The book is centered on the
problems Of DR.. John Powers,
a British Army officer who is
unjustly dismissed from his

leading the fight, he is more
concerned with which Of the

the journey is ended. He also
must face the problem Of what

and acclaim are not far to
seek and like the pictures
themselves they are exciting.
The public eye is now at
tuned to the art Of the I'M
pressionists and people more
and more informed in their
art history know that this was
not always so. They recall
the abuse and ridicule hurled
at these very painters when
they exhibited in Paris for the
first time over 80 years ago.
Now that these painters are
famous, 1t is right to remem-
Der that other countries than
their native land appreciated
and bought them and in the
vanguard Of this appreciation
was America where today
French Impressionist art can
be seen in volume and variety
as nowhere else.
American Culture
The U. s. A. - although
the acknowledged mother Of
modern publicity-has been
curiously unsuccessful IN pro-
jecting her true self abroad.
The rest Of the world knows
her for dollars and mass pro-
duction, films and crime:
never, never for anything cul-
tural. This loan of some eighty
pictures and drawings gives
the lie to all that. Here are
proud and golden children Of
France who having left their
homeland unhonored and un-
sung, became citizens Of an
other country. and are now
back garlanded and acclaimed.
And this Is not all. Europeans
have been accustomed to see
in their National Galleries,
pictures whose original color
ing is lost in the yellow varnish
and dirt of the years-whose
canvases and paint are cracked
and dried through the changes
Of temperature of the seasons.
Here are many pictures
blessed by living in dustless

colors are a joy to behold.

and care bestowed on their

Fuller "the sweetest, straight

lived" From the rest develops
a horrendous picture Of an OBJ
scene, drunken tyrant who
combined the worst features of
a sultan. Simon Legree and
medieval torturer. Life in the
Fuller Family was something
like that of Cencis. with only
the actual poison left out.
Eds problem Is should he
give the Yuks back the picture
Of Fuller they treasure. Or
should he tell the truth? The
ethics may not concern you
too much, as Ed. who is

qualities that make such a

Controversies still simmer on
the home front Of conserva-
ton. as they must In any such
delicate undertaking as the
treatment of irreplaceable and
highly perishable words Of art.
Can cleaning ruin a vener-
able painting by removing the
"old master glow? Did the
artist use a tinted varnish to
give a finished effect to his
painting? Or has mere dis
coloration distorted the origi-
nal tone of the picture?
Among the more practical
questions, are the synthetic
resins of today superior to the
old natural varnishes?
Synthetic Resins
The fascinating art of con-
servation has several centers
in Washington. and among the
experts here who incline
toward the synthetic resins on
grounds they don't yellow so
much is Rutherford j. Gettins,
associate in technical research
at the Freer Gallery Of Art.
Another is James Brecken-
ridge. keeper Of the Clark Col
lection at the Corcoran CAL

I'VE feel fairly confident
that the way pictures are
treated today, we are getting
much closer to the original
production of the artist than
has hitherto been possible"
