OBITUARY.
John L. Kipling.

John Lockwood Kipling, father of
Rudyard Kipling, died last Sunday at his
home in Wiltshire, England, He was 74
years old, and well known as an artist,
sculptor and author.

John MacWhirter.

John MacWhirter, died in London
Jan. 28. He was born near Edinburgh
in 1837 and was educated at Peebles
and the School of Design, Edinburgh.
As a painter of landscapes, a master of
detail and technique, and as a scholar
of Lotany, geology, and the natural sei
ences, MacWhirter for more than half
a century had been considered one of
the leading lights of the English scien-
tific and art worlds. Honors were con
ferred upon him continuously from the
time he was twenty-five years old, when
he was elected an associate of the Royal
Scottish Academy, to 1894, when he was
enrolled in the Royal Academy.

He was the son of George Mac Whir-
ter, a wealthy paper manufacturer, and
although his father hoped that the boy
would follow a business career, only

John Da Costa of London is showing
until Feb, 8 at Doll & Richards’ galler-
ies four portraits recently completed.
They are of Mrs. Marshall Fabyan, Mrs.

Charles Bruen Perkins, Miss Polly, the

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin 5.
Webster and of a lady whose name ts not
made public.

In the same gallery there are some in-
teresting old tapestries and hangings, in-
cluding a Gothic tapestry, with an Old
Testament subject, a Flemish tapestry, an
Italian embroidered frontal or altar-
cloth, and a very handsome piece of old
brocade.

Thirty-eight works by modern Dutch
masters are on exhibition at the Vose
Galleries through eb. 11. The display
is one of the most representative imagin
able for this country. It includes typical
examples of Jacob and Willem Maris,
lommers, Neuhuys, De Bock, Weissen-
bruch, Ter Meulen, de Hoog, van Essen,

Kever, Losboom, Steelinck, Jurres,
Snoeck, Hroedelet, (Gorter and Evert

Phe oils, hung in the large gallery,
comprise two Bar Harbor scenes, several |
outdoors at Grez and Nemours, lrance,
eight interiors and outdoors with figures, |
and six outdoors, the last painted in To-
ledo, Seville, Cordova and Ronda, Spain. |
The watercolors, pastels and drawings |
have a wide range of subject, from the|
New England coast, N. Y. Harbor, Old}
Lyme, Conn., Oregon and the Harney |
desert, to Holland, Southern France and)
Spain. The artist is essentially a lover|
of and seeker after “summer and the
sun,” and the present display runs the
gamut of high and hot color under tropi-
cal and sub-tropical sunlight. The oils, |
as a rule, are aglow with sensitive, throb-
bing color and sunlight, rendered with|
sincere sympathy and feeling.

()f the oils the simple truthful view of
a street in Grez, France, with a female
pedestrian passing, is the strongest, in its
very simplicity. Here is nothing but-a|

IN AND OUT THE STUDIOS.

\ cable to the Sun from Berlin states
that the Kaiser has refused to confer the
order Pour le Merite on Auguste Rodin,
though the sculptor was unanimously
recommended by the Academy of Arts.
Phe Kaiser has always opposed modern
tendencies in art,

Mheodore K. Pembrooke is holding an
exhibition of decorated screens in his 67
St. studio, These are representative of
the Louis XIV, XV, and Adams and Co
lonial periods. The framework is orig
inal in design and elaborately carved and
toned to effectively set off the paintings
by the artist himself. The paintings are
good in color and are poetic in sentiment
and feeling. The exhibition closes today.
It has been well attended and successtul,
nany sales having been made.

S. Montgomery Roosevelt, the por
traitist, whose portrait of the late Oliver
H. P. Belmont is reproduced on_ this |
page, has won reputation of late years,
not alone for the prominent men and
women he has painted in New York,
London and Paris, but for the sincerity
of his work. A pupil of Benjamin Con
stant, and other famous French painters,
his work has still marked individuality.
His aim is to get the outline and charac-
ter of a sitter in a single sitting, then to
add details in further sittings. He rare-
ly effaces or changes what he has painted
after careful study of his subject.

One of his early sitters was Mr.
Thomas B. Clarke, who selected him to
paint his portrait for the Lambs’ Club.
\ recent and successful work is a por-
trait of Mr. Louis Gilot, vice-president
f the Etchers’ Society in Paris, which
will hang in the coming Spring Salon.
Freshness of color and grace of line,
-haracterize this, as well as other works.
‘Premier Coup” is his motto and hence
the directness in his work.

\t his Sherwood studio, the artist now
is painting a full length standing portrait
f Mrs. George Albert Burt. It is a dig-
nified work, well composed, good in color
and an excellent likeness. <A proof of
the esteem in which Mr. Roosevelt is held

France, is his recent decoration as a

valier of the Legion of Honor.

Richard Maynard is painting a_ full
length portrait of Miss Grace Koehler.

ist was of Mrs. Martin J. Littleton. He

THE MUSICIAN,
By L. D. Yacobian.
\t Kt. Aharonian, 24 West 32 St

Lovers of antiques of the near Orient
will find several good pieces included in
an exhibition at the art rooms of Mr. K.
\haronian, No. 24 West 32 St. There

‘is also a collection of 16th century Per-

sian miniatures, and one of Sultanabad
vases,

Of especial interest are several small
Greek figures. L. D. Yacobian has also
on exhibition in the same rooms, several
of his paintings. The artist is a gradu-
ate of the Yale School of Fine Arts and
was awarded the Wm. Wirt Winchester
Fellowship in 1906 for his “The Musi-
cian,” reproduced above.

ico, are also shown.

At his Gainsborough Studio, Edward
Potthast has completed a group of Al-
pine scenes, painted last Summer. Crisp
virile impressions, they convey a truth-
ful, convincing impression of the gran-
deur of mountain scenery. He has be-
gun a large canvas of the Grand Canyon
which promises interesting and origi-
nal results.

evidence that so many pictures had

Commissioner Morris, that the com

incline towards the Jury system.

The Commissioner presumably found
himself confronted by a dilemma and
only careful study of the list of artists

artists and art lovers to decide whether
he has impaled himself on either horn
of said dilemma. Whether or not, in

| Aschitectural Leas Exhibition.

The twenty-sixth annual exhibition of
‘the Architectural League of New York
| opened to the public in the Fine Arts
(Galleries, No. 215 West 57 Street, on
Sunday last, Jan. 29, and will continue
‘there through Feb, 18. The press view
'was held on Friday, Jan. 27, the annual
‘dinner in the Vanderbilt Gallery, which

|way amd especially in the few and brief
| speeches notably those of Mr. Charles
ik. Miller, Congressman Sladen and Bor-
Lough President McAneny, the same even-
ing, and the private view on Saturday
last.

Phrough regrettable and unexplain-
able carelessness of management, there
were no catalogues ready for the art
writers, and the few supplied on Satur-
day were soon exhausted, so that this

notice is necessarily written from hasty
and hurried notes, while no photographs
of any of the interesting exhibits could
be procured for reproduction in the Art

will be rectified another year.

The Allied Arts are all adequately rep-
resented in this year’s display, which with
the subordination, almost elimination, of
ithe erstwhile overpowering and dispro-
| portionate showing of architectural plans
and elevations, will be found most inter-
lesting and attractive by the art public.
| Among the 835 exhibits are many beau-
tiful mural paintings and decorations,
some good sculptures and a rarely good

display of drawings, many in color, and

cartoons. ‘Lhe prizes were awarded as
follows :

The Henry ©. Avery $300 prize for
the best design for a mural fountain to
be placed on the wall of a building at
the intersection of two streets to Law-
rence M. Loeb architect ; Henry
Krueger, painter, and George Lober,
sculptor. Mention was made of the de-
signs resulting from the collaboration of
H. Van Buren Magonigle, architect; E.
\l. Magonigle, painter, and Leo Len-
itelli, sculptor, and of that bearing the
names of Charles W. Foster, architect;
| Robert K. Ryland, painter, and Edmund
| Ouatroechi, sculptor.

ican Academy in Rome, for his mural
“Heroes of Antiquity,” for Mrs. E. H.

awarded, the committee reporting that no |

attention and study are Barry Faulk-

noted, with stiffly posed figures and awk-

feeling and treatment reviving the sym-
bolism of early Roman art and very ef-|

fective, are the best of the exhibits of the
kind.

Among the architectural exhibits, not |
above mentioned, the best are the Forest

terbury, the imposing and beautiful Uni-
versity of Minnesota building by Cass
Gilbert, the new Havana railw. ay station
by Kenneth Murchison and the Fulton

eled, a large and beautiful memorial re-
lief oe Daniel C,

relief figures for the Federal Building at
Cleveland by Isidore Konti, are among
the best sculptures. |

In his opening address at the annual
dinner, President Boring urged the es-
tablishment of a State Art Commission,
which should work against the accept-
ance of inferior art works, and for the
erection and artistic adornment of pub-
lic buildings.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Academy of Design Defended.
Editor American Art News.
Sir:

Recent criticisms of the National Acade1

f Design by those honestly ignorant of
shia or purposely ignoring them, may ha
led some of the unthinking public to
lieve the Academy was a close corporati
as charged, and only local in its charact
There is no use going into a long argume
ito the contrary, nor do | care to enter int
any controversy, for we are bound to he
; the same from time to time, as some art
|}imagines his art not appreciated, or sor
knocker at the door is unwelcome.

The first of these charges ts easily r
futed by referring to any of the recent cat
llogues of the Academy Exhibitions wher
it can be plainly seen that the non-membe
greatly exceeded the members in the numb
|of works exhibited. I might also state, f
the information of those who are réally ho
est in this criticism, that many works
| members—even those by members of th
| jury—are rejected at each exhibition. Th
charge that there is nothing national abou
ithe Academy is absurd. What makes a
| body national if it is not that all parts of
the nation are represented, and what body
in the United States can boast of this as can
| the Academy? An artist making a repu
tation, or striving for one, does not usually
remain in a state where there is little en
|couragement for art, but goes abroad, or
|comes to New York, the art centre of this
country. Thus, the Academy is, not only
| national, but really international, as_ its
| members have come from the following
States and foreign countries:

Ala., Cal., Conn., Del., Ill, Kansas, Ind.,
Ky., Maine, Mass., Md., Mich. Mo., N. H.,

N. J., N. Y., O., Pa. R. I, S. Tenn., Va.,
Vt., Wash., D. C., and Wie: also Austria,
Brazil, Denmark, England, France, Ger-
many, Hungary, Holland, Ireland, Italy,
Sweden and Uruguay.

It might as well be said that our Congress
was only a local affair.

We are also informed by our critics that
our exhibitions are inferior to those held in
Washington, Pittsburg, Chicago or Philadel
phia. This charge is, as far as the number
of exhibits go, unfortunately true, for we
have not the building in which to exhibit
and cannot force a quart into a pint meas-
ure. But the time is coming when we will
have what we are striving for, and this will

| be hastened if the gentlemen who are try-
jing so hard to find faults (which if exist,
lcan easily be remedied) will turn their at-
| tention to the fact that art in this country is
fast becoming the best in the world, and the
|} Academy is, and will continue to be, the
motherhead, with its splendid traditions of
| sents hinety years and its unrivaled mem-
bership. If the works of Academicians and
\ssociates were withdrawn from the ex-
hibitions in the above-mentioned cities,
what would be left? Practically nothing!

Now for one last word. When the Acad-
emy has its permanent home it will, we
hope, also be the home of the Architectural
League, the National Sculpture Society, the
Water Color Societies, the Mural Painters
and other bodies, each under its own name
and management as at present, but exhibit-
ing in one great annual exhibition that will
be the art event of the year. And mark
this, it is coming—right here in New York,
and the National Academy of Design will
“make good.”

NECKLACE FOR PICTURES.

\ cable to the Sun from Paris says that
the Count de Choiseul, brother of the
Duke de Choiseul-Praslin, who married
\Irs. Hamilton Paine, and recently fig-
ured with his wife in the D’Aulby case,
exchanged five pictures, claimed examples
f Van Dyck, Hals, Rubens, Ten Eyck
and Lely, which he had bought from the

|dealer Van der Perre in the Rue Georges,

for $4,200, for a pearl necklace, with a
M. Walter, a jeweler, for $18,000. The
Count claimed that the pictures belonged
|to the de Choiseul galleries but Mr. Wal-
iter learned that the house where he saw
them belonged to Mme. Serrano. He
also learned that the Count had sold the
necklace for $8,200. As he was not paid
on April 15 last, the date set, for his neck-
lace nor since, he has lodged a complaint
against the Count, a go-between named
Pfister, and Van der Perre.

LONDON LETTER.
London, Jan. 25, 1911.

A picture on view at the Mendoza
sallery, in New Bond St., “There is
o Death,” by Italo Sabartini, is at-
racting great attention. It emphasizes
‘ith force the reality of a continued
ersonal existence.

\ recent exhibition at the gallery of
ir. W. B. Paterson (5, Old Bond
street), says The Connoisseur, showed
he late Sir Francis Seymour liaden
n the guise of an artist in watercolor
ind charcoal. The bulk-of the water-
olors were early work anterior to his
success as an etcher. They were all
listinguished by‘ vigor; but, as com-
vared with the master’s etchings, dis-
lisplayed promise rather than perform-
ince. Some were curiously reminiscent
§ the works of the older school of
vatercolor painters, and were not dis-
inguished by any marked originality
f outlook, The charcoal drawings be-
longed to a later period, several of
them, all those dated bearing the dates
1878-9. These were broad and atmos-
pheric, a litthe sombre in treatment,
but, as a rule, finely composed and
marked by a fine conception of tonal
values, That they were as original or
as great as his etchings, however, could
not be said.

Warwick Goble’s watercolors illus-
trating “Japanese fairy legends,” shown
at the galleries of the Fine Art Society,
inevitably invited comparison with Ar-
thur Rackham’s more robust drawings,
especially in the examples in which the
coloring was reinforced by pen work,
vet there is this essential difference be-
tween the methods of the two illustrat-
ors, that while Mr. Rackham uses color
only as an adjunct of his line, with Mr.
Goble, pen work is of little vital im-
portance, and he is quite as happy when
he dispenses with it altogether. The
watercolors at the same gallery |

|.adv Louisa Charteris were those of a}

clever amateur, a little undecided in

texture, but bright, pleasing, and nat- |

ural,

Recent information is to the effect
that the British Museum may not get
1e collection of Egyptian and Assyrian
treasures left to it by the late Lady
Meux. A clause in her will requires

the collection to be kept together, while |“

a rule of the Museum stipulates that

all valuable collections shall be scien-'

tifically classified and arranged. As a
vay out of the difficulty it has been
suggested that the bequest would make
an excellent exhibition for some large
ity in the British empire.
The controversy over the famous
Vax Bust continues. Dr. Bode still
ypes to change the verdict of a major-
ty of German artistic opinion which
is been passed against his Flora bust,
nd in the recent issue of the official
eports of the Berlin Museum, he cites
rther evidence to support his view

at, if the bust did not come from the|

udio of Leonardo, it is certainly the
duct of the Italian school. Among
her experts, he mentions M. Edouard
uuet, the Parisian expert and restorer
the technique of sculptures in clay,
ry, and wax, who has written a let-
to Dr. Bode in which he says in
rt: “I am convinced that this bust
nnot be the work of Lucas. The
hole style points to its being the pro-
iction of a great master. The appear-
of the material, the tone of the
ix, the patina, all are identical with
imerous works in wax of the XVI
d XVII centuries, which I have had
repair. I have had some practice in
stinguishing between what is genu-
and what is counterfeit, and I am
ivinced that the Flora bust is an old
a of the Italian school.”

DY

OEHME PICTURE SALE.
For the 93 pictures,
which formed the stock of Mr.
Oehme, the veteran dealer,
retired from business, Mr. Thomas E.
Kirby obtained an announced total
$56,595, at Mendelssohn Hall, Friday
evening, Jan. 27. This was a disap-
pointing result, as it had been hoped
that Mr. Oehme, for whom
sympathy in his illness and consequent
forced retirement is felt and expressed,

Julius |

would realize more from the dispersal | «

f his good stock, which is said to have
cost him about $100,000.

But the season is not a good one for
picture auctions, and some of Mr.
Oehme’s stock had become old fash-
ioned, as for example the examples of

Kaemnrerer and Kowalski, The Bar-|

bizons and Dutch pictures in the sale
were not well supported by the dealers,
jand some went at almost bargain
prices. The excellent Diaz, which sold
for $4,600 and which was secured by
|Mr. P. J. Goodhart, is said to have cost
| Mr. Oehme some $11,000,

The dealers were out in force and
among those present were Messrs.
Schauss, Reinhardt, Vose, Glucksman,
Durand-Ruel, Knoedler, Scott and
Fowles, Fay, MacDonald, Schultheis and
Thompson. There were comparatively
few private buyers, but among tthese
were Messrs. Hugo Reisinger, who se-
cured a good Pissarro for $1,075, A. A.

Bock for the low price of $210, P. J.
Goodhart, and M. M. Lehman.

BLAKESLEE-CRIMMINS SALE.

A total of $55,967 for 124 oils from
the collection of Mr. John D. Crimmins
‘and the Blakeslee Galleries, was the an-
nounced result of the sale of said pic-
tures at auction at the Clarke Art
Rooms, No. 5 West 44 St., on the even-
ings of Jan, 25-20,

The collection was not a harmonious
one as Mr, Crimmins’ pictures were
chiefly moderns, and the Blakeslee of-
ferings were old historical portraits.

the most attention Firmin Girard’s
“Flower Seller’ brought $1,500, and
Munkacsy’s “Feeding the Favorite,”
$2,750. Two cabinet Corots of good
quality, brought $1,900 and $1,600 re«

NEW ART CUSTOM RULES.

Secretary MacVeagh has issued new
customs rules to govern the importation
of art objects. Art works not less than
20 years old, in future, include tapestries,
paperhangings, glass windows, clocks for
ornament, or household furniture. All
such articles must pay duty. Bronzes,
paintings and furniture, more than 100
years old, will continue to come in free,

liberal interpretation of that term.

YOUNGSTOWN (0O.)

Arrangements are being made by
Charles Owsley with the Pennsylvania
Academy to exhibit 100 pictures here,
next month. Among the artists whose
works will be on view are: Thomas P.
\nschutz, Charles Grafly, Alice Barber
Stevens, Hugh H. Breckenridge, Mary
Butler and Nicola d’Ascenzo.

DUVEEN TRIAL POSTPONED.

The case against the firm of Duveen
Brothers on indictments charging un-
dervaluation was called in the U. S. Cir-
cuit Court last Monday. Neither of the

'defendants, Messrs. Henry J., and Ben-

'jamin Duveen was present, and the case
was set for trial March 6.

| The painting of the “Virgin and In-
ifant Christ,” attributed to Quentin
|Matsys, has been stolen from a private
house in Antwerp. It is valued at
$20,000.

PARIS LETTER.
Paris, Jan. 25, 1911.

Manuel Barthold has returned to his
Paris studio, after spending some
months in Zeeland, Holland, where he
laid the foundation for his two Salon
pictures, on which he is now working.
In addition to studies of Dutch peas-
ants, he has painted many landscapes,
which he intends to use in future im-
portant work, It will be remembered
that this American painter was awarded
a silver medal for his “Holland Girls,”
a large canvas exhibited in the Inter-
national section of last year’s
tional Exposition at

Interna-
Buenos Aires.
“Femme a la Poule,” and “Le Livre
Neuf” are two of his pictures bought
by Madariaga, who placed them in his
special Salle in the Buenos Aires Mu-
seum,

The exhibition of pastels by Arthur
Wardle at the Tooth Galleries is. one

of animal life studies and show strong
\draughtsmanship, action, play in line
| character and color. “Tigre buvant,’
jhas a beautiful scheme of color ; “Sauvé,
iL ionne et Lionceaux” is strong in ac-
tion; “Seigneurs du Nord—Ours Po-

,- )laires” has every quality of a water-

color in the transparency of its deep
blue sea; its color scheme being blue
and white. “Surprise” has strong beau-
tiful color, with intense nervous inter-
est. “L’Alerte—Pumas” is a strong sil-
houette in grays,

The Little Salon of the Cercle Vol-

ney, which recently opened, contains
as usual a number of interesting works,
including a bust portrait by Bonnat of
a young woman in blue, a bust portrait
of a man by M. Cormon and two pr
traits by Gabriel Ferrier, on
onel and another of a mem»
Institute, both in uniform.
also two portraits of huntsm«
M. Dawant and Marcel Basciret re-
spectiv ely; two portraits “in the lit-
tle,” by M. Weerts, a delicious present-
ment of a child in ball costume, in the
manner of Velasquez, by Raymond
Woog, and also a portrait of a little
girl by Paul Chabas.

It is to be regretted that the two fine
portraits sent by Jules Cayron should
be so badly hung, as they deserve a
better place. The same remark applies
to the portraits shown by Richard Hall.
Other good portraits are shown by Par-
era, a Saint-Pierre, Muller, Guil-
lemet, Georges Claude, Boisselier, de
|Cool, Fournier, and one of M. Porel by

but must be bona fide works of art under | Jean Sala.

| In landscapes Aston Knight shows an

admirable work, and there are striking
canvases by Gosselin, Gueldry, Bou-
choc, Brugairolles, Cachoud, Chigot,
Waidmann, Girardet, Guignard, Iwill,
Nozal, Regamey, Remond, and Le
Gout-Gerard.

The sculptures include two busts by
Denys Puech, a bust of Velasquez by
Stanislas Lami, and one of M. Leonce
Benedite by Paul Paulin.

“Les Quelques,” an association of
twenty-five women artists, is holding its
annual exhibition at the Chaine and Si-
monson galleries in the Rue Caumar-
tin. The display is an interesting one,
and has several superior canvases.
Among those best represented are
Mmes. Cazin, Desbordes Jonas, Galtier
Boissiére, Duranton, Devolve Carriére,
Paule Séailles, Stettler, and de Boznan-
ska and Mlles. Beatrice How, Florence
Este and Ethel Carrick (the last three
Americans), There are also some sculp-
tures by Mmes. Geneviéve Granger,
Wallis, Sara Morris Greene, Bernieres-

‘Henraux, Poupelet, Millet, Klee, Druon,

EXHIBITIONS NOW ON.

Loeb Memorial Display.

<T

the late Louis Loeb closes at the Lotos
Club this evening. The display was in
teresting and a deserved tribute to the

dead artist, too soon called away, but|
~ “*4 » “ee ino 7 . at | , . .
contained really nothing of note that | eling and expression an alluring work,
has not been seen and noticed before. |

The exhibition, as did previous ones,
evidenced how the dead painter had ad-
vanced from his earlier and somewhat
saccharine landscapes, to the production
of figure work and portraits, character-
ised by dignity and seriousness of feel
ing and treatment, and rich color qual
ity. The “Jessica,” loaned by Mr.
Smithers, the “Miranda” from Mrs.
Bonner, and the “Byblis” of Dr. Hum
phreys, it was a delight especially to
see again.

Portraits by Harrington Mann.

\fter Francois Flameng’s hard, if
brilliant fashion plates, it is a pleasure
of contrast, to see and study at the
Knoedler Gallery, No. 355 Fifth Ave.,
this week, 14 portraits by Harrington
Mann, the English artist who paints
with sincerity, skill and true artistic
feeling. There are no staring, over-
coiffed and dressed women in Mr.
Mann’s canvases. He paints his sitters
more as they are than as they might
perhaps sometimes like to appear, but

natural expression that
makes them creatures of flesh and
blood, with “like passions to ourselves”
and does not, like MM. Flameng, Kop-
pay, and other foreign portraitists who
come to New York, make them dress
maker’s and milliner’s puppets.

The presentments of Mrs. C. D. Bar
ney, Mrs. Horace Harding and the
Countess de la Greze are excellent, and
good likenesses. He has painted Miss
\larie ‘| en pest a she 1S, f; uithfi illy and
effectively, but his presentment of Miss

he Ives the

Grace George is marred by a hard back
ground, which tones too much with
the figure, to make the latter stand out
although the portrait isa g

Mr. Mann’s groups of Mothers and

” 1 one,

Children, suggestive of Gainsborough
in composition aid coloring are most
effective. He is a_ thoroughly well
equipped and able po rtraitist.

In the same gallery are some minia
tures by Miss Alice Riddle Foster, un

}usually good in drawing and color, but

none of them inspired, while faithful in
likeness for the most part, and no doubt
satisfactory to their owners.

Miss McLane’s Portraits.

Miss M. Jean McLane (Mrs. Johan
sen), is Showing at the Folsom Galler
ies, No. 396 Fifth Ave., through Feb
11, 24 portraits, mostly of mothers and
children. The artist, whose strong
work has been commended before in
these columns, reveals herself in this
attractive little display, as sympathetic
a student and painter of motherhood

!and childhood as Miss Cassatt and Miss

Lydia Emmet. Sympathy and feeling,
in fact, are the characteristics of her
work and with good knowledge of fig
ure drawing and an unusual colorist,
she translates the varying moods and
expressions of mothers with their chil
dren, and of the latter, both truthfully
antl convincingly.

The “Girl in Green,” seen before, re
mains one of her best achievements,
finely drawn and posed, excellent in
good in color, ‘The
Hilltop” is also an unusually good
group, well composed and instinet with
\life and movement. \n unusually
strong show for a woman painter.

Early Italian Pictures.

\t the E. Gimpel and Wildenstein

(jalleries, No, 636 Fifth Ave., there are
on exhibition through Feb. 18, seven
A memorial exhibition of the works Of | care fully

chosen examples of famous
early Italian painters, which make up

}an unusual and rarely beautiful little

display. There is a bust portrait by
\ndrea del Sarto, in color quality, mod

a little bust portrait of Alde Manuzio
by G. Bellini, which might be called an
“Italian Holbein,” a superb bust por
trait of a daughter of Cosmo de Medi
cis by Bronzino, exquisite in quality
and detail, a quaint “Adoration of the
Magi” by Folchetto and a triptych, a
fine example bv Don Lorenzo.

One need not quarrel with the attri
butions of these early works. They

speak for themselves in quality and|

beauty.

Wiggins at Katz's.

\n exhibition of fifteen canvases by
Guy C. Wiggins opened at the Katz
(jalleries, 103 West 74 St. on Monday
to continue until Feb. 11.

The display, which includes shore pic
tures, landscapes and street scenes, is
uniform in quality and shows the artist
at his best. At the end of the gallery
an important canvas, “Lincoln Square
Winter,” is placed. It represents that
locality during a snowstorm, and is

realistic, while possessing charm of!

atmospheric effects. |
Noank, Conn.,” was
shown at the recent Corcoran Gallery |
display and has been noticed in the |
Art News for its charm of tone, out-door
“Church on

color and subtle
‘Potter’s Dock,

feeling and good light. The

in color values and with fine distance.
“Slaughter House Hill,” a
of hillside, is tender in tone ana well
vhile ‘Mornings Mystic”

landscape, good
broad sweep

has a good sky and is lovely in color.

y
_

“Noank Docks,” a boat scene, shows
vigor and is a truthful rendition,

\ll the canvases show a truth of pet
ception, keen observation and are «
idedly in advance of any work yet
shown by this artist.
Will J. Quinlan, whose
or work is familiar to all art lovers, 1s
wlding an exhibition of etchings also at

interesting

g
these galleries. These are original in
composition, with remarkable qualities of
light and shade. The display includes

typical American subjects such as New
York street scenes, beach scenes, marines,
and landscapes.

Union League Display.

The first exhibition under the auspices
of the new Art Committee of the Union
League Club will open Thursday next,
Keb. g. It will be made up of a group

of works by leading American marine |

and landscape painters. The exhibitors
will be Henry W. Ranger, Cullen Yates,
Louis Paul Dessar, Albert L. Groll, Paul
Dougherty, Frank DeHaven, Edward
Potthast, Gifford Beal, F. Ballard Wil-
liams, Gardner Symons, William Keith,
Kmile Carlsen, and George H. Bogert.
Two unusual examples of Blakelock will
also be shown. The purpose of the Art
Committee is to give five or six exhibi-
tions during the season. The next one
which will take place in March will
clude the works of American landscape
and figure painters.
