The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-12-01


League were well filed last night a.
the opening of their thirty first semi
annual exhibition under the auspices
of the Pictorial Circle, at which nearly
a hundred and fifty pictures and other
art studies were shown. The exhibit
ton is better than usual, both in the
number of pictures on the line and the
general excellence of the work.
1t is refreshing to find some new
names among those exhibiting, for
there has been such sameness from
year to year that the exhibitions have
not been what they should. There is
plenty of artistic talent in Honolulu,
and little encouragement will bring
the artists to the door of the League
with their work.
Among the canvases are a dozen by
L. Marsh Hale, San Francisco artist
soiourning here for short time. These
are more of the impressionist school.
and are fairly good as a whole Miss
Chapman has some water colors which
show merit, and there are some indif-
ferent sketches. Her china is among
the best ever shown here and would at
tract attention anywhere. Mrs. Tucker
and Mrs. Kelley are represented by
some clever work in the water-eolor
section.
D. Howard Hitchcock has the most
wall space and he uses it to excellent
advantage. A canvas of Waimea can
yon attracted a great deal of atten-
ton, for the detail work is excellent
and he has secured light and shade eff
feets in a way that brings to one
vistas of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. Another canvas by Mr.
Hitchcock is that of sunrise on Mauna-
kea, fine subject handled. with fideI-
ity. In one corner of the hall are six
Of his Kauai pictures, small but excel
lent They are of the hillside scenery
for which that island is famous, or,
rather. IS being made famous by the
work of local and visiting artists, Otto
Wix being among those who have pro-
dueed some excellent paintings of the
scenery there.
There are pictures in the photo
graphic section attracting a great deal
of comment from persons who know
what photography should produce,
while Roscoe Perkins has a number of
fine examples of his professional work
The character subjects are exception
ally good, both in pose and lighting.
Mr.. Rosenstein is to be compliment
ed on the excellence of the modelling
and plastic work he shows.
At the first view last night, the
guests were received by Mrs. w. NJ
Graham, assisted by others of the
League members. The exhibition last
ed for some hours, during which time
more than a hundred interested pic
ture-lovers visited the gallery. The
general comments were encouraging to
the League members, the exhibition be-
ing praised and the good work of the
League in promoting such exhibitions !
