First Piano
Quartet Opens
Cappel Series

The First Piano Quartet, COM
posed of four outstanding concert
pianists, will appear in Washington
for the first time when it opens the
Cappel concert series at Constitu-
ton Hall on Tuesday at $3.50 pm.
The appearance of this talented
group, reputedly the only piano
quartet in the world, promises to be
one of the most interesting musical
events of the current season. Com
posed of Adam Garner, Henry Holt,
Vladimir Padwa and George Rob-
ert, the First Piano Quartet played
it's first concert in November, 1910,
over a coast-to coast radio network
sponsored by the National Broad
casting Co. In pooling their talents,
the artists, each of whom is con-
cert soloist in his own right, present
a sensational ensemble that has al
ready demonstrated its ability to
render brilliant tonal effects.
The amazing scope of this ambi-
tious program will be more fully
appreciated when it is remembered
that virtually no original music has
been written for four pianos. Men,
bers of the quartet make all their
own arrangements of the classics
and although they have been per-
forming as quartet for but two
years, their repertory now includes
270 arrangements of the worlds out
standing works.
The complete program for the
opening concert follows:

Dora Reading" by John Koch, has
a contrastingly fresh and delicate
complexion as she lies in bed, alb

by William Palmer depict groups
Of sun bathers on beaches, in light
color schemes with blond tonality,
true likewise of Isabel Bishops
Nude" and the work of their noted
painter-instructor, Kenneth Hayes
Miller, who is also represented in
the show with a Girl Reading"
Several portraits of men are
markedly individual. One of the
best paintings on view is Alexander
James virile Siberian Cossack," in
his red blouse, his stronge face
modelled by the light, the whole

virtuosity. Louis Bouche's Mario"

man, lounging in doorway; his face
has the weary resignation of one
without future and not much
past" Dan Rhodes "Hod Carrier"

rather than as = portrait; the color
has Z chalky quality, giving the
figure the dusty appearance of a
construction workman, and his cap

is different from every other work
in the exhibition; it is thoroughly

Important Art
Exhibition at
Howard
By Florence S. Bergman.

Dy TtOyCWCC - ACI' J"~"s
When an artist paints portrait
to please himself he is likely to pro-
duce q quite different result from
that painted on order from patron,
as one may observe in the important
and stimulating exhibition Of "Un-
commissioned Portraits and Figure
Paintings" now on view at Howard
University Gallery of Art until De-
cember 81. The exhibition was Sc
lected by Forbes Watson, special
assistant to the chief Of the Gov
ernment's section OF fine arts and Is
being circulated by the American
Federation of Arts.
The artist who paints on commits
sion is expected to produce a pho
tographic likeness in most instances;
he is often under the necessity of
making that likeness convincing to
half dozen relatives of the sitter,
who appears different to each OF
them; furthermore, tn, subject gen.
orally wants to be painted in formal
fashionable attire, which may not
be so picturesque nor so harmonious
with his personality, as would be
some more casual costume.
Hence the self-portrait is great
comfort to an artist, affording him
maximum freedom to present the
truth as he sees 1t and his own per-
sonal vision. AS would be expected,
there are several self-portraits in
the present exhibition, by John
Steuart Curry, Kansas noted native
son and one of the American scene
trinity; by George Grosz, one of
Germany's greatest contemporary
painters who perceived the true
character of Naziism nearly 10 years
ago, came to the United States and
Is now an American citizen, and by
Ogden M. Pleissner, esteemed for his
admirable landscapes of the West.
Mr.. Curry's portrait has the un-
compromising naturalness of his
work In general; it is affable and
informal. Mr.. Grosz's vision OF him
self is among the most powerful
works in the show; his solidly mod
eled, ruddy face looks directly, at
the observer as If he had Just
glanced up from the violent scene
he is painting (of fire and disas-
teri. Mr.. Pleissner, on the other
hand, painted himself as Salmon
Fisherman" in manner that
should be acceptable to the most
exacting patron - handsome and
correct"
There are also several portraits
OF fellow artists, which must be the
next thing to the self-portrait.
Henry Varnum Poor's rugged cap
ture of Waldo Peirce shows that
robust artist In frowning medita-
tion, drawing on his pipe. Peirce
himself has portrait Of his wife,
Elzira, also an artist, whom he
depicts in their barn studio painting

Donbrighf Debut at
Phillips Gallery.

Sybil Bonbright's initial solo ex-
hibition opened last Sunday at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery, to re-
main until the end of this week.
She was born in Canada and re-
ceived her general education there,
but studied art at the Phillips Gal
lery for four years (until 1880 under
C. Law Watkins. Her exhibition
comprises IA oil paintings, portraits,
still life and cityscapes done in Bel
grade, Yugoslavia, Budapest, Hun
gary and Lisbon, Portugal, while
her husband was abroad in the for
eign service.
Her work is strong and colorful
and the exhibition in general, a
promising display. Two self-por-
traits, one head, the other three
quarter length, are particularly good
and searching lkenesses. They be-
stow conviction on two other por-
traits on view, Hungarian
Model" with an interesting face of
square bone construction, and
"Stoyan Garilovitch," truth-seek-
ing characterization of q middle
aged Yugoslavian, which is also a
study in browns Another portrait

Nine Portraits by
Negro Artists.

In honor of the annual meeting
last week at Howard University of
the Association for the Study Of
Negro Life and History, the Art
Gallery augmented the federation's
travelling exhibition with an inter-
esting group Of nine portraits by
Negro artists. Among them are
work by Joshua Johnston, born be-
fore the American Revolution, and
believed to be the first American
Negro painter; by william Simpson,
born In 1918, = portrait Of Carolyn
Loque, q thoroughly competent work
in the 10th century tradition; by
Annie Walker, born In 1855, and by
Edwin Harleston, who died only q
decade ago. The last mentioned is
represented with an admirable por-
trait head, entitled THE Old Colo
nel," owned by Howard University.
There is also portrait Of Booker
r. Washington, by Malvin Gray
Johnson, another promising Negro
painter who died prematurely IN
1894.
The remaining portraits are by
contemporary artists: Laura Wheel
er Waring, well known In Wash
ington: James A. Porter, instructor

Barbara, Calf; Saginaw, Mich; St
Paul and Minneapolis, Seattle and
Corvallis, Wash; Salt Lake City,
and Springfield, Ill. The exhibition
was made possible by loans from
seven New York City art dealers;
Associate American Artists, Kraus-
haar, Midtown, Mich, Macbeth,
Rehn and Walker, and in a few
instances, from the artists them
selves.
Mr.. Watson wrote a spirited edi-
torial on the subject of "Uncommis
stoned Portraits" which was pub
lished in the Magazine of Art at
the time this exhibition began its
tour. He said in part, THE portrait
offers to the artist one of the
really great fields of painting. In
the international period, at the
height of theorizing, it was easy
enough to dismiss the portrait as
unworthy of the creative artist
delving in the realms Of unlimited
free expression. But in the very
act OF setting forth likeness, there
are subtle problems Of abstraction,
elusive, difficult and profound.
We had to return to realities be-
fore the artist could attempt the
uncommissioned portrait In spirit
Of realism. Today the artist looks
again toward true portrait painting
When the client realizes that
the artist is not a lackey and the
portrait not a symbol of stuffed
shirt, he will turn to the painter
of uncommisisoned portraits and
give him a commission free from
compromise. There is no compro-
mise inherent in the sitter's want
ing a good portrait of himself"

Back Bends

This is an excellent exercise
but no mature person should try
10 do it quickly. Also dangerous
are rapid back bends. They
raised the arms and jerked the
body violently backward. The
n rps are supposed to be the
hinge but many Of them bent
the back at the waist line with
painful results.
This one class lesson was the
last for this mature woman. For
the next two weeks she was
hardly able 10 get about, her leg
and back muscles and even the
ligaments were all strained.
All this could have been
avoided if she had just told the
instructor she thought the exer-
cises too violent for her.
Instructors of such classes are
usually highly trained physical
directors, but 1t is difficult for
them TO Judge the endurance
limits of others. ~
Class lessons are a stimulus
for most of us and we advocate
them for m ost reducers. but
those who are beginners should
not let their eagerness to reduce
overrule their good judgment.
