It is no simple task to span two brilliant and productive lifetimes in a short viewing, but one aspect becomes apparent immediately and that is that both artists from vastly different vantage points have reflected this rapidly changing world. Although Austin Mecklem's life and work spanned the greater number of years, the artist having passed the.

half-century mark at his death, Jenne Magafan who only 35 when death claimed her. was equally aware of the quickening pace of the world about her. earliest painting shown in the exhibition, titled Nude and painted in 1924, shows the strong influence of his teacher Kenneth Hayes Miller. From there the growth of his own individuality progresses through periods such as that marked by the refreshing simplicity of Vacation (1939); the detailed exposition of Grand Coulee (1937); the dramatic Sourdough (1939), a lonely prairie cabin outlined against the sky; the somber industrial scene in Tompkins Cove (1934). In the early Mecklem held closely to his finely defined style as in the beautifully composed Onion Topping (1940) and in the appealing and gentle Paternity (1943).

In the late ho launched his abstractions notable for their brilliant and sparkling quality. Jenne Magafan, who had many murals as well as single paintings to her credit, had begun to attain distinction not only for the quality of her painting, but for her unique and warm-hearted preoccupation with the small mundane scenes about her. A backyard, a rickety back stairway, a sagging porch or a row of rural mailboxes all arrested her attention with happy results. Conversation (1951) is a subtly humorous view of two neighbors chatting on the back porch, and Rural Delivery (1951) merely suggests the life of which they arc the center. Woman (1952) is a housewife at her task of hanging out the wash yet it contains a sense of great peace and dignity.

There is a stark, forlorn atmosphere inherent in Ebb Tide (1948), serenity in Church 'By the River (1946) and tragedy in Empty Room (1951). One of her outstanding canvases is the wild wind-blavvn night scene of The White slousc (1944), and there is again a great sense of desolation expressed in Deserted Street (1945). Jenne Magafan was greatly preoccupied with dwelling places and the telling evidences of the people who lived or had lived in them. Lightning Sets Fire To Emerson Cottage Woodstock, Sept. 14 Frank Emerson's cottage at the rear of the home of Edmund Gilligan, of Bearsville, was partially burned Saturday night when the electric wire leading to the building was struck by lightning about midnight.

According to George Haythorne, fire chief, the bolt of lightning went from the wire into the meter and started a blaze in the wall of the building which spread quickly to the roof. Two engines from Woodstock Fire Company No. 1 went to the scene and quick action by firemen saved the building from further damage. Haythorne said that it was necessary to break into the wall extensively in order to extinguish the fire. Haythorne said that there was no estimate of damage but that it was confined to the one wall and the roof.
