Show Critic Describes Hectic Tour Through Galleries By DONNA WHITNEY (Editor of Red & Blue, Spring-ville Spring-ville High School Publication) A Sunday afternoon at the Art Gallery is like standing on the back row trying to get a glance at a Fourth of July parade. I am sitting in the center of the south gallery getting a peek now x and then at the pictures on the walls. Oh there's one now! Number Num-ber 70. In my program, number 70 says "Solvaag Song," by Marguerite Mar-guerite S. Pearson of Boston. This painting resembles others' she has sent to past exhibits, being an indoor scene. This time it is of a beautiful girl with her mother. Well, there's a crowd in front of me now, so I suppose if I want to see anything I'll have to move. A clear spot down at the end of this gallery reveals a large painting by Karl Yens, called . "Miracles of Life." This is.oue. of the best flower pictures in the gallery. Dodging around again, I find myself pushed against the wall directly in front of "Moonlight on Clingman's Dome," by Rudolph F. Ingerle. This is characteristic of all his paintings a storm-clouded sky with the moon trying to peek through just as I'm trying to do now - guess I'll have to move again. Here I am now at "High Sierras," Sier-ras," and what a lovely scene judging from the painting by J. Bond Francisco. This is one of the most realistic scenes in this gallery. Moving with the crowd again I get a glance at one of the best portraits we have ever had. This is of an old woman landing in America, I suppose, as the painting paint-ing is called "In the Land -of Promise." She has a well-satisfied look on her face and an expression expres-sion that says, "Now I may die in peace." The crowd is beginning to dwindle enough now so that I can walk on my own feet and not just ride with the tide. On the north wall of the East gallery, another portrait catches my eye. This one looks like a refugee from the opera cast. "Marie "Ma-rie in Grandma's Gown," by Jane Freeman, is surely a great portrait. por-trait. Well, everyone's gone now, so I'll be leaving, too I like the crowd. But before I go I just want to say to all of you who haven't yet seen the gallery this year to come and see it. If you come on a Sunday afternoon you at least see what the well-dressed men and women are wearing this year. j |
