The directors were annoyed. The young man had completed some pieces of sculpture that upset all their traditional ideas of what constituted art.

Also, he had said quite boldly, and in their hearing, that the school suffered from old-fashioned academicism." "We think it better that you withdraw," the directors told the youthful -iconoclast. "You mean I am to be expelled?" laughed the directors unabashed. youthipenko Jeffhe They did "not realize it, but they had driven from their school a youth who was destined to become a vital force in modern art. WORKS ON DISPLAY.

Examples of his work are to be seen in the art galleries of the He has been an American resident for 10 years, and art critics throughout America have hailed him as the exponent of a new and distinctive style in art of a new era variously called the Age of Reason and the Machine Age.

Archipenko works in many med-in wood, marble, bronze, ceramics, gleaming polished metals, clay, leather-even tin--as well as with the brush, in the attainment' of his ends. He is modest, as becomes a great artist. "You may not like my work," he says, "but after all, that is not important, is do not mind, because few will see the things as the eye of the artist sees them. THEME IS WOMAN. "The artist, you know, sees with the invisible eye--the eye of the soul.

My' theme is Woman. I strive to express Woman in the curious correlation of the real and the transcendental. theme tries to Woman the aspect of eternityou something that represents for us, not any individual, but a type-that blending of earth and the ethereal which somehow all of us know is Woman." This is the artist's first visit to California, and he is enthusiastic over what he has thus far seen. "A lovely country," he says. "A wonderful climate; abundant leisure of its people to cultivate the arts.

Abiding interest in the arts, and serious study by young artists to attain the unseen but always precaltornla has already bred artists to world fame. It is a land that must inevitably lead in the cultural arts, and I am happy for this opportunity at Mills College to meet and work with young students who, like myself, are ever striving to express the eternal verities through the mediums they love the Archipenko's work may be seen by visitors to the gallery each Wednesday and Sunday afternoon during the summer.
