ARTS AND ARTISTS
+ SprightIy New Show at the Library
Is q Lesson in Bon Gout for All

works can suggest anything
from a waterfall to a deep
swamp, hung with hanging
moss and spottily penetrated
by brilliant sunlight. There
are also four ink drawings on
view, put in for no particular
reason that comes to mind
in looking at them. Each is
an arrangement in white
space of a few ellipsoid
shapes, slightly flattened.
The BurIop School
It is the paintings, though.
that constitute the show.
These are large, mostly four
by five feet. Typically, Miss
Frank builds up a very heavy
texture down one side of the
canvas. The already thick
paint is further roughened by
the manner Of its application,
by the occasional addition
Of grit Of some kind and here
and there by insertion of OBJ
longs Of coarse cloth, prob
ably burlap.
All this textural souping
up is justified by the results.
You really do feel in the
presence of vast canyons and
cliffs. The thick textured area
gives way to another. equally
thick but differently colored.
You get the feeling Of deep
space beyond the canyon
wall, Of light colored by
colored rock, Of mist rising
from a canyon floor.
The only failure is the
largest picture in the show,
"Crags and Crevices." The
center area there changes
texture too completely. It is
perfectly smooth in contrast
to the surrounding rough
ness. Within the visual Ian
guage of the rest of the
show, such an area could
only be explained by a slow
moving glacier between the
piled up rock and the sug-
gestion seems silly in the con-
text.
Otherwise, an interesting
exhibition of a revitalized
subject once much over
worked in American paint
ing.

Ret, a French artist whose
prints the gallery handles all
the year round.
The show is a stunning
demonstration of the almost
automatic facility of a school
Of painting as highly devel-
oped as Partisan art has been
for a century. The last time
in art history this kind of
overflow Of inspiration took
place was the century follow
ing the High Renaissance,
say from 1880 on. Genera
tions of Italian artists lived,
learned and worked within
the energy developed by
Raphael, Leonardo and Mi
chelangelo.
French Influence
The same thing has been
happening in our time with
French or French-type art
lists following the enormous
explosion of artistic energy
in the Paris Of 1860 to 1920.
There Is no question here Of
imitation or even Of coast
ing. It is simply that so dy-
manic a language in paint
was invented in that city
during those years that art
lists pick it up and use it as
their mother tongue. In that
language Mr.. Ret is a very
fluid speaker.
The basis Of his work is line
drawing Of a subject and the
line, while all his own,
springs nevertheless from
Degas. Picasso, Duty. This
line drawing, always fluent,
is placed upon a highly
decorated surface and the
relation between the two is
always exact and always
exactly right.
Mr.. Ret is less an individual
artist than an individual ex-
preston Of a great art COM
munity.

Upstairs Gallery

Miss Lee Deffebach, who
has been in the area for a
few months en- route to Ne
vada from Europe, is having
her first area one-man show
at the Upstairs Gallery. Her
paintings relate somewhat
to Miss Franks in that both
women artists demonstrate a
nice sense of color and a
total control over what
they're doing despite work.
ing in a manner that invites
the happy accident.
Miss Deffebach, however,
is considerably more removed
from visual reality than Miss
Frank and her paintings are
texturally very thin, rely
ing for effect almost wholly
on the tasteful juxtaposition
Of major color areas and the
articulation of these areas
by colored strokes.
By Any Other Name
From the titles, there
seems to have been some kind
OF visual starting point for
many of the paintings, but
that point has been left so
far behind that the titles
irritate more than they IL
illuminate. Three Estates"
for example, is, a pleasant ar
rangement Of a vague red
shape over a foggy green
area over a good deal of
purple and black. The eye is
pleased by this, but the brain
is annoyed by a name which,
in this total abstraction,
could equally refer to the
French pre- Revolutionary
parle m e n t, three country
houses and their grounds, or
three inheritances, the mid
die one of money.

our bones, or perhaps our
palates. Again and again it
comes through in the show
at the library. Probably the
finest individual work Of art
in the show is Hogarth's SUI
perbly crowded print Of an
18th century election BAN
quet. Sticks and stones are
being thrown through the
window by the opposition and
the diners are getting stoned
in other ways, too. Yet out
of the mess around the table
there does emerge the sense
that this is somehow a solemn
occasion, a memorable civic
event.
At the TobIe
The same feeling comes
through in rather the same
way, that is by indirection,
in a stunning, vulgar poster
Of a turmoil the-century
Vaudeville skit, "Hogan's
Alley" The subject is a roof
party by the New York Irish.
The subject is gagged up with
the beer spraying out of a
barrel into Irish eyes and the
moon itself, over a Man
haitian skyline, winking at
the scene. Yet, there is over
it all a strong sense of people
rising above themselves by
joining in a common meal.
This intimation is strongest
in a number of Farm Sc
curity Administration photo
graphs-which, by the way,
suggest once more that the
library really ought to do a
major show Of this material.
Most Of these prints are of
homely Americans, ourselves,
seated at their tables, eating
together and through that
act bringing into existence a
group reality different from
the sum of the individuals.
One of the FSA photographs
achieves this elusive sense in
a simple composition of
paper plates scattered on the
ground after a bean supper
in New Mexico.
Whets the Appetite
Throughout the show there
is a nice balance maintained
between high class observa-
tions of the kind examined
above and vulgar, funny,
down-to-earth comments on
human eating. In sum, the
Prints and Photographs Di-
vision has done it again and
you can't do better than to
see the show and then go out
to dinner.

=. The Library'S show, draw
; the Prints and Photograph
Everything in from all period
send from many media, in
Gliding prints, commercial
Autographs, advertisements,
cartoons and photographs.
The clash of styles is &C.
,casionally as startling as that
of cymbals, when, for exam
pie, the eye moves from a
18th century engraving to an
American photo Of the 1905.
Finally, of course, we all
like a bit Of dignity and ele-
'gance in our art exhibitions.
If you are going to be so
crude as to do an exhibition
:of a subject in art, at least
the subject could be land
escapes, flowers, portraits or
Historical scenes. Instead,
there they are at the Library,
three and a half centuries of
hungry human beings, all
,tucking it away, stuffing
themselves, getting sick and
even passing out-from the
spices in the hors d'oeuvres;
they'll do it everytime.
Joy to Behold
In spite of all these rules
.disregarded, the show is a
Joy to the eye and a lift to
the spirit.
Speaking Of the spirit, one
of the great values of this
large collection of miscellane-
'ous material miraculously
endowed with an unsupported
order, is its happy reminder
of how important eating is
and ought to be to all of us.
On the one hand, today we
are harrassed by dietitians
and calorie accountants who
believe, in their simple
minded way, that the pur-
pose Of eating is nutrition;
this is like saying that the
purpose of sport is exercise.
The latter proposition leads
to rowing machines and
bolted down bicycles, the
former to pills instead of
pork chops.
On the other, we are har-
raised as badly by bishops
and the lower clergy, all of
whom should know better, de-
nouncing our times as hope
leSSly materialistic. It speed
lily becomes plain, in viewing
the feasts Of yesteryear at the
library, that we are, In fact,
oyer = spiritualized and not
nearly materialistic enough.
A Religious Rite
Eating together is one of
the basic pleasures Of life.
It is more than that. It
isn't considered polite, and
it may even be unconstitu-
tional to mention it, but the
truth is that most of us are
Jews or Christians at one
remove or another. Both
these faiths, or cultural
: heritages or whatever they
are, are based solidly on eat
Ing together. The observ-
! ances Of the Sabbath, Pass
over, mass and communion
service are all essentially
. common meals. In America
still we annually give thanks
. to the Lord by sitting down
- to a turkey dinner.
10. The rest of our heritage, as
Edith Hamilton never tired
Of pointing out, is Greek.
From the Greeks we get the
idea Of the Symposium, I"
which translates as drink
ing party" Under that title
we get the most highly dis
titled, so to speak, statement
Of Greek wisdom, the leis-
urely conversation of Socrates
with a bunch Of people who
were quietly getting plastered.
Unless we've been educated
out Of it by dietitians or
clergymen, all of this Is in

West End

Sung Chae-hyu, a Korean
artist who has recently
aroused interest in New
York. is having his first exhi-
bition in this area at the
West End Gallery, opening
today.
Mr.. Sung works in the
traditional manner of orien-
tai painting, placing a few
strokes of black ink on deli
cately textured rice paper in
order to convey at one and
the same time both the linear
essence of a scene or a crea-
ture and the act itself of
painting so precisely.
Rhopsodie in Hue
To this ancient art Mr..
Sung has added a small
further dimension by sue
cessfully expanding this
world of black ink through a
kind of counterpoint of
orange, pink or blue accents.
In the finished pictures,
these touches appear as more
than accents. They seem
rather the orchestration of a
theme. The subjects are the
traditional ones of trees,
birds and mountains.

!. F. A. Galleries

Joseph Sheppard, Of Balti-
more. has one of the most
commentator paintings in
the current Corcoran area
show. 1.-THE window" COM
bines a realistically painted
girl and window in a wall
that is both realistic and
highly textured in the man
ner Of the most advanced
American painting. The wall
actually belongs to both
styles of painting, accu-
rately expressing in its paint
texture the real texture Of
such a wall, but at the same
time creating a painting tex
ture very much up to date.
For those intrigued by the
painting, the good news to-
day is that Mr.. Sheppard
has a one-man show at the
I. F. A. Galleries. There are
a few drawings and about
IS paintings.
None Of the paintings has
any Of that texture business
going on. All are in a poetic,
melancholy realism popu-
larly supposed to have ended
about 1943. Mr.. Sheppard,
who is 81 years old, is one
more sign that younger art
lists are still capable Of
ignoring fashion to paint as
they please.
Genre" Pointing
Mr.. Sheppard's competence
at the way that pleases him
suggests that the American
painting of the thirties was
superseded long before it was
worn out. Many of the pic
lures fit into the class that
used to be called genre"
scenes Of daily life. All are
very competently painted and
many carry with them q sug-
gestion of further meaning,
usually somewhat sad, be-
meath the surface so accu-
rately conveyed. Paintings of
a crippled newsvendor or a
junked auto remind you at
first Of the Aaron Bohrod of
rs years ago, but the show
as a whole reveals a sensi-
tive individuality preoccupied
with the poetry of the circus,
Of the female nude, of glow
ing strawberries in q dish.

FRIENDSHIP MISSIONARY
BAPTIST CHURCH

Our pastor spoke on the subject:
"How People Try To Rob Cod"
Text; Malachi 3, 8-9. Will a man
rob God? Yet we have robbed me.
But We say, Wherein have we rob-
bed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Ye are cursed with a curse: for
We have robbed me, even this whole
nation. Every person should give
God ten percent of what they earn,
that is a command from God. But
some people try to excuse them
selves or try to make an excuse
for tithing. Tithing was for the
Jews who lived under the law and
they say that Christians are not
supposed to pay their 1.-THE, but
God is a changeless God, and what
He commands to be done is for all
people.
Our devotional service was very
inspiring conducted by Earnest
Martin.
Prayer meeting will be in the
home of Dolly Williams, Wednes-
day evening, pm.
Sunday, February 18th, 4 pm. in
the afternoon will be our Womens
Day Program, with GENEVA Hayes,
as guest speaker.
Geneva Hayes is the President
of our Mission, her subject will be,
wonders In Christ"
Every one is invited to worship
with Friendship Baptist Church,
where we are striving to please
God.

at Gethsemane Baptist Church,
Coon Rapids, that much depended
on the preventive measures exerted
by suburban communities" in the
administration of the Fair Hous-
ing amendment which will become
effective December 81, 1862.
James C. Mcdonald, who will be
the first director of the new State
Commission Against Discrimina-
ton, said that citizens committees
will be formed in the metropolitan
suburban areas so that "a program
of prevention through the COM
munity organization process will
facilitate sane acceptance of the
new housing amendment"
He noted that this approach
would depend very much on total
community participation.
In answer to McDonald's plea
that I'VE would hope and expect
that members of this congregation
would be in the forefront of such a
program Several members have
volunteered to work for the prin-
cipal of Fair Housing.
Mr.. Mcdonald, at 80, Minnesota's
youngest department head, told the
audience that there are four types
of conviction in relationship to the
doctrine of Brotherhood: l. Those
who try to live by the religious
principle of Brotherhood, 2. Those
who accept them as a general idea,
but without strong conviction, 8.
Those who accept Brotherhood in
theory, but are afraid to face their
peers with this conviction, 4. Those
who don't believe that Brotherhood
can work.
He also cited our American edu-
cation system as one Of the most
effective perpetrators of the ster-
eotypes we know today"
He said that the history books
slanted accounts Of the American
Indian and Negro and their con-
tributions to the development Of
our great nation"
In answer to the question as to
whether or not Minnesota is better
for Negroes, Mr.. Mcdonald indi-
Gated that the problems confront
ing us in this area, are problems
concerning already-established con-
stitutonally guaranteed individual
rights, and as long as we have
discrimination and group exclusion,
we have little cause to feel that we
are doing better than states like
Mississippi, Alabama or Georgia"

PILGRIM BAPTIST

"A Man For These Times" based
on the text For he was good
man" found in Acts 11:24 was the
subject of another dynamic sermon
delivered by DR.. Massey at the
morning worship service.
In his Introductory remarks, the
minister compared the role of an
actor who played the part of a
bad" man to that of one who
played the role of a good" man.
The actor would rather play the
role of bad" man because the
public notices while the good"
role is dull and colorless. How like
the actor are we? We will give
appearances of being worse than
we are, in order to gain favorable
social approval.
Registered guests included: Mrs.
Charles Spaces, Des Moines, Iowa,
and members of Attucks-Brooks
American Legion Post No. COG.
Music was provided by the Cos
pei Chorus and Senior Choir under
direction of Mesdames o. Gallo
way and M. Hampton respectively.
Next Sunday DR.. Massey preach
es from the topic "a Woman For
These Times.
