Baltimore Solo
BY Edward Rosenfeld. Baltimore
painter we'll known here, one
man show has just opened at the
Whyte Gallery, to remain through
the month. It comprises the best
work I have seen by him, both in
earlier solo shows here, and in
group exhibitions.
Mr.. Rosenfeld's initial appearance
In Washington was one-man
show at the Little Gallery, George
town, in 1910. At that time he
seemed to set his palette almost en-
tirely with molaSses brown, and with
this woebegone color he got lot OF
pathos into his depictions of old
sewing machines, buckets and mops,
and other homely adjuncts of daily
life. In subsequent shows at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery 1943
and the Whyte Gallery, he included
Baltimore urban scenes and water
front studies.
In the current show we find Mr..
Rosenfeld on Cape Cod and else
where, looking at the sea, with side
glances at the circus and a few
backward looks at old tram cars, fire
engines and ferry boats. His in
terpretations are pleasing and in
some instances charming. Further
more, his color has ceased to be
monochromatic. His reports on the
varied blues of sky, sea and inlets,
for instance, range from warm tur-
quoise to cool light blues, in num-
ber of subtle changes. Among the
best things in the surf-and-sand
group are "Old Boats, Truro;
Fishing Shacks, Menemsha" (my
favorite of the collection. and
Beach at Provincetown." In his
circus series he shows us camels
and elephants being bedded down
and the interior of the cook tent.
The exhibition is definitely worth
while.
