Women, Arise! VOLUME XXIII N. Y. ART FIRM PRESENTS SHOW OF'LIVING'WORKS Works of Modern Artists Dis played Novel Exhibit Sponsored by WPA. 12 PAINTINGS ON DISPLAY Works of William Gropper, Peggy Ba con, Aaron Hohrod, Kico Leliurn and Others Shown. The exhibit of Living American) Art now on display in Founders* hall, i made up entirely of paintings by liv ing artists. This is an entirely revolu tionary idea sponsored by the WPA. which is hoping the plan will he backed by the American puhli • as well as the artists. 'l'lu? best paintings ol tlie era can now lie seen by everyone from coast to coast and facsimiles can he purchased for tlie nominal sum of .$.">.00. The artists are young men and worn en who will probably appreciate (lit unprecedented privilege of earning thch laurels while they are living. Aaron It'ilirod, who painted the unorthodox scene of a Chicago home with a junk yard in front of i;. is only -D year* of age: William Cropper, who spent four weeks in the senate gallery and then painted his descriptive picture of the senate in action, is :v.: and kico Leliurn. painter of the picture "Anna," has reached his Jitith year. I'eggy Macon, ol Uidgcficld. Conn., is not only an artist but has also writ ten ton books which she has illustrated herself. Miss Macon's displayed pic ture, "The Nosegay.** is one of her series of Spring Fever productions. "The Nosegay" depicts a very slovenly man pinning a nosegay on the forehead of an old mare who rolls her eyes coquettishly at him. Reginald .Marsh now confines all his painting to New York scenes, although he was born in Paris. His portrayal of "High Waller" was done after watch ing a handsome colored girl in Harlem re.urning home from church with a half-dozen boy friends trailing along. Mr. Marsh left her sweethearts out of the picture as he wished to portray the more secure background of Harlem staircases. Jeorge Irosz, born in (i rmany, has been termed a mordant modernist, al though ar criti s contend he is ahavc reproach, which would seem to depict the (ierinan government as not bel'ig art-mimled as they lined (irosz lit on marks for blasphemy win n his "Nehweijk. the (Jood Soldier" was dis played and caused an international sen satlou. Ilcrr (Srosz* "Central Park" is on display here. The artists whose pictures appear in the display are reprcsen alive ol the foremost scln ols on Modeivi American Art.
