There is enormous original charm to Taul Ashbrook's five etchings.

It is a rugged, virile portrayal of the life of ordinary people a kitchen scene. Here cooking and Ironing are going on; here is no ordinary impression, no trembling essay; here are manner and style of handling; here is a complicated motive, not related in any descriptive way, but woven into a rich pattern of black and white. You are in the presence of an artist who understands the life of her country and who can transfer to you in a convincing manner her thought about it. Charles Sheeler's etching, No. 1 of his industrial series, next caught my eye because Miss Bacon had tufted my thoughts to a high pitch In an appreciation of American spirit and energy.

It sets forth a section of the yards of a railroad terminal. The principal motives are, of course, engines, cars, track and railroad sheds. Every important form is conceived, is set down with clear Intent and without gusto. It makes an absorbing number. Nothing is overemphasized or made insistent for the means of effect, yet there- is an intensity about It, a dignity that makes one give it full consideration.
