BARONESS EXHIBITS HER PAINTING HERE Clo Hade Reveals as Many| White Values as Whistler Did Blue. Baroness Hertha Doblhoff, an artist who finds. as much variety in white as Whistler did in blue, is exhibiting some 44 of her paintings and monotypes at the Corrado Galleries, 1331 Connecticut | avenue, here again this week | Seven years ago the baroness came ¢ York to attend an exhibition | portraits by husband, Baron Doblhoff. An official of the gal- | earing siie also painted, offered 1o allot space for her work. Thus acci- | dentally was begun a series of exhibi- | ted in Paris, London, and now for the first time While Clo Hade—the composite name Hertha Clotilde Doblhoff invented to avoid confusion with the artist's signa- ture of her husband—displays her ex- traordinarily delicate and various works | here, Baron Doblhof! is busy painting a portrait of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, widow of the late Speaker, and her daughter Paulina. Began Career Early. Baroness Doblhoff was attracted to €rawing and painting from girlhood. Her family, prominent in Vienna and wealthy before the Socialist regime was | established in Austria, indulged her tal- ent. She was allowed to study with the Viennese teacher, Prof. Hugh Darnaut, | and later at the Academie Julian in| Paris. Then she married and went around the world on her honeymoon In China she became intensely in- terested in Chinese art, learned much of their technique of monotypes and, critics agree. was influenced by the | simple, direct lines of Chinese flower work. The effects of this study appear | in most of the score or more flower paintings seen here. | The predominant characteristic of Clo Hade's paintings, however. is the use of white both as theme and back- ground. She employs the color lavish- | Iy, varying the tone from alabaster to cream to gray and any number of other shadings which are peculiarly her own Some of her paintings are totally in white, with but one color—such as the green stalks of lilies—to offset the sin- gle tone. et there is nothing monoto- nous in these canvasses. They have as much perspective, light and | shadow as many artists can obtain from a combination of half a dozen strong colors, vs Loved White. been attracted by | white. Any lovely, white object I see, I want to paint.” the baroness says. “Because of this love of the color, I| have studied it. learned every possible combination I could create from it.” Her preference has not dominated her work, however, to the exclusion of | deep and brilliant colors. Many of the | flower paintings blaze with orange, yel- sow and warm tones of all sorts! | Versatility also marks Clo Hade'’s Yeations. Her still life subjects are | weated delicately, decidedly as a| woman would paint flowers and fruit. | But her drawings are often bold and | strong, the figures strikingly athletic or sharp. In contrast to both these methods is | the soft, hazy treatments in certain | sketches of the New York skyline as seen from the fiftieth floor of the Em- ' pire State Building. Painting in a special studio there during her recent visit to New York, | Baroness Doblhoff recorded her im- | pressions of the ever-changing pano- | Tama Manhattan presents at bird's-eye view. Alw. “I have always May Extend Exhibition. ess Doblhoff probably will close exhibition here at the end of | this week, but may extend it another | week or more Of all the pictures she is showing here, she believes a still-life of a bowl of fruit—mostly lemons—to be the best When she leaves here she will go to Florida to arrange murals painted for 8 house there. After that her plans are indefinite, but she may return to | Vienna, which she still calls home. \ | . Bar: her Servant Stays 80 Years.

By the Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 7-—In the use of a lens-disc as a substitute for the scanning disc in sending pictures by radio a new method of television, or radiovision ant vision) as the scientist calls it, is described by Dr Charles F. Jenkins, the physicist. writ- ing in the Yale Scientific Mazagine which will be published Monday. He says he feels flattered that every suc. cessful effort to make relatively large pictures has employed this lens-disc scanner, and & crater lamp for a light | source. Dr. Jenkins says the new system of to mo- tion pictures, but instead of film mov- ing to give motion, the pictures change on a stationary frame in response to radio signals. By use of this system any size screen can be used. a small in- candescent lamp. like an automobile headlight, being sufficient for home ra- diovisors, synchronized with present home loud speakers. In describing the apparatus Dr. Jen- kins shows use of a lens-disc in place | of a scanning disc for the reason that it gathers more light just as a lens was substituted for a pinhole in the ear type of cameras. The new method also uses the incoming radio signals to build up a picture in the path of a beam of light projected on the screen.
