East's Versatility.
With this painting OF London are shown
two OF Pittsburg, painted last spring
during Mr.. Easts sojourn I'm that city
while serving on the international jury OF
the Carnegie Institute These are in
quite a different vein and demonstrate
the painters versatility.
More pleasing and more imaginative are
THE Morning Song" The Mystic POOL
and An Idyl." in all of which landscape
has been employed with decorative in
tent as setting, as il were. for poetic
conception.
.'Tewkesbury Road" .warwickshire"
and Fishing for Minnows'' are again
little Portraits Of place." literal in in
tent. but for this reason none the less
engaging.
There are in all twenty eight exhibits
enough to make A dianified showing and
to permit fair comprehension Of the ar
lists capacity and style.
This collection was first shown in Pitts
burg, then in philadelphia and from
here will go to Chicago. II will be on
view at the Corcoran Gallery for four
weeks. LEILA MECHLIN.
