THE BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE—OCTOBER 15, 1950

This Week in the Art World

Hopkinson Still Master Painter in His Eighties

AROUND the corner to Lowry Day. Water color by Charles Hopkinson

By EDGAR J. DRISCOLL, JR.

There were plenty of exhibitions to choose from last week, but the rest assured of the best was the exhibition of water colors by Charles Hopkinson at the Boris Mirski Gallery, 163 Newbury St. The show, which opened on Monday and will continue through next Saturday, is the first one-man show of water colors by this distinguished Boston painter.

At the age of 80, Hopkinson is still a master of his medium. His water colors, which are mostly of the New England coast, are remarkable for their freshness and spontaneity. They are not the work of a man who is merely going through the motions of painting, but the work of an artist who is still deeply interested in his subject.

The present exhibition includes some 20 paintings, which are mostly of the New England coast. They are not the work of an artist who is merely going through the motions of painting, but the work of an artist who is still deeply interested in his subject.
