Report on improvements.
Concerning public improvements,
the report stated:
What construction costs will be
q year from now or five years from
now is largely a matter of specula-
ton. Before even a tentative pro-
gram listing projects to be included
in a f1ve-year capital program can
be prepared, considerably more
work and thought should be given
as to what are the most essential
items that must be provided.
"A hastily conceived program
purporting to be a f1ve-year capital
program for the county might be SC
far from representing the most
essential projects which should be
undertaken that such a program
drawn in haste, would be actually
misleading rather than informa-
tive. = .
"It is therefore recommended that
steps be taken by the Board OF
County Commissioners and the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission to pro-
vide and organize Planning Com
mittee or group that will afford
ample opportunity for civic asso-
Citations, as well as other groups and
individuals to present their views
indicating the several types of pub
lie improvements that appear nee
essary and also that estimates be
made Of the cost of the several prof.
ects or programs desired"

Corcoran Has Exhibit
On Latin American Natives

The Corcoran Gallery Of Art has
opened its new season with a one
man exhibition Of water cobors and
oil paintings by Carl Folke Sahlin
of Coconut Grove, Fla. He had an
exhibition OF earlier work in the
same field at the National Museum
in January, ,1945.
The present show is composed
of pictures painted during his wan
derings through South America
since that date. The majority Of
them depict native inhabitants,
mostly Indians, In their distinctive
and colorful dress. Mere than so
paintings are catalogued, not a few
of which have two works in single
frame. They represent Cuba, Vene-
zuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.
Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay
and Brazil. There are also two
paintings of Florida Seminoles.
The paintings are large and illus
trative in character, dealing natural
istically with the subjects as Mr..
Sahlin saw them. Consequently
there is certain amount of styliza-
ton, possibly subconscious, in his
treatment. Some of the pictures
would make good illustrations for a
book on types and costumes Of the
respective peoples.
II recall correctly Mr.. Sahlin's
show at the National Museum, the
present work is definite improve
ment from the technical standpoint
--bolder in color and more assured in
handling. The earlier exhibition

Forty men were dispatched. The
others stayed behind and built the
tower. 1t was primarily q church,
but also could serve as q fortress.
The north-bound group became lost
and wandered into Minnesota,

a passage of the State by lakes and

they came, chiefly from the Palat-

escape persecution. From the be-

Emotional Levels
OfSuccessive Ages
Show in Exhibition
BY Florence S. Berrymon

The Rosenwald collection at the
National Gallery Of Art has been
greatly enriched in the last year, as
may be seen by a visit to the spe-
cial exhibition of new acquisitions,
which opened last Sunday, to re-
main for two months. Although
about 40 high lights" of the show
were mentioned on this page a week
ago these constitute less than half
of the exhibition, which comprises
more than 100 items.
Viewed as a whole, the show pre-
sents a kaleidoscope glimpse of the
dominant intellectual and emo
tional atmospheres Of successive
ages, and of the general character
of different nations, as well as the
genius of individual masters.
The group of II miniatures on
velluln, from illuminated manu-
scripts, comprises the first items In
this category to be added to the
Rosenwald collection. They are
large, fresh and brilliant in color,
and In unusually good preservation.
These little paintings, dating from
the 18th to the 18th centuries, and
also the 18th century engravings
and wood cuts, are predominantly
religious in subject and reverent in
tone.
Turning to the etchings by Rem
brandt and other Dutch artists we
find interest in the ordinary people
and scenes of their own world.
Eighteenth century French prints
reflect the love of pomp and pag-
eantry of that period.
The 10Th century, which was pre-
eminently Frances in the art field,
is represented with prints as varied
as were the characters and crea-
tions of the Nations artists. Della
croix's lithograph, Combat Be
tween the Giaour and the Pasha"
(reproducedD, is a typical example
of the gift which enabled him to
carry romantic art to its maturity.
CThis lithograph, incidentally, IL
lustrates a passage in Lord Byron's
poem, THE Giaour.D
The classic realism of Ingres,
Daumier's social satire, the impress
sionistic naturalism Of Degas and
Mary Cassatt, Odilon Dedon's mys-
tic visions, are succeeded In the
last sections of the show by mod
ernists of France, England, North
ern Europe and the United States.
Some Of them are internationalists,
whose works reflect the chaos Of
our age, and present disquieting
contrast to the serene religious
faith of the earliest artists in the
show.

Silk Screen Work
At Whyte Gallery

luc Wuylc 1dllcIy b CuTTcIlJ Sx-
hibition of serigraphs by the Silk
Screen Group of New York, which
will remain only through tomorrow
is colorful show with prints to
appeal to a wider range of tastes
than one might imagine at first
glance.
The group is a nonprofit organ
ization of artists with particular in
terest in developing this medium.
1t was formed in 1910 by pioneers
in the use of silk screen as q fine
arts medium, although it has long
been used commercially, being a
method of making stencil color
prints. 1t is said that American
artists began to experiment with
silk screen in 1882. But rapid prog
ress and public notice date from
1888. when the Federal Art Project,
WPA, of New York, materially aided
the experiments.
The Whyte Gallery showed prints
by some of these artists several years
ago. The Division of Graphs Arts,
United States National Museum, had
an exhibition two summers ago, of
the process as used commercially.
And last autumn the Barnett Alden
Gallery had a one-man show of silk
screen portraits by Harry Sternberg,
a member Of this group, although
he Is not represented in the current
exhibition. Still other appearances
Of silk screen prints in Washington
have removed the novelty so that
one can Judge them on their merits
as works of art.
Despite wide differences in the
artists techniques, the exhibition
gives q general effect Of unity not
to be observed in a group show Of
oil paintings, for instance. But as
one examines the serigraphs, one
finds they range from abstract to
naturalistic, with many gradations
in between. Some have soft and
delicate colors which would har-
monize well with traditional in
teriors; others are bright and clash
ing, a third category is dark and
somber. Subjects, too, have con-
siderable variety.
Thirty-four serigraphs on view at
the gallery represent 10 artists. Ed
ward Landon has four-a sharp,
fresh New England village scene in
winter, and three distractions, of
which yellow Bat" with a golden
color scheme, has the most effective
decoratiave quality.
Robert Gwathmey's "Non-Fiction"
is social comment very much like
that OF his paintings in character
Sol wilson's two glimpses of working
men in dark-toned scenes, might as
well have been done in some black
and white medium.
