24152. University Women Enjoy Talk About Vincent Van Gogh "Vincent Van Gogh" has had a great influence upon modern painting because of his own work and because of his constant striving for perfection, stated Mrs. Etna WUlff before members of the American Association of University Women, at their dessert meeting at the home of Dr. Margaret Smythe last evening. Mrs.

Whiff, who is educational director for the De Young Galleries and the Palace of Legion of Honor, traced the life of the Dutch artist, stating that the sensational aspects of his life have been too much stressed, since they bear little relation to his work as an artist. The director emphasized that he became an artist only because of the family into which he was born, a family of art dealers. If they had been in the coal business, he would have, also. Mrs. Wulff said that his early work, because of his lack of training, was gray and dull.

But upon arriving in Paris, he was introduced by the modern school to light and color, particularly light, and began work, lasting for a period of ten years, which has brought him much fame as well as influencing a great many moderns. Mrs. Wulff called Van Gogh a modern, emphasizing that he can only be classed in this school, although he has been dead for 45 years. She concluded her talk by showing a group of prints of many of his pictures. She was introduced by Miss Grace Ward.

Preceding the talk, Mrs. R. H. Mumm gave a group of piano-logues, including "The Childrens Party, "Movies and "Spring Gardening. Miss Manila Dunning had charge of the serving.
