Hale Galleries
Competent, sometimes lively drawings and glassy paintings record Mr. Weiner’s recent trip to Europe and the Mediterranean. The paintings are curious, like enamels or varnished collages, and one feels he would be more at home solving design problems. As for the drawings, they are in the current style of illustrated articles about trips to far-off places; they are the sort of thing which swelled the notebooks and diaries of well-educated travellers in the days before the camera. Now that most people take pictures, it is refreshing to find someone who will make them––but they remain part of a personal record rather than informing us with precision, emotion, or depth.
