JhsL CbdA.On exhibition this week and until November 21 at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts is one of the finest collections of works by Texas painters ever assembled. Represented in this group are such well-known Texans as Jerry Bywaters, Ed Bearden, Everett Spruce (who recently won an honorable mention at the Annual Exhibition of American Painter’s and Sculptors at Chicago), and many others. In the main the works to be seen in this exhibition are representative of the regionalist school to which most of these painters belong but on the other hand a good deal of versatility in range of subject matter choice is evident. Following its Dallas showing the collection will begin the first leg of a nationwide tour of large museums. The first stop on this tour will be the new building of fine arts at the University of Texas, then it moves out to the west coast to be seen at the San Francisco Museum of Fine Arts. No definite arrangement of exhibitions following these two has yet been made.Although his output is small and rather spasmodic, Dallas’ William Cole, whose most recent works are to be seen at the museum until November 21, is one of the finest painters of botanical subjects working today. At one time he held a position for the University of Texas making such drawings and paintings for the botany de partment; now his work is of a freelance nature. For his subjects Cole chooses Texas and Southwestern flora, with which he is naturally more familiar. In his paintings there is a sincere feeling for artistic accuracy rarely seen in work of this type, and strongly contrasted to the mechanical and dull quality of most applied art.A group of gouaches by the New York artist Renee Lahn will be on view until November 23. The monthly showing of photographs by members of the Dallas Camera Club is at the museum until De cember 5.One of the most interesting of the current groups at the museum is one of a series of political cartoons, originally published in New Masses, by Boardman Robinson. Robinson has since become better known as a book and magazine illustrator but is also still remembered as cartoonist for magazines of social or political significance. These cartoons are in the Print Niche.Other current shows include early American silver, which runs until November 14, the Hoblit-zelle, Frick, Munger, and Howard collections and the permanent collection.A novelty in the way of exhibitions for the museum is now in session. This is the! presentation of an aggregation of photographs, -! drawings, and paintings dealing r I with progressive city planning. ...! Accompanying this exhibition is a series of lectures on this subject of such vital interest to a postwar United States, and of such genuine artistic interest.Museum HoursSunday..............................2 to 6 p.m.Monday ....................................ClosedTuesday..........................11 to 5 p.m.Wednesday ....................11 to 9 p.m.Thursday........................11 to 5 p.mFriday ............................11 to 5 p.mSaturday ........................11 to 5 p.mE
