roads had been largely de-

has long been considered one
Of the country's outstanding
artists. Certainly she must be
one of the most intellectual,
deeply interested and extern
sively acquainted with philos-
ophy and sciences.
The basis of both her work
and her theory is light, for
which since early childhood,
she has had a mystical feeling.
In her own words. her kind of
painting is ''the pure scientific
or geometric system of esthet-
ics," in which she seeks ito
find plastic equivalents for the
revolutionary discoveries in
mathematics. physics, bio
chemistry and radioactivity."
At any rate, the layman can
appreciate the superb crafts

foreword to the catalogue Of
the Corcoran show is as alb
stract as her painting.
Overlapping Forms
Her lines and broad bands Of
black, different or related COL
ors are the dominant surface
forms, which overlap and lead
the eye through complex ar
rangements, to the depth" of
each painting, which she con-
siders "the plane of infinity."
Her difficult and eventful
life, beginning in her child
hood in and around Boston,
and when she was 10, Brook
Ign, New York, and a detailed
exposition of the development
of her painting, are set forth
in the definitive monograph

University's art faculty.
A study of the jewels in
evitably leads to certain
personal reflections, in the
visitor. First, some facts Of sur
realism seem strange and re-
pellent to most of us, who
paradoxically accept the gro
tesques and fantasies of the
Renaissance. Yet why, for in
stance, should a limp watch,
draped over a tree bough Zone
of Dali's ornaments) be less
acceptable to us than a woman
who from the waist down, has
a lions legs and paws, or a
flsh's tail, as seen in many
Renaissance decorative OBJ
jects? Probably for no other
reason than that we are ac-
customed to the mermaid con-
ception, while the limp watch
affronts our knowledge of a
ubiquitous object.
Important as 1t is to observe
the new with an open mind,
we do not have to go all the
way and accept something
Just because it is new. In the
present instance. some of
Dali's designs are beautiful.
while some are gruesome or
clumsy. Whether he paints and
designs with his tongue in his
cheek Ca difficult place to keep
it for several decades) or
whether he does not bother to
distinguish between the es-
thetic and the unesthetic in his
ideas, has not been revealed.
But the visitor will find the
interest of the exhibition
heightened by studying the
pieces alertly enough to decide
which are admirable and which
are not. Since some of these
objects are presented as jewel
ry, they should be considered
from the standpoint of weara-
bility as jewels. To mention
only two items, the telephone
earrings and ring shaped like
an old-fashioned corset, ap-
pear too heavy and clumsy for
their purposes. Actually, they
may be light in weight; but
appearance has a psychological
effect.
Finally, Dali's name has been
linked frequently with that
of the "reminiscences Cellini.
This comparison, it seems to
me, discounts the tremendous
skill and artistry of craftsmen.
Cellini not only designed his
fabulous objects, he was also
able to execute them. Dali de-
signs, others translate his ideas
into these resistant precious
stones and metals, and they
deserve much of the credit for
the impressive results.

counted for increasingly less
and mechanics and physics de-
cided the issues. You'd have
thought, though, that every
phase of the War Between the
States, as Southerners still
prefer to call it, had been ex-
hausted, at least as material
for novels, but not so. 1t seems.
JUBILEE, by John Brick
Doubleday; $3.50. is another
in a vast number of novels
of the war that ended 81 years
ago, but at least a superior
novel.
1t concerns Sherman's army
and the generals march
through Georgia to the sea. 1t
is sympathetic to Gen. Sher-
man and his soldiers, though
not unmindful Of what the
destructive progress of this
army meant to the people who
lived in its path.
Mr.. Brick has written an &C.
count of the Battle Of Atlantis
as vivid as the late Margaret
Mitchell wrote In Gone With
the Wind" But where Miss
Mitchell depicted the invaders az
mostly a hard. rough lot, Mr.
Brick describes them as ordinary
Americans, much like their es-
tranged brothers south of the
Mason Dixon line. His concep-
ton is the more plausible.
Sherman's Strategy
Sherman, Of course. comes
into the story, though the
main character is a young
West Pointer. This youth lost
an arm at Lookout Mountain,
but stayed with his troops,
and, after distinguishing him
self at Peachtree Creek, be-
came a brigadier general while
still several years under 80.
It is a little hard to under
stand why, in the wake OF two
world wars, which made our
Civil War look like an exercise
in chivalry, the name of Sher-
man still causes so many
Southerners to run temper
allure. He probably was no
more ruthless than other
Union generals, but he was
more realistic. AS Mr.. Brick
brings out with admirable
clarity, Sherman, after captur-
ing Atlanta in the summer Of
1864. could have stayed there
awaiting orders, and the war
might have gone on another
year, But he planned a grand
strategy calculated to end
it in a few months. He did
just that. If he could go on
through Georgia to the sea,
then turn north and hem in

in 1950-51 spent 8 months in

she married for the third time

the varied textures in all her

In conclusion, I have only
one negative comment. Despite

fines the threefold purpose
of a science book in this way.
He says it must create an
attitude, arouse an interest,
give information. In addition,
it must be authentic and
clearly written.
Perhaps the most difficult
task of the science writer is to
write clearly. 1t is not enough to
