Kyoto Vestments

An exhibition of veStmentS

indescribably beautiful. It
demonstrates that works of art
being made today are equal in
every respect to similar works
produced in past eraS. It also
testifles to the fact that the

support and encourage the
creation Of esthetic objects Of
the highest quality, as has

Japan, which has a history
dating from the 10th century.

All About Photographic Terms
By Alexander J. .Medderburn
curosor Of Photography
he Smithsonian lnstif,,fior


The Smithsonian institution
Here is another installment
in glossary of Photographic
terms. These terms. encoun-
tered most often in photo
magazines and books on
photography, are sometimes
susceptible Of interpretations
other than those given here
but our definitions will be re-
stricted entirely to the photo
graphic meaning.
A DAGUERREOTYPE Is a
photograph made from a proc
ess developed by the French
man. L. j. M. Daguerre, in
1889 and represents the earli-
est successful Photographic
process put to general use. In
the daguerreotype process, a
silver-plated sheet of copper
was cleaned and polished with
a buff. The plate was then
sensitized by action Of iodine
vapor and exposed in a cam
era. Development of the la
tent image took place when
the plate was exposed to the
action Of mercury vapor, and
permanent fixation Of the inn
age was obtained by washing
the plate in a solution Of
"hyposulfate of soda" Later
daguerreotypes were improved
as to durability by gliding the
plate with a solution Of gold
chloride which also acted to
improve the contrast between
the dark and light areas Of
the Photographic image.
Picture Copyright
A photograph may be pro-
tected by COPYRIGHT just as
may be creative writing. A
picture may be copyrighted by
application to the Copyright
Office, Washington. D. c.,
which, on payment of q fee,
will issue a copyright which
will restrain others from pub
fishing a protected photograph
without permission of the
copyright owner. There is
little in applying for copyright
protection unless there is rea-
son to believe the picture is
readily salable for publication.
ETCHING, in photography,
is the removal Of silver de-
posit from the negative or
print with a knife or other
sharp blade. When a subject
of a portrait has been posed
against a dark background, it
is possible to etch away a sag
ging chin and secure a more
pleasing outline.

(40 years old this year, oc-
cupy all three exhibition
rooms at the Arts Club,
through March 13. AS in for
mer shows Of this venerable
organization, naturalistic works
constitute a large majority.
The members are content to
select attractive scenes and to
transcribe them as they see
them. Most of the artists are
showing two or more works
each, in various media.
Henry Olson's oil painting,
Industry" received the silver
medal. He has turned a COM
monplace subject into a cheer
full composition, helped by the
natural beauty Of the setting.
Bronze medals went to Gus

FuIbrieht Exchange

Fulbright Act, less than
seven years old, has already
been recognized as an excep-
tionally enlightened perform
ance in the field of interna-
tional cultural exchange. BY
provision of that act, part of
the currencies and credits Of
foreign nations, which the
United States obtained by
selling surplus foreign proper
ty, is used to send qualified
Americans abroad, and to
bring to our country the cit
liens and subjects Of foreign
nations. In each case, the
travellers attend educational
institutions Of the respective
countries, and learn as much
as possible about them. OF
approximately 10000 grants
awarded, about one in II has
been in the field of fine arts.
The fruits of one exchange"
constitute the current exhibi-
ton at the Obelisk Gallery,
3241 P street, Georgetown,
through March Is. It is COM
posed of paintings by Sam
Fischer, a young New Yorker
recently returned from more
than a year in Italy on a Full
bright scholarship, and by
Manlio Guberti, recently ar
rived from Italy to begin his
year in the United States un-
der the Fulbright program.
ItoIion Theme
Italy is the theme Of all the
paintings. CuriouSly, Mr..
Fischer's paintings seem more
italian" than Mr.. Guberti's.
Mr.. Fischer was inspired by
the architecture of Italy. to a
large extent: Towers, door,
ways. arches, impressions Of
entire cities or large sections
of them, view Of Arezzo"
being particularly good. His
technique Is somewhat ex-
pressionistic. It involves the
use of collage for varied tex
lures, also black outlines, gold
and silver and generally dark
colors.
Mr.. Guberti's paintings were
inspired by the landscape Of
the Puglia. a region Of grand
eur and loneliness" to quote
Carlo Levi, but practically un-
known to the American tour
ist, hence not representa- ,
tive" no canals with gondolas,
no ruined forums or coliseums,
no cathedrals, ponte vecchioS,
etc. With the exception Of
"Matera." depicting the very
essence of the hill towns Of
Italy, these paintings might be
of our own Pacific Coast, with
an Italian accent. They have
clean, fresh color areas, white,
blue and gray tonality; they
are serene and undetailed. and
although Mr.. Guberti uses per-
Spective they have a simplif1ed,
-dimensional effect. It will
be interesting to see how Mr..
Guberti reacts to the United
States.

brighter than the surrounding
area, are caused by FLARES.
A flare is the result of an op-
tically defective lens which al
lows the reflected light of the
image to reach the film after
a number of internal reflec-
tions have occurred within the
lens. This results in the for
nation Of one or several Sec
ondary images which are no.
ticeable around the brighter
objects in the scene.
The FLASHGUN is an ac-
cessory used to expose film
with the aid of the flash bulb.
It consists of a tubular bat
terry case or holder with a re-
flector to disperse the light.
A f1ashgun may be attached
to the camera or may be fired
from a distance from the cam
era by using an extension cord.
The bulb is fired at the same
instant the shutter is tripped
so that the shutter is at its
greatest opening at the peak
of illumination. Flash pho
Biography is desirable when
light conditions are such that
the natural illumination of the
subject is insufficient for ade-
quate exposure or when added
illumination will give better
balance.
LENS HOOD is the name
given to device which is at
tached to the lens to protect it
from stray light rays during
the moment of exposure. This
is also known as a lens shade.
Uses Of a Mask
A MASK is a piece Of opaque
paper which is used in print
making to cover portions of a
negative so that light rays are
prevented from registering on
the paper. A mask may also
be placed directly on the paper
to prevent the unwanted rays
from reaching the sensitized
emulsion. In contact printing
it is often desirable to mask
off d certain portion of the
original composition to obtain
