lists. who have paintings in the exhibit

their work.
! Among these artists there is no one
more popular than William NJ. Chase.
who is generally recognized as one of
the greatest teachers of painting in
the world, as his classes in Europe
and among the hills at his home are
always large and select. Entrance to
these classes is eagerly sought. He
has mastery of the different kinds of
painting. the landscape. the figure and
the still life. He excels all other art
its in his still life work and his rep
resentation at the local art exhibit is a
typical example of Ills work. Fish
are his favorites and Richmond art
lovers nave mad the rare privilege of
inspecting one of his fish canvases.
those on which he is said to excel.
In his picture Mother and Daughter
which is now being shown here, he ex-
cells himself in picture figure paint
ing The form of the woman is made
from the folds in her gown. The gown
in fact is the medium through which
Chase has created his figure. The
lights and shades of this picture are
wonderful The red book in the wo-
mans hand and the red rose set off
the picture most beautifully. 1t is
probably more tender in sentiment and
feeling than most of his works. Chase
is man who delights in technical diff
ficulties.
His small landscape is remarkable
for it's space. 1t shows milder mood
than does his still life. which is done
with more vigor The three pictures
of Chase now on exhibit locally. passed
the juries in eastern exhibitions and
were awarded a prize at the Cleveland
Art association.
Another of the New York artists is
Miss Anna Freeman, pupil of Chase.
Her picture. "Neighbors," is painted
with vigor and shows the Chase in
fluence throughout Miss Clark now
has one of her best paintings on ex-
hibit in Pittsburg and it is being COM
mended by all for it's beauty.

have had rare privilege of seeing his
works at the art show this year He
has the happy faculty of seeing beau
tiful pictures in street scenes and sky
scraper buildings and these pictures he
has conveyed to Richmond people in
his pictures The Ferries" and THE
Flatiron.' In The Ferries" the EN-
pire building is shown. and in which
ID. G.. Reid's suite of offices is locat-
ed The old Trinity church also oc-
cupies conspicuous place in the set
ting. The arrangement of The Fer
ries" makes beautiful pattern on can
vas. 1t is picture full of mystery.
The smoky atmosphere and boats give
action to the picture. Colon Camp

the eyes of the New Workers to the
natural beauties of their city
Mrs Cooper is also represented 10
cally and her work follows along the
line of foreign landscapes Her rep
reservations are good, however
AT the Weir the picture of Frank
DuMond the one which is considered |
SO favorably by the local board of di |
