AVA recent paintings in his studio in
this city now. One is a sunset on the
Potomac marshes, which is particularly
alluring. In the foreground is a stretch
of quiet water, then comes the land and
then the sky. The sun has set behind
the clouds, and its glow illumines the
sky as though through veil Of mist. The
composition is very simple and the effect
is by no means spectacular. but the val
ues are nicely adjusted and admirable
feeling is displayed. This is the kind Of
picture that makes good companion

also at work upon two other canvases-
against the sky, and another of open
fields and autumn foliage.

The exhibition as whole is remarkably
good and interesting. the best perhaps in
several years. Three hundred and sixty
seven exhibits are set forth in two large
galleries. Very little work is shown in
the old method. which lays strongest en-
phasis on the prerogatives of the medium
In fact. the majority of the pictures in
this exhibition might almost as we'll been
rendered in oils or pastels as In water
color, but as the results attained are in
most instances genuinely satisfactory no
fault can be found. There is. indeed, Pc
culiar pliability to water colors-they lend
themselves eraciously to many modes of

of the talk was What is Art?
hut the effort of the lecturer was 10
awaken thought rather than to give dell-
nitions. All art, Mr.. Messer declared,
was in varying forms, reaching up on
the part of human beings. Pictures, ne
said were primarily painted to be seen.
Instructive in man IS the desire for SYM
nathy. for comradeship. and this leads
10 creative effort. A painter sees some
thing which gives him keen enjoyment
and his impulse ii to so interpret 1t That

MANY artists have. Sympathy and appro-
bation. to some degree, he held, were es-
sen.ial to the joy of production. but not
m production itself. For instance, some
painters have persisted in carrying out
their convictions regardless of or ticism
and even ridicule. And to show the
breadth of the boundaries of art. Mr..
Messer recalled the varied ways in which
II found expression: comparing the work
of MilIet with that of Froment and
others. Thus he proved. moreover, that
art was fundamental rather than super
ticial-that structure and strength signi-
fed more than technique subject.
Modern sculptors complain, he said. that
