Local contemporary land
scape painting is on view at
the Arts Club, now showing
the annual exhibition of the
Washington Landscape So
ciety. There are vast differ
ences. The chief one is that
the local painters know an
awful lot more about paint
ing than did the travelling
Englishmen of two centuries
back always excepting Tur-
'ner. The modest charm that
permeates the entire show at
the university is missing here.
The aims are higher.
There is much less evi-
dence of a strong sense of
place. The local landscapes
come through with more of
a sense of a kind of place.
The feeling is generalized.
Also, what Turner was do
ing at the end of the Brit
iSh show is here taken as an
early point of departure. It
isn't that the landscapes
here are better than Turner;
but what he experimental in,

fornia school and to that Of
Balcomb Greene. She is closer
to Greene than to Dieben-
korn. In her large paintings,
as in Greene, the face and
form of a woman emerge
from a somewhat monchro-
matte flux of fragments and
forms.
The differences are signi-
ficant, however. Color is one.
Miss Hoover's tends to be
brown overall. The fragments
differ, too. The typical Greene
let's the woman emerge from
what might easily be a cloud
formation or a breaking wave.
Miss Hoover'S fragments in
flux are less suggestive. The
emerging faces among the
fragments often suggest a
mysterious agony-this con-
veyed not by the expressions
but by the fragmentary emer-
gence itself. On the other
hand, one fine painting sud-
denly and startlingly recalls
Hogarth's Shrimp Girl" The
recollection reminds you, too,
that that street vendor was
a lot more complex than a
jolly cockney version of Mol
ly Malone.
Very much worth seeing.

me-, anyway? It's puzzled me,
my family and my friends.
Answer: You have lots of
company, Lynn, Many high
school students freeze" when
they take a college board exam
or other important school tests.
The fact that you are in the
upper quarter of your class in
dicates you are intelligent and
can do high school work. Quite
obviously, the test scores do not
reveal your true academic
ability.
What can you do about it?
1t would be easy for me to say
don't worry" Even though
you say you aren't nervous be-
fore taking a test, it is likely
that inwardly you are flustered
or upset. Many youngsters go
to pieces when they face the
maze Of questions. and know
how much it means to them to
get a high score. Let's get one
thing straight: You will be ac-
cepted by a college if you con-
tinue to keep your high school
grades up. It may not be the
college of your first choice but
there are many excellent COL
leges that do not require tests
at all. Once you recognize this,
some Of your jitters may dis
appear. Talk to your guidance
counselor. See If he can help
you. And, the night before the
college boards, just forge
about the morrow, relax, go to
bed early and sleep well!
College Boards and other
tests be important. I'm inclined
to think they are overrated. I'd
rather see you continue to get
good, substantial grades in high
school year by year than judge
you on the basis of a three-hour
exam!

Associated Artists

One of the founders of the

The painter is Lillian Gold

dozen works on view.
If you wanted to insist or
naming things, you could call
Mrs. Goldman's style abstract
impressioniSm," with the
stress on abstraction rather
than on impressionism. The
name would be misleading.
The painter has quite a range
in her departure from the
actual look of nature, but the
departure is always definite.
On the other hand, the con-

degree is not enough. You will
need to take courses in guild
ance, counseling and personnel
work on the graduate level.
Check with the education COM
missioner in your State to find
the requirements needed to be
certified as a counselor. I would
estimate that you need about
two years of college work above
your present bachelors degree.
Guidance counSelors are need
ed; the shortage is acute in
both schools and industry. But
don't let your age stop you.
You're young enough to go into
personnel and guidance, if you
have the ability and tempera-
ment for it.
Question: I graduated from
high school some years ago in
the top 10 per cent of my class,
but for financial reasons could
not attend college. I want to go
to college now and qualify to
become a teacher. Can I do it
through correspondence cours-
eS? Where can I get a list of
colleges that accept correspon-
dence credits? Edward M.
Davis, Bayside, N. "
Answer: More power to you!
We need teachers. But I'm
afraid you can't get your degree
or teaching certificate via cor
respondence courses. Beware Of
the diploma mills" that offer
to sell you a degree or certifi-
cate by mail. However, many
colleges will accept up to two
years of correspondence credit.

MASON ON EDUCATION
Group-Singing Fun
Needs New Stress

Many such high school groups
are almost professional in their
perfection.
At some point, though, we
have separated the talented
from the not-so- o-talented. The
talented 60 one way, the rest
sit and listen. They become so
accustomed to just listening
that they are content to be
listeners all their lives.
The talented few have a
problem, too. Their extra cur
ricular music activities are
really polishing sessions. They
learn a great deal about the
techniques Of music. They also
learn to expect perfection.
Don't expect them to sing
spontaneously they want a re-
hearSal first!
So now we have two groups:
Those who have decided they
can't sing and those who are
afraid to sing because it may
not come out just right the
first time. 1t takes q brave
soul to start a singing session
in such company.
Groups Loses Out
It's hard to know where to
point the finger of blame for
this situation, but some of it
may belong with those who
first decided that music should
be extra curricula rather than
part of the regular program.
AS an activity" it no longer
was a thing to really study,
and the emphasis on perform
ance wonderful though it may
be-took it away from the
group and gave 1t to the few.
In Europe, where the tendency
has been to keep music on an
equal footing with science and
mathematics, things have been
different. The not-so-good per-
former doesn't lose interest in
singing because he doesn't leave
1t behind in the sixth grade.
He continues his study of mu-
sic as a subject for learning,
not as a thing to be performed.
He keeps right on enjoying it.
Participating in music just
for the fun Of singing is won-
derfully soothing and relaxing
to jagged nerves and it's some
thing everyone can afford.
Perhaps it is something our
schools could afford to do more
about, too.
You may iDrite to DIR.

Ores Gallery

A midwinter encore OF
paintings from earlier eXhi-
billions, plus a few new ones,
is the current show at the
Ores Gallery. AS in the
shows from which the pres
ent show is composed, the
stress at the Ores is on in
ternational variations of the
non-objective theme.
For sheer stylishness, the
top of the year last year at
the gallery was probably the
show of Polish painters, some
of whom made it to the Mu-
scum of Modern Arts Polish
exhibition after the Mu-
seum's own scouting party
came back empty handed
from Warsaw. That peak is
recalled in a couple Of paint
ings by Wojciech Fangor. His
honestly titled BLACK and
Pink" fades a vertical swath
of black into white as the
eye moves across the surface,
then fades the white into
pink. Another painting of
his is called white and Yel-
low" and you ought to be
able to figure it out for your
self. The generally accepted
New York view is that this
proves freedom is not dead
in Poland.
Passing to the myterious
East, always well represented
at the Ores, Toshinabw On
asato has a large painting
apparently in honor of the
well-known vitamin, "B-1."
There's a big black disk on
the left and a big orange
disk on the right. Behind
both is an overall pattern of
verticals and horizontal de-
tails greatly resembling those
beaded bamboo room-dividers
Sadie Thompson used to slink
through in the old days.
Even more mysteriously
Eastern is the title of a new,
large work by Yayoi Kusama,
Number Green Number
One" Miss Kusama glad
dened hearts last year with
a flat black surface covered
all over with tiny bl elk
SWITCHES. This is the same
painting except that the
SWITCHES are now brig h t
green, reminding us all that
St. Patrick's Day is coming.
Seriously, through, there
is one gorgeous paint
ing in the show, Fernando
Botero's Sun Flowers" prac-
tically a fugue on light
prismed into blossoms. And
upstairs may be found a pro-
vocative blue on blue print by
Max Ernst and a small sent
ence from the lifelong SER
mon on love by PicaSSo,

Mrs. Goldman is elated by
nature in all seasons and she
gets the elation as we'll as the
seasons into her work. Much
of the paint is laid on with
a knife and there is a crumbly
texture that allows one color
to come through from be-
meath another, just like Old
Mother West Wind herself,
as when the wind turns green
leaves to silver green, or blue
water to white, or cleaning
wheat to Shadowed. This
particular aspect of nature
dominates many of the paint
ingS.
A different effect come.
through in the few south
western distractions, appro-
priately enough. Without ever
actually delineating rock
structures, the paintings do
convey the feeling Of sun
baked cliffs. Again, in q
couple Of views of large wa
ter surfaces at night, there
is immense calm in immense
blue.
1t isn't easy seriously to
paint nature these days. Mrs.
Goldman's work should be a
revelation to painters who
think the subject is worn out.
More important, it is a reve-
lation to those who hang
around the great outdoors
when they can and to those
who'd like to.
Opening today at the
Phillips Collection is an ex-
hibition OF paintings by Josef
Albers, perhaps the most in
fluential and satisfying Of
contemporary geometricians.
Opening tomorrow at The
Pan American Union Is an
exhibition of hooked rugs
hooking three continents to-
gether. The designs for the

of North and South America
at the request Of Washington

Mrs. Finn supervised the exc

University Of Southern California
Get a group around q camp
fire on q pleasant summer
evening or around a blazing
fireplace while the winter wind
howls outside. What comes ma
turally? Why, singing, of
course! It's great fun.
Many people who travel In
Europe notice that whenever
groups get together there Is
apt to be singing just for the
fun Of it. Yet many Europeans
travelling in this country COM
ment that they miss this kind
of singing. They never hear it.
It's too bad. Music is one of
mans most satisfactory ways
of expressing his feelings. The
many Americans who don't do
this kind Of singing are missing
something important. Perhaps
they have Just never learned
to enjoy 1t.
Fun Fades Away
For years our schools have
been putting heavy emphasis
on the performer" in music.
We start out great with group
singing in the kindergarten -
and the kids love It'll But in
Junior and senior high schools
it begins to get lost.
Our loss could have some
thing to do with the kind of
music programs we have come
to expect from our schools.
We expect high school athletic
events to be complete with
school band, just as in college
events. We are even beginning
to expect the same thing in
junior high schools. There's
nothing wrong with 1t. Children
should learn to develop talents.
We also expect our high
school choral groups to do some
pretty spectacular things.
Operettas, concerts, State and
national music festivals. These,
too, are wonderful experiences.

Upstairs

"The Upstairs" is not so
much a new gallery as a new
name and new management
for a continuing enterprise
that has been long asso-
ciated with the Potter'S Stu
dio at 1852 Wisconsin avenue
NV. The old name and the
old management, namely the
Galerie Realite, are un-
derstood to be looking for
new quarters.
Anyway it's upbeat at the
Upstairs for the first show.
On view are the paintings of
Nan Hoover, an area artist
of considerable merit. Rough
ly Miss Hoover fits in to the
return to the image that has
been going on since the bank
ruptcy of abstract express
Sionism, an event variously
placed in 1948, 1858, 1860 and
next year sometime. Her work
can be related, very gen.

they now accept as a natural
part of the language of paint.
The overall level Of the
show is a lot higher than
some recent entries at the
Arts Club, but, as is proper,
it is the individual works of
individual painters that make
the most claim on your atten-
ton. There are two fine coun-
try water colors by The Stars
Glib Crockett and a nice
drawing by Carver Miller.
Outstanding oils are a muted
fragment of Winter" by
Charles Dunn and John Lam
dry's small "Deale Island"
like Inness only brighter. Mr..
Dunn's fragment consists of
a backyard and corners of
neighboring houses draped in
snow. The revelation is chief
ly of how much color there is
in snow at the end of the
day. It's an old Childe Has
sam effect and always good.

Smithsonian

Anyone who has seen the
superb exhibition of the So
ciety of Printmakers at the
Sm / t h son i a n Museum OF
Natural History will have
noted the strong representa-
tion Of Wisconsin printmak-
ers in the show. Printmen
from Milwaukee and Madison
compose the strongest State
unit in the exhibition and
most of them are connected
with one or the other of the
two main branches of the
University of Wisconsin.
AS if to add a footnote to
the Wisconsin group in the
big show, the Smithsonian's
Graphic Arts division-just
across the Mall in the rather
comic red-brick Romanesque
chapel-has put up a small
group of prints by University
of Wisconsin graduate stu
dents under the direction of
Prof. Alfred Sessler. Prof.
Sessler runs the university's
graphic arts center, one of
the largest such workshop in
the country.
One of the first things to
be noted is that, as teacher,
Professor Sessler does not let
his own style in prints DOM
mate that of his students,
which is not always true in
print workshops, as anyone
knows who has seen work by
Gabor Peterdi's students at
Yale or Stanley Hayter's stu
dents in New York or Paris.
Each of the 20 woodcuts and
Autographs on view is an
individual work. The COM
mon notes are only profound
respect for and understand
ing of the means of print
making.
The show goes back over 10
years, so several of the stu
dents have since made some
name for themselves. Robert
Burkert, who has been seen
at Washington's liza. Gal
leries, has a very sensitive
lithograph of the Venetian
Ducal Palace. With shadows
and reflections he finds a new
view of the often represent
ed structure. Robert Knip-
schild, who shows regularly
in New York, has a very hard
and tightly organized dinner
tableau, symposium" a
wood engraving.
Probably the outstanding
younger talent present be-
longs to Sylvia Solochek. who
is also in the big print show
across the Mail. Miss Solo,
chek here has an elegant
black and gold head that
shows not only command of
the medium but a real feel
ing for a shape in space.
