" "At the Dock" by Anthony Thienic is an outstanding picture pic-ture at the Art exhibit this year. The glittering light on suivering water together with the staying quality of vertical lines and solid masses makes one feel the sincerity in this fine painting. The intimate color caressing the bulky hulls of the ships at dock, the water-washed pier, and the 'Weather worn building give a no ie of stability and endurance endur-ance to the scene. A delightful loyousness in the frank blue surface of the water forms a .striking contrast to the dark mass of building in the background. back-ground. In this canvas Thieme shows his typical 'love of the sea and the life connected with it. "Leaf Down, a Taos Indian Girl," by J. H. Sharp, an outstanding out-standing Taos artist, who has two pictures for the art exhibit ex-hibit this year, is a revelation' revela-tion' of the intimacy and f rirndliness existing between this artist and the Taos race of Indians, among whom he lives. Child of nature that he has portrayed, she has in her gaze all the wonder and pathos and mystery of her race. The colors are dark btit typically Indian, and there is a convincing con-vincing freshness and sincerity sinceri-ty about the canvas that makes it exceptionally attractive. Mr. Sharp has another very fine painting "Kuan Yin," in the. exhibit, which is a delightful study of the Chinese Goddess of Mercy. jr " " . , , - w- ' Hv ; : ' i '-' ;" . w. : TV- ti l-1 v , f., fe-WA, ...TfIrt,rUvA.... ' ' i in ".November Afternoon," by "liirles P. Griippc, is one of R , the most restful and thorough- I : ly entrancing of the smaller B i canvases that has been re- ' ? ceived for the exhibit. The golden gol-den tints, suggestive greens and delightful cream browns give the scene an elusiveness as mysterious and delicate as the wind sighing in the trees. Gnarled and barren trees stripped strip-ped of their summer beauty stand as defiant guardians on the banks of a placid, smoothly smooth-ly flowing stream in the foreground. fore-ground. The artist's broad handling ol his landscape gives a sense of expansive distance and wide fields, fit pasture grounds for the cattle suggested sug-gested in the background. One Joels the quiet splendor of the scene and recognizes the mastiff mas-tiff hand in this interpretation interpreta-tion of one of nature's moods. |
