THIS CLIPPING FROM BROOKLYN, N.Y. CITIZEN SEP 12 1938 MUSEUM HERE PLANS EXHIBIT OF SCULPTURE Fifty Members of Guild to Be Represented at Showing A showing of contemorary American sculpture by members of the Sculptures Guild will be held at the Brooklyn Museum from Oct. 22 through Nov. 27. This is the second exhibition of this new society of progressive American sculptors and the first formal showing sponsored by a museum. The organization's first exhibition was held outdoors at Park avenue and Thirty-ninth street, Manhattan, last April. Over fifty members willr be represented in the coming exhibition and the work covers a wide range of subject matter and style. In addition to many figure pieces, portraits, and the more conventional subjects, there is much that is inspired by contemporary life and events ranging from humorous political satire to bitter comment on social injustice, while in style the range is perhaps even greater, running from the more traditional forms of realistic portraiture to the severely abstract, and in technique from hammered copper and cast bronze to direct carving in wood and stone. The large majority of the work is of recent origin and many important new pieces are being shown here for the first time. Demonstrations of carving, modelling and finishing sculpture will probably be given at the Museum by members of the Guild during the exhibition. A complete catalogue of the show will also be available with over one hundred illustrations. A preview for exhibitors, patrons, and museum members will be held on Friday afternoon, Oct. 21, and the exhibition will open to the public on the following day. The members of the Guild who are represented in the coming exhibition are: Saul Baizerman, Aaron Ben-Shmuel, Simone Brangier Boas, Sonia Gordon Brown, Harold Cash Albino Cavallito, Cornelia Van A. Chapin, Jose De Creeft, Robert Cronbach, Louise Cross, Alice Decker, Jean De Marco, Jose Ruiz De Rivera, Hunt Diederich, Alfeo Faggi, Herbert Ferber, Mark Friedman, Hy Freilicher, Eugenie Gershoy, Enrico Glicenstein, Maurice Glickman, Vincent Glinsky, Aaron J.Goodelman, Dorothea Greenbaum Chaim Gross, Genevieve Karr Hamlin, Minna R.

Oct. 23.'28 Sculptors Open Modern Display For Brooklyn --------------------- Guild Puts 100 Works in Marble, Plaster, Stone, Wood, Bronze on View in Gallery of Museum --------------------- A full-dress exhibition of modern sculpture, from figures of laborers in ruggedly realistic designs, to imaginative creations in semi-abstract forms, was opened yesterday at the Brooklyn Museum, Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, by the Sculptors' Guild, following a preview for museum members on Friday night. More than 100 pieces in wood, stone, plaster and artificial stone as well as bronze and marble, are being exhibited in the special exhibition gallery. Last summer ther Sculptors' Guild, a newly formed organization of young and well known modern sculptors, headed by William Zorach, Jose de Creeft and several others, staged their first exhibition in the open air on Park Avenue. An invitation from the Brooklyn Museum, whose director of modern art, John I. H. Baur, has arranged the exhibition, brought the several tons of exhibits to Brooklyn recently. They have been installed in a freshly decorated gallery, where the show is being held open to the public until November 27. Different from the conventional sculpture show in which the classical trend in style is traditionally dominant, the modern works at the museum are humorous, as well as whimsical and entertaining. Warren Wheelock's exhuberant small statue of Walt Whitman in one blocky design, shares attention with Dorothea Greenbaum's caricature of a jaded "shopper" in another exhibit and Robert Cronbach's portrait of a "politician" kissing the forehead of a baby in another. More serious, however, are such pieces as Paul Manship's vigorously designed "Pegasus," and the monumental bronze figure "Awakening" by Maurice Sterne, which the museum has removed from its permanent collection. Among the artists represented in the exhibition are Ahron Ben-Schmuel, Sonja G. Brown, Cornelia Van A. Chapin, Saul Baizerman, Harold Cash, Hunt Diederich, Alfeo Faggi, Paul Fiene, Eugenie Gershoy, Enrico Glicenstein, Vincent Glinsky, Aaron J. Goodelman, Chaim Gross, Minna R. Harvaky, Milton Hebald, Milton horn, Margaret B. Kane, Oronzio Maldarelli, Berta Margoulies and Dina Melicov. Also Ward Montague, Hugo Robus, Helene Sardeau, Concetta Scaravaglione, Louis Slobodkin, Cesare Stea, Mary Tarleton, Polygnotos Vagis, Nat werner, Anita Weschler and Adolph Wolff. a series of sculpture demonstrations by artists participating in the show will be held from time to time in the foyer outside the exhibition hall, according to the plans announced by the sponsors of the exhibition.
