Capt. Stan HOdes
Suggests Solution
With Grain Of Salt

A letter from Stanley Hodes,
former resident Of Key West, now
q Captain in the United States
Air Force, was received by Pub.
Usher L. P. Artman. Hodes sent a
clipping concerning the CONVEX.
sion Of saltwater into fresh, an
article which appeared in New
Republic" recently.
Hode's letter follows:
Although HE Air Force had

the work Of Or. Walter Jvds Of

which has tremendous perspective
created by looking through an arch

(see picture.)
There is one strange quality
about her work which surprised
me, and probably surprised her.
She showed me boldly done paint
ing called Indian Dwellings," a
picture of adobe houses on the out
skirts of Mexican town named
Guiana juato. The houses have very
tiny windows or none at all. There
is the inevitable balcony, a side
terrace with decorative jars and
plants and a vista which seems to
beckon. Suddenly | asked, what
do the houses look like on the in
side?"
Mrs. Reilly's green eyes twink
led. $50 that's where your magma
ton takes you!" she exclaimed.
That's what happens when you
view her fascinating scenes. The
urge is born to step into a house,
fellow the roads, join the process
sions, walk in the market places,
talk with the people, wander up
and down the old terraced towns,
stop at the fountains to watch the
burdened burros file by. or join the
line as in Waiting For A Drink. :
where thirsty poems wait patiently
for their turn in a tavern and even
the donkeys seem to be doing the
same.
She has caught the warmth OF
sunlight, the GOODNESS Of shadows
and the brooding or bright mood of
the country. It's people, its locales.
Her way Of doing this is sure and
full Of what is known as "sympa
tico." There's humor, too, as in the
painting "Ox Cart" with an an
cient vehicle with wooden wheels
belonging to the centuries of pri-
mitive conveyance centered in the
work, and in the background, the
invasion Of modernity with a door
lettered ironically. "Coca-Cola."
These are wonderful paintings
fer tropical homes. for ranch nous
es and lodges. There is vital quail
ity to the mixture OF dignity
with gaiety. That is perhaps be.
cause such is the spirit of Old Mex
leo.
Especially timely is the oil called
"paracutin Volcano" This week s
Life magazine has a Photographic
layout on the scene. Mrs. Reilly's
Interpretation, is on the religious
theme. One white tower of ca.
thedral points like a finger TO hea,
ven, untouched by the advance oil
molten lava from the volcano
which has left all the other sur
roundings In blackened dismal des-
truction.
Her combination of color value,
virile construction. symbolism and
realism is an inspiration and an adj
venture into the realm of beauty.

By Dorothy Rsymer


A preview of preview might be
the subject of the interview with
Elvira B. Reilly who will debut an
art show at the West Martello Gal
lery, March II preceded by re-
ception-sh showing of her work tomor-
row, from 4 to 8 p. m.
ST. Patrick's Days choice for the
reception was partly influenced by
Artist Reilly's husband, DR.. Harold
J. Reilly who claims that the lie
of Reilly deserves that shamrock
touch. He added that he had rum
cd his wife's career in commercial
art by marrying her. Now he
said, "she paints for nothing" But
after IS years, she seems to enjoy
il!
Mrs. Reilly is a calm easy.golng
woman, al least on the surface,
who isn't afflicted with the temper
amental quirks usually, and often
enormously, associated with art
lists. She was born Elvira GenSeler
in Dusseldorf, Germany, where a
large colony of American painters
were wont to gather. Elvira is the
first of her family to take up the
brush. but the traits of artistry are
probably inherited. One OF her
grandfathers was tortoise shell
carver.
Elvira came to the United States
when she was about five years old.
Even in school days, she had the
ambition to become an artist, and
she studied diligently. Although her
hobby is painting she believes that
art!shduid betaken seriously before
| il b460;ne eaa hobby. Says she,
.:pa;naiaa- tina best friend a
person can have. It is something

VIGOROUSLY stand. offish in their ma
tives villages! The particular incl
dent with Seminoles happened IN
l949 and demonstrates Mrs. Rell-
lly's knowledge of practical psyhaco-
logy. She tried unsucceSsfully at
first to get a chance at sketching
the tribes people. Then she bought
scme crayons and when the child
| rem of the village gathered around,
| she distributed the crayons and
drawing paper. Before long. the
grown ups had also joined the
group, asked questions, made sug-
gestions and she got her poses with
no trouble at all. !.
The Reillys have Travelled all
lover Europe, Canada, Mexico and
| this country. Everywhere she goes,
Mrs. Reilly finds equally interest
| ing subjects for painting. Two
years ago, while in Mexico. she be-
gan work on the oilsowhieh are be-

the composition. the combinations
of form before beginning the real

is then finished with the selected
