Early Prints.
More than 200 American historical
prints gathered not only from the
Library's extensive collections, but
from other sources, with maps, doc
uments. photographs, books, old
sheet music, circus posters, and
many real objects, such as rifles
and powder horns actually carried
by pioneers, their tools, early Bibles,
and models of the covered wagon
and the iron horse" give a vivid
picture of Americas yesterday.
Currier g. Ives Autographs bear
the main pictorial burden of the
show Among those on view are
many of the best prints, which when
they frequently turn up at art auc-
tions. fetch prices in four figures.
Their primary value. of course, is
the fact that they so faithfully de-
pict aspects of life in this country
century ago. But in addition.
many of these Autographs have
artistic merit, a feeling for our
far-reaching landscape and good
composition.
When in the late l920s Grant
Wood, John Steuart Curry and
Thomas Benton won fame in tram
scribing the life around them and
became known as the leaders of the
American Scene" paintt,s. the fan
fare that greeted their achievement
would have led the unwary to as
sumo that never before in our
Nations history had any American
artist painted the life of his own
time.
Yet Currier a. Ives (and they were
not unique in this respect) won a
permanent place in American art
because they concentrated on the
American Scene" One has only to

The monograph on WinsloW
Homer was written by Washington

of the section of fine arts, Federal
Works Agency. He has to his credit

American artists, and was for 1C
years editor of The Arts. The pres
ent monograph is an informal, SYM
pathetic discussion of Homers life
and work and his significance. He
concludes that Homer had that
most important of gifts for the
painter-creative vitality" Homer
seems to be rather tight Tipped
subject to deal with, whose life was
literally his art and offered few
ingratiating incidents or picturesque
behavior. Hence the reader will
doubtless feel closer to the painter
by studying his work than by read
ing his biography.
Thomas Eakins is regarded by Au-
thor Roland Mckinney as an out
standing realist and the father OF
the American scene school OF
painting. Eakins was cheated OF
some of the success due him because
OF his penetrating honesty and his
analytical portraits of people who
wanted to be f1attered.
Whistler is undoubtedly the most
interesting of these artists as a sub
ject, because of his colorful and
eventful life, which Mr.. Lane man

Notable Exhibition
On View at Library
OF Congress
By Florence S. Beyryman.

20 Pioneers!" is the title of ar
Inspiring, engrossing and intelli-
gently planned exhibition which
opened at the Library of Congress
the last week of November, as an
nounced here November %; but
which to date has not received more
than paragraph or so in any local
paper $50 far as the writer is alvarez
This undoubtedly is due to the OPEN
Ing In quick succession during the
past six weeks of so many exhibi-
tions of much shorter duration.
% Pioneers!" Is the largest dis
play arranged by M. Joseph McCos-
ker since his appointment last sum-
mer as consultant in exhibits for
the Library. In this capacity he
comes to Washington every week
from Philadelphia, where he is
director Of the AtWater Kent Mu-
scum. 20 Pioneers!" occupies 81
cases in the entire north gallery
on the second floor of the Library.
1t is composed of material drawn
from the rare book collection, mu-

documents, and also the reading

torical, as would be expected, but
1t has many esthetic aspects and Is
a good example of the correlation

raphy and other phases of our
complex civilization.
Upon entering, the visitor Is
greeted with a disarming flower

duction to the show written by
Archibald MacLeish, librarian of
Congress, which is a little master

men and women 1Dho believed
the promise OF the ne1D and un-
knoUn 1Dorld-1Cho believed in

The exhibition drew its inspira-
ton from Walt Whitman'S poem,

ring lines in it, as for example, the
seventh verse:
