NEW YORK SENDS
ARTIST TO CATCH
RIDGESBEAUTIES
Louis Rowell Paints Mountain in Au
tumn Array For Ehhibit
The following story of Louis Rowell
:he artist that resided in Tryon for
nany years, it will be interesting to
lis friends, the story appeared in
The Asheville Citizen last Sunday as
.'ollowsr
Few of the most enthusiastic
joosters of Western North Carolina
appreciate its beauty more than
Liouis ltowell, who recently returned
Tom "New York City to devote a
,'ew months to painting the mountains
in their gala attire of the au:uinn
season.
The country surrounding Asheville
s not new 10 Mr. Rowell, who has
ipent the past 30 years in this vicinty
reproducing on canvas the beauy
of the mountains.
While in New York his work atracted
the attention of able critics
vho induced him to return to Asherille
for the purpose of painting a
:ollection to be' used as a one-man
ixhibit in one of the galleries?a
l^cided compliment to a man who
las never attempted to gain recogniion.
His pictures are distinctly differjnt
from those of other artists,
>robably due to his seclusion from
heir influence. Because of the
lumber of years he has spent In
he mountains he seems to catch
he very spirit of them.
Man Shows Through Worfc
a
Although Mr. Roewll has studied
or years to portray the beauty of
he out-of-doors, he ib never satisfied
There is something within me,"
lays Mr. Roweill, "which is always
toarding me on to something high:r."
He is constantly searching for
>eauty and finds it in the tinest
eaf, the sun shining through the
rees, or a quiet pool of water forms
i picture in his mind,
A few years ago the Charleston
Evening Post recognized the merit
if his work and commented as folows:
"Mr. Rowell's paintings are
ealities. One breathes the air and
sees the sunshine in them."
His gentle, kindly character
speaks in his reproductions of naure
which always inspire a tender
eeling and have a breath of peace
md quietude. The description that
3. H. Marius, the Dutch .critic,
;ave of Mattys Mavis, a famous
Outch artist, most fittingly applies
0 Mr. Rowell, "A stranger whose
sensitiveness makes him very slow
n making frineds; a dreamer, wanlering
and lost in these unsettled
imes."
Fellow Painter Praises Worlt
A noted artist from Chicago who
risked in Asheville recently saw
me of Mr. Rowell's paintings and
s quoted as saying: "Besides be
1 a bn.'nnlNr motnfful hnlrlo
. I1JS LUUIIIII^ail J Uiutoi LUl, lk
i spiritual quality that grips me,
i would never tire of looking at it,
He paints the very atmosphere."
That is the general impression of
those who are privileged to stand
before one of his pictures and who
have that artistic quality which enibles
them t0 appreciate and feel
what the artist has put into it
During an interview he dashed to
the picture he had been working
an, picked up his palate knife and
added a few stroks, then came back
and resumed the conversation. He
says that he cannot paint when anyJne
is watching him unless they are
talking about some other subject He
works from inspiration; he feels
the picture and with apparent ease
puts it on canvas.
"People often ask me if I use
a palate knife," said Mr. Rowell.
"My answer is,. I use a brush, a
palate knife, my thumb, or my elbow?anything
to produce the desired
effect"
He resented the use of the word
"effort" in connection with his work

Crook is the Speaker
AUI V HfTNIYOF.n
ATTEND INTERESTING
MEETING
A large and enthusiastic company
gathered at Oak Hall on Monday
evening last and enjoyed an excellent
dinner, over one hundred being
present.
Mr. Charles. Lynch, the president,
presided. Those participating were
Miss McDonald, who rendered a
beautiful piano solo which was
charmingly executed and greatly enjoyed.
Miss Harrington played the
accompaniments to several Bongs
rendered by Mr. H. M. Carver and
L, Massanovich.
The speaker of the evening was
Mr. J. F. Crook of Spartanburg who
responded to a late telephone call
when it was leraned that Mr. Roger
Miller of the Asheville Chamber of
'H
Commerce telephoned that he could
not be present. When it was learned
that Mr. Miller could not be present,
at the suggestion of Mr. Julian Calhoun
Mr. J. F. Crook was telephoned
to at 5:30 in the evening while
he was wrestling with a stubborn
furnace. Mr. Crook hung up his
poker, grabbed his rain coat and
reached the bus going to Tryon just
as the driver called out, "Tryon only
thirty miles away." S0 Mr. Crook
had to beat Gen'l. Sheridan's famous
ride by ten miles. The rain ^
was coming down in torrents but
Mr. Crook, being a Baptist, came
through. Twenty minutes after starting
they passed through Inman and
the driver, with his chin on the
steering wheel and his eyes glued
to the road, called out, "Tryon twen
ty miles away," Nothing was heard
but the churning of the motor and
the fierce spashiug of the water
against the sides of the bus the
swishing of the wiper over the wind
shield, till they reached Campobella
when the driver called out, "Tryon
ten miles away." The wheels of the
bus sounded lik0 the wild splash of
a motor boat and again the driver
called at Landrum, "Tryon five miles
away." There was a sigh of relief
and just as the guests were going
into dinner there marched in a tall
fine looking man with blue eyes and
an intelligent face. The speaker of
the evening took his seat at the end ^
of the table and entered into conversation
with Mrs. Peattie, who sat on
his right, with as much composure
as if he were a casual guest, and
later on delivered one of the best
after dinner speeched the writer has
ever listened to.
Mr. Crook is a close observer, a
keen wit and his address sparked
with his experience in Tryon. His
thoughts are fresh and expressive,
liis manner easy, and there was no
attempt at effect or pompous oratory
and with a pleasing voice made an
address that the writer cannot do
justice to and only give the outline.
