Alice Acheson, which opened jan
uary &c at the Corcoran Gallery
of Art in Washington, was of
great interest to this neighbor-
hood, where Mrs. Acheson and
her husband, the former Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson, live
during the summer and for many
weekends during the rest of the
year. The exhibit was the 18th
in the series of Contemporary
American Artists and contained
As oil paintings. 1t will continue
until Feb. %.
According to the foreword, of
the catalogue, Mrs. Acheson has
had several previous one-man
shows in New York and Wash
ington. The majority of the paint
irgs in the present collection
were done within the last ten
years. Mrs. Acheson is.also credi-
ted with being zone of the first
artists to realize the tremendous
design possibility of painting
landscapes from the air."

them. OF course, to fellow gard
en-clubers the still lifes appealed

Pinks", and "Gladiolas in Vel
low, and among the others
were Doorway, San Jerianimo" ,
"Cove, Maligne Lake" (Which
was on the cover of the cata-
logue), Summer Study, and
many others.
