Notes and Comment on Events in Art By CARLYLE BURROWS

Negro Life

Tempera paintings of Negro life—in the army and in the Deep South—are offered by William H. Johnson at the Wakefield gallery. In this show of two-sided interest Johnson deals out his Army scenes with humor, treats his Negro life in the South more according to his taste for intense color and pattern. The display contains many delectable character studies, not the least personal and decorative of which are pictures of jitterbugs, street musicians and like subjects. Johnson's color is strong and his designing exuberant.
