oils and water colors by Florine
Hyer are being shown this week
" at the Merrick- Reynolds gallery.
Miss Hyer is we'll known as a flower
painter and presents in this showing
some we'll executed and charming COM
positions of flowers, one of which,
group of roses, crisp and fresh in color,
loose in arrangement and handling,
was selected by Miss Withrow to be
exhibited at the Alaska ukon-Pacitic
exposition. There are several others
which have delightful tones of color,
an especially we'll rendered subject
being red geraniums with vase, full
of rich and glowing color. Miss Hyer
handles oils and water color with al
most equal facility, and is d prodigious
worker. 1t is regrettable that together
with creditable work this artist should
show creations that have no legitimate
place in art. Miss Hyer will leave Los
Angeles again shortly, going to Seattle
to remain indefinitely.

During the month of April a collec-
ton of water colors by George Albert
Burr will be on view at the Merrick-
Reynolds gallery. 1t will embrace Hol-
land, French, Spanish and Italian
sketches, made during recent travels
by the artist. His technique is excel
lent, and the detail eXquisitely ham
died without a sacrifice of the general
breadth of the whole. His feeling for
color is poetic, and his compositions
are good. English mezzotints will also
be shown next month at this gallery,
where now may be seen the Mausell
(Oxford street, London), prints, repro
auctions in color of masters old and
modern. They are most beautiful in
harmony and tone, and possess all
but the one charm of being the orig
inal They are superb as both prints
and pictures, and are far more deslr-
able than originals of doubted merit.
The favorites of all may be found
among these Mausells, among them
being the masterpieces of Reynolds,
| Romney, Rembrandt, Velasquez,
Watts, Turner, BONNER and others.
Appreciation and demand for prints
are constantly increasing.
The Fine Arts league announces its
first exhibition to open in the Steckel
showing of work by honorary exhibit
ors, there being no jury of selection,

manent exhibit will be installed later,
and will consist of carefully selected
works by American and foreign artists,
