Productive Uruquuyun

Antonio Frasconi of Uruguay
has had more than 40 one-man
shows in the United States
and abroad, and is represented
in the collections Of 80 mu-
seumS and libraries. He is now
having a one-man show in the
Division of Graphic Arts print
gallery through June 20. His
work has been shown In Wash
ington in the Library Of Con-
gress Pennell shows (includ-
ing the present one) and trav-
cling exhibitions of the Brook
lyn Museums print ANIMALS.
Mr.. Frasconi is a print
maker of extraordinary pro-
ductiveness. He turned to the
medium only 10 years ago,
since when he has completed
260 editions of woodcuts,
mostly in color, along with
paintings and prints in other
media. Furthermore, his prints
are good, not the pot-boiler
type Of thing one might expect
from such prolificness. And
many of them are heroic-sized.
Jacob Kainen, curator of
the Division Of Graphic Arts,
says: "Mr. F'rasconi's work is
notable for its unusual quail
tiles Of design. its brilliant
but unobtruSive use Of wood
texture, and its warm human
feeling. Traces, of German
ExpresSioniSm and Mexican
social art are visible in his
work. together with an ORR
entail feeling for calligraplny.
These sources are completely
assimilated in Frasconi'S
unique personal style. in which
an oblique humor combines
with an atmospheric quality
unusual in this medium"
Mr.. Frasconi has avoided
begging down in a rut. There
is wide variety in the current
collection, including an excel
lent portrait of Albert Elm
stein. published by the +.
Princeton Print Club to cele-
brate the 72d birthday Of the
great physicist; some striking
modern prints using distortion
with guSto, as in Storm Com
ing" and Jumping Rope"
Several successive actions in
one composition); and repre-
Sensational prints (simplified
naturalism) such as the series
on the Fulton Fish Market,
and other wharf themes.
This exhibition is a small
edition of one being scheduled
for circulation by the Smith
sonian Institution Travelling
Exhibition Service.

mate Of what you think should
be the effective exposure and
then double 1t. The greater
risk lies in underexposure. Al
though this may seem q rather
haphazard way Of negative
exposure it Is about the only
workable method. If you are
doubtful you can always try
several shots-each at q diff
ferent exposure. Once you get
the knack' Of judging night
illumination it will come easy
when you meet like situations
on future attempts.
AS q rune any wind that is
blowing will die down by sun
set making 1t easy to give long
exposures without the blurring
Of subject movement. During
an extended exposure at night
persons or animals walking
across the path Of the lens
will make no impression on
the Aim. The only thing you
need be concerned with are
the lights Of passing auto
mobiles. When you see q car
approaching within range of
your lens just close the shutter
until 1t has passed; then re-
open it and continue the ex-
posure. For unusual pictorial
shots. however. you can leave
the shutter open as the We
hicle passes. The automobile
will not register on the film
but the headlights will leave
paths of light that trace the
course of the street. A high
angle shot Of a traffic circle
or cloverleaf made in this
manner will produce intrigu-
ing pattern effects caused by
the moving headlamps.
Use a FIoshIieht
If you want a human sub
ject in the foreground of a
night picture you can help the
existing light by Illuminating
the features with the aid of a
pocket f1aShlight. Care should
be taken to prevent overex-
posure Of. the face because of
the relatively strong light
thrown by the flashlight.
Photographic flash can also
be used for this purpose with
out destroying the effect Of
natural night illumination if
used without the reflector.
This should be removed from
the fash apparatus and the
lamp flashed without its aid.
We have a few other sug-
gestions for night photography.
Take your camera out Just
after a rain and shoot pictures
while the wet streets act as
reflectors of street and build
ing lights. Puddles of water
can be used for the same pur-
pose. During a storm place
your camera on a tripod in
front Of a window and leave
the shutter open. Any light
ming streaks will record on
the film. Fireworks that fea-
ture Fourth Of July celebra-
tions are another fine subject
for the camera fan. Simply
aim the camera where the
bursts are unfolding and open
the shutter for some excellent
pattern effects.

This critical analysis Of

NEW YORK-(NC)-A plea for
more foster homes for homeless
Negro children was made at a
forum of the Catholic Interracial
Council by Father Edmund r. Fo.

Charities.
Father Fogarty, director of His
Eminence Francis Cardinal Spell

for Negro children, declared that
organizations seeking to provide
homes for Negro children often
find their efforts frustrated by the
same community problems which
be set the average Negro adult.
Negro people want to take
homeless children into their homes
but most of them are caught up in
real problems themselves" he
said.
Foremost among these problems.

Girl Meet Prelate

MONTREAL, Que. (NC) - As
dignataries filed by to greet Car
dinal Paul Emile Cardinal Leger,
following a Pontifical High Mass
here, a young crippled girl sat in
her wheelchair in one of the jam
med side aisles.
The girl managed to catch the
eye of an elderly white-haired gen.
tleman who was near the Cardinal.
She beckoned to him and, when he
came to her, confided her earnest
wish to meet the Cardinal.
The gentleman responded eager
ly and guided the wheelchair to
the sanctuary steps. Cardinal
Leger, in the midst of greeting
guests, noticed the wheel chair ap-
preaching, interrupted the line of
those being presented to him, and
stepped down into the aisle.
He went forward to meet the
girl, greeted her and extended his
ring for her to kiss. Deeply NOV
ed. she thanked the prelate.
There was smile of satisfaction
on the face of the old gentleman
too. For he was Ernest Leger the
76-year-old father of the Cardinal.
