...summed up her basis for aesthetic evaluation by exclaiming admiringly, "Imagine all the work that had to go into that!" Then there are people who believe: those who can, do; and those who can't, become critics or members of juries. To answer these, the Festival included an ancillary exhibit of two paintings each by members of the selection jury: Loring Coleman, Fannie Hillsmith, Gyorgy Kepes, Walter Meigs, and Richard Ziemann. These were all excellent of their kind, though only Miss Hillsmith, with her (to me uncongenial) neo-Grandma Moses manner, could be said to be committed to a wholly...
...Boston Arts Festival, which recently concluded its annual run in the Public Gardens, was the center of more than the usual controversy. As in previous years, the main subject of contention was the exhibit of paintings. Last year, the Festival's painting exhibition was wholly invitational; in rebellion, a group of painters banded together to set up nearby a vying exhibit of their own.

In the Educational Group, the award went to Harvard's newly-opened Quincy House. The jury commented: "A courageous and successful attempt to prove that a building well designed in a modern idiom can take its place in a Georgian style environment with dignity, assurance, and grace. The structure has been thoughtfully organized in plan and elevation. It is fresh and a real contribution to the Harvard campus, thoughtfully and beautifully detailed...
...Festival did without the usual exhibit of crafts, which are frankly peripheral anyway. But I must protest the exclusion of photography, which was such an outstanding part of the 1959 Festival. Photog- raphy is certainly an "art," even if not on such a high level as the other acknowledged arts...
