Lt. Col. Hedlund
TaJks on KFAB
From Overseas
Lt. CoL Earl Hedlund, former
student, will be heard by tran
scription from an overseas broad
cast on KFAB on April 13 from 4
to 4:15 p. m. .
The broadcast will.be part of a
news broadcast at that time.
Colonel Hedlund graduated
from the university with a bache
lor of science degree from the col
lege of agriculture in 1938. He
was a member of Farmhouse fra
ternity and was active in student
affairs at ag college.
"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

He served as director of .the

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

Works Selected
Hall Collection
chase help to round out the study
collections. 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.
