Religious Art
On Exhibition
At National
BY Florence S. Berrymon

The Christmas story. the
Bibles most hopeful and joyous
chronicle. was not, 1t seems, the
one with which Christians of the
Middle Ages were preoccupied.
That they took their religion
solemnly, and meditated upon
the sorrowful passages In the
Holy Book, Is confirmed by the
exhibition, largely religious In
theme, at the National Gallery
of Art, through January. This
important display Of 18th CEN
tury graphic art. selected from
the gallery's Rosenwald collec-
ton, augmented by loans from
the Library of Congress, includes
woodcuts. broadsides. a famous
printed textile. block-books and
early illustrated woodcut books.
This is the first time that the
18th century Rosenwald mate
rial has ever been shown in such
a large homogeneous exhibition.
furthermore, no other collec-
ton, either public or private,
contains so many rarities in the
field Of early woodcuts. The
full span Of the 18th century is
In evidence, and the number of
prints before 1850 are of nar-
ticular interest.
This group contains an out
standing print, Alteration of
the Magi," one of the earliest
woodcuts known. Another happy
subject. the Marriage at Cana"
Is in the form of a textile, made
about 1400, an unusual example
OF printing from wood blocks on
linen, before paper was common
in Europe.
From the collection which Mr..
Rosenwald gave to the Library
Of Congress are loans of an
extraordinary group of block
books, the "Biblia Pauperum,"
the Apocalypse of st. john"
the cars Moriendi" and the "Ars
Memoranda" made In the mid
18th century.
Although most Of the prints
In the exhibition are of religious
subjects. such as were habitually
sold to pilgrims at the great
shrines, still a number of pop-
ular diverting pictures are on
view. The illustrated World
Map" designed by Hans Sporer
in Augsburg. is a compendium of
medieval knowledge and folk
lore. The graphic battle between
the Emperor Frederick III and
Pope Paul II for the balance of
power is a rare example Of an
early political cartoon. Sheets
OF Italian and German playing
cards indicate the popularity of
games, even as now.
The very large. unique wood
cut Of "The Cruciflxion," about
1460. recent discovery, is close
to the school of Roger van der
Weyden. Originally. it was prob
ably intended as a portable altar.

Sextet at Arts Club

Six artist members of the

More than 40 paintings, and

Gallery's print rooms. through

Students League instructor
works on a large scale, and any
one Of his paintings would re-
quire a wall to itself, if not a

These are strong, vigorous
works. semiabstract oils, done
largely in assertive colors. The
artist is obviously not worried
over the fact that few people
live in houses the size of the
Union Station Concourse, for his
painting are measured in feet

Upon A glorious day in
~ April, a. path leading
from the Virginia highway
lured me to a ridge which I
knew to be a section Of the
Potomac Appalachian Trail.
There I found trees leaflng
fresh green foliage. The dog
woods and redbuds were in
blossom and white trilliumS
bloomed among the many
exquisite spring flowers along
the way.
It was midafternoon when
I stopped to make a quick
sketch to record some of the
wealth of beauty around me.
The sun was casting long
shadows of the tall hickories,
oaks and gum trees. Around
them grew shrubs and grace
full vines entwining an old
fence line. To add to the
charm of the scene a rustic
gate hung open where a wind
ing road crossed the path
way. The beautiful Blue
Ridge Mountains formed a
purple background In the
distance.
Here was a section of a
long unbroken trail which
extends through mountain
wilderness for 1000 miles
through the Eastern Atlantic
States from Maine to South
ern Georgia. This skyline
route along the crestS Of
ranges was planned for wood
walkers who find their recrea-
ton out-of-doors In quiet.
pleasant walking, in solitude,
amidst magnificent scenery
where the music of wind in
trees and songs Of birds may
be heard under the open sky.
The National Appalachian
Trail was first suggested by

chusetts, a forester. philoso-

trail leads one over many
mountain peaks. From Mount
Katahdin, a huge monolith of
granite in Central Maine, 1t
traverses the White Noun
tains, the Green Mountains,
the Berkshires. the Adir0n-
dacks, the Poconos, the Blue
Ridge of the Alleghenies,
across the Cumberland VAL
ley down through Shenan-
doah National Park southwest
to the Great Smokes of North
Carolina. At the southern
end Of these splendid noun
tains, d cross range leads back
to their Eastern rim which Is
followed to Mount Oglethorpe
in Georgia. where the Ap-
palachian Mountains end
abruptly. Here at present Is
the southern terminus Of the
trail.
Among the trees in the
thick forests covering many
of the ranges may be found
countless sugar naples, white
birches, beech, oak, poplars.
white and yellow pines and
other glorious species. These
forests are the haunts of a
wide variety of wildlife, in
Guiding bears, panthers, wild
cats, deer and wolves. Often
smaller animals may be seen
playfully crossing the path or
peering from the trees. Rare
birds and exotic plant life
also fascinate the traveller.
AS I stood sketching this
scene on the Appalachian
Trail, I felt with the writer
who said: Remote for de-
tachment, narrow for chosen
company, winding for leisure,
lonely for contemplation, the
trail leads not merely north
and south, but upward to
the body, mind and soul of
man."
