Herald, was regular exhibitor here
with professional artists groups, and
also exhibited in other cities.
Besides exhibitions of the Wash
ington Water Color Club of which
she was member, those of the
Phillips Memorial Gallery were most
frequently the vehicles of her work.
She had studied under the late C.
Law Watkins. she had solo exhi-
bition at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art, and two at the Phillips Memoir
ial Gallery. which owns a number
of examples of her painting, and has
just opened unit memorial exhibi-
ton of her work in one of the print
rooms.
The themes of Miss Poe's paint
ings were imaginative mountain
scenes, in somber colors and some
times overlaid with calligraphic pat
terms. There is a feeling of ire
mendous remoteness and solitude in
her works, reflected in their titles,
such as "The Everlasting Hills" She
transcribed the essence of noun
tains rather than specific places.
Her peaks were never scaled by hu-
man explorers, her seas crashed
upon the shores of eternity. They
are truly haunting paintings.
Her relationship to Edgar Allen
Poe made it inevitable that critics
would compare the atmosphere of
her paintings with that of his
writing. But no one could say that
she consciously fostered any such
likeness. The spirit of her work
impressed me as entirely her own.
Early Architecture of South
An impressive exhibition of sew
eral hundred photographs by
Frances Benjamin Johnston of
Washington, depicting the early
architecture of the Southern States,
opened at the Library of Congress
recently in the large exhibition
gallery adjoining the Division of

end of November. This artist pho
tographer's work has been exhibited
in earlier shows at the Library,
which has many thousands of her
negatives, and at the Arts Club
and elsewhere.
The present show. devoted
primarily to the work of 1888 to
1941 under later grants from the
Carnegie Corporation, also illus
trates the full range of her work.
