- THIS WEEK’S COVER
- Our land is an especially good land these bright-hued, bright-aired autumn days. John Clymer, unable to put all of America on one canvas, settles for a mountain valley in Colorado, where pines and cottonwoods are waging a color battle in the foothills of the Rockies, while up beyond the timber line the slanting sun rays play a red-and-violet game of tag. Is the significance of a painting how it makes people feel? This one makes us feel like whispering, “Thank heaven for such beauty.” And then like breathing some of that tonic blue air, and running up that mountain, and doing a tap dance on top of it. In all this animating scene there is not a dejecting detail, not even those falling leaves—for nobody is going to have to rake them up.
