Illustrating the modern trend this year is a still life group by Yasuo Kuniyoshi, an instructor at the Art Students' league in New York City. This canvas, which is hung on the south wall in the west gallery, illustrates the type ' of individualism for which Kuniyoshi Kuni-yoshi is famous. Devotees of traditional tra-ditional art may not be able to i understand it, but it does pro- ; vide interesting variety. ' Jon Corbino's "Abduction" is : a picture that contains as much vibrant rythmic action as any canvas in the art show Expressing modern tendencies , in portraiture is "Girl With the Red Scarf," by Bernard Karfiol, which is especially interesting because be-cause of its fresh colors. Also in the portrait group is Sidney E. Dickinson's "Portrait of Montgomery Mont-gomery Fayette," which is one of the Carnegie Hall contributions. It is very well done, and the subject's sub-ject's genial personality makes an impression on art-minded critics. Mr. Dickinson's portrait studies hang in a number of leading galleries, gal-leries, and he has several notable prizes to his. credit. One of the most popular paintings paint-ings in the gallery is John Hubbard Hub-bard Rich's "Amador and Bingo," an appealing canvas. The little chap and his wooly dog charm art devotees by reason of their apparent appar-ent devotion expressed in position posi-tion of each and also the painting shows technical excellence in the painting of flesh tones and textures. tex-tures. Flower studies'; landscapes, marine, mar-ine, and portrait paintings are in their usual profusion and the hundreds of art lovers who throng the galleries Sundays and week days find favorites in each type. "Suuflowers," by Fera Webber Shear, "Shasta Daisies," by Carl Lawless, are examples of the flower flow-er group. "Supper Eternal," by F. Luis Mora, is an unusual painting that may not appeal at first sight but that arouses admiration after recurrent observation. This painting paint-ing has already received National recognition in having shown at the Carnegie award at the National Na-tional Academy of Design, one of the most exclusive shows in the United States. |
