WITH 43 NEW 1.00K AHEAD" FEATURES
"The Golden Idol!' by Guy Pa-
lazzola, won the Mrs. Owen R.
Skelton Prize. Painted with mas-
terful technique, the canvas has
an eerie mysticism, the color is
quiet, the mood entirely subjec-
tive. Palazzola seems to belong
to no particular school of paint-
ing, but paints in a highly per-
sonal manner, completely master
of his medium.

...FOR THE YEARS AHEAD!
Samuel Cashwan received
the Fred J. Meinzinger Mem-
orial Prize for Musician No. I,
a pure abstraction in which
one form moves into another
with musical flow, the close-
ness to natures organic shapes
enhances the arrangement of
mass. Another entry by Cash-
wan, "Musician" is an abstrac-
tion of torso and instrument.
Both are executed in wood,
finished as a tactile experi-
ence.
Awards to Constance Richard-
ardson for "March Winds, De-
troit River," for her realistic
green and grey painting of a
quiet scene, devoid of human
activities, and to Edna Burian
Skelton for her still life "Com-
position" pleasant in color and
in the somewhat abstracted
composition.
To Harold Cohn, the "Delia
'merman Meyers Prize" for his
glowing "Sunflowers," painted
with authority in warm tones of
yellow and green, it is a vigor-
ous, fresh oil, done with gracious
artistry. Another entry by Cohn
is "Cathedral" where arches and
spires reach to the sky in a su-
perb pattern. Edgar Yaeger re-
ceived the Clyde Burroughs Prize
for "Still Life with Mandolin," a
painting in lovely color with a
touch of contemporary roman-
ticism.
A number of awards left much
to be desired. Donald S. Thrall's
Chinatown 1950, took both the
Cranbrook Academy Purchase
Prize and the Mrs. Albert Kahn
Prize. It is an abstraction of
nervous, sensitive line, fine col-
or, but the design seems more of
a textile pattern than accept-
able as a painting, seemingly not
held within the boundaries of
