ART EXHIBIT IS
WELL ATTENDED
LAST WEEK
Members Art League
Pleased with Crowd
r rid ay-Saturd ay
Approximately 1,000 visited the
first art exhibit featured by the
Rockdale Art League Friday and
Saturday. It was a decided success
and the ladies of the League feei
doubly encouraged by the interest
and appreciation shown.
The entire building was filled with
a collection of paintings and sketch-
es that varied from bowls of color-
ful flowers and fruit to woodland.
Venetian and other scenes, some of
■which depicted difficult foreign ar-
chitecture. Several handsome hand-
painted screens, a remarkable hand- (
made replica of the ship, “Old
Ironsides,” stools of handicraft,
dainty boudoir pices, handpainted
shina, and pottery were noticeable
in the collection.
The section devoted to work oi
pupils of the Rockdale schools dis-
played constructural art as well as
drawings that showed unusual tal-
ent in many of the young people.
The ciay modeling and figures
chiseled out of soap, work of Miss
Wren Smith, drew the attention of
young and old alike. The natural
talent of this young woman is most
remarkable, she having had no in-
struction, and doing her work with
the crudest of materials. One piece
of her clay modeling was especially
admired, a perfect likeness of her
brother-in-law, F. ^sqnivai mount-
ed on a bay horse.
Each contributor of the exhibit is
deserving of worthy mention.
