Emily Forrest, whose work is"
now on view in the Library Gal
lery, is a local artist with national
overtones. She has been painting
here since she and her husband.
Maxwell, owner of a Vass textile
concern, came here, but previous
to that she studied and worked in
the North, in New York and Phil
adelphia.
The current exhibit features
portraits of local people, but, in
two landscapes made on a trip to
Nag’s Head last summer, and in
the dramatically symbolic paint
ing entitled “Portrait of Europe,”
Mrs. Forrest giyes a glimpse of
the scope of her artistic interest
and feeling.
It is this latter painting that
will, perhaps, attract the greatest
interest, for it has a universal ap
peal to which all must respond.
The painting is, in fact, included
in this exhibit at the earnest re
quest of many who have previous
ly seen it. It has figured in each
of Mrs. Forrest’s previous shows,
testifying to the quality of this
work outstanding this year as al
ways.
There are three figures in the
canvas: one is an old woman, one
a yoimg girl and one a fair-haired
child. Each is symbolic, as Mrs.
Forrest has described, of war-torn
Europe after the last war.
“Tired from the long years of
insecurity and strife,” as the ar
tist writes, the old woman forms
the background for the two
younger figures. “The girl por
trays the bitterness, crime, and
degradation running rampant
through the continent,” the child,
“shows the fright and bewilder
ment of that nightmare world,”
but also, there is a look of the fu
ture in her innocent face, with
eyes frightened but still alight
with a child’s never-failing hope.
The portraits chosen by Mrs.
Forrest for this show include one
of Leo Walper, showing the well
known golf professional clad in
red shirt and holding the putter
that he designed and made fam
ous. A charming delicate study
we’re bursting with
opHiies

of Mrs. Claude Reams the artist
says “posed a challenge in this
personality where physical and
spiritual beauty are combined.”
Mrs. Forrest’s portrait of her
husband, with fishing rod in hand,
she calls “closest to what I am try
ing to achieve” in the several
studies she has made of her hus
band. As she puts it: “Someone
whom the artist knows too well is
often the most difficult subject to
paint.”
The portraits of the two Causey
children clearly gave her pleasure
in the execution. “Children are
always fascinating to paint,” she
says, “and particularly at this age
when they still have the innocence
of childhood but are beginning to
form the characteristics of their
future.”
The two studies of boats, paint
ed near Wanchese, strike the eye
as different from this artist’s pre
vious work, a development that
will be watched with interest. The
use of color, the depth in compo
sition, the interesting blend of
tones give piromise, it would seem,
that landscape painting is a field
for this artist that would bear
further exploration.
Again, the study of speed,, as
shown in the motor boat PT-534,
is alive with color and flash, the
ripple of waves and roar of en
gine.
The Forrest exhibit will con
tinue through Saturday.
