Work of Noted Spanish
Artist at Whyte Gallery

No one can deny this artist
originality in color and design ele-
ments, also in his technique and
use of materials. He is no purist
limiting himself to a single medium
and treatment in any given paint
ing, but an experimenter seizing
upon any means he finds useful in
expressing an emotion. Some of his
conga paintings utilize natural back
grounds; others have gold grounds,
or elaborately painted surfaces COW
cred with stars or similar designs.
His figures are sometimes painted,
again scratched into the surface;
they may be merely suggested by
broad sweeping strokes, or composed
of many lines, and in several in
stances, are peppered with a finely
ground substance resembling mica.
Two of the paintings have real sea
shells brightly colored and glued to
their frames.
The artists own interpretations
Of his paintings, translated in a
catalogue of the exhibition, are not
likely to help the observer, in most
instances. Concerning one of his
shell-decorated works, for instance,
he says, Everything curls wisely
in spirals as in the chaos of a be-
ginning world"
This is reminiscent OF Gertrude
Stein and will doubtless enchant
devotees of modern poetry as well
as Of painting. Some Of Senior
Junyer's comments on his paintings
are more intelligible, and his choice
of words seems inspired, as in THE
screaming confusion reddenS and
whirls away"

By Alice Epersman.

The French composer, Gabriel
Faure, has been featured on Victor's
list the past two months. First
came a release of his beautiful
Requiem" and last month OF his
Sonata No. in A Major" played
by MiScha Elman, with Leopold
Mittmann at the piano. Outside Of
his songs, the works of Faure are
less well known, although the
Requiem" has gradually gained in
favor with choral groups.
This recording is made by Les
Disciples des Massenet, Goulet,
director; the Montreal Festivals
Orchestra, Wilfred Pelletier, con-
ductor, with Marcelle Denya, So
prano; Mack Harrell, baritone. and
Roland Roy, organist, assisting.
The peculiar individuality of Faure's
Requiem" lies in its tender and
hopeful mood. Not as dramatic as
Verdi's or as somber as Brahms
the funeral service has touching
quality that is more comforting
than the others. Traces of Gounod
can be discerned, especially in the
lovely Sanctus, which resembles
that of the st. Cecilia mass, writ
ten six years previous to the first
performance Of the Requiem"
The chorus gives an excellent
presentation and Miss Denya makes
the "Pie Jesu" an exceptionally
outstanding bit Of the performance.
Only In the offertoire does the
smooth flowing lyric mood change
to Q gloomief and less- inspired note,

Appearing in the dual role
Of pianist and composer, Percy
Granger returns for one Of his
frequent appearances with the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra this
afternoon at 4 o'clock in Constitu-
ton Hall. The disciple of Grieg
will be heard with the orchestra
under Hans Kindler's direction in
his masters piano Concerto in A
Minor" as we'll as In his own suite,
I'm a Nutshell"
The concert will be further
marked by the first performance

Review of Recordings

for the remainder is kept on the
heights without effort.
The Sonata" composed about
eight years before the Requiem, u
is more stilted in form and even
the poetic reading which Elman
gives cannot make it as pleasing q
work as that of other French writ
ers. 1t fills a gap, however, in
sonata composing, coming in a
period between Beethoven's and
Brahms output that included only
two sonatas by Schumann, three
sonatinas by Schubert and the
Franck opus. The similarity of
style between the Belgian and
Frenchman Is striking, although
the Franck work followed 10 years
after that of Faure.
The dramatic, rich tone of Elman
Is subdued to a more lyric color In
this performance, so much SO that
1t is hardly recognizable as his.
The effect. however, is much more
refined and more artistic than when
the. Elman temperament has full
sway.

Joan Junyer's paintings of con-
gas. exhibited at the Whyte Gallery
until next Sunday. introduce to
Washington the work of an artist
counted among SPANS foremost.
The exhibition will doubtless be-
wilder many who view it, for these
paintings are not factual. they do
not show us how the conga dancers
appear to the average eye, nor are
they beautiful from the standpoint
of the average person. They are
essentially contemporary in char
acter, and appear to be based upon
the emotions aroused in the artist as
he watched the natives of the West
Indies performing their savage
dances.
Needless to say, the discreet YER
sion of the conga which is familiar
to Americans and popular among
the younger set, is a very different
affair from that executed by its
originators. A sense of rhythm and
suggested motion in Senor Junyer's
paintings will be obvious to those
who study them, but these works
will doubtless be appreciated and
understood most easily by persons
able to abandon themselves to emo
tional delirium. One imagines, for
example, that the high school "jit-
terbugs" who danced up and down
the aisles Of q local theater a few
years ago, when their favorite swing
orchestra was performing land who
evoked much alarmed comment from
their elders would be admirably
equipped to comprehend the Junyer

purest delight Of the esthetic sensa-
ton of touch. It is described as
'jun,' which means soft, like morn
ing dew or gentle rain. but 1t also
means an elegant, glossy surface
1t is q quality which corresponds
with harmony in music or grace in
movement"
This leads to consideration Of the
important part texture plays in the
arts generally, as for example in
painting and sculpture, or among
the crafts, in silver smithing and
fabric weaving. In each of these
it is not the material in itself which
tempts the fingertips-the sense OF
feeling-but the way it is employed
by the artist or artisan.
Subjectively the Estoppey collec-
ton covers much ground. There are
exquisitely carved cups with covers,
bottle-shaped objects. figures of
lovely ladies in flowing robes, OBJ
jects for purposes of many sorts
but almost never for utility. In fact,
practically all have been produced
for beauty alone and 1t is for this
that they have been treasured.

vailing influence upon music in the
United States before any American
composers had become known. The
second half will consist of a new

At the opening Of this exhibition
the gallery was decorated with
palms; there was music, and q very

for interest in and love Of art,
usually attend such affairs.
Estoppey Jade Collection
A rare and very charming collec-
ton Of jade. amassed over a con-
siderable number of years by
Georges Estoppey. is now on view
in the National Museum under the
auspices Of the National Collection
Of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
These exquisite works, carved with
all the perfection OF craftsmanship
Of Chinese workmen, are exceed
ingly varied both in color and form.
They were not for use, but sheer
beauty, the possession of those who,
having wealth, acquired them as a
tangible evidence of high culture,
in an age controlled by considera-
tions Of rank and ceremony. Each
piece was a rarity and their owner
ship q distinction.
There were three great periods in
which jade was carved and espe-
cially priced. The San Tai and the
Han (down to A. D. 22D, the Tang
Sung CA. D. 618-127D and. greatest
Of all, the Ch'ien Lung "a. D. 1885,
1866. 1t Is from the last of these
periods that the examples in the
Georges Estoppey collection come.
In ancient China jade was con-
sidered the most precious stone, on
account both Of It's variety Of color
and its delicacy Of texture. Includ-
ing with jade and jadeite, the colors
are not only extremely varied, but at
times two or more occur in the
same piece. This gave the caryers
additional opportunity for display
l1lS LklClE NALL, tLlC uCoiSIi CdltCO
being adapted to the variation. For
instance, yellow jade may be mixed
with green or green with gray. AS
a rule we today think OF jade as
green, but it may just as well be a
cloudy blue or dark red or a milky
white, not to name all the varia-
tions Obviously as witnessed by
the jade now on view, the subject
carved was always made to accord
with the coloring.
The other quality Of Jade which
has made it so greatly priced is that
Of texture. Unfortunately, in val
liable loan collection such as this
the exhibits can be seen but not
touched, but no one can see them
without experiencing an Irresistible
desire to reach toward them and
touch. John Ferguson, who has
spent many years In China and Is
q leading authority on Chinese art,
has said, Just as painting is appre-
ciated by sight and music by hear
