By Florence S. Berrymon

Chapter Of the American Vet

a project in Southeast Washing

influence on art in the city. I'M
pressed with the lack Of art re-
sources in that part Of the city

Friendship House an exhibition of
original paintings in oil and water
color by Washington artists. The
show, expected to become an an
nual event, is now at Anacostia
Public Library and will visit four
other institutions in the Southeast
before March /. Most residents of
that section win have the show
within walking distance at some
time during its tour.
The project has the enthusiastic
Endorsement of DR.. Hobart ". Corn
ing, superintendent of schools, and
Of DR.. G. C. Wilkinson, assistant
superintendent. Southeast WASH
ington," they said in their fore
word to the catalogue in the trav-
cling exhibition, "has no art gal
leries, no museums, few studios, but
there are thousands of people with
deep emotional and spiritual hun
ger for expression"
Professors of art at Washington
universities are among those whose
works are included. Richard Lahey,
principal Of the Corcoran School
of Art. where courses are tied in
with George Washington Univer-
sity, is showing deep-toned Min
ing Town." somewhat reminiscent
of Harpers Ferry, with an all-over
pattern. William Calfee of Amer
ican University has entered fig
ure subject. Lois M. Jones of How
ara University has a flgure-and-
landscape painting. Laura Douglas
of Holton Arms School is repre-
sented by a harbor scene.
The exhibition ranges from
strongly conservative to radical
works. John Robinson's Land
scape" is almost Photographic in
its representation, the kind of work
one imagines will be a popular
favcrite. Kenneth Stubs harbor
scene of a lighthouse on gray
day, Carl Nyquist's sparkling Birch
Pond" and Frank H. Alston's sunny
April Day." all water colors, are
likewise appealing and well painted.
lack Berkman's large Street

depicting war subjects. 1t makes
bombed buildings more dismal by
it's red and warm blue-gray color
scheme. Typical of their individual
talents are Herman Marils bleak
little Snow" and Jack Perlmutter's
