Strong Lonesome Notable
Things-CataIogue


Der of about 100 gathered last evening
At the kilohana saloon for the open
ing of the present exhibit There are
more large canyassers than ever before
and it is declared that the display is OF
higher order than the former eXhi-
bits. There are many new and many
good things. Hitchcock's Hawaii cloud
rift piece was very attractive. The
work of Mott-Smith held the attention
of many. / is of the marked French
school. with an extreme individual,
finish.
To the most casual observer the ad-
vance in the present exhibit over form
er exhibitions of the League is very
noticeable. Not only does one feel the
fresh note struck by several new work
ers, but a very marked widening IN
the work of some of the we'll known
local artists
Prominent among the pictures by
this new talent are the canvases by II.
Mott-Smith. Painted in a high key,
they show strong, vigorous handling,
of sunlight effects, with hard realism
and frank truth to nature.
Somewhat in contrast to this is the
work of D. Howard Hitchcock, who is
the largest single exhibitor. Some of
Mr.. HitchcCCk's work is in his smaller
canvasses. although the striking skies
and strong haudling of light and shade
in his larger pictures show a virility
and power not shown before. and
which are a pleasant surprise To those
who have been watching the progress
of this young artist.
Mr.. Philip II. Dodge shows consid =
able advance in the strength of his
color work, and pleaseS his friends
with number of water colors in vary
ing keys.
Among other exhibitors in water
color are Mrs. II. Kelley, Mrs. f. A.
Jones, Mrs. A. Willis, Mrs. S. S. Kin
ney, Miss Laughlin, Mr.. Walter Z.
Pinkham. Mr.. +. Davey, Y. Young and
others.
An interesting feature Of the present
exhibition is the work shown by art
lists who have sent their contributions
from a distance. From Japan, Fred
Yates sends four small canvasseS. land
scapes, full of interest and strong
color. Young McComas, from Austria
liza, exhibits a couple of sky-rockety
explosions of paint pots.
There are several exhibitors in black
and white. while the china painting
