A large group of distingvished art patrons, headed by Ambassador and Senora de Tellez of Mexico, were the guests of the Corcoran Gallery of Art yesterday afternoon at the initial show- ing of a special exhibition ‘of more than 1,200 examples of native Mexican art organized for the American Fed- eration of Arts for exhibition in vari- ous cities of the United States. The Corcoran Gallery was kept open an hour and a half beyond the usual hour yesterday to permit its guests to view the exhibit before the public open- ing today. Officials of the gallery said that this special exhibit, which will remain here until April 22, affords the citizens of this country perhaps the greatest opportunity ever presented -to learn what their Mexican neighbors have done and are doing to cultivate the fine arts. After its showing in ‘Washington, the display,will open next in the Milwaukee Art Institute at Mil- waukee, Wis. Officials in Attendance. Among the officials who attended the private opening were Secretary of the Treasury Mellon; Francis White, As- sistant Secretary, of State; Justice Har- lan F. Stofe of the United States Su- preme Court; Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director genernl of the Pan-American Union, John C.

Since its first showing in this coun- try at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, October 15 to November 9, the collection has been viewed by upward of 120,000 persons. It has been shown previously in Boston, Pitts- burgh ‘and Cleveland. ‘The exhibition was praised by Mr. ‘Whiting, who said its great significance “4s that it shows the strong native art feeling which has persisted in Mexico despite the European influences which have lasted for 50 many centuries. One of the most important phases of the exhibition is that it enables Americans who have not been to Mexico to have for the first time some idea of the beauty of the native Mexican art,” he e xplained. Officials of the Corcoran Gallery of Art likewise stressed the importance of the display, which they characterized as international. It was seen as an appmpmu medium of strengthening appreciative understand- bet.ween the two North Ameri republics. The Mexican government, it was said, had lent its moral support in collecting the fine examples of weaving, pottery, metal work, pictures and other Axflcla and had been most generous also in contributing many things from its own national museum. To Remain in U. S. 11 Months. Announcement was made definitely today that an extension of time for kuying the exhibit in this country has been obtained from the Mexican gov- ernment. It is to remain 11 months be- ldexlnn elulm lives.

As a result, Homer Saint-Gaudens, director of the department of fine arts of the Carnegle Institute of Pittsburgh, was asked to survey the fleld in Mex-~ ico and to_outline the scope of the ex- position.

Count d' Harnoncourt is a young Austrian, an artist, who has spent the past five years in Mexico. He is & profound student of Mexican art in all its forms and an enthusiastic collector. Many of the examples to be found in this display are from his own private collection. It was through his lnxemmy and per- sonal supervision that the exhibition was arranged in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, occupying two large rooms on the second floor and wall space on the stairway and corridoss for many o( the rugs and blankets. Owing to the wide variety of the 1,200 or more examples, officials said it was one of the most difficult exhibitions to. arrange that they had known in years. ‘The present exhibition particularly represents an attempt to organize the achievements of the last two decades of struggle of Mexico to nurture a true and individual culture. Examples of the modern arts, wholly Mexican in charac- ter, represents what Count d'Harnon- court refers to as the “conscious” phase of the exhibit. In the other room are displayed ‘the “unconscious” art of the natives, including many rare and. an- cient examples loaned from the National Museum of Mexico , and .the State Museum in Guadalajara.
