The Eighth National Exhibi-
ton of Prints Made During the
Current Year" (popularly known
as the Pennell Show opened last
Monday at the Library of Con-
gress, simultaneously with the
Library's large sesquicentennial
exhibition. The Pennell Show will
remain through August. the ses-
quicentennial through December.
The Library announces that in
spite of the fact that no prizes
were offered this year. artists in
terest was greater than at any
time since the first exhibition. In
proof, it mentions that total of
1.410 prints were submitted by
628 artists, representing IS States.
the District and Hawaii, and
there were three from foreign
countries. Nevertheless, the dis
continuance of the three 500
prizes was a disappointment to
many artists, according to their
letters and own statements. The
public will recall that the Library
announced discontinuance of its
prizes in various art fields last
summer after the furor caused by
the poetry award to Ezra Pound.
However, a number of the prints
on exhibition will be purchased
as heretofore, by the Pennell Fund
Committee for addition to the
Pennell Collection at the Library
Iof Congress, prospect which
leaves some incentive for artists
lin addition to the distinction of
in the show.
!. This last is no small honor. OF
the l,4l0v entries, only 1873 prints
by 1874 artists "a few have two
works EACH were selected by a
jury of admission composed of
three well-known print makers:
Ernest D. Roth, etcher of New
York City; J. j. Lankes, wood
engraver of Hilton Village. Va, and
Benton Spruance, photographer
of Philadelphia. There are 78
Autographs in the show, IA etch-
ings and engravings, 36 block
prints wood engravings, woodcuts
and linoleum cuts), 10 serigraphs
and ! monotype. Nearly one in
four prints is in color. To be
eligible for inclusion in this ex-
hibition. a print had to be ex-
ecuted within the year immedi-
ately preceding it.
The exhibition is almost equally
divided between conservative and
modern works. although under
these general headings are many
variations, particularly in the
modern section, which ranges
from slightly left of center to nom
representational.
Technical accomplishment is
high throughout the show. There
are many beautiful prints Of
pleasing subjects Enthusiastically
represented; admirable prints in
which decorative elements are
stressed, others with textures en-
phasized, and the expected quota
of expressionistic items with loose.
clumsy handling.
Only three Washington area
artists are included: Jacob Kainen
and Jack Perlmutter of Washing
ton, and Ruth Starr Rose. of Alex
andria. Mr.. Kainen's abstraction
Shores of Darkness" is done in a
combination of mediums, aquatint,
soft ground and roulette. and is
