MUSEUM OF ART
OPENS EXHIBIT
New Collection OF Flower
Painting Displayed At
WPAProject

The Wilr ;ngton WPA Museum
of Art on Princess street opened
a new exhibition, consisting of
paintings of flowers that came
here from nine states, on Tuesday.
The museum is open to the public
daily from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. and
until 6 p. m. on Saturdays. There
is no admission charge.
All but one of the paintings are
of potted plants or cut flowers ar.
ranged in a vase, a glass or pitch
er with some decorative access
sories as a book or a cloth. Some
are Of luxurious bouquets, others
of a single flower or two. T h
subjects include many types Of
lilies, zinnias and geraniums, del
icate acacias, red poppies and va
riegated wild flowers. The yellow
poppy, which in thousands studs
the fields of California is painted
by Phyllis Shields, a native of the
state. From New Mexico come
four paintings by Pedro Ger
vantes, 25-year-old artist living in
the small town Of Texaco.
The flower painting, which is SO
popular today, had its origins in
the Netherlands during the 18th
century, when for the first time it
was common to devote an entire
picture to the presentation of
still-life. In this exhibition some OF
the artists are primarily interest.
ed in design, others are concerned
with the delicate beauty of each
individual plant form or the dis
tinct personality of the bloom.
There are dramatic paintings by
Howard Gibbs of Massachusetts
who depicts the red poppy and by
Tom Lewis of California who
paints the ginger flower. There is
sensitively painted bouquet by
Bumped Usui, and a refulgent
landscape with flowers by Charles
Campbell, of Ohio, who has called
his picture THE Cricket Song"
This exhibition is one of several
hundred which have been sent out
from the National Exhibition Sec
ton of the Federal Art program
in Washington, D. c., and will re-
main on view at the Wilmington
WPA Museum Of Art until h e
last of the month.
