Peasant Portrayed in Work Of Artist Van Qogh Perhaps no other artist of modern times has displayed his inner self, his loneliness, melancholy, and way of life in his work as has the Dutch post- impressionist, Vincent Van Gogh. Estranged from his family and re jected in a scries of romantic interests, Van Gogh sought out peasants, miners, weavers, and outcasts to substitute for the companions of his natural environ ment. One hardly needs to know the history of the man. His paintings, pencil sketches, and water colors now being shown at the Art Institute reflect his struggle through 37 years of life. Glorifies Worker In his first major composition, The Potato Eaters, Van Gogh becomes the peasant painter. He glorifies the gnarled hands and the dumb, hopeless expressions of his subjects. Somber tones of blue, black, and brown create the carthiness in his Work and are characteristic of the early peri od in his life. The portrait work of the artist resembles the work of the early period technique is smooth and there is no gradation of shade and shadow. Bright colors are placed next to bold outline for emphasis. Uses More Color While in Paris, under the influence of Pissaro and others. Van Gogh brush ed aside* the method of drawing and technique, taking up a greater interest in pure, bright colors. These he ap plied directly in the manner of the Pointilists. Flowers, houses, peasants, and trees form upon the canvas in short, thick brush strokes with paint unmixed and applied heavily. The increasing straiii and nervous tension of Van Gogh is evidenced in the later middle period work and final paintings of his life. Artist Was Lonely The artist was often without friends and always without companions. His emotions are bared by his use of color He alone could combine pure compli ments, such as the red and green in Gauguin's Armchair, and make them pleasing to the eye. Van Gogh chose the color which em phasized the feelings of his subject. In this way he projected his own indivi duality and personality in every thing he painted. Seldom has there been an artist possessing as many self- portraits. Vincent Van Gogh's works are classi fied in five groups, each based on a particular locality which influenced his art Holland, Paris, Aries, Saint- Remy, and Auvers. Climaxes Genius It was in Auvers that Van Gogh climaxed his genius and lost the mind which was pending destruction since his early days in Paris. Wild move ment, living, swelling fields move across his canvas. Plants of still life take on the appearance of jungle growth. The mood is sad, the style violent. Van Gogh's last work, Crows Over the Wheat Field, suggests the rest lessness proceeding his submission to complete' insanity and death on July 29, 1890. Art Majors Do Projects Viewing a partially completed Senior Art project are Art majors Evelyn King, Norma Kafesjian, Bernadette Jacobs, Ellen Anderson, and Patricia O'Shea. (Story on Page ,1.) Tomorrow is the first day of Spring I The budding vines along the staid white stone are revitalizing the col lege from without, while the quicken ing student pulses have respirited the building from within. PASSING OVER ... A demonstra tion of new spring fabrics, by Miss Mary Wines of the Celanese corpora tion, March 15, ushered in the spring activities of Alpha Omicron. Helen Meindl, president of the club, has an nounced that Alpha Omicron has pur chased a sewing machine from funds raised by the sale of fruit cakes and recipe books. DO RE MI . . .

FOUR STARS * * * * to the film, Guilty of Treason, now being shown in Ihe loop. The story of the Communist treatment of the Hungarian Cardinal, Joseph Mindszenty, in the recent trial and life imprisonment that rocked the Christian world, reveals the savage principles that arc endangering the lives of many Catholics today. Besides its timeliness, its theme makes it a must for Catholics. FOLLOWING . . . the lead of a metropolitan daily, your columnist has polled students not on their favorite views or colors or books but on their most satisfying moments. A few students have exotic moments, like Judy McNulty who counts her visit to St. Peter's, Rome, as her most satis fying moment, and Ellen Anderson, who remembers her first view of the Mona Lisa in Paris, and Grace Benedetti, who recalls the day she assisted at Mass and received Holy Communion at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Eileen Duhig and Eileen Tracy count their flights to New York and to Flori da, respectively, as most rewarding ex periences. Margaret Foran remembers with satisfaction the first time that she drove alone, and Marilyn Resch puts a halo around the day on which she passed her freshman Chemistry course. Mary Frances Mulhern counts as extra satisfying the day she merited an A on a Freshman English theme. Marjorie Neff derives satisfaction from mountain climbing, signalling the day she reached the lop of Glacier Point in Yosemite after a four and one-half mile hike. Joy Fanelli rec ords the day she started using con tact lenses, and Joan O'Connor re members with satisfaction her first day at Mundelein. Helen Schneider recalls the thrill she experienced at sight of her first attempt to create still life in oils, and Rosemary Palermo still glows with happiness when she remembers the day she was elected class social chair man. Peggy Reidy remembers the Christ mas eve she heard the Paulist choir at Midnight Mass, and Patricia Tyrrell's high point came the day she learned her family was returning to Chicago after living in Texas for a year. Simplicity rates with Rosemary Rouse, who remembers with intense satisfaction when I made my first cake that didn't fall, and Marcella Farrell, who likes to remember the first time a thoughtful person thanked her for being sincere. In a lighter vein was the feeling of Bette Tholl on Feb. 24 at 12 m., when Senior Comprehensives were over. Helen Stewart has only one comment to make, it hasn't happened yet.
