Nelson Art Gallery Is Featuring Works Of Mid-Western Artists
Currently on display in the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City, Mo. exhibit of paintings by contemporary American artists which open
The exhibit centers around the Encyclopaedia Britannica collection art project which had its beginning in 1943 and features the work.
The exhibit centers around the En art project which had its beginning in Mid-Western artists including the late John Steuart Curry of Kansas, and Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri.
"We recommend this book for the use of prospective teachers in elementary, junior, and senior high schools so that they will have sources of material available for art departments which are beginning development," she said.
A book of reproductions of these paintings is currently being used at KU. in a course in "junior-senior teaching methods," according to Maude Ellsworth, associate professor of education.
In addition to the reproductions,
'the book contains short page-profiles
'of each artist represented, along with
'a word by the artist, interpreting or
commenting on each painting.
Professor Ellsworth pointed out that the book is especially adaptable to schools which have no art departments but plan to establish them.
"Through the use of this book teachers can stimulate student interests in art and help students to get appointed with artists who are painting today," she said.
Professor Ellsworth said she hopes to give her class an opportunity to "get a better idea of how to teach art" by sending a group to view the collection.
Paintings included in the collection are Mr. Curry's "John Brown," Mr. Benton's "Boom Town" and John de Martelly's "No More Mowing." These three are exemplary of the "regionalism" which is a trademark of Middle-Western artists, according to some critics, Professor Ellsworth said.
Mr. Hogue recently opened a new art department at Tulsa university and Louis Weinberg, who received his bachelor and master of fine arts degrees from KU., recently joined Mr. Hogue as assistant, Professor Elsworth said.
The same regionalism is apparent in one of Alexander Hogues's paintings of a scene in the dust bowl, also appearing in the collection, she added.

Research Bulletin Concerns Legislation
Veterans and their dependents, as well as others will benefit by proposed bills submitted to standing committees of the state legislature this week and recommended for enactment, according to a bulletin released by the Bureau of Government Reasearch at K.U.
To afford veterans and their dependents direction and assistance through a more coordinated program, the Kansas Legislative council has recommended the organization of a state department of veterans' affairs to replace the former veterans' service committee. A director appointed by the veterans's advisory committee, will employ county assistants, who will advise and assist veterans and their dependents. Appropriations will be increased to meet the expanding need for its services.
The council's first bill would solve the fresh water pollution problem existing in certain parts of the state.
A system of voluntary inspection and grading for fruits, vegetables, eggs and poultry would be established. A large stock of milk control is also proposed.
The council recommends that present school transportation statutes be united into one single act. And the number of judicial districts be reduced from 37 to 30 and judges from 46 to 39.
