at his best in a portrait
of woman in red dress, rendered
| in a manner somewhat reminiscent
of Van Gogh, but with better bal
ance-an ugly transcription, but
powerful and personal.
Herman Maril's contribution is a
pair of little portraits painted with
exaggerated eccentricities. There
are several notable little portrait
studies, among which is a half
length of woman by Gates, ex-
hibited before, but well worth show
ing again. Some of these young
painters have studied at the Cor
coran School, others belong to the
Phillips Gallery group-but they
seem to me, as it were, with one eye
in the best sense of the word, they
are modern-of today. Obviously,
today may not be altogether pleas
ant-most certainly it is not-and
the habit of turning the eye inward
upon oneself may not lead to the
happiest results, but this is the cur
rent fashion. Paint and personal
experience are declared the charac-
teristics of contemporary art by
those who sponsor the new move
ment. Where this path will lead
none can tell, but that allowance
should be made for free expression
as well as experimentation goes
without saying. Because of afford
ing these privileges. this exhibition
is of special note. 1t will continue
to the end of the month.

mother holding a little grandchild
on her lap, the much-lined face of
the former etched with great pre-
cision, that of the latter expressed
by a few telling strokes, and the
two constituting a lyric of infancy
and old age, tenderness called forth
by helplessneSs. Robert Rey, for
merly of the Luxembourg Museum,
Paris, in an essay on the etchings
of Heintzelman, has referred to this
feeling as "a sort of poetry of kind
ness" particularly as manifested in
his interpretations of the aged.
This preoccupation," he says, with
the exchange between kindness COM
ing from old age to the world, and
tenderness going from the world to
old age, is something very peculiar,
very captivating to us Occidentals
of the Old World. 1t is one of the
constituent elements of the Anglo
Saxon famille soul, which is not
ashamed to express openly, in its
literature. in its poetic traditions,
the charm of this give and take"
Again, this is the charm to be
found in the little Portuguese girl
of a fisherman.
The issuance of fine prints by
our master etchers of today to lay
men listed as subscribing members
is undoubtedly doing much to ex-
tend the interest in the graphic arts
and cultivate appreciation. Such
prints are not sold in the open
market The plate being purchased
by the society which gives its pub
lication, such prints made there
from are the exclusive property of
members to whom they are issued.
Both artistically and intrinsically,
they, in almost every instance, far
exceed in value the amount sub
scribed by way of membership fee.
This is unique instance of profit
to all concerned.

Newspaper Women Display
Mildred Browns Portraits

An exhibition of pastel portraits
by Mildred Brown, shown two davs
last week at the Newspaper Wom-
ems Club OF Washington to invited
guests, is open this afternoon to the
public. The club, of which Kath-
arlne Brooks is president. recently
moved to new quarters at 1904
Twentieth street NV.
Miss Browns work is straightfor-
ward and unpretentious; her aim is
obviously to obtain likenesses of her
subjects, and her success in realizing
1t is indicated by the individuality of
many Of the 25 portraits on view.
The majority of her subjects are
children, of whom there are SYM
pathetic and appealing sstudies.
Among them are those Of Diana
Hopkins, daughter of Harry L. Hop
klnS, and Jeanne Brown, grand
daughter of the late Gov. Joseph M.
Brown of Georgia. Portraits of
adults include two of Mrs. Frank B.
Freyer, wife of Rear Admiral Freyer,
U. S. N; Ralph Totten, first United
States Minister to South Africa, and
the artists parents, to mention only
few. There is an engaging por-
trait of Theodore Tiller, jr., actor
and playwright well known here for
his puppet shows.
Miss Brown was society editor and
writer on four local newspapers dur
ing a period of II years. She sub
sequently studied commercial design
at the Abbott School, but gave 1t up
in favor of pastel portraiture. She
works from life and from photo
graphs, and in some instances, from
both. The portraits are done on COL
ored papers, chosen to harmonic
with the costumes and compilations
OF the subjects. In most of the por-
traits in the current exhibition, the
backgrounds are neutral, but sew
eral have gardens and interiors.

Out-of- Town Exhibitions of
Local Artists Works

Several Washington artists are
holding out-of-town exhibitions.
Eliot O'Hara's water colors of
Trees" which have been on circuit
for some time, are being shown this

emy, the oldest organization of its

whose work was lately shown in the
George Washington University Stu
dio Gallery, is exhibiting under the

and Canada. Paintings made in
Canada are the most recent, and
they impress one as being Miss
Hoyt's best work. They appear to
be faithful likenesses of the places
represented, hence beautiful per Sc;
and they are simple and clean cut in
execution. Most of them are oils,
done with conviction and verve.
Among the best are "WilloWs in
Springtime," in which the trees give
a triangular vista of water and slop-
ing hills; handsome view of
Mount Robson; The River of Mys-
terry" with a striking effect of mist
rising from the water; Mountain
Lake." painted in cool blues and
green's; ste. Petronille," a snow
covered village on frozen river in
French, Canada, and two little
paintings, Dawn, Columbia Ice
fields" and Mist Over the Noun
TAIN" an unusual effect which Miss
Hoyt said she saw only once.
Picturesque scenes in Yugoslavia,
France, Austria, Italy and Holland,
and single glimpse of England,
comprise about half her collection.
The majority of these are water
colors. She uses the medium in a
high key and rather dry color, gen.
orally speaking, and achieves con-
siderable carrying quality. About 10
of her European subjects represent
no Ia Vl1nnc1orri iv,-
cluding the fascinating old town of
Ragusa, a favorite of artists for
many years. Among the fresh
aspects Miss Hoyt secured of this
much-painted place is view of it
beyond "Windswept Pines"
Miss Hoyt's and Miss Bakers ex-
hibitions afford variety in subject
matter, for the formers work COM
prises chiefly landscapes, views of
cities and harbor scenes, while the
latter's interests are obviously people
and still life.
Sense of Reality.
Miss Baker has gotten convinc-
ing sense of reality into a number

small interiors with figures; boy
studying, a woman at a piano and
girl at a dressing table, all these
figures having their backs TO the OBJ
server; also in several still-life
paintings, including a dish of pears
and strawberries and peaches in
colorful pottery bowls on checked
table cloths. Especially good is
Peaches and Blue Vase"
One abstract still-life, Jacks and
Pine Cones" may have been in
spired by Andre L'Hote, under
whom Miss Baker studied in Paris.
Another of her still-life paintings
and several outdoor scenes also are
experimental in character and not
to be compared in effect and crafts
manship with the majority of her
works, which seem admirably real
lied. Her education in art has been
varied, including study at the Penn
sylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
