U.S. TO EXHIBIT
SOLDIER'S ART
Washington-(AP)-The War Department announced yesterday an art exhibition, open to all men in the service, will be in New York from Sept. 15 to Sept. 30. The exhibit is being sponsored by a volunteer group of art patrons, critics and museum directors, the department said, and about 50 of the best works in the New York show will be selected for a traveling exhibition to begin a tour of museums early in October.
Any soldier now in camp or accepted for service before Sept. 1 may submit up to three entries in any medium except sculpture. Works accomplished since 1935 will be eligible for the exhibition.
Space for hanging the show has been allotted in the galleries of the contemporary arts in New York.
Clinton W. Parker, Brooklyn, N.Y. banker, is chairman of the soldier-artists exhibition committee, the department said, and Danniel Cattan Rich, director of the Art Institute Chicago, will head the jury of selection for the New York exhibition.
Gordon Washburn, director of the Fine Arts Museum, Buffalo; James S. Plaut, director of the Institute of Modern Art, Boston, and a museum director still to be named will comprise a second jury which will select the works to form the traveling exhibition.
Among the sponsors of the New York exhibition the War Department listed Edward Alden Jewell art editor of the New York Times; Peyton Boswell Jr., editor of the Art Digest; Mrs. Julian Force, director of the Whitney Museum; Alexander Wall, director of the New York Historical Society; Phillip A. Benson, Brooklyn banker; Mrs. Burton Emmett, Miss Cornelia Van A. Chapin, sculptress: Mr. and Mrs. Jose Camprubi; Admiral Reginald Belknap, U.N.S., retired, and Mrs. Belknap.
