The San Francisco call., 1910-09-25

with one of the largest and best dis
plays of oils, water colors and pastels
ever shown under it's auspices. The
affair will be held in the rooms of the
club in Post street and members of the
club and a number of the prominent
artists of the city will contribute,
among these being Miss Bertha Boye,
Miss Haidee Tobriner. Francis McCo-
mas, Arthur Matthews. X. Martinez,
Eugen Neuhaus, G. Piazzoni, Miss Else
HIM and 20 or 80 others.
The first meeting of the club mem
bers since their fail reopening was
held last Thursday evening and ar
rangements were completed for the
winters program. 1t has been decided
that a series of talks will be held
throughoutssthe year on topics of In
terest to the art world at the club
rooms. with Oscar WE'LL as speaker
at the first OF these meetings The
club may shortly decide to find new
and larger quarters and there is also
some talk of its eventually aflliating
with the Arts and Craft guild Of Cali
fornia.
A coming exhibition that will doubt
less arouse much interest is that Of
Granville Redmond's works, mostly
shown at the Rabjohns & Morcom
galleries. Redmond is the deaf and
dumb artist, whose work has been at
tracing so much attention of late.
Only one oS his sketches has so far
arrived. but as sample of his art it
is very exquisite one. IT is called
Evening" and shows in deepening
green gray tones the impress of on
coming night. The scene itself is an
appealing one and the handling is done
feelingly and truthfully and promises
well for the Is or 16 other capvases to
be included in the view.
In the same artrooms are shown
some late scenes by W. Y. Jackson of
Sacramento, one a field of wild flowers
in the spring season, lupins and Cali
fornia poppies lavishly scattered over
the spring meadows; the other a scene
different to anything we have before
seen from his brush in this city. 1t
is landscape of the high Sierras and
shows power, strength and no little
depth of handling.
Several new water colors from the
brush OF the late Sydney Yard are
also on display, ones that have been
CLEANED from near and far. One of
these, a stretch of sand dunes gleam-
ing almost yellow gold beneath the
summer sunlight, with a. distant
glimpse of dark blue hills, is one of the
simplest in scene and the strongest in
depletion shown. The Solitude" is a
creek scene in autumn, showing a
small stream in its vine grown setting,
beneath hills new robed in green.
The bushes and trees are stripped Of
their foliage and give to the scene,
beautiful in its setting, a peculiarly
empty, forlorn. desolate look that
makes up the charm of the picture.
The most beautiful of these paint
ings is a hay field scene warmed with
the rosy afterglow of the setting har-
vest sun and lighted anew by a wan
silver paleness from the crescent moon
rising over the old oaks to the side.
Eucalyptus trees, powerfully handled,
and sturdy oaks, with masses of green
shrubbery at their base, form the
background for the haycocks, golden
brown in the evening light. All of
Yards paintings are delicate and Won
derfully done and these as whole
| prove no exception to the usual rule.
| The only regret attached to seeing
them is that so few pictures from his
brush are left after all for the public
to admire.
Among the late canvases of Carl Os-
car Borg shown in this city are three or
four new ones that have just been
framed at the Rabjohn & Morcom gal
leries in Post street. One of these, BE
tween Showers" is a landscape done
near Santa Barbara toward the close of
a wet spring day. The countryside
shows fresh and green from the food
of recent rains. with verdant clad hills
