August .234 1934 W!! METTE Y !E Shzawnee Club Has Exhibit of Oils and Water Colors By Jean Fox A summer exhibit. of 'thirty-one wat er côlors and ois by a group of north shore artists, including Anita ,Willets Buirnhani, Ann Burnham, Hazel Crow Ewell and Edna M. S. johansen, is hang.ng for a number of weeks. in the bail room of Shaw- nee Country club. The show has been arranged by and is' sponsored by the art committee of the club. The Burnham paintings, practicali-y ail of them water colors, tell a large part of the story of the famous Burn- ham trip around the worid. Instruc- tive. as these paintings are f rom the travelers point of view, giving glimp- ses of sights and industries in Spain, Africa, India, France, Siami and stili other more remote parts of the world, the pictures hold yet another story for the artist. Anita Wilets *Burn- ham has a knack for simpiifying de- tail and emphasizing line and form without sacrîficing reality, and in such studies as her market scene of Morocco and her fishing boats in France, she produces' hvely anu clever water colors. It is interesting to compare the twoBurnham paint- ings of Paris bookstalls, one by Anita Wiilets and another by her daughter, Ann. Hazel Crow Ewell is knoWn for her many stilil Ife paintings, in particular for her flowers, and it is a rare treat to have gathered together for coin- parison a collection of such pictures at this' time. On the -east wall is a brilliant painting of a fiower garden and walk, superb for its kind. From a distance of fifteen or twenty feet the perspective anîd formation of the plants and blossoms gain even greater effectiveness. Crisp color, glancing lights and shadows and clear-cut form typify these refreshing water colors of figures and innumerable flowers. Edna M. S. Johansen shows a few stil! life studies and one or two land- scapes, however, in this group her outstanding exhibits are portraits. Miss Johansen has painted. several handsome young girls but of even greater appeal are portraits of a middle aged mani looking out over bis spectacles, cigar and 'newspaper, a grey-haired woman sewing, and a colored servant with dieep chocolate skin, blue-black hair, wearing an ail- white dress and red neck s carf. Strengtb of color and sureness of brush stroke make Miss Johansen's oul painting stand out in any exhibit or collection of paintings. Spode Potter's Wheel on Exhibit at Field's The original potter's xvheel of Josiah Spode,, on which he fashioned the- early pieces of Spode ware which gave his products an international reputation, is on exhibit this wveek on a the lower'floor of the.Evànston st ore of Marshall: Field and comipany.
