81 - ART EXHIBIT
The Art Association has opened another
| exhibit, for a fortnight, in the Denison.
| There are about sixty pictures in the col
lection. All of them are in oils and the
majority of them are by l.. II. Mealfin,
of Cincinnati, and Mr.. J. O.. Adams, of
Muncie Home artists but sparsely
represented. The pictures which the latter
had in Chicago, and which 1t was hoped
would be here, have not arrived. They be-
long to the best ones of those artists, and
| criticism of what is shown by then,
would not be fair in view of the fact that
| they are not just what the artists them
selves would wish. Mr.. Steele has three
| two scenes of summer, for which his brush
| has been deftly used, and the third is a
scene of two houses on North Pennsyl-
| vania street after heavy snow. The sub
| ject is very familiar 70 residents near Mr..
Steeles home. MIR. Gruelle and Mr. For
| syth are not represented. Pictures by the
| former artist are scattered. Some are
| East, some are in Kansas City. and others
| are in Chicago, where they will be shown
| in an exhibit to open Monday in the Art
| Institute. Mr. Forsyth's are also away from
/ home. Mr. Otto Stark has a few charac-
| teristic canvases.
| The chief interest of the exhibit centers
| in the pictures by. L. H. Meakin. Mr.
| Meakin has not only studied but Travelled
| in Europe. This as seen in the genera
| style of painting, also in his subjects
| There are a few American scenes, but
most Of them give gl.mpses of Normandy
