LIFE Noted "4 rti$ts Show Canvases in Second Exhibit at Shawnee --By V;;;-McD-;;:;;id An unusually fine exhibition of paintings and sculpture has been on this week at Shawnee Country club. There are canvases by Pauline Palmer, Joseph Birren, Karl A. Buehr, Frank Dudley, Charles Killgore, and Anna Lynch, and sculpture pieces by Stephen Beames, Helen Orb Dawes, Elizabeth Haseltine, Albin Polasek, Emory Seidel, Ruth Sherwood, Mabel Lanstrum Torry, Fred M. Torry, and Angelo Ziroli. Pauline Palmer is showing her portrait of "Jane," a striking picture of a lady in mourning, and also "The Old Gown," a sort of "Alice Blue Gown" in which the artist attain s an exquisite texture of blue. Joseph Birren, another popular painter whose canvases are seen in all the sh~ws at the Chicago Art institute, is exhibiting his noted "Three Score and Ten " an old, knarled tree, "Eucalvptus Abloom," "Marshland Sentinel," ~nd others. :Mr. Birren sometimes paints impre ssionistically. His works always have a depth of color, and are alive with sunshine and light s and shadows. Frank Dudley has an ~rray of landscape paintings of which his finest is "DaY Is Done," whi ch depicts a beach sce1;C twilight with a group around a r~mp 11rc: The composition and perspective of this are particularly good. Among the three paintings by Karl Buehr here is the "Study for a Mural," which is an idealistic thing don e in more or le ss academic sty le, but which has a good deal more activity tha_n most of hi s works. Mr. Buchr, who IS a far better teacher than an artist, paints in a painstaking manner, and \Yith the hand of a draftsman, hut hi s work s see m t o lack a certain amount · of vigor. An artis.t of an opposi te type is Anna Lynch, whose works han~ that i.ndefinable quality called "it." Mtss Lynch, who is principally a miniature painter, doc s do large ca1wascs, and these are dominant with color and perso nality. "Spanish Posscssi01.1s" is outstanding for it s depth and nchness of color. hut it dncs hayc a superfluity of detail. A still life, "Midsummer Dlooms." has th e same rich ness of color, particularly of red s and yellows. The light s and shadows arc outstanding in the composition, "}'he Little \Vhite House" by Charles I.... tllgorc, "..·ho is showing one more canvas, "..._ torm Clouds." Among the pieces of sculpture on · exhibition is "First Born" by Angelo Ziroli, which won the Society of \Vashington Artists' medal in 1928; and a charming pice~ by Torry, _ en,~ titled "Wynkem, Blynkcm, and Noc!: who "sailed away on a ·w ooden shoe ; also some candelabra and a flower bowl by Emory Seidel.
