Delight Art Lovers Eyes

Which Splendid Collections Will Be Shown
By MARGARET MARSHALL DOYLE

From present indications it would
seem that April is to be the month for
exhibitions, for not only In the picture
galleries of this city will the works OF
some OF the most prominent artists
from northern and southern California
be shown, but also there will be g
number OF private views in the various
studios, one or two of the clubs will
have striking displays, the San Fran
cisco Institute of Art will hold Its an
nual exhibition and there will be one
or two good spring shows across the
bay.
At the Vickery, Atkins G. Torrey gal
leries in Suffer street the 80 canvases
put on view last week by Eugene Neu-
haus will remain on display until next
Saturday. In addition to these about
two dozen of the famous Turner'S en-
cravings are still exhibited, and a num-
Der of other quaint old engravings,
copies of famous old originals possessed
by owners of many of the large private
English art collections.
A few of the late paintings of Ben
jamin c. Brown of Pasadena are shown
in the Rabjohn & Morcom galleries in
Suffer street, and the Century club is
holding a splendid view, which includes
some good Ministers and Sargents, but
this. unfortunately, is not open to the
public, being intended for club mem
bers and their friends.
From Friday, April s, to May have
been the dates announced for the an
nual spring exhibition at the San Fran
cisco Institute of Art, which will open
on the evening of the 18th with a large
reception and private view to members
of the association and the contributing
artists.
This will undoubtedly be the best ex-
hibition held at the institute since the
fire, the strongest work of the pupils
to be hung with that of many of the
most prominent artists of northern
California. Many of the paintings to
be shown have already arrived, and for
variety of style, subject and treatment
it promises to be one of the most i'm
portant exhibits of the year.
Oils, water colors, crayonS, charcoals
and pastels will be on view, with a few
miniatures, representative work of the
local art colony.

latest plans. IS to have a room devoted
exclusively to talent of northern and
southern California artists. Heretofore
the works of the local artists have
been hung with the rest of the paint
ings in the art gallery.
The change has just gone into effect
and George Barron, curator of the gal
lery has personally gone to many of
the artists of this city and asked the
loan of one or two of their best works
to show to eastern tourists in a public
place visited by all, the good work be-
ing produced in the western field
Already a number of the canvases
of the local artists have been hung in
the new gallery Among these are
