Art Group Is Pleased By Local Reception of ‘Paintings for Paris’

Without Mother,” Most Impressive Canvas, Is Work of 28-Year-Old St. Louis Painter; Association to Pick Seven Directors.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON Indianapolis Art Association members who are to elect geven directors tomorrow evening are pleased with the guccess of the current “Paintings for Paris” exhibition in the John Herron Art Institute. Wilbur D. Peat’s discussion of the 18 canvases in the west gallery yesterday

afternoon attracted a large audience. The seven directors whose terms expire with the annual meeting at 8 p. m. tomorrow are Mrs. Edgar H. Evans, Mrs. Fisk Landers, Miss Lucy Taggart, Messrs, William G. Irwin, Columbus; Lee Burns, Anton Scherrer and Evans Woollen, The new board is to meet Jan, 18 to elect officers. The most impressive and by all odds the most haunting picture in the exhibit, "Without Mother,” was painted by Joe Jones, the baby of the exhibition, Tragic in its loneliness is the little biyeclad figure with face upturned to the light-streaked sky. The rapidly rising artist, who is only 28, was born in St. Louis and was practically self-taught. His approach to his work is individual and he feels something strongly about his environment which he describes in biting terms. Guy Pene du Bois’ “Carnival Interlude” depicts a moment at a costume ball when an intoxicated girl falls into the arms of a man clad in a scarlet Mephistopheles costume. In the colorful and strong composition the painter seized the opportunity to create substantial and vivid human forms. ” ” » ” ” ”

Thomas Benton, whose murals for the Indiana Building at the Century of Progress Exposition caused considerable controversy, is represented by a mural-like canvas entitled “Romance.” There's a moving outline to the two Negro figures and the composition, with the strong color, is exciting to the eye. The exaggeration of certain anatomical features and the slight tipping forward of the figures add zest to the work. Maurice Kantor's “Tension” creates just that feeling. Its three girls in colorful yellow, green and red gowns with their tense attitude leave one wondering just what it’s all about. The detached quality of Mr. Kantor’s work and his intellectual approach make it difficult to penetrate. Also of interest in the exhibit is “Mountain f.andscape” by Henry V. Poore, who did the murals for the Department of Justice in Washington. The ultraneatness of the machine age is found in Francis Kriss’ “Self Portrait.” Niles Spencer's ‘Across the Tracks” and Charles Sheeler's “Bucks County Barns.” There's a clear microscopic effect in Alexander Hogue's “Neighbors.” John Steuart Curry, recognized chronicler of American life, has “The Gospel Train,” revealing an evangelistic meeting with figures in the throes of religious ecstasy. Not to be overlooked are Lee Townsend's “The Red Cap,” Bernard Karfiol's warmly colored “Two Seated Figures” and Louis Eilshemius’ Corot-like “Dancing in the Sunlight.” The exhibit is tp close Jan. 30. x = Jim Wilson says this would be a good story if it weren't for the chickenpox. The author of “Three Wheeling Through Africa,” who addressed Town Hall Saturday morning, insists his wife is much better oualified to tell about life in a trailer than he is. Mrs. Wilson received quantities of fan mail after writing an article entitled “You Can Take Them With You” for the Saturday Evening Post. It was ali about how to live a normal life with three children in a trailer. Just now David, age 7; Steven, age 6, and Alice Margaret, age 7 months, are quarantined with chickenpox in the Wilson cottage at the Dunes. Since his wife burst into print Mr. Wilson says he knows how Sinclair Lewis felt over the quips that Dorothy Thompson would run for President. The Wilson family spent the summer in a trailer in the open spaces of Colorado where they “communed with prairie dogs and gophers and mooned over no rain.” Mr. Wilson farms there and “raises more corn per row than his neighbors, but fewer rows per acre.” The other farmers claim he has no rattlesnakes because they broke their backs following his corn rows. » ££ #

2 ” ” 2

~ ” Asked about his reactions to life in a trailer he said they were “pretty violent when all three kids get into action just before a lecture.” The children are quite happy and normal, but he admits “it takes more effort to make a success of life and emotional contacts in a trailer because there's so little room.” It's not so good in the winter, but fine in the summer when they can “put the kids out to pasture.” They have been across the continent six times both ways and traveled 90.000 miles. They broke small Mickey, the baby, into the life of a nomad at the age of 6 months. She gained 10 ounces a week and “turned out to be a regular thoroughbred.” The Wilson family has been spending winters quietly in the Dunes cottage since Mr. Wilson found himself booked for a number of lectures around Chicago and Cleveland and thought it would be simpler to have a base of operations a little farther east than Colorado. They liked the Dunes country so they drove up and down until they found a cottage and an acre and moved in. The children are in school for the first time this winter and from their conversation Mr. Wilson fancies “their teachers are learning something.” Mr. and Mrs. Wilson enjov the quiet life because they “have had so much of people they like to play with the chipmunks.” As a fitting sequel to his first book, which was all about riding a motorcycle across Africa, Mr. Wilson now is completing a volume on hitchhiking through the Orient. He is to spend next year traveling around the world writing letters from foreign countries which will be distributed to schools and colleges in the interest of better international understanding. » s ” ” = ”

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Adams entertained at luncheon Saturday in the Columbia Club for Miss Freda Diamond, New York. Miss Diamond, one of the country’s foremost women furniture designers, recently adapted for contemporary use the designs of the original old Shaker furniture craftsmen. She is one of the few women carrying out the “package idea” of designing furniture, background and accessories for rooms. ” ” » ” 2 ”

Mrs. Nathan Graham, Mrs. Hortense Rauh Burpee, Miss Estelle Burpee and Mrs. A. L. Duggan, Bethlehem, Pa, are to sail Feb. 2 on the 8. 8. Mariposa from Los Angeles for a two months’ cruise to Australia and New Zealand. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Pinnell will leave Friday to spend a month in Florida. They are to go to Ft.

Beauty Routines Wasted Unless They Suit Type

By ALICIA HART

Every woman who cares about her appearance and spends time trying to stay young-looking and attractive, ought to have a good sound reason for every beauty routine she does, It's a waste of energy, not to mene tion money, to do elaborate routines which never were intended for your particular type of face or come plexion. If you know perfectly well that you are one of those fortunate persons who never will have to worry about a sagging chin line or fullness below jawbone, why waste your time patting underneath your chin or bothering with a patter? You'll he wiser to concentrate on the skin around your eyes or the faint lines from nose to corners of the mouth, These are what thin-faced people with pointed chins generally are confronted with. If you can’t decide just what routines to do, better cone sult a facial expert. Have a reason for picking the par« ticular shade of rogue you like to wear. Or the face powder or nail polish. And remember that ‘because Mrs. So and So wears it” is no reason at all. Choose Suitable Clothes

Don't adapt current fashions in

| beauty or clothes unless they are

really suitable, Probably one of the reasons the Duchess of Windsor is one of the best dressed women in the world is that she always buys a costume because it is flattering to HER-—not because she has read that it is the latest craze. Her recent choice of evening dresses with high necklines (to hide the thinness of her chest and shoulders) in a season when very decollete effects are widely publicized, proves this. It often is a good idea to pattern your hairdress after the coiffure of a famous woman of your type. But be sure that she is your type. Also that the hairdress is suited to your mode of living. You can resemble faintly some well known actress, but don’t copy the elaborate coiffure she wears in a costume picture and wear it to your office. If you must mimie her, at least find out how she wears her hair when she isn’t working in a costume picture.

Sorority to Install The Beta chapter of Sigma Delta Zeta Sorority is to install officers tonight following a 6 p. m. dinner at the Canary Cottage. Officers are Mrs. Fred Clements, president; Mrs. Eugene Loeper, treasurer; Mrs. Paul Dausch, recording secretary, and Miss Mildred Jasper, corresponding secretary.
