has stronger proof Of her ability in 63,
Simple Repast.'
c. Won Perbandt, in ~, marine,
and rs a landscape" gives us two of
the best examples of his most recent
work.
Nellie Burell's still life piece, 80, is
a canvas that is to her credit, though
she has given US better examples of
her art in previous exhibitions. Her
Grapes" 81, is a better canvas and
worthy especial examination.
Peixoto's In the Park" 103, is fine
example of the work of that accom-
plished artist.
Joulin's Roses" 104, is a beautiful
canvas, exceedingly fine. His Nude
Study" 1911 raises lively debates
among on-lookers. It is the sideview
figure of a man, a strong, sinewy but
rather spare man and by no means
model figure. This it is that excites
criticism. But the question should be
is it true" and we venture to say that
it is. Joullin may net have selected
figure of masculine grace. but we can
not see any evidence of untrueness. The
picture rather stands in our estimation
as one strong in its drawing, and as
{ it certainly is admirable in color and
expression of the pose.
Bertha Lees, 1876, Spring would
be a good picture save that it is too
light q green for a landscape of any
character. Her sand Dunes 197, is,
on the other hand, an admirable effect
in drawing color and handling. 1t is
what may be called a landscape ex-
preston.
Mr.. Stantons study of a head from
the rear point Of view, 1913, is a very
superior work, of marked originality,
one of life and strength in drawing and
light effects His Street Scene in
Monterey" 179, is a good picture, in
vested with motion, well drawn and
handled in a most artistic manner.
Frank Heaths Camping on the San
Lorenzo" 1S0 is in the best style of
that artists work, albeit we think it is
marked by evidences of something akin
to haste, compared with his more care
ful and deliberate works, to be seen
in the gallery.
Hubacek's POP, a landscape, is good
painting, fine indeed.
c. c. Judson's AN Interesting
N0lOi y l-Cs SlNCS Us ali IlltIlOI view
with a woman on the floor absorbed in
a romance. The detail in this fine
painting is especially worthy of exam
ination.
Henry Raschen has a good portrait
in 130 but a better one in 166, small
! though it is.
Emily Ryder's 169 Artists Models"
is a strange work, but we apprehend
that it is true to the scene where the
models Of Rome assemble and lounge.
The figure work is good and the draw
ing of the walls and ascending approach
is especially noteworthy.
In the entrance to the gallery are to
be seen five large cases filed with ex-
quisite examples in great variety of por-
celain and china painting, all the work
of Miss Edith Hughson of this city, an
artist widely known for her high skill
| in this branch of art Probab bly, no work
50 delicate. refined or artistic has ever
! been shown at these expositions in this
| lire as those now to be seen in Miss
| Houghson's cases The admiration they
| awaken are fully deserved.
The Committee on the Art Gallery
| Awards has been organized, composed
OF the same citizens who have served in

! is a difficult task and its assumption is
not one any person desires. One of the
! committee last evening preferred the
request to be relieved from the work of
making awards on the ground that he is
1 an officer of the Museum Association,
| which conducts the School of Design,
pupils Of which are competing for medal
/ awards This was conceded bv his col
! leagues and he will not sit with the
| board in such judgment, but will render
/ assistance in the usual adjustment Of
| compensation distribution if recalled to
! that task. Probably no more hard
working committee serves the Agricult-
ural Society than that called to the art
| gallery awards; certainly none in which
there is need for greater painstaking,
wise discrimination and the effort to do
exact justice.
