  “C.W. Jefferys’ art-greeting to 1944 is a series of six magnificent Indian-chief heads on a calendar.  Only a painter with the conviction that true history is not chronology, but the vital record of humanity as a living interpreter of earth could have united the twin arts of detail drawing and revelational color in six such Indian portrait-pictures.”
