Simple planes, thoughtfully designed and executed. The Fifteen Gall., 37 W. 57th. Daily, exc. Sun. 10-6 Thru Apr. 16. APRIL 2nd MARCH 41. '38 Cornelia Van A. Chapin Exhibit Sculpture. Lent has made society extremely art conscious. Two exhibitions—Cezanne at the Durand-Ruel Galleries, and Raeburn portraits at the Jacques Seligmann Galleries—are attracting social audiences this week. Now comes the announcement that society in person, Cornelia Van A. Chapin, will have a one-woman exhibition of her sculpture "carved direct from life" to open Monday at the Fifteen Gallery. A native New Yorker, Miss Chapin recently returned from Europe to her studio at the Carlyle. "Camel relief" in limestone, Miss Chapin says, was inspired by Britain's Lawrence of Arabia. Other animal figures she brought from her Paris studios for the New York exhibit are "Turtle," in volcanic rock; "Pelican-in-Repose," in Greek marble; "Penguin" in black granite; "Young Elephant," in an African tree; "Rabbit" in ebony; "Bear Cub" in volcanic rock, and others. Miss Chapin has exhibited in Paris, where the Salon d'Automne elected her a member in 1936, the only woman sculptor elected that year. WORLD TELEGRAM VOGUE COVERS THE TOWN Beginning the fourth of April, the Fifteen Gallery, 37 West Fifty-Seventh Street, will house a one-man show of sculpture by Miss Cornelia Chapin. It includes a number of animal figures carved - and this is unusual - direct from life. Very smooth and simplified, each figure expresses the essential character of its kind, rather more than a particular individuality.
