Mrs. B. King Couper to Show Paintings in The Alamo For Hospital Benefit.
Mrs. B. King Couper. of Spartanburg. S. C. will have an exhibition of her paintings on November 6 and 7. from 2 to 6 p. m., at HampdenSydney College. The pictures will be hung in The Alamo, the building to the west of Cushing Hall, on College campus. Mrs. Couper is one of the most noted Southern artists. She is a member of the Association of American Women Sculptors and Artists, and is also a member of the Southern Arts League, and is listed in the Metropolitan Museum among the American painters. She was a pupil of William M. Chase and Elliott Dangerfleld, of New York; Breckenridge, of Gloucester, Mass., and of Andre Lhote, of Paris. Mrs. Couper has exhibited in Atlanta, Philadelphia. New York and other cities. Her pictures cover a wide field of subjects, including portraiture, landscape, and still life. The paintings are mostly done in oils, although there are several pastels. Last summer Mrs. Couper painted in Brittany, and some of these scenes from the coast of Prance form an interesting part of the exhibit. At present the exhibit is being held by Mrs. Brown in New York city, at the Art Center. Inc., 65 East 56th street, and it is this exhibit that she has consented to bring to Hampden-Sydney. An entrance fee of 25 cents will be charged, but to the students of the State Teachers College and Hampden-Sydney will be given a special rate of 10 cents, which will also apply to all pupils of the public schools I of Farmville and Worsham. All the gate receipts will go to the Southside Community hospital, Mrs. Couper having generously agreed to make no charge for express and packing. It is hoped that the loan of this exhibit will stimulate the appreciation of art in the community as well as aid in swelling the hospital fund. Continued on page three
