Page zkx*e Aian Miiier’s One Man Show Displays Wersatiie Taieni| kk k Reflected In By Dorothy Raymer That young man with a brush, Artist Alan Miller, has a faseinat- ing lot cf paintings on exhibit at ‘the Karns Studio on Duval street. A- jan says he has been written up enough times since his recent re- turn from France where he studied for several months, and that this time he wants to be in the back- ground and have the paintings in the fore. But Miller’s personality is still there, silently, when his work is viewed. i's expressed in the warmth of colors, the sense of hu- mcr, the love of beauty and life, the compassion for humanity whieh he puts into his paintings. The sense of balanced thinking is there too in his extremely versatile pro- ductions for instance in the one tit- Jed “Femme Avec Harieots,” which shew a woman seated with bowed head, a geometric color sec- tion in the background. Expressionistic rather than im-{ pressioni: might be the class in which Miller's artistry might be ea- talogued. But even that. term does- n't quite fit the variable skill | which he possesses. “There's contrast for example. be. tween the oil ‘Mon Restaurant,” which is a glimpse of the Montmar- te of Paris, and the lovely, more delicate work in ‘‘wash’’ called “Place de Concorde.” The first is bolder, and with slightly sad mood. The latter somehow catches the lights and the gaiety of Paris as it is known to travelers and read- ers. The teautiful silver-gold glow of street lamps and fan of eity/ lights blend into the sky and in the twilight, suggestion of a fountain and a janiboree fo traffie, catehes the fancy. Already sold is a varnished oil, “The Dormeise,” picture of a _ sleeping girl in‘a tumbled, disor- dered bed. ‘The buyer is B.

Again, the matter of contrasted moods is evident in subdued studies of a priest, patient nuns, and with a sudden flare, a whirling der- vish of action and color. Cockfight.”’ His latest work, is “Les Trois *Matelcts,” which I suspect he doesn’t really want to sell, if one can judge by the price tag. It’s done in flat, but clear tones show- ing three French sailors in their white, bine trimmed uniforms and wearing the» round French navy caps topped with the crimson pom- poms. There’s a custom attached to those pempoms. If a girl pulls a’ tihy tuftor shred’ from’ any Of them, it’s the sailor's signal that shé is willing to be kissed. The rather vague features of the sail- ors in the setting don’t show this in detail, but the feeling of devil- may-care, laissez-faire, is there in the bold lines and the simple trent. ment, ‘ A more subdued feeling is evinc- ed in “Le Wagon de 3rd Classe,” showing three peasants sleeping huddled in the cheapest train see: lid It-speaks to you of pity, of futility, of the struggle for ‘exis- tence, of humanity en masse.

What’s sarong with that? asks Designer . Edith Head. She is Jaunching a campaign to make the home more glamorous. “Glamor has gone out of the home,” signed the pert brunette who designs clothes for Betty Hut- ton, Bette Davis and other film queens. “There are two oerasions in the day when a man and wife notice each other most. That's when he is leaving for work in the morning and when he returns home at night. Both occasions are duds, sartorically speaking. “When a wife gets up in the morn- ing, she throws a robe arotind her- dresses the kids and spoons some food down the baby. When her hus- band last views her before going to work, her hair is still up in eurlers and she is a mess. “When he returns home at night, she is worn out from minding the kids all day and taking care of the house. She is too busy making dinner to change the old clothes she has been cleaning the house in.” But what can be done about this situation, aside from going into hoek and hiririg a maid? “The wife should steal a few min. utes tc “beautify herself,” said Miss Head. “And if ‘she doesn't have the ‘time to,’ change her clothes, then she should wear a uni- form that would te neat and at- tractive at times. *“Doetors, businessmen, carpen- ters — all lines of work have their own uniforms. Yet the biggest single group of working people— the hcusewives— have no uniform. I think women make a mistake in using their old, worn-out clothes to do the housework in. Thus thhey spend most of their lives in old clothes. “I don’t mean that they have to invest in faney wardrobes. I think cae uniform for the housewife could be the housecoat, which cap be neat, attractive and inexpensive. in it, and stiil look glamorous when ger husband comes home at night.” The housewife could also adopt other eye - appealing cutfits, she added, even suggesting a sarong.
