News of Artists and Exhibitions

The extent and variety Of
the Smithsonian Institution
Travelling Exhibition Services
activities deserve more atten-
ton than this space permits.
Not only does the service bring
to this country. under dis
tinguished auspices, the art Of
many nations and periods, it
also introduces American art
abroad. The most recent for
eign venture is a special ex-
hibition entitled American
Primitive Paintings" The
Smithsonian has sent it over
for a tour of eight to 10
months, the first collection of
its kind ever to be shown in
European museums. 1t will
open next Saturday at the an
nual summer festival in Luz
cerne, Switzerland, where it
will be sponsored by H. e.
the American Ambassador to
Berne, Miss Frances Willis,
and a group of distinguished
museum officials. After nine
weeks in Lucerne, the show
will be presented in Vienna,
Munich and Dortmund, and
possibly IN Oslo and London.
The Smithsonian Travelling
Exhibition Service organized
this show at the request of
the United States Information
Agency, and with the aid of
an advisory committee includ-
ing Duncan Phillips, president
and director of the Phillips
Gallery, which is one of the
important art museums which
have lent paintings to the
show. Other loans were made
by dealers galleries and pri-
vate collectors, among them 38
outstanding paintings from
Edgar William and Bernice
Chrysler GarbiSch, donors Of
the large gift of such@paint-
ings to the National Gallery.
ANONYMOUS Artists
More than 100 of approx
mately $50 oil paintings,
watercolors and drawings, are
early primitives by anony-
nous artists of the 18th, 18th
and 10Th centuries. There are
also characteristic works by
Ralph Earl, Edward Hicks,
Thomas Chambers, and more
recently, John Kane and Hor-
ace Pippin, to mention but a
few. These artists were en-
tirely unaware of their part
in the development of Amer
lean art.
Besides these paintings of
the past, there are works by Is
living artists. all self-taught
and often highly original in
their direct approach. Grand
ma Moses is the best known.
Like their primitive predeces-
sors, these are not profess
sional artists. but carpenters,
farmers, preachers and house
wives. They paint for pleasure
or as a side occupation to
their regular work.
The Smithsonian Travelling
Exhibition Service has other
shows circulating abroad,

The Quality Of Mercy

In the final rush Of what is
called the spring book season,
which lasts well into hot
weather before it droops into
a becalmed summer solStice,
some worthy books are apt to
be forced into a book depart

is one novel which deserves to
escape such a fate.
In "The Quality of Mercy"
Mr.. Carson has written about
a murder, or let's say. for the
purpose of this review, a sup
posed murder. The book is as
different in its approach and
development from the average
crime story as is Mark Bran

which engaged my reflections

There Is no mystery in Mr..
Carson's purder-at least, not
the obvious mystery that is
held suspended over most fic-

won't say more about the
puzzle that is inherent in the
story lest I loosen the sus-

age in the wilderness atop the

miles south of. here, and began
removing the injured.

record of having no passenger fa-

seen alive near the wreckage.

members.
The meeting was held to
acquaint the Miami Beach
man, Sam Hyman, with fu-
ture expansion plans of the
yacht club, which has a club
house in the east end Of
Garrison Blight, and the pos
sible effect of those plans on
Hyman's proposal.
Result of the meeting was as
surance from Hyman that he has
no objection to the plans and that
they will not interfere with his pro-
posed operation.
Docking Needs
The yacht club, at the present,
has no deep water docking facili-
ties. They have plans, however, %
add such facilities east of the in
tersection of Roosevelt Blvd. and
Fifth ST.
Hymsn, who has been nesotia-
ting with the city for several weeks,
plans on constructing his develop
ment at First St. and Roosevelt
Blvd.
Next step in the negotiations viii
be the consideration of proposed
lease of the property at a meeting
of the city commission expected to
be held in the next few days.
Members of the commission have
expressed enthusiasm for Hyman.s
plans, but have withheld formal
action until they study the lease
of the property.
Ready To Start
Hyman has indicated that he il
prepared to start work immediate
ly on development of the blight. His
plans will be patterned closely af.
ter the famed Bahia Mar develop
ment in Fort Lauderdale.
The city is expected to ask for
a lease to protect the interests Of
the city.
Among the provisions the city Is
expected to require are guaarntees
that work on the project will begin
by certain date and that the pro-
perty will revert to the city If il
ever, for any reason, ceases to be
used for a yacht basin.
The commission has looked with
favor on Hyman's proposal, indicat-
ing that they would prefer to have
the development financed by pri-
vate capital rather than use tax
money for the job.
The estimated $225, 900 project
has been endorsed by charterboat-
men who would receive free dock
space, according to Hyman.
The development would accomo-
date 100 yachts, would have six
stores, restaurant and parking
for $50 cars.
