Paintings By Haitian Artists On Exhibit In Spooner Museum
Twenty primitive paintings from Haiti are being shown in the Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art. The exhibition is from the Galerie St. Efienne, of New York City and will be on display through Jan. 26. These paintings were made at Centre d'Art of Port-au-Prince in Haiti.
Haiti's art is a primitive Negro folk art overflowing with decorative
Haiti's art is a primitive Negro exuberance and childlike observation of Haitian scenes. The artists, who take their work with intense seriousness, include a vooooh priest, pelicman, farmers, taxi drivers, and an airport mechanic. The favorite medium is house enamel, which is usually applied to heavy cardboard.
The Centre d'Art is sponsored by the Haitian-American Institute and the Haitian government. It was started in 1943 by DeWitt Peters, an American artist, who became impressed by the talent with which Haitien Negros decorated the walls of their palm-thached huts. The artists were untrained and shy at first, but Peters lured them into the Centre, bought their paintings for a few dollars, and gave them paints and brushes. By the time he was
An example of this art is the picture "A House in a Village" by Hector Hyppolite which is included in the local exhibition. This picture shows how a primitive painter will often disregard reality for the sake of natural expression. Hyppolite, a voodoo priest, paints in a state of religious ecstacy, firm in the belief that his brush is being guided by the hand of John the Baptist.
through, Haiti was the possessor of a school of native primitive painting.
At last winter's U.N.E.S.C.O. art exhibit in Paris, painting from Haiti stole the international show. Life magazine has recently carried an article on Haitian art and the Centre d'Art.

Born in Paris in 1821, Meryon followed a career in the French navy ore deciding to become an artist. After a few months at painting, he
Born in Paris in 1821, Meryon f before deciding to become an artist. discovered he was color blind. Turning to etchings, he produced great architectural masterpieces, and is considered one of the greatest in this field.
Victor Hugo, who knew Meryon, wrote, "There etchings are magnificent things. The breath of the universe breathes through the work of Meryon and makes his etchings more than pictures, vices."
One etching being shown is number tour in his famous Paris group, a series of views of the city, and it shows one of the exterior galleries of the Notre Dame cathedral.

Dr. Wendt said present levels of production and income were being steadily increased through the use of automatic controls. The most thriving of all industries, he said, was the one producing automatic electronic control instruments.
"We are face to face with a second industrial revolution which will replace the human observer, inspector and operator of machines, as the first replaced human muscle-power with energy from coal."
