Some English Portrait Painters and
! Their influence was the subject OF Mrs.
/ Mitchells lecture before the members
OF The Woman's Club yesterday after
noon She made charming address
about the portrait painters of the time
OF the Sir Joshua Reynolds, Romney
and Gainesborough school and gave a
very entertaining description of the
work and effect upon the art of that
| day of each great painter.
| In discussing the aims of portrait
painters, Mrs Mitchell stated that it is
not simply the likeness OF feature, b.
the soul that has gone into the portrait.
| that had made living people of the ar
fists subjects. She dwelt especially on
| the portraits of Lady Hamilton and
| the Blue Boy, and quoted Sir Joshua
| Reynoldss criticism OF Gainesborough
\ that he painted in too cool blues and
| grays to make real works of art, but
| the Blue Boy has proved that they
| could live, in spite of their silvery
tones.
Mrs. Mitchell is president OF the
| Plastic Club in Philadelphia, club OF
more than 200 women artists, many OF
| whom are artists of note. and is also
second vice-president of the Fellow
ship of the Pennsylvania Academy of
| Fine Arts.
