SARGENT Of WEST"
VISITING IN SALT LAKE
Will CIawsOn Is Again Greeting
Relatives and Friends
i'm Zion.

John W. Clawson, portrait painter,
who is known to the general public
as the Sargent Of the West" )" arrived
III Salt Lake City Thursday from Los
Angeles, and is a guest of Charles S.
Burton, at 33 First avenue.
Mr. Clawson, who is a native of Utah
and widely known in the city, Will
open Il studio in either the Ncwhouse
or the Dooly building. and will remain
here for the next four months, when lie
will leave for New York City. This ar.
tist S success in the United States was
the painting entitled HSanta Maria
Del Salutc.' which held the place of
honor in the first room during the
worlds fair at Chicago in 1893 and
which was III competition for first
honors.
Since that time he has studied in
Paris with such notable artists as Lu-
elan Boucet. Jean Paul Lawrence, Ben
iamin Constant and Mons. De Lance.
Under these masters he acquired the
technique necessary for the accomplish
ment of the truly wonderful results he
has produced in portrait painting.
His first visit to Salt Lake after re-
turning from abroad was when he was
coinmlSSlOneu 10 palnU inc pOTlralJ OF
former Governor Wells, This success
was followed by commissions to paint
Mayors Baskin, Scott. Jennings. Sharp,
Armstrong and number Of other nota
bles of the city,
Mr.. Clawson S greatest success has
been since that time and, to Il great
measure, confined to the cities Of the
western coast, where he has at present
a notable collection of portraits on ex-
bibition.
The exhibition of the Fine Arts
league. which was held on April 10 at
Los Angeles in the Steckel gallery, was
attended by the elite Of the city. and
it was here that the portrait of the
well-known Mrs. Haskins was given the
position Of honor, being hung as it were
on the lineD and creating the greatest
amount of favorable criticism that has
been INDUCED in by the critics for
years.
1t is sincerely hoped by the lovers of
art in Salt Lake that Mr.. Clawson Will
return here to reside permanently, but
this is hardly possible. i'll view of the
fact that New York City, with its larger
field, holds greater inducements to an
artist of his exceptional ability.
