number of minutes specified
in the directions. Agitate the
solution by gently rocking the
tank for the first 80 seconds of
development and repeat the
agitation for about As seconds
at minute intervals during the
remainder of the development
time.
When development time is up,
pour the solution directly back
into the bottle in which it is
stored. Then Immediately pour
the short-stop solution into
the film tank. This will stop
development and also prevent
the naturalization of the fix
ing bath by developer which
would otherwise be carried over
into that bath. Allow the
short-stop solution to remain
in the tank for about half a
minute and agitate during it's
stay. Then pour this into it's
bottle and you will be ready
for the final step.
This is accomplished by
pouring the fixing bath into
the film tank where it is al
lowed to remain for not longer
than 10 minutes. AS with the

allow the film to remain in
the fixing bath longer than
10 minutes or bleaching will

After the fixing bath has
been restored to its container
you may open the tank and
remove the reel of developed
film. Place the reel in a pan
or tray and wash for a half
hour in running water. Before
hanging up to dry carefully
wipe away all traces of scum
or residue which may be on
the film. This should be done

sponge. The strip of negatives

When all traces of dampness
have disappeared the indi-
vidual frames or pictures
should be cut apart and this
can be done with an ordinary
pair of scissors. Each negative
should then be placed in an
individual envelope or jacket.
On the outside of the jacket
any pertinent information may
be written-such as dates,
names, etc. It is also advisable
to make a contact print from
each negative and the print
should be pasted or glued to
the outside of the negative
cover or jacket so that a quick
glance will disclose the con-
tents. This will save much
unnecessary handling of the
negatives and will help you
find a particular film in a
hurry.

The Corcoran Gallery's 23d
Biennial of Contemporary
American Oil Paintings. inau-
gurated last evening with a
preview, and open to the pub
lie this afternoon. is the best,
in my opinion, since before
World War II. It seems to me
to emphasize the gallery's wis
dom in inviting outstanding
museum men to select the
show and award the prizes.
(Roland Mckinney. Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art, chairman;
Leslie Cheek, director of the
Virginia Museum, Richmond;
Bartlett H. Hayes, jr., direc-
tor of the Addison Gallery,
Phillips Academy, Andover,
Mass, and Hermann w. Will
liams, director of the Corco-
ran, ex officlo).
Directors and curatorS con-
cerned with contemporary art,
have the widest acquaintance
with what is being done today,
coupled with an attitude in
evitably more impersonal than
that of most artists serving
as jurors, no matter how gen.
erous, or conscientious the
latter may be.
Wide Variety
The 23d biennial literally
has everything. 1t has rep
resentational work of the most
minute detail; impressionism
is represented; also express
sionism, cubism, surreallSm.
satire, abstract and non-objec-
tive art and various offshoots,
derivaionS and individual ex-
periments. This incluSiveness
runs counter to recent ANIMALS
in other cities. I have seen
only two of these; but reviews
indicate that representational
painting has played an en-
barrasSingly minor role IN
most of them.
A statement by the jury in
the catalogue of the biennial,
has significant remarks rep
resentational and abstract
paintings. the value in all
idioms, about "stylistic ra-
tios," and the jury'S search
for quality above all else.
One aspect of the biennial
which usually starts a furor
is the proportion of invited
works to those selected from
entries. The gallery frankly
states in it's invitations to ar
fists that the biennial will
be partly invited, partly open,
in proportions not circum-
scribed. In the present bien-
NAL, of 226 works on view,
173 were invited, and ~ Sc
lected with the addition of
paintings by the Corcoran
school faculty0 A total of
$50 paintings were offered,
from AZ States and the Dis
trict; hence only l in 81 was
chosen, a slim chance for the
submitting artists.
Installation Good
The installation impresses
me as admirable. Abstract
paintings start with a heavy
concentration in gallery So,

About the middle of this east
ern block, middle -of-the-
road" and representational
works increase, rounding the
southern half of the atrium
and galleries. and culminate in
the strongly traditional group
in gallery ST. Hence it will
be easy for conservatives, lay
men and the avant-garde to
be separated as neatly as sheep
and goats, if they care to
search out the kinds of paint
ings they prefer.
Prize Winners
I cannot recall a biennial
when the prize awards did not
stir up some bewilderment.
This year is no exception. But
although many visitors will
find paintings in the show
which they consider superior
to the jurys choices. the
merits of the latter are OBJ
viouS.
Abraham Rattner's Com
position With Three Figures"
which won the first Clark prize
of $4,000 and the Corcoran
gold medal, is an abstraction
of brilliant iridescent colors
in mosaiclike squares with
which the figures are fused.
Hobson Pittman's "Veiled
Bouquet" (second Clark prize
of $500 and Corcoran silver
medaD is an exquisite ira
ditional painting, lovely in
color, and adroit in the hand
ling of flowers and shells be-
hind the sheer curtain.
Francis Chapin's Regatta
at Edgartown" (third Clark
prize of $1,000 and Corcoran
bronze medaD depicts a lively
harbor scene, full of fresh air,
sails in sunlight and SPAR
king water, all elements Or
ganized into compact de-
sign.

not a tourist'S-eye view, but
a personal expression, largely
abstract, which nevertheless
conveys the magnificence of
st. Marks and the Campanile,
executed in thick paint, with
lavish use of gold and silver.
The details, it is said, were
dug into the inpasto with a
pencil.
WeII-Known Artists
Quite a number of artists
with long established reputa-
tions are included with char
acteriStic works: The Soyers'
tired young girls, done in
somber colors; Eugent Speich-
er's Acknowledged blond. Reg
inald Marsh's burlesque queen
and her leering audience;
Waldo Pierce's exuberant fam
lily in the sunny out-of doors;
Robert Brackman's semi
draped nudes with fruit; Leon
Kroll's graceful young women
in a landscape; Morris Graves
fragile bird; Luigi Lucioni's
still life done in the meticulous
realistic manner which has
won him popular prizes, and
other well-known painters
with typical performances.
This group of variations on
familiar themes will probably
irk the devotees of continuous
change which they consider
synonymous with progress.
Personally, I enjoy repetitions
of good works. and prefer a
well-painted cliche to a half
baked improvisation, no mat
ter how unique it may be; and
I suspect many other people do
also.
There is so much variety,
vitality and interest in the
23d biennial that it is i'm
possible to do justice to indi-
