Greater Washington Sculptors

The Corcoran Gallery's presenta-
tion of Washington. Maryland and
Virginia sculptors in the first Dis
trict showing of their work as a
group, is a gratifying event. art"
to most people is synonymous with
paintings, for the reason there are
many more pictures than works in
the round, and the ratio Of exhibi-
tions of paintings to those Of sculp-
ture is astronomical. Sculptors have
become the Cinderellas of the art
world, because their materials are
more expensive, their creations
space-filling (hence hard to trans
port, comparatively difficult to show,
harder to house than picture,
consequently less often purchased
by the home-owner) and lacking
the ready popularity of paintings
with their eye-catching color. So
by it's offering Of sculpture for four
weeks, the Corcoran Gallery is mani

The winner Of the Muth prize of
$25, Lilli Gettinger of Washington,
for her bas-relief self-portrait in
bricks, has produced something
new-under-the-sun for me. Appar-
emily she obtained from a demoli-
ton project a small section of brick
wall, complete with mortar, and cut
her portrait about twice life-size;
UNIQUE, but hardly fiattering.

la decade, is showing IS recent
paintings at the Phillips Gallery.
She is one artist whose work is in
no danger of being confused with
that of any other, for hers is q
blend Of the primitive. whimsical
and fantastic. The aforementioned
quality is not so apparent in the
present group, half of which is
composed of flower and still-life
paintings. among which the unob-
trusive Iris" seemed to me the
most satisfying.
1t is regrettable that Miss Gross
apparently has abandoned Alto
gether the way she saw things some
six or eight years ago. I recall o
painting of that period depicting q
milkman making deliveries in early
dawn-a commonplace subject, but
done with overtones of freshness.
innocence and wonder. Also her
colors then seemed brighter and
cleaner.

prints in a method developed by
himself and named "Perltone
prints" The results have the ef-
feet of modern line cuts, block
prints or pen drawings. Some are
white line on black, others the
reverse.
The quality Of Mr.. Perlmutter's
work Is uneven, which is not sur
prising, considering its quantity.
But in view of the vitality Of his
better items, one wishes he would
edit his output more critically.

expect of him. White Sails" and

unable to determine. Card Play

addicts of card games, although Mr..
Perlmutter's trio seems to be play

make q unique and appropriate
prize for an appreciative winner Of
any card game.
