Geld VQV ilQ M D ririM r- r Adlai Has Reason to Smila Voter KUNDBD lASf 4g& mm (i)ttsi 104 Year DCDOIO One doesn't hive to be highbrow lo enjoy the exhibition of paintings . and sculptures from the collection or Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., now being shown at the Portland Art Museum. Most every one has an appreciation of color and form, and most of these paintings are exceedingly rich in color. Most of the canvases are from the art classics but there are a few In the modern or contemporary style to show products of that school. There la a range too among the national groups: Italian, French, Flemish, Spanish, English, Dutch, j T help the uninitiated an illus trated catalog is available, and there are guided tours each after noon In which the leader points out the aignificant features of the several works. Perhaps the abiding. imp' ression carries away alter viewing the exhibit is the perfection of the. art, the skill in drawing, the attention to detail, the play of lijht and shadow, and the splendid use of color. The Italian paintings in particular were velvet smooth. i It is the moderns who paint with palette knife or fingers. Another impression that lingers is the site of the canvases. Here we are ac customed to small or moderate sized paintings as for homes. The Europeans painted for churches and palaces and spacious halls; and apparently "time" was no ob ject with them. Most of the subjects are of groups, though there are a few pieces of portraiture. Many of the theme? are religious, some from! mythology. The collection does not ; include many landscapes, nor are! there very many of the French' impressionist school. The display will continue on ex hibition through Sunday, and all who can and have any interest in art at all should try to attend. It is a treat achievement to bring this rare collection to Portland, and the people of this area should be wry grateful to- .Mr, Chrysler for his loaiv.and Thomas C. Colt, Jr.. director of. the Portland Art Museum for his part in obtain ing the collection for local view ing.
