Wayne Exhibit at Jewish Center
The second Wayne County Ar-
tists Exhibition opened April 10,
at the Jewish Community Cen-
ter, 8904 Woodward. The annual
show is taking its place among
the major exhibitions in the
city. The purpose of the Center
art committee in sponsoring the
exhibit is to provide a wider op-
portunity for artists to show
their works, and to present a
complete picture of varied points
of view among contemporary
artists.
In an art world that is some-
what voguish at the moment
with non-objective and abstract
art riding the wave of popular
applause, it is good to see an
unbiased selection in a single
show.
First prize, the $100 Michael
Clamage purchase prize, went to
Harry Packman for his oil paint-
ing, "Two Rabbis," an old sub-
ject converted by a fresh point
of view. Painted with a refresh-
ing light and color key, its is
delicate in line and is done with
a style both sensitive and vital.
The Edith Lurie $50 prize
was awarded to Robert Quig-
ley for his quietly romantic
"Park Scene," another excel-
lent prize selection. This pic-
ture is a pattern of single and
grouped figures arranged in
mathematical. harmony
against a background of flat
perspective. Quigley's color is
subservient to design and
mood.
"The Parade," another of the
artist's paintings, has the same
selectivity of pattern and sym-
pathetic presentation.
"Poppies" by Harold Cohn took
the Ireta Lurie $50 prize. The
product of a mature artist and
expert crafts-Ilan, it is one of
the show's outstanding paint-
ings. Three red poppies on a
table against a background of
warm color nuances are relieved
by the cool undertones of the
painting. The surface of the
canvas is enriched by the ease
—
with which the color was ap-
plied.
"School House" won the $50
Mrs. William Sucher award for
George Tick. A water col or
painted in intense blues and
blacks, it could be called a ro-
mantic abstraction. Stick figures
of the children and various de-
tails are easily understandable.
Honorable mention went to
Helen Boose for her fanciful
head of a girl, "Wednesday," to
George Graveldinger for "Gar
Wood," a realistic water - color
aptly drawn, and to Elmer Lak-
atos for his "Portrait of the Ar-
tist's Mother," a skillful char-
acterization and tasteful exam-
ple of realism.
Paul Meyers won honorable
mention for his water-color,
"Early Morn," a realistic land-
scape freely handled in wet
washes, and to Peggy Midener
for her "Field Daisies," a hand-
some flower study painted
with authority and carried to
a well-organized conclusion,
went another honorable men-
tion.
The sculpture entries are few
and not too significant in ach-
ievement. Anna K. Labatski took
$50 Jewish Center first prize for
"Mood", a firmly modeled cer-
amic figure of a girl. Morris
Brose won honorable mention
for "The Father Image," a solid
portrait accurately executed.
Other pictures that deserve
mention are Mary Millman's
"Modern Madonna," Saglim-
bene's "Rustic Table," Henry
Bernstein's "Music Lesson," Sam
Bernstein's "Dancer," LaVerne
Flak's "Self Portrait," W. E.
J o r d a n 's "Transfer Engine,"
Harry Glassgold's "Sunset" and
"Bearskin Neck," Josephine Im-
erman's "Bouquet" and Riva
Shwayder's "Pomegranets."
41,The entire exhibition main-
tains a good level, and there is
an honest approach to painting
which makes this group showing
worth while to see.
Packman's Prize-Winning Portrait
Israel's Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion, making his first
visit to the United States since
the Jewish State achieved its
independence, will launch the
$500,000,000 State of Israel "In-
dependence" Bond Issue at an
Israel "Independence Day" rally
in New York's Madison Square
Garden on May 10.
Americans from communities
throughout the country will be
present at Madison Square Gar-
den to welcome the head of Is-
rael's government.
The evening's celebration will
be highlighted by a roll-call of
the 48 states whose representa-
tives will report on bond sub-
scriptions already received. The
enthusiasm generated on May 10
is expected to provide added im-
petus for a vigorous bond drive
throughout the country.

operating at a profit, Dr'. Dov
Joseph, Minister of Transport
and Communications in the
Government of Israel, declared
on his arrival in this country
by TWA plane at Lt Guardia
Airport.

special stamp was being issued

orate the inauguration of the

Rise in Exports

rael rose from 9 per cent of Is-
rael's total imports in 1947 to 37
per cent, or more than $110,000,
000 worth of commodities, raw
materials and producer machi-
nery in 1950, Israel Minister of
Trade and Industry Yaacov Geri
revealed.
Mr. Geri stated that "the
forthcoming Bond Issue in the

credit by those who wish Israel
well to finance these vital pur-
chases.
