Going back to the days when
downtown Seventh street was

In 1878, there were number OF
solicitors of patents and lawyers

Federal Building This firm later
moved to 916 F street.

Art
and
Artists
BY Florence S. Berrymon

The Arts Club now has one-man
shows by a native Washington artist
who no longer lives here, and a
Cleveland artist who has become
Washington resident. Both exhi-
bitions will remain through De-
cember IL.
Lee Atkyns. who had an art school
here for several seasons, also con-
Quoted a summer school in Puzzle
town, Pa, along with other activi-
ties. His enthusiasm over the AL
legheny Mountain village and its
environs grew to the point where
he decided last spring to live there
permanently. His plans for the
new art community there, were out
lined on this page last August.
However, he is retaining some of his
art ties with Washington, among
them his membership in the Arts
Club
His exhibition of more than 20
recent paintings, mostly oils, in the
clubs gallery, is pleasing and varied
the best show of his work that
have seen. 1t includes landscapes
of Pennsylvania countryside, still
life, interiors, a few Washington
subjects, distractions and imagina-
tive compositions.
Several serene landscapes are
among his most pleasing wor ks:
Blue Knob" Near Pavia" and one
or two others, far-reaching pano-
ramas. Outstanding among several
still-life arrangements is a very
large canvas with a violin, flowers,
vases and other elements we'll COM
posed and its interest sustained
throughout.
Mr.. Atkyns' distractions would do
better without their titles, in my
opinion, as these do not necessarily
convey the impression different OBJ
servers may derive from them. The
red and green Valley of the Shad-
ow," for example. suggested to me
some elemental plant growth. His
little Carnival lives up to its title
more successfully.
Finally, he shows several paint
ings of spiritual or emotional i'm
port, such as I'm Memoriam" and "1t
Is Done-I. Am Risen" In the
latter, it seems to me that the figure
Of Christ is dwarfed to insigniflcance
by the abstract diagonal forms radi-
ating from Him.
Nevertheless, the multiplicity of
Mr.. Atkyns' interests and efforts
augurs well for his future achieve
ment.
