Art Catechism Continues Survey of Gothic Tendencies in Architecture An exhibit of pictures in the United States National bank has been planned to illustrate the Gothic type of architecture which has been under consideration for the last two weeks. Today the art division of the Salem Woman's club asks, and the Willamette university art department answers the following questions: 1. Gothic buildings have an or namental effect. Is this owing to any one architectural feature? Ans. It is not, but ia the com bined effect of many features, each having its own function. 2. What is a recessed doorway? Ans. It is an arched doorway in which the arches, whether few or many, Tjrow smaller toward the interior. Aside from these arches forming a background for sculp tured figures (the doorway of Rhemis had hundreds of these), it also made possible a thickening of the walls at this point without an appearance of clumsiness. 3. Are there any examples in Sajem? ' Ans. The simplest form of re cessed doorway is seen in the First Methodist church, antl also in the First National bank. This doorway, in its perfection, adds great dignity, to the facade of a building. 4, What is a gable? Ans. Gables are seen in almost all buildings of simple construc tion. The term as used to de scribe architectural ornament, had reference to the richly carved and extremely beautiful member placed over doors and other open ings in Gothic buildings. It is purely ornamental. 5. What Is a pinnacle? Ans. It is the upper part of a pier above where the flying but tress join it. It may or may not be ornamental, but usually Is so. It is to a building what common sense Is t oan individual, it keeps 'it anchored to the ground. 6. What Is a finlal? Ans. A finlal is the very top of a pinnacle and is purely orna mental. 7. What Is a rose window? Ans. It is the evolution of an opening to admit light. It is al ways circular and usually beauti fully carved. It was first placed In the front, or west, end of a church. Now, there may be one in the apse and one in either tran sept.' Here the treasures of stained glass are placed. 8. Are aH Gothic towers square in effect - as in Notre Dame at Paris? . . , J : Ans. They are variously shaped. Their beauty depends more upon their ornamentation, their pin nacles, arcades, and gables. 9. What is a gargoyle.? , . Ans. A grotesque figure nsed in Gothic . ornamentation. Notre Dame has many. Many grotesques (strange heads) are seen also. An example of these Ls seen in the facade of the First National bank.
