$4,000 SETTING FOR
PEDERSEN'S CANVASES
Artists Exhibition Will Be Held
Tomorrow

For the purpose of giving an oriental
setting to the canvases of Hugo "
Petersen, which will be exhibited next
Tuesday, the tapestry room of the st.
Francis will be covered with cloth OF
gold, and an avenue of yeW trees VIII
lead from the entrance to the north
wall. on which will be hung the great
canvas of the Tai Mahal by moonlight
The lighting effects will contribute to
the illusion of the actual palace seen
through it's famous approach, and the
visitors will be carried into a glorious
moonlit scene under the luminous In
dian skies. The expense of preparation
for this setting will cost almost $4,000
Petersen has selected his most famous
scenes, the traditional moonlight festi-
walls, the golden pagoda and the gorge
Gus professions of the Durbar. as well
as his finest and most unusual portraits
of the Indian princes and the various
types in Java, Sumatra and the high
ways and byways of the lands OF the
far east. There will be more than $50
of these on the walls of the tapestry
room of the St. Francis on Tuesday,
canvases remarkable for their color and
the shimmering atmosphere of the
orient.
Petersen, who has spent a generation
in the orient. was the first man to paint
the women of East Indian royalty He
has made a fortune of approximately
$1,000, 900 through his commissions from
the British and native nobility in In
dia. and is the possessor of numerous
decorations.
He asserts, however, that he does not
value these evidences of royal favor,
and is taking his collection before the
critical Judgment of the occident.
Savants who have had a preliminary
view of the canvases assert that the ex-
hibition will comprise some of the most
interesting paintings ever shown in
America, and that Pedersen's technique
is a revelation of extraordinary power
and individuality.
