performance by the National
Symphony Orchestra in
Greensboro, N. c., on October
20, the firms 18th anniver-
Sary. That concert had to be
cancelled because the orches-
ira was involved in contract
negotiations, and the pre-
miere was reScheduled for this
Tuesday at Constitution Hall.
Alas for the compoSer-the
company has now asked the
orchestra to postpone the first
performance until a later
time while it takes stock of
the situation. Hence the Vi
valid concerto listed in this
weeks music calendar.

The historical interest lies
in the simple fact that bronze

cast in bronze. Here, the foun'

HinckIey and BroheI

We continue to be fortunate
beyond our merits in this
years new galleries. Suddenly
good new galleries are open
ing up in Washington as well
as the more usual kind. The
latest good one is Hinckley
and Brohel, at 1865 Wisconsin
avenue NV.
The gallery is a local
branch of a New York gallery
down on Christopher street,
which is quite far down. The
owners and the artists are all
young and may therefore be
taken to represent the new
and independent generation
following upon the decline Of
abstract expresSionism, the
brief booming of Pop Art and
similar fiascoS.
Starting All Over
If the inference is sound,
happy days are here again,
for the gallery group, mostly
in their '2OS, are following
neither fads nor fancies, but
starting all over again with
good drawing as the founda-
ton of art.
This is less surprising than
at first appears, for three of
the artists represented are the
children of Ben Shahan; Jona-
than, primarily a sculptor,
Abby, represented here by
large oil sketches, and Judith,
whose work most nearly re-
calls her fathers. A bronze
head of FDR by Jonathan is
powerful work.
Ted Davies has a number Of
large woodcutS of strength,
including an overall view Of
the N. Y. Stock Exchange.
The best painter in the group,
on present evidence, is Irwin
Zagar, who has a couple Of
small oils that vaguely recall
the lights of Nolde and other
Germans.
The gallery also has some
old drawings and good bit Of
IndoneSian sculpture. Hours
are 10 to 6 daily except Sun.
dav. Thursday until 10 pm.

on sea-power. The last En-
ropean power with the same
kind of relationship with the
sea was Venice.
At the same time, Venice
strongly attracted British
travellers and acted as a
civilizing influence upon them.
The new rich always need to
be civilized and no one can
do it better than the old rich.
This was the nature of the
British-Venetian relationship.
British Collections
One result Of this has been
that a great deal of Venetian
art of the 18th century is
owned In England. This is as
true of drawings as it is of
paintings, with the great
Venetian drawing collections
being those of the British Mu-
scum and Windsor Castle.
Venice still has one great
collection of drawings, how
ever, those of the Correr Mu-
scum. An exhibition of them,
arranged by the Smithsonian
Travelling Exhibition Service,
opens today at the National
Gallery Of Art. In the 12O
drawings by AZ 18th century
masters, Venice is once more
preserved.
The city is preserved less
as an actual, although fantas-
tic, place, than as a spirit,
though very likely the two
things are inseparable. The
spirit is essentially one Of re-
finement. Veni,e has a re-
markedly long period of eco
nomic decline and the glory of
its painting only begins with
the beginning of the decline.
Diaz rounded the Cape in
1896, thus breaking the Vene-
tian monopoly on trade with
the East. Jacob Bellini, the
first of the great VenetianS,
died in 147O. The city was
thus going downhill all the
time that its art was building
its great period of Jacobs
two sons, Carpaccio, Titan,
Tintoretto and Veronese.
NapOIeOn's in The Picture
The decline continued for
better than 300 years, ending
in the conquest by Napoleon
and the eventual incorporation
of the Republic into the Itali.

historic Georgetown are well
aware, it is in a cultures pc
Rod of decline and even ca
renee that manners and arts
achieve their greatest refine
ment. In the 18th century,
Venice had been on the Skids
for a very long time and
throughout the century was,
without knowing it, waiting
for Bonaparte. Refinement
was absolute.
Early In the show 1t can be
seen In the elegant lines and
washes of a design by Diziani
for an Annunciation. The
great news deScends upon the
awe-Struck maiden through a
chain of angels and the ner-
vous quality Of line itself car
ries, in context, the electrical
impulse Of the communication
to earth from heaven.
Refinement is written all
over the numerous studies by
Clan BattiSta Tiepolo: Of a
standing man, fully cloaked,
juxtaposed with a closeup of
his face; of two gloved hands;
of the female nude in four
poses. Much Of the exhibition
consists of such works, notes
for paintings, notes on the
Venetian life passing before
the eye of the artist, notes of
all kinds. In a marvellous
sketch of a nurse and child
with an ornate mirror, Longhi
even writes in the names of
the colors to be used in va
riouS parts Of the picture.
But there are also numer-
Gus finished drawings, works
made to be seen and enjoyed
in themselves, not as prepara-
tor scaffolding for paintings.
Here, too, refinement pre-
walls.
PiaZetta's Three Heads
There are, for ample,
three h e IDS by Piazzetta.
Beautifully drawn, fully mo-
delled, they have a velvety
quality of light shimmering
along folds Of fabric, of the
firm softness of facial skin.
Each Of the three, all young
men, is engaged in some &C.
tivity quite distinct from the
activity Of being drawn by
PiaZzetta. We see each o.
them from an off angle, never
straight on. Technically, this
affords the arts greater op'
pOrtunity for the play of light
of tension and of the viewers
eyes. But it also expresses the
instructive indirection Of total
refinement.
The exhibition represents
major work of art scholarship

er of prints and drawings a
