"Room 110," winner of the first award in the 1944 Carnegie show, is the painting that caused more discussion than any other in the 1945 annual exhibit of the Ne braska Art association. The sub tie balaace of the arrangement of odd objects from the artist's studio seems to hang by a thread figuratively and literally a thread that holds up a fragile vase. Further study shows that the painting is both serious and witty full of surprises. Kuni yoshi's varied accomplishments will be represented in Nebraska by two of his best paintings when this still life is placed beside his subtle portrait of the "Spanish Soprano," purchased in 1943. A very different still life is the bold study in glowing, intense color Karl Zerbe's -The Mag nificent Fish." The medium of this painting is encaustic, done by mixing colors with hot beeswax and applying theta with a brush Lincoln 8, Nebraska' Teachers' Tea Honors Guests Of Pi Lambda Pi Lambda Theta.

Lan nf e Art. The internationalization of .the language of modern art is a prod uct of our times that is strikingly illustrated by painters like Zerbe and Kuniyoshi.

He is a third generation sculptor, but his tal ents have departed from the tra ditional styles used by his father Theta Sigs Plan '45 Journalism banquet . . . Thursday at Cornhusker BY RUTH KORB.

"Sandy' Calder has an inventive, playful approach to serious art. His train ing and experience as an engineer and his ability as a mechanic (actually a blacksmith) give his work integrity. -Calder's sculptures are made of open forms, with points or at tachments that enable them to move about, thus the name "mo biles." The "Snake on Arch" is a sort of super-toy that consists of two parts: A spirally formed snake that is pivoted on a tripod of design comparable to a piece of mod or n furniture. As an example for students who intend to enter the profession of industrial design after the war, this Calder bronze will be a valuable incentive to experimentatiofn and Invention.

George Cross's "Fallen Trees" shows one more phase of his skillful water color style to compare with two others in the Hall collection. Boardman Rob inson's "Doc Hill" is done in a modern medium, casein tempera, and is perhaps the best of his il lustrations for "Spoon River An thology," the subject of the ar tist's lecture in Lincoln last year. George Luke's water color sketch, The Ice Wagon," is a spirited im pression typical of his keen ob servation of life in the city. Jose de Creefts pen drawing, also recommended, makes a fine com panion to his bronze sculpture "Harvest," bought in 1943. Terms of Beqaesi.
