hibited the evidence of their splendid talents in the art exhibit
held in conjunction with the Azalea Festival Flower Show. May
, and 23. and to those who donated from their private art col­
lections, to have heard the tributes paid them by the charmed
ooservers.
Notable in this quite extensive exhibit were the several paintings
by Mrs. Summerville of Smith River, and a "beauty" of the Smith
River valley by a sister of Mabel Bolick of that ¿rea. We regret
that we do not have this fine artists name.
From the Brookings area, those of Katharine Hardesty, Osa
Johnson, Ruth Garcia, Lillian Weathers, Betty Bolin and Deb
Frazier; from the private art collections: the ancient Chinese and
Japanese tapestries, museum piece of Max Brainard; the rare
Fit n<h etchings of Sydney z\bbott; Mr. and Mrs. Crissey’s Armer
collection and others.
Then the photographic display, in color, by Ralph Vincent, and
from the works of the beloved Margarethe AunP Tisdale who de­
parted from us so suddenly, in which will continue to be tc all of
us "a short time ago.
Since it seems to be the consensus of the majority of the rest
of the artist-contributors that the work of Carl William Dam was
outstanding as representing the old school of painting, and Connie
Luick, the modern; we might almost safely say the ultra-modern
school, we feel that we should pass this tribute on.
Mr. Dam's two portraits that of his associate at the Royal
Academy of Fine Arts at Stockholm, and the one of his little
daughter, and his Aberdeen Hills, were especially well received.
Connie Luick’s are reflects French school of the turn of the cen­
tury with the innovation of the emotions into painting. In a literary
sense, she painty with the back of her brain as well as from the
glance of her eye. However, in the execution of these emotional
impressions and flights into the abstract, there is the solid tech­
nique of the sound painter. Of especial interest were the latest
works, the portraits of the colored woman.
It was a surprise, and an extremely pleasant one, to all to find
so much talent in this area, and many expressed with enthusiasm
and sincerity the possibility of making Brookings drawing from
northern California an outstanding art center of the west.
They feel that we have a great nucleus here and that surely
Carmel and Laguna started with less. Here nature has created
lavishly; a breath-taking scenic background, colorful flowers, the
sea, a spectacular coastline; a temjierate climate not too dry,
not too wet; and energizing, that should inspire all with the urge
to put on canvas, paper, stone, wood or in words and expression
of these talents.
It may be only a dream, but perhaps in the not too distant future
we may join hands, we who are only "appreciators," with the tal­
ented artists and craftsmen to form a delightful Arts and Crafts
Center; to foster a good standard for the work of color, form and
composition. And there are many among the artists capable and
who would be willing to act as instructors, each in his own line:
jewelry, sculpture, textile work, weaving, decorative painting,
moulding, bookbinding, the chemistry of the different mediums,
photography, architectural drawing and lettering. |>oster work, and
of course, all mediums of painting technique.
As chairman of the art committee of Azalea Flower Show, and
on behalf of the other members of that committee, Miss Rose
Baumgarten, Mrs. Lura Leonard, and Mrs, Ralph Vincent, I wish
to again thank the artists for their gracious help and splendid
contribution 82 paintings *o the success of our specific assign­
