Windsor Castle
Paintings Timed
For Royal Visit
By Florence S. Berrymon

Well-timed in view of the

the Corcoran Gallery's exhibition
Of views of the exterior and in
terror of Windsor Castle more
than 100 years ago, painted by
Joseph Nash when the Princess
great great-grandmother and her
royal consort were occupying it.
The exhibition was opened Octo-
ber 10. with the presence of Lady
Franks, wife of the British Am
bassador. It will remain through
November IL.
Nash (1808-70 was exhibiting
with the Old Watercolour Society
in 1885. His forte was the depic-
ton Of medieval buildings and
scenes, done with meticulous pre-
cision and enlivened by figures in
the costumes of the respective
periods, and in some instances, as
witness the current display, like
nesses Of the historic personages
associated with the places repre-

Several collections OF Nash's

Market Art Mort

The art mart sponsored by
Center Market City (announced
here three weeks ago. just before
its opening) for the benefit of
Children's Hospital Completion
Fund. is composed of 233 paint
Iings. drawings and prints, and a
few sculptures and pottery.
Twenty per cent of the proceeds
from the sale of works priced from
IS to 500. will go to thefund. which
is still about $4,000 short of its
goal. The remainder goes to the
artists. as the market manage
ment will take no commission or
fees.
In view Of this worthy objective,
lit is regrettable that so few of the
Washington areas professional
artists participated in the show
II saw meritorious works by
William F. Walter. Theodore
Kane. Shirley Lichtman. John c
Rogers and Elizabeth Searcy
There are also effective paintings
and drawings by a number whose
names are not familiar to me:
Merle Foshag. T. r. Wright. June
walters. j. Aleksandras. and a
few others.
| But these are almost lost in a
welter of works by amateurs and
Iprimitives. Sub-matter of most
of the paintings reveals love OF
beauty by those who painted them
but the hard outlines, meticulous
details and other characteristics
Of lack of competence add up to a
disappointing show.
1t would seem advisable in a
future undertaking Of this kind
for the committee in charge to
set a higher standard. unless the
objective is to give as many per-
sons as possible an opportunity to
show their work. regardless OF
whether it merits showing.

Colfee Honored

American UnlverSity'S art de-
partment chairman. William H.
ICalfee. has just begun his. year
of sabbatical leave. The Univer-
sity's Watkins Gallery is present.
ing his first Imam show there,
|of oil paintings, gouaches and
drawings and a piece or two
Of sculpture, totalling about 40
works. These comprise loans from
the Phillips Gallery and II pri-
vate collections, and from the
artist.
Mr.. Calfee is too well known
in Washington to need an intro
duction. Long a resident, he has
been active in professional ar
lists organizations. and has ex-
hibited in group shows for more
than a decade. He was in the first
group to be given a 1-man show
at the Corcoran Gallery in 1948,
has also had solos at the Whyte
and Crosby Galleries here, the
Weyhe in New York. and most
recently. the Little Gallery. Bir-
mingham. Michigan. In the spring
lof 1850, he had a large 1-man
show at the Baltimore Museum
Iof Art.
American University's presi-
dent, Paul F. Douglass, has writ
ten a tribute to Mr.. Calfee in
the invitations to the opening
October 13). He says in part,
Calfee's "own development as a
creative artist has carried him
from the sympathetic realistic
depletion Of human beings and
the small creatures, birds and
animals. Of life. to more abstract
works Of greater scope, integrated
by strong fluent movement. and
Iconceptually rooted in the poetic
side Of mythology and anthro-
Ipology. If his search for a more
significant expression is some
times difficult for the layman to
follow, the intense sincerity of
his work is so evident that it
nevertheless evokes from the lay
man respect for that work"
There is certainly do doubt that
Mr.. Calfee's progress toward abb
Istraction has taken him a long
way from the public's easy COM
Iprehension of his work a decade
ago. In the case of some Of his
paintings in the current show
which are not titled, it is doubtful
whether many people would be
able to guess what was their
inspiration.
AS the show includes work of
six years or more. there are sew
eral of the admirable ink and
wash drawings of animals he did
in the mid-40s. more complex
but still easily recognized varia-
tions on such themes as frogs and
owls, the simple and beautiful

Gallery.
OF this years output, his BLACK
and White" abstraction and the
larger version Of Flooded Wood"
with its feeling Of deep water and
darkness under the trees with
filtered light in arabesques. i'm
pressed me as outstanding. "Musi-
clans" too C49) is excellent, an
abstraction vouchsafing the shapes

iup the study of piano and violin
begun SO promisingly In his home
town Of st. Louis. Mo. When he
got around to deciding his future
however. the theater attracted
him and he went to the Univer-
sity of North Carolina to study
how to become playwright. The
Carolina Playmakers made him
welcome and some Of his one-act
plays were produced by them,
He ended up with an ABB. degree
from the University which had
among its board members the
celebrated Paul Green.
After a two-year service with
the National Symphony. he went
back to st. Louis to take over the
management of the st. Louis
symphony replacing Arthur
Gaines. In 1943 he was called to
head the Los Angeles Philhar-
monic. including two seasons in
Hollywood Bowl and some on-the-
side management Of Werner
Janssen's Symphony. Pittsburgh
then asked for him and he served
as the associate manager of its
orchestra during the last three
years of Fritz Reiner's conductor
ship. One of the highlights OF
this period was the orchestra's S
visit to Mexico. This was the first
time an American orchestra had
toured Mexico and it was given a
royal welcome.
Circle Ends in IA Years.
In the meantime. Mr.. Cappel
had left the National Symphony
to take on the management of
the Baltimore Symphony. His
death a few years ago left that
post vacant and an offer was
made to Mr.. Edwards to take his
place. In coming from the Of
flee of manager of the Baltimore
Symphony to the same position
with the National Symphony, Mr..
Edwards has completed a circle
that began with the meeting with
Mr.. Howe IA years ago.
His experience in different
cities and with different kinds of
musical audiences has given him
a wide perspective. He found that
the schools in Baltimore worked
more closely with the orchestra
for the children's concerts than
elsewhere and that the Los
Angeles Philharmonic had given
an incentive to composers, instru-
and singers by the
additions held in joint sponsor
ship with the city's radio station
KFI. Both these cities have the
advantage of the nest egg furnish
ed by the county support for the
California Orchestra and Balti-
more's municipal support.
He hopes to bring consideration
here of the Los Angeles idea of
year-round support in place of an
annual sustaining fund drive.
There, those interested in the
orchestra agree to be billed each
season for a stipulated amount.
The advantage of this system is
that workers are released from
contracting the same people every
spring and can seek out new sup
porters. Since assuming his duties
with the National Symphony last
April. the new manager has been
busy studying the situation here
and becoming acquainted with
the intentions of the Symphony
Association. With his realization
that this is a more dramatic"
than ever in the history
OF the National Symphony, he has
established note of optimism and
of conquest that should bring ex-
citing results.
