Impressions of Italianý Art," before members of.the Woman's club of Wilmette last Wednesday after- Miss Wilder showed slides of sev- eral of the most important religions paintings in Italian galleries on the nativityý themfie. She was charming and. informai, usually letting the pic- tures speak for themseives., She con- nected them by telling the Italian version of the Christmas story., Almost ail of the Annunciation pictures, said Miss Wilder, are alike in design and, arrangement,. They usually show the Virgin1 sitting on the right, and the, angel kneeling at the left, or bowing. There is always sorne sign of the imminente of the IHoly Ghost, a ray of light or a hand. The angel usually holds a lily in his hand, symbol of the purity of the Virgin. Artists occasionally tried.,to,( vary this arrangement, but t.hey found that it was, af ter ail, the best., They f ound: that they could treat it as they liked, making design, most>, important;, or the landscape,. or bringing out transi- tion of color. Rembrandt used itto,, bring out bis devotion to ý,comnion The A Cappella choir 'of North- western university was heard in three groups of Christmas songs. This body of singers is always worth hear- ing, for the mnembers know how to blend their voices artistically and bring out nuances in each, song. It requires a délicate sense of tone color and feeling forý ensemble. * Xhaterer the. choir cloes is, finely balanced, graceful, and .beautiful.
