Library Survey of Negro Art

A comprehensive picture OF the
many facets of contemporary Wash
ington Negro artists achievements
is afforded by the Public Library's S
exhibition, which will remain
through February %. The major
role Of Howard University's art
faculty and graduates is the out
standing impression one receives.
Photographs and biographies OF the
artists introduce them to the visitor.
Lois M. Jones, professor OF de-
sign at Howard, is the best known
of the university's faculty members,
due to her frequent participation
in group exhibitions here. She is to
have a solo show at the Whyte Gal
lery in April. At the Library, she
is showing several paintings. among
them a vivid oil portrait of Cuban
actress and water colors Of local
scenes Gncluding her own garden
under snow.
James A. Porter and James L,
Wells have been associate professors
of art at Howard for approximately
two decades. The former is showing
two portraits of apparently the
same young woman, simply but
soundly executed. BY Mr.. Wells are
several Of the wood cuts for which
he is we'll known. Otto McLarrin,
now publicity director at Howard,
has contributed two admirable pen
drawings of Negroes. BY Richard
Dempsey are two near-life-size por-
traits of Negroes, done in black
,crayon or chalk. Albert J. Carter,
curator of Howard's art gallery,
shows q still life with tones OF red

of the show belongs to the years
1912 -l945.
Six noted contemporary artist
illustrators are represented in the
exhibition: Stevan Dohanos (who
has depicted exotic natives in re-
mote places; Andre Durenceau,
Glenn Grohe, Frank Cowles, A. j..
Kurka (animals, insects, undersea
life, BIRDS and Gordon Grant, we'll
known for his paintings of the sea
and ships, who executed a colorful
reconstruction of Viking ship.
The original paintings are not
very large, but are brilliant in color,
exquisite in craftsmanship. meticu-
lous in detail. They bear the closest
inspection. If there is a major i'm
preston derived from the many an
nual exhibitions of the Art Direc-
tors Club of New York City, 1t is
that the artists engaged in the COM
mercial field are top-notch drafts
men capable Of the cleanest-cut
precision.
The public will undoubtedly like
these paintings of wildlife, which
will be on view through March l,
except on Saturdays and Sundays.
