The most ephemeral of all effigies - the snowman - is there, and so is the hardiest- the pumpkin‐head or jug‐head harvest figure. The beguiling creations at the museum, a few salvaged from farms, but most of them recorded in photographs during their brief existences, are the picturesque makings of “The Ephemeral Image-Folk Figures in the Landscape.” With them are other figures that, with the changing seasons, inspired other artless artists. ![]() The tattered figures that from time immemorial ruled in corn and lettuce patch are not alone. ![]() Effigies that have scared the timid rabbit to scampering safety, the noisy crow to raucous flight and even the hardy woodchuck to wary reconnaissance are in a scare crow company, beginning to day, at the Museum of Amer ican Folk Art, 49 West 53d Street. ![]()
