Several Visitors
Have Arrived
In Washington
State Department
VIII Entertain Them
At Luncheons

Washington is entertaining
number of visitors from other
1ands-especially from those to the
are Senor Luis Gil Salguero of
Uruguay and Senor Oswaldo Guaya-
samin of Ecuador, both guests of
the State Department. They will
be in this country for several months
and during this week they will be
entertained at luncheons. Senor
Guayasamin will be feted Friday,
Mr.. Richard Pattee of the Division
of Cultural Relations of the State
Department to act as host. The
party will be given at the Carlton.
Senor Guayasamin is making his
first visit in this country, in fact
it is his first visit outside of his
homeland and he probably will be in
the States about three months.
He is an artist of considerable note
in Ecuador, his work being unusual
in its character and individuality
and he has been spoken of by critics
as the most original and imaginative
of the South American artists of
today. One of the best-knoWn me-
diums are his wood cuts and a num-
ber of his works have been pur-
chased by visitors to Ecuador from
the United States. Also there are
a number of his paintings in gall
leries in this country. He had an
exhibit of his paintings in 1941 in
the Caspicara Gallery in Quito and
1t was in that year that he was
awarded second prize in the Mari
ano Aquilera Exhibition. The fol-
lowing year he received the first
prize in that exhibition. During
his stay in this country he will visit
the leading art centers to become
more familiar with the art of the
United States.
Mr. Pattee acted as host for the
Division of Cultural Relations at
luncheon today, entertaining at the
MayfioWer in honor of Senor Sal
guero, who is a philosopher and
essayist of considerable note in
Uruguay and who is staying at the
Hotel Lafayette while in Washing
ton. He probably will lunch or dine
at his embassy before starting on a
tour of this country.
Another guest of the department
is Senor Fernando Ortiz, Cuban
jurist and sociologist. Senor Or
tiz is an authority on ethnography.
He was accompanied to Washington
by Sonora de Ortiz and they are
staying at the Hotel Washington,
having come to the Capital from
short visit in New York.
