'I Con temporaryMexican Art is Portrayed atý Mexican ýVillage Century of Pro gress Exhibits Works of Modem 'Masters By Clara MacGowan (Assistant Prof essor of Art, Northu'esteri University) 0f sucb magnificence and splendor iis the exhibition of paintings,. prints and craft work, assembled by Mrs. AIma Reed of New York and niow be- ing held in ber gallery at the Mexican Village, Nortberly Island, at A Cen- tury of Progrcss, that contemporary Mexican. artists rigbtfully win new international art laurels for their na- tive country. The works of this ex- hibit, whicb will continue until the closing of the fair, not only reveal the artistic genius of individual artists- but also express in a remarkable way tbe soul, the culture, indeed, the v'ery heart of the Mexican people. In this impressive and comprehen- sive exhibition are to be found the autstanding painters of Mexico. Dom- inating the show~ is Jose Clemente Orozco's "Zapata," a large composition iii which the ricb 'dark colors and great forms are so integrated as to rouse one as the music of a sym- phony. In the "Maguey" the plant of that naine is beautifully painted in various tones of emerald green; its leaf forms contrast wit.b the pink sand, cliffs and buildings and the figures of a woman and of a mother NOTICE SEALED BîfDS WILL BE RECEl VED BY THE VILLAGE 0F WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, AT THE VILLAGE HALL, UP TO THE HOUR 0OF 2:00 P.

"Indian Woman," paint- ed in red, deep pink and intense blue, depijcts the tragedy of great sorrow. in this land of sun and light. Rivera WeII Represented Diego Rivera, the storm center of art discussion, is well represented. There is the splendid portrait., "Lupe," a study of bis foýrmer wif e who posed for a number of bis Mother Earth -in - terpretations, perhaps the most fani- ous of which is thie one on the walls of Chapingo. The appealing littie figure in red in "Indian Girl," who is kneeling on a tan mat with a hand' on each knee, is effectively placed against a light red background. Here is a sculptural quality that one sic fre- quently niotes in Rivera's work. His "Landscape," a charming and re- strainied study of pale yellow bouses, possesses in its color schieme a silvery sheen which plays throughout the %vork. Rivera bas also three small water colors, which were painted ini Russia. The third painter whose naine is associated with the foregoing is David A. Siqueiros. His "Landscape,", an irrangement of rugged cliff s and huge organ cacti in grays and very dark greens in the foreground almost sul- houetted against a livid red sky whicli softens and darkens as it approaches the zenith is unforgettable. In the middle distance is shown a line of heavily burdened people marching across a great expanse. Above this hangs a portrait, "Girl's Head," a dignified and somber piece, comn-uni- ,cating a serions mood with its dark colors. Canvases by Charlot' jean. Chariot, Frencli artist and archaeologist of Mexico. ba, con-' tributed some fine canvases. He lias succeeded in painting two markedly different interpretations of the sub;- ject "mother and child." In one hie bas portrayed people of the valley type, while in the other hielhas de- picted t.' pes living in Yucatan. The former has a daring use of bright pink and white in contrast to dark flesh tones, whereas in the latter the mother is clothed in white and the colors surrounding bier aire soft pale blues, pinks and greens. His "Mothî- er and Son" and "Mestiza" are twoD other sinaîl geins. In the treatinent f these and other topics, ChiarIot re- veals bints of bis great knowledge of Aztec sculpture. Julio Castellanos' "Two Figures" stands out as a strong expression of three dimensional forins. The richi red brown figures contrasted with gray wallsý and green rush seated chairs present a monumental effect. Inx a similar color scheme, Lozano bas, a painting of two heads, as togv nodelled. Interprets Spirit of Music Valentine Vidauretta bas three paintings of individualitY. The, large one, "ýSong," interprets admirably the pirit ot Music., It is a study of a rroup of singing meh. and: womenP wliose bronze skins are vivid con-F trasts to the garments of white, deli- E ,ate Pink and violet and to the, gayZ lowers and foliage of the background. ti In bis paintings "ýCorncribs" and tI 'Dawn" there is a -peculiar luminouse jualitv, wbicb bas been secured by T ippl.ving oil colors to paper. Thisi g ;me artist lias executed a great tr pural covering the wall. of the cafe ai 7cing tbe north gide of the court of tf lie Mexican Village. A successful pi %-o dimensional treatnient, this -mur- tf 50 july 26, 1934 al interprets the Mexican people -as tbiey live, work and play. *Figuzre" by Amelio Amero is a dramatic conception, in, wbicb, in a cameo-like manner a female nude and clraperv are rendered in black, and white with accents of a delicate pink against a background of briltiant Ired, Contrasting this is Kitigawa's "The Barnyard," a study in textures with the massing of various areas, result- ing in an intriguing effect. Portray's the Primitive The word "primitive" best describies the two paintings of Fernando Leal. His "The Hero," wbicb basmuch to commend it, is a two dimengionai ar- rangement with emphasis on pattern 1and color. "The Street Singer" is likewise in this style witb violet and red predominant. In addition to bis successful and richlv colored oil, "Two Indian NVoim- en,' Carlos Merida bas eigbt water colors, tbe subjçcts of whiclb are hoth. figures and Iandscapes. These the artist bas bighly stylized. George Crespo has a striking water color 'en- titled "Four Heads." They are studies of Vera Cruz types. Tamayo ini bis three water colors produces an un- common effect, that of the ricliness and darkness of oul colors. Vermilioxi, dark dull blue'and grayed white are niost prominent in these works. Engravings Fascanate' 'l'lie wood engravings, lithographis an(l ink drawings constitute in theni- tion of the exhibit there are, beside,; the work of Orozco, Rivera and CharIot, exceptional examples 1) v L.eopoldo Mendez (wbose pieces ar'e intense an.d vivid), Covarrubias, br. AtI and many others. It is indeed fitting that an exhibi- tion like this sbould include outstand- ing accomplisbments in craf t work. Here are masks of tin and ,%-(od, gourds, pottery, melates Or %woven mats, serapes of superb designs and tunusual feather work. The study of this craft gives another insight -into the creative spirit of the 11e.xican people. Completing this fine show is a group of pbotographs of murals re- cenitly painted in Amnerica. First, there is the Dartmouth series, onlv finished this year by Orozco; second, several of tbe destroyed frescoes painted by Rivera for Radio City. Just before their destruction. ai event wbich startled the art %vorld. this last group of pbotographis %vas secured b-y Luce Bloch. It inay bie of interest to readers to know that, according to word jus'ýt re- ceived, the two giants of this scec- tion of Mexican artists, Orozco and Rivera, are at present at work on opposite walls in the National theater in Mexico City. George Cre .spo, one of the exhibiting artists in tbis show,,. is belping Orozco, A final feature tô be mentioned Ini connection with this5 exhibition of Mexican art is that Mrs. Reed, who has done arc-haeological work in Mexico and who Personally knoWs the artists she is featuring, is lectur- ing daily in bier gallery. Alexan der d Dobkin is assisti.ng bier.
