Pavilion Exhibits Are Now Ready for the
Public's Inspection

Indian papoose basket The translu
cent effect has been secured in this
piece in a remarkable manner. 1t is
also seen in a smaller canvas of
similar subject. There is also a study
/ in black Hamburg grapes by Miss
HinksOn that win take place along with
the two mentioned. among the very
best OF our American artists. Miss
HinksCn now an instructor in the
school, which is her Alma Mater, is
rapidly attaining a position in art cir
cles that is reached only by genuine
merit and native ability under correct
cultivation.
A study in still life in this collection
by Miss f. Greenlaw attracts atten-
ton. Homely objects are pots and
, Kettles, but the study is not the less
effective and creditable. There are two
flower pieces from the same brush that
repay for examination. Miss Louise
Hein&e has in the school group a stin
life study of strength, especially good
n drawing, in which a mandolin is a
| central object
A stll life by Miss Carrie york is
creation well executed handled with
skill ara both in drawing and color,
canvas of strong merit. 1t suggests to
! the spectator that bachelor who has
had night out at a fancy ball. re-
turning to his quarters. has cast his
hat, cane, gloves and half smoked cigar
upon the table, has tossed there also
| W0man's dancing shoe, a trophy of
| the masquerade. in which loss was not
followed by recovery on the part of the
owner of the satin foot wear.
Next to the School OF Design group is
! a large collection of unframed studies
III which are some charming pieces, to
be noticed when further examined. w

tons Of those high attitudes are pre-
served admirably. In the other canvas
the rock and foliage effects are artistic
in the fullest strength Breadth,
strength, finish and true art perception
are evidenced in both canvases.
Blue Monday" by Grace Hudson
is a striking picture and commands
attention. 1t has an odd vein of humor
in 1t. The study is evidently from life
both in figure and pOrtraiture. 1t pre-
sents an Indian woman at the wash
tub with squalling papoose strapped
to her back. The drawing is excel
lent, and the management of the fig
ures very striking, in the naturalness
of pose and expression.
Thomas Hill is this time represented
| by a bold work, large canvas of
geysers in full action. The humid con-
dition Of the atmosphere and the ap
parent movement of the masses of
steam are admirably given. Mr. Hill
is so familiar, through his works, to
the people Of California, that it is not
necessary TO more than invite atten-
ton TO anything he places on view.
Elizabeth Strong has a number of
canvases on the north wall, hunting
dogs being favorite studies with her
