Show Local Artist Wins Favorable Comment At Springville Exhibit John H. . Stansfield, local artist, has received many favorable compliments com-pliments on his exhibit at th annual an-nual .art exhibit being held at Springville this month. This year Mr. Stansfield has three subjects at the exhibit and is mentioned as one of twelve of the leading subjects of the entire exhibit. Following are some of the comments com-ments made by the daily papers of the state: Striking Entries It is difficult to differentiate between be-tween the pictures. But there are naturally a number of pictures that stand out notably. Of the entire exhibit, these listed seem to be the most unusual: "Cabin in the Mountains," William Will-iam Wendt, .Laguna Beach, California. Cali-fornia. "Sycamores," also by William Wendt. "Two Girls," John Hubbard Rich, Hollywood, California. "Norton's Ledge," Jay Connoway, Macbeth Gallery, New York. "M o u n t a i n Stream," Gordon Cope. "Gathering Storm," Calvin Fletcher, Flet-cher, Logan, Utah. "Old Fashioned Garden," James Knox, Brooklyn, New York. "Evening Glow," Leland Curtis, Los Angeles. "The Bather," Arthur B. IXvis, Vcse Gallery, Boston. "Old Pest Road," Childe Hansen, Macbeth Gallery, New York. "Creeping Shadows," John H. Stansfield, Mt. Pleasant. "Farming on the Flats," Harry Seith Ross, Woodstock, N. Y. "Creeping Shadows," Stansfield's painting of last winter, is an ex-ppllprif. ex-ppllprif. riplinpflt.inn of the advance of night in .a snow bound valley, near his home at Mt. Pleasant. It is a pleasing picture. Utahns Hold Own One of the gratifications afforded afford-ed by the Springville collection is to see how weU the works' of Utah's artists stand comparison with those of outside artists, whose paintings have been hung in the great - galleries of America and the world. So vivid is the effect created creat-ed by several of our Utah artists notably B. F. Larsen, Gordon Cope, Lee Green Richards, and J. H. Stansfield that their pictures stand out among the most memorable memor-able of he one hundred and thirty-odd thirty-odd in the collection. This is not to say that the work cf the other Utah artists is not meritorious. It may be better than the paintings of those named but pictures like "By Mirrored Stream" by B. F. Larsen, and Gordon Cope's powerful delineation of mountain, ice lined stream, and desert, and J. H. Stansfield's transference to canvas of light and mood in "Creeping Shadows" stand out before be-fore the mind's eye with unfailing strength and fidelty. With "Wild Horse Chase" J. H. Stansfield enters a new field- -at least such animal studies are new to us among his canvases In which his knowledge of range life can be successfully utilized. This milling band of wild horses, in which the captive has been brought to its knees, is handled in a very interesting manner. |
