...this was a pleasant change for Wanamaker's, it was no less pleasant for the Congress artists, who would like nothing better than to become home furnishers in their line. Unlike the anti-War & Fascism exhibition which the Congress held along with its Carnegie Hall session last December, last week's show emphasized quality. Sculptor William Zorach's Football Player, a lineman relaxed on his haunches, impressed critics as one of the few successful handlings to date of that oddly difficult subject. Artist Marc Perper's Poverty was an unusually solid work of imagination...
Last week Arthur Leroy Bairnsfather of Birmingham, Ala. could not get over his surprise at what had happened down in Montgomery. A big, bushy-haired artist who once studied under Frank Duveneck (TIME, April 25), Mr. Bairnsfather never goes far afield for his subjects. Last summer he spent about 30 hours, smoked about 60 pipes, doing a brown and silver study of Dr. George Washington Carver, famed old Negro chemist at Tuskegee Institute. When the Southern States Art League, proud nurse of regional consciousness among artists from New Orleans to Charleston, held its 18th annual exhibition last month in Montgomery...
...sketches on display in the current exhibit are the result of a trip through the far West last year, and they form a sort of travelogue of the artist's experiences.

A small place of only 6000 inhabitants, this Black Hills village thrives on the mining of copper ore, in which task almost the whole male population is engaged...
...artist is at his best when he is depicting the stern, hard, grim type of miner who lives in Jerome. With just a few quick lines he brings out all the toil and suffering endured by these men, men who, however, still enjoy life. Another point in which the artist excels is the remarkable effects he achieves by the use of just a few colors. An excellent example of this may be seen in "Arizona Hills...
...right and read last, and the total effect will be senseless. If it is felt that the couplets are needed to explain the murals, it might be better to wipe the slate clean and remove the murals also. At best they are glorified Liberty Bond posters. The great artist who painted them can no more have considered them representative of his best work than President Emeritus Lowell can be believed to have any special attachment for these verses of which he is joint author.
