Musicians Are Hung

The "First Annual Exhibition of Art by Musicians" opened last week at Manhattan's Museum of Science and Industry. Master of Ceremonies was Composer Deems Taylor, whose own efforts suggested to observers that he had best leave the silent arts to such an accomplished brushman as Chairman H. S. Maurer (violinist at Radio City Music Hall). Said Taylor at sight of Chairman Maurer's portrait of Nora: "My God, the man who did that must be a lousy musician!"

The late George Gershwin was represented by his self-portrait posed before his easel in top hat, white tie and tails. Nathan Milstein, top-rank violinist, revealed himself as a minor master in watercolor. Rumbologist Xavier Cugat sketched himself standing before invisible bongo drums.
