ROCKPORT
Sculptors in Rockport:

Miss Cornelia Van A. Chapin and Miss Marion Sanford, notel sculptors, have left their New York studio and have taken up residence for the sum-mer at a cottage at 1 Marshall street, on the Richard Recchia property.
 Miss Chapin, who carves portraits, figures, and animals-in-the-round di-rect from life, is secretary of the na-tional Sculpture society, chairman for sculpture of Artists for Victory, Inc., and is a member of other art groups, such as the National Acade-my of Design (A.N.A.), the Sculp-tors Guild and the Allied Artists of America. Her Byzantine Christ is on the high altar of the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. Her “Giant Frog” (1800 pounds) a permanent resident of Rittenhouse square. Philadelphia, was purchase by popular subscrip-tion. Thomas J. Watson purchas-Ed her “Giant Hare,” carved direct from life in Portuguese marble, for the Art center at Endicott, N.Y. In addition to one-man shows in New York. Philadelphia and Washington she has shown in many international expositions and in museums throughout the country. Her works are represented in public and private collections in Paris Rome, London, New York, Philadelphia, and else-where.

 Miss Sanford, twice awarded a Guggenheim fellowship, from 1941 to 1943 inclusive, was represented in many exhibitions for season just closed, including the Pennsylvania academy and the National Academy of Design, where she was elected an A.N.A. this year. She was also elected a member of the Allied Art-ists of America and the Architec-rural league. In the winter of ‘43, she had a one-man exhibition of her sculpture at the Bonestell gallery, 18 East 57th street. The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts purchased her “Harvest,” study of a woman absorb-ed in the work of harvesting, for its permanent collection. In 1937, her figure of “Diana,” carved in black bronze, was awarded the Anna Hyatt Huntington prize. Her “De Pro-fundis” received the Elizabeth N. Watrous gold medal at a recent ex-hibition of the National Academy of Design.
 Miss Chapin and Miss Sanford plan to remain in town until late Septem-ber.

Annual Rockport Display
By Dorothy Grafly

 Outstanding in the black-and-white section are lithographs by Stow Wengenroth ranging from a great owl to lobster pots; bits of old France by Mr.Hornby, Alan Crane’s amusing “Cape Ann Mood,” with old Victorian house for background against which a cat stalks a butterfly, a woman stands in tall grass, and flowering weeds vie with dark foliage for interst. The same artist’s “Maripasas at Patzmaro” reveals similar ability to suggest relationships. Max Kuehne, J.M. Buckley and Alice Harold Murphy all contribute in-teresting jottings in black-and white. Sculpture, as usual, is sparse. Marion Sanford’s “Butter,” an ac-tive sketch of a seated farm woman stirring in a big bowl strikes one as the most significant contribution in the medium, while Cornelia Chapin’s ebony hare and Richard Recchia’s idealized head, “Dawn,” touch less topical sub-ject matter.
