Lovers of Japanese prints are hav-
ing an unusual opportunity these days
for the study of some of the finest
collections in this country. The collec-
on the fourth floor of the Hamburger
building covers four centuries of
Japan's greatest art achievement and
is especially interesting to the student
of these things. The talk by Mrs. A.
S. Lobingier in connection with this
exhibition of color prints was arranged
for Saturday afternoon for the con-
venience of teachers and students.
The exhibition at the Blanchard gall
OF of hn To
anese prints from the collection of
Mary Eleanor Curran and one hundred
rarely beautiful prints destined for
the Boston public library. shown for
two weeks in Los Angeles through
the courtesy of Taisuke Uchida, who
has recently imported this excellent
collection.
Mrs. Lobingier will deliver her spe-
cially prepared lecture on 1.-The Color
Prints of Japan at the Blanchard gall
lery Friday afternoon. March is, at 8
o'clock. and the afternoon promises to
be most entertaining and instructive
one.
Tuesday afternoon, March 10, this
gallery will be devoted to a Japanese
tea and private views of the japanese
prints, for which a large number Of in
vitations have been issued. and one of
the rooms will be turned into a Verita-
BILE tea garden for the occasion. The
Japanese scheme of decoration has
been used throughout the galleries and
is a most effective one.
In one OF the smaller galleries there
are q number of tapestry paintings by
Bjorn, from Douthett, 273 Fifth ave-
nue., New York, and several paintings
of the Hudson River school dating from
1881 to 1895.
The announcement that Norman st.
Clair is to hold an exhibition of his
recent water colors Is a most welcome
one, as the work of this painter is so
we'll known and of such a high stan
dard as to assure the quality of the
exhibition. Los Angeles is fortunate
I'm numbering among its artists one
whose work when sent to eastern eX-
hibitions takes an unqusetioned place
in the highest rank of the painters of
this country or Europe. Two of Mr..
st. Glars canVases, awakening Hills
and advancing Morn" when exhibit
ed last year with the American Water
Color society and the New York Water
Color club, attracted wide attention
and most favorable comment. The lat
ter will be shown at the coming eX-
hibition, together with a number of
recent paintings, comprising some OF
the best things Mr.. st. Clair has done,
one of the most beautiful of these is
Leaves of Gold" painted looking into
the light, and equally beautiful in an
other mood is Beneath the Winter
Moon" a new version OF the arroyo
this artist depicts with such charm
The exhibition will be held at the
studio of William Swift Daniel at the
California Academy of Art, room 49,
Copp building, and will continue for
one week, beginning Monday March IA
f.
The joint exhibition of recent land
scapes by Elmer Wachtel and Marion
Kavanaugh Wachtel has attracted
many visitors during the past two
weeks, and the studio is still open to
the public today and will continue so
on Sunday afternoons until the first
of June, when these artists leave for
their summer in New Mexico. The
work of these painters is too widely
known in Los Angeles and throughout
the United States to require comment,
but the recent exhibition, with others
of the month, will be reviewed more at
length in the Easter number of The
Herald Sunday magazine.
