Prints have been receiving
much attention from Washing
tons art galleries recently.
The National Gallery Of Art has
rehung the exhibition Of old
master prints from the Gallatin
lbequest and latest Rosenwald &C
Iquisitions, which was opened the
end Of June, and temporarily re-
tired for the South African show
august.
The Corcoran Gallery Of Art has
opened its refurbished printroom,
with an exhibition Of important
18th and 18th century prints. and
Ia few later ones, the majority 1949
acquisitions.
The Pan American Union has
installed nearly so prints by three
engravers of Argentina.

Argentine Trio
The exhibition Of woodcuts by
three engravers of Argentina Is a
very pleasing one. The collections,
seen as a unit. have a homogene-
GUS effect. But when studied
closely, the work Of the three ar
lists is found markedly individual,
and the groups differ considerably
IN technique. "A
According to their biographies,
printed in the catalogue to be had
on request from the information
desk at the Union. the three artists
are in their mid-40s. Amadeo
DELI Acqua and Victor Rebuffo
have been attached to Buenos
Aires, and Alberto Nicasio to Cor
doba. The aforementioned i'm
pressed me as having made the
most finely cut and beautifully
finished engravings. His prints
have a nice distribution of black
and white, and their general effect
Us one Of exquisite precision.
Senor dell Acqua's prints are
somewhat coarser in cut. His COM
positions are carefully balanced, q
factor which gives them a feeling
of order and serenity. Senior Re-
buffo's woodcuts are the most
modern Of the three groups. with
such conventions as angular forms,
tilted lines and considerable
stylization.
Senor Nicasio shows several

lately been hung for public in
spection. And more rare items
have been added.
The gallery has been painted in
two tones Of blush gray. All the
cases of prints have been stored.
and these few items emphasized
by hanging with plenty of space.
1t is undoubtedly wise move; for
the fewer things exhibited tn a
given space. the more the public
sees, as proven by actual tests.
In addition to the handsome
mezzotint portrait by Peter Pei
ham dated 175O, the naive.
lusty. brightly colored Doolittles,
the incomplete engraving Of Ed
ward Savage's Declaration Of In
dependence" the charming hand
colored aquatint engraving by
John Hill, View Of Hudson" and
the superb etching and drypoint
by Duveneck and Mary Cassatt,
respectively. all Of which were
mentioned here before, there are
as many other key prints In the
survey, some added only this sum-
mer: and several outstanding
items from the Corcoran's collec-
tions. important in tracing the
development Of print making In
the United States.
The Gallery has lately acquired
q rare Paul Revere. a naive little
engraving Buried with Him by
Baptism. depicting Christ in the
river Jordan, watched from the
bank by q crowd in the costume Of
Revere's own time. with Heavenly
hosts floating overhead. Revere
was much more impressive as
patriot and more skilful as q sill
versmith; but his print-making
was an important facet Of his
career, and it is good to have this
example in the Corcoran's collec-
ton.
Engraving and lithography were
extensively used in the 10th cen
tury. to reproduce paintings. Ash
er B. Durand's "Musidora" (1825)

has the tonal effects Of a painting,
as has also the larger engraving
by James Smillie of Thomas Coles
painting Voyage Of Life, Child

q sentimental idea.

mediums for reproducing paint

Senor deli Acqua is primarily in
terested In people; with the result
that most of his woodcuts and
drypoints are concerned with

Senor Rebuffo's woodcuts reveal
the most Imagination and sub
jective interest in emotions and
abstract ideas. He deals with So

emotions C"Sorrow") and fanciful
notions as expressed in The Last

Of evidence to the theory that

Every Man to His Trade

An Australian, who had just ar
rived in New York after a long
trip across the continent, stood one
day and watched a sandlot baseball
game. His interest grew and grew
until he went so far as to ask to be
permitted to try his hand at it.
He trotted out into the field where
four players were shagging prac-
tice flies and stood with them for a
moment or two. Then a screaming
line drive came at him like an
express train. He put his hands
up with the intention of catching
it but the horsehide tore right
through his fingers and bounced
off his nose.
After the flow of blood had been
staunched he said, Thanks, boys,
but l guess it's little too danger
Gus for me-" He then proceeded
to catch a train for Niagara Falls
where he was scheduled to walk a
tight-rope across the roaring rap
ids.

The Sparrows won all three of

going on the Falcons and Cardinals,
who had been tied for the lead, were

for first place. The only other teams
to win three games were the Owls

The Robins took both team honors,
with single game of 555 and three

individual high game (139), but
Lewis had the high set (352).

Funny Stuff?
This Was A Quick Answer

This Was A Quick Answer
Henry Ward Beecher was once
in the midst of an unusually elo-
quent speech when some wag in the
audience, possessed of less good
breeding than spirits, crowed like
a cock. It was done to perfection,
and the audience was in a gale of
helpless laughter.
Mr.. Beecher stood perfectly calm.
He stopped speaking, listening till
the growing ceased. While the
audience was still laughing, he took
out his watch. Then he said slow
ly, as if in deep thought, "That's
strange. My watch says it is only
10 PM. But there can't be any mis-
take about it. 1t must be morning,
for the instincts of the lower ami
mails are absolutely infallible."
