Asked If she thinks most
laymen can be expected to
feel with the painter, as they
view some new piece of
abstract art, she replied:
"The more profound your
perception, the more you will
see. 1t comprehension de-
pends on the observer, not
only on his knowledge of art
but on his emotional capacity.
AS the viewer responds to
something in nature, he
responds to a painting"
A favorite quote, she said,
Is a remark made by her
former teacher and hero still,
famous abstractionist Hans
Hofmann Of New York:
There Is no end to nature
and none to inner vision"
The day before yesterday,
when she was hanging her
pictures in the gallery, a man
came in to look around, Miss
Rogers said. II could see he
was very i'll at ease. I

The average viewer does
wonder sometimes Just what
the contemporary artist is
up to.
Boston artist Mary c.
Rogers, an abstract express
sionist, gave her explanation
yesterday. The contemporary
artist. she said. "is graphing
with the unknown.
"He can't say anything
that has been said before.
He has to go out and meet
the world :. and then create
an idiom Of his very own"
"The more individual his
idiom." she added, "the
slower will be the response
Of his viewer"
Exhibition Opening
The sm all, dark-haired
painter discussed her work
and art in general yester-
day afternoon, q few hours
before the opening of her first
Washington exhibition at the
Origo Gallery.
Miss Rogers-in private life
Mrs. Mary c. Conlon, the
mother Of two married
daughters-f1nds painting ex-
tremely hard, If exciting
work.
Most people don't realize
the discipline and energy re-
quired, she said. "I have
worked In music, and the
sweat and labor that goes
into piano technique-well,
there's just as much in paint
ing"
She likes 1t that way: "You
know the worker bees? They
work so hard, their wings are
tattered. That's what I'm
striving for-tattered wings"
Right now," Miss Rogers
said. I'm terribly absorbed
in the problem Of bringing
form into an absolutely pure
essence by means of color.
so the form almost seems to
vanish. so I have almost pure
color. Color is the most fleet
ing element in nature. I want
to seize it."

and smell, as well as sight.
