At the present time, he is a guest at the home of the J. E. Swansens on Lalceshore Drive. I Swansen has been in France for the past five years studying art at the University of Nice. His success and acclaim by French critics for his Paris exhibits have been a source of great pride for our coun try. The- "Arts Et Spectacles" had this to say about Le Americain, Vern Swansen: "His original in spiration is always from scenes of nature but they move between rep resentational and highly designed pattern. The composition is totally abstract. The outstanding charac teristic in his work is subtlety and also shows much use of design, precise but complex' and which in color has extreme refinement-" And from another review, "The American, Vern Swansen, of Scan dinavian descent, has an ability in design perfect in execution. His paintings aro stimulating and ex citing. Ho exhibited at the Oallery of Beneait as an artist without comparison. His paintings show a sort of Scandinavian Insight with European emotion and through it all, indubitably show a North American work. From the point of view of proportion and rhythm, freedom and Intensity wHh a deli cate touch, an ensemble is made which will support any analysis. Tho United States has a good painter in vern Swansen." My comment: "I wish I had said that." All I can do is confirm it, with emphasis. His travels in Europe have taken him to Austria, Italy, Spain, West Germany and England.- He feels that the American people have Lose Weight Whan you takt aym bafor bimU, m di rect ad, you automatic cally aat lata, loaa might naturally.
