THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN
Winter 1959
Parenthetically, it might be sug-
gested, that some of the millions of
kodak carriers, would improve thei
photography, by familiarizing them-
selves with Design Fundamentals.
The book in itself is a notable
achievement, and deserves an honour-
ed place with the authors name in the
pages of the Icelandic Canadian. That
she is at present professor of Art at
Princeton University is valid testimony
to her proficiency. As a creative artist,
she is still unknown; but the writer
of this sketchy comment is willing -to
go out on a limb, and predict that
when, if ever, the paintings by Caro!
J. Feldsted—these realistic, yet reverent,
studies in Light and Life—are publicly
shown and evaluated, they will win
her a place in sensitive souls, if not in
halls of fame.
