Civic Art

Besides the important an

A number of Washington

a unique exhibition held last

gallery, among them the one

said to be the first of it's type
in America, traced, through
paintings, sculpture, maps and
plans, the growth of civic art
and monumentality from an

tury. These aspects Of city
planning developed by the Ro-
mans have had a tremendous
and enduring effect on the
Western world. The exhibits
were drawn to Yale from n1u-
seums and collections in the
United States and abroad.
Colonial America, which in

The story Of this beautiful
and heartbreaking novel can
be briefly told. An Afrikaner
police lieutenant breaks South
Africa'S iron law by possessing
a black woman, is discovered
and destroyed and all his fam
lily with him. AS recounted by
Alan Patton, the tale takes on
the qualities of a universal
tragedy, of the doom of every
man to whom love is denied
and whom pride makes silent.
Pieter van Vlaanderen is a
king of men, valiant, tender
and just. A war hero and a
rugby idol, he walks through
VenterSpan clothed in the re-
spect and admiration Of his
own people. To the black
people on the location he is
nothing less than a god.
Why then is Pieter gripped
by black moods, when no one
dareS approach him and when
even his gentle wife Nella can
scarcely speak to him. And
why did he fall i'll of a mad
sickness" that drove him to be
tempted by what he hated and
to "seize something that could
bring him no joy?" And why
was he unable to keep a vow
made in an agony of shame
and so bring destruction on
himself among "a people of
rock and stone in a land of
rock and stone?
The Message Is CIeor
That is what Alan Patton
seeks to discover in this noble
story Of a shining man
Shadowed by a hunger Of the
spirit. The meanings are end
less, but the message is clear.
How can we judge? Peters
doom Is told in lofty language,
cadenced and luminous and yet
relieved by passages Of light
ness and warmth that are
"like o moment of sunshine
snatched from a heavy sky"
Mr.. Patton, as readers of Cry,
the Beloved Country" know,
is an artist Of the first rank,
who writes with power and
delicacy from a conviction that
men are the children of God.
Perhaps his greatest inspira-
tion lies in his choice of a mar

At present, Mr.. Lahey's

sented and that local art
lovers who may be planning a
trip to Ogunquit will visit the

News of Artists and Exhibitions

The dominant impression I
derived from the second group
of Washington artists in the
Phillips collection, recently
opened at the Playhouse The
ater art gallery, to remain to
october IS, is the contrast be-
tween early and recent works
of some of the exhibitors. One
could name many painters to-
day who early in their careers
developed styles that satisfied
them, and who have conse-
quently adhered to them. But
not a few Washington artists
continue to experiment and
seek new ways to express
themselves.
Eight artists are represented
in the second show, most of
them by two or three water
colors or prints, one each from
the Phillips collection, the
others available to prospective
collectors. BY Paul Arlt, for
mer Washingtonian, now edi-
torial cartoonist for the New
York Herald Tribune, and liv-
ing near New Canaan, Conn,
is the PhillipS-owned Bar
Paco," a lively, broad impress
sion of a colorful Mexican
scene, done in 1899; and this
years gouache, a semi
abstract Interpretation of the
equestrian statue of Cosimo
de Medici in Florence, a tapes
try of vertical color areas.
Working on Mural
Mitchell Jamieson's Phillips
owned Death of a City" is a
tragic summary of a bombed
town, inspired if not painted
during World War II when he
was Navy combat artist. His
two later gouaches, "Appian
Way" and "Fisherman's Boat"
are strong, objective captures
of the respective subjects. Mr..
Jameson is now working on a
mural for a post Office in the
South.
Of Mary Elizabeth Lyman'S
two water colors of mountain
panoramas. the Phillips "Sky-
line Drive" is broader and
more modern in handling than
the later Sierra Nevadas."
Alfred McAdams' three works
are all in his individual style,
the architectural motifs being
embellished with baroque de-
tails and arabesques in ink.
Whereas the color areas are
clean cut in the Philips
work, they merge in "Parlor
Dramatic"
Laura Glenn Douglas, too,
is experimental in her work.
This South Carolinian, who
studied extensively in Europe
and has made Washington her
home for a decade or more. is
represented with an ink-and-
wash composition of Charles
ton Negroes (Phillips) quite
different from her two recent
gouaches, of which the
"Sculptural Abstraction" is
the better.
In Contrast
Prentiss Taylor's two prints,
made nearly 20 years apart,
reveal a marked difference be-
tween the Phillips Autograph,
"St. Helena's, Be eaufort"
1880, clean-cut rendering of
an architectural subject with
subtle surrealistic overtonesl
and this years lithotint, "Or-
pheus, the Look Back" emo
tional, with swirling lines and
imaginative details.

One would assume that men
who VOW to devote their lives
to the spreading of Christian
love would find little time for
the spreading of hate. This
assumption is not always valid,
however.
There are ministers who
make a living. and often a
very good living, spewing
hatred and sowing discord
from the pulpit. Ralph Lord
Roy has written a book about
this minority of clergymen.
book as timely as the next
hearings before the Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee.
The apostles of discord"
are the Communist-liners, the
native Fascists and the pro-
fessional destroyers who wrap
themselves in a Bible and try
to claw to pieces what their
brothers have built.
Mr.. Roy is a Methodist
minister who wrote the book
as a doctoral thesis for the
Union Theological Seminary,
Columbia University. He con-
fined his study to the Protes-
tant underworld" because.
he says, the Catholic Church
can and does discipline its
own Father CoughlinS and
Father Feeneys; while the
lunatic fringe Of Professionalism
can be disciplined by no one
but the Protestant public.
Well Doceumented
The book is restrained, bal
anced and well-documented.
The jacket carries endorse
ments by such opposites as
Bishop Oman, outspoken
critic of the Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee, and Her.
bert A. Philbrick, former FBI
spy in the Communist party
and a mine of information
for the committee.
Mr.. Roy's chapters on Com
munism in the churches are
particularly interesting. They
cover the same subject which
was distorted and sensation
allied by j. B. Matthews in a
recent magazine article
which drew a presidential re-
buke. Mr.. Roy is able to dis
tinguiSh between liberals and
pro-CommuniSts and is able to
substitute documented fact for
sweeping statement.
Much that Mr.. Roy says
about Red influence on
churchmen was confirmed by
Un-American Activities Com
mittee testimony this summer.
The rest of his material could
be used as a preview of future
hearings.
1t is a pity the committee
cannot follow some of Mr..
Roy's leads on the far-right-
wing subverters of Christianity
and Americanism. The Ku
Kluxers, the Rev. Gerald Win
rods and Rev. Gerald L. K.
Smiths may not be as danger
GUS as the Communists, but
they are trying.
