Spectrum Splashes Diego Rivera began to collect sam ples of native Mexican art when he returned to his home from Paris in 1921. Natives hearing of his inter est in these oddities began to dig up humans, animals, pipes, beads, and trinkets, and bring them to him to sell. However, the National Mexi can Museum took no interest in his growing collection. About six months ago it was suggested to Rivera that he give the collection a “public air ing.” Historians found that what was long called Tarascan art is a collection of several cultures. Eth ologist Dr. Paul Kirdhhoff found Rivera had one of the great treasures of the day. A large exhibit was held in Mexico City. Time reports the public found themselves “in a world as whimsically engaging as first-rate Disney.” The style was gay and fresh. Exaggeration was the key note. If you like Monet there is a pleas ing print of Madam Monet in the March 15 Vogue. No doubt the cover on the March 30 New Yorker caught your fancy as it did ours. In the March issue of the Maga zine of Art there is an interesting report and comment on the artist Pedro Figari and his -n'ork. The attractive "work of this Latin-Amer- ican, who died only a few years ago. has recently been brought to the public eye. Born in Montevideo, he spent many years in public service, but toward the end of his life he began to paint almost exclusively. Versatile in subject matter, he treat ed landscapes, gauchos, dances, and domestic interiors. This impression ist has been discovered by those who delight in this manner of painting. Next time you are in town, please drop by the gallery. We are sure you will delight in the' current ex hibit, which consists of the utterly gay and hold art of children in the grammar grades of North Carolina. Like Poetry? COLD SHOWER If she could take Her.self apart. The girl who claims She’s lost her heart Would often be surprised, instead. To find she’d only lost her head! —W. E. Farbstein. MORNING SONG A diamond of a morning Waked me an hour too soon. Dawn had taken in the stars And left the faint white moon. O white moon, you are lonely. It is the same with me. But we have the world to roam over * Only the lonely are free. Saka Teasdale. LIGHT The night has a thousand eyes. The day hut one; Yet the light of the bright world dies IVith the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, ^ And the heart but one; Let the light of a whole life dies \Vhen its love is done. Iranois WiLEiAjt Bourdillox.
