who attended exhibitions assiduously, as many of them have been exhibited before. Miss Sanford gives normal proportions to the graceful forms of the everyday women she portrays. Her lines and plans are fluid and she has an unusual gift for capturing the grace of her models-a flesh and blood grace-not an idealized one. Her sweater girls are definitely "typical American" but they are also sculpturally classic.

THREE WOMEN SCULPTORS
(Continued from page 1)

Mexico last year out of the native clays which the Oaxacans taught her to use. 
Forming her figures and heads as one would form a water jar or vessel (hollow inside), the sculptor used a brittle black clay, which she dug from the pit which has furnished this community with firing material for hundreds of years. The Indians watched their princesses of fable, their market men and women, their gods such as the Year Bearer, take form under the sculptor's well-trained fingers. Then they fired these pieces for her by their quick-baking process that costs the destruction of as many works as it immortalizes. Miss Duble works vigorously humorously sometimes, and fuses authenticity with pronounced exaggeration in the action and characterization of the somewhat rococo figures she fashions. 
 In utter contrast to her florid style is the group of 15 who attend exhibitions assiduously, as many of them have been exhibited before. Miss Sanford gives normal proportions to the graceful forms of the everyday women she portrays. Her lines and planes are fluid and she has an unusual gift for capturing the grace of her models-a flesh and blood grace-not an idealized one. Her sweater girls are definitely "typical American" but they are also sculpturally classic.
