V V A tea and program Sunday afternoon at the Evanston Art center i the Evaiiston Public 11- brary openeçl the center's October exhibition of oiîs and water colors by Briggs Dyer and sculp- turing by Nancy Coonsman Hahn of Winnetka. Mrs. Hahn, who has done Iso many charming fountaini and -garden figures and has been ,ex-, ceptionally ýclever 'at obtaining likenesses -of children, shows several of her most appealing children, m. this show. There is a tiny boy gazing for-the first'time. at a grasshopper, a srnail girl holding a fish, and the two little "Prog Girls," as the artist cails one of her fountain pieces. The young grandson of E. A. Anderson of Win- netka done in white glazed' terra cotta, all but- toned up in his..winter overcoat, almost ap-. proaçhes in expressiveness the head 0f, his, grandfather which is displayed in an. adjoining room. Other fine. heads. are those of Ann. Burn- ham, favorably commented upon in otherex- c hibits, and of a young Itali 1an artist which Mrs. Hahn 'mad-e entirely fromn photographsp only meeting him in pers-on after the work was corn- pleted. But the masterpiece of ail in this group is the headof a twLweek41ld baby whieh Mia. Hahn saw and modeled in South America. Its human resemblance is startling, and s0 much truer to reality than rnost sculpturing of very young babies. Mr. Dyer, one of the young members of the Art Institute staff, talked briefiy and to the point at the tea on "What Makes People Paint?" and "Why Collect Art?" At the same time he gave somne valuable pointers to novice art collectors. Why one paints Mr. Dyer certainly should know since the show included some fifteen of his pictures. The five water colors in the group exhibited a satisfying sense of freedom and a- :forceful use of dark colors, especially reds. 'Road to Elyria," in particular, was intense and arresting. Ris oils, although le'ss original and free than the water colors, carried over part of that same richness of color and individuality. "The White House" and "The Chicago River" were amnong the mnost successful. lfanNewConcert Series for Veterans ehi 15, a gr( h school bai tte, soprano Evanston, r 1, Jean Wat- rly of Glencoe, son But], soprano.,
