This display comprises photographs,

as it was in 1899, and in contrast,
during the hideous years of de-

According to the booklet available
to visitors. Polish architects had
begun to make surveys and plans
for Warsaw's development long be-
fore the German invasion. Lewis
Mumford's introduction emphasizes
the opportunity" the widespread
destruction has provided for a COM

"a new kind of metropolis, a true

Art and Artists
: Pennell Exhibition Has 348 Prints
With 80 Purchase Prizes Awarded

ICnOgrapn, New Snow" (repro-
duced), seems to me the most beau
tiful. At first glance, it is an appeal
ing picture of New England's coun-
tryside, with an 18th century church.
But it is more than that; it is an ex-
cellent arrangement of lights and
darks, which gives it permanent
esthetic appeal, not just a nostalgia
sentiment.
Isabel Bishops etching, Moon
Hour" depicting two working girls
in earnest conversation, is more
direct statement, more specific
presentation of form, than one finds
in her paintings, such as 1.-TWO
Girls" which won second prize at
the Corcoran biennial last year. IN
cidentally, about one-third Of the
artists who received the Pennell
prizes for their prints, are as we'll or
better known for their paintings.
Paul Landacre's Dark Mountain" :"
wood engraving, is an austere SIM
plification of form, approaching the
abstract in appearance Another
wood engraving which fetched
first purchase prize is Flowers of
Westport." by E. Hubert Defines, who
received the same award in the 1943
annual. 1t is difficult to under
stand how this particular print
merits the honor.
English Artist Wins
Recognition for Print
1t may not be realized generally
that funds bequeathed by Joseph
Pennell may be used to purchase
prints by modern artists of any
nationality. The war and unsettled
conditions precluded the possibility
of this exhibition being interna-
tional in it's first four years. But
this fourth annual does include
work by citizens of four other
countries: Australia, Canada, Eng
land and Mexico. Englands Stanley
Anderson received a second pur-
chase prize for his beautiful little
engraving, "Hedge-Laying," exqui-
site in every detail, even to the
flight of birds in the distance.
Mr.. Anderson and other foreign
artists represented, have interna-
tional regulations. Lionel Lindsay
of Australia shows an etching,
Santa Cruz, Toledo" an admirable
combination of figures and architec-
ture. Nicholas Hornyansky of To-
ronto is frequently represented in
United States exhibitions. Miguel
Covarrubias, now of Mexico City,
lived in our country long enough
for many to regard him as an
American. He is best known for
his caricatures, which used to ap-
pear in Vanity Fair and other mag
azines. In the early '30s, some of
them were published in a book en-
titled THE Prince of Wales and
Other Famous Americans Mr..
Covarrubias is represented in the
present exhibition by a lithograph,
"Rumba," in which his gift for ex-
aggeration is used with humorous
effect.
