Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-11-02

NI1E plCIuTe-IOElng pubic OF Homo
lulu has been particularly fortu-
nate this last year in that several
artists Of worldwide renown have
visited the islands and given exhibit
tons of their paintings. Some have
confined their work to the scenery
while one or two have shown can
vases depicting flowers.
Among those who have attracted
the attention of the islanders were
Lionel Walden, Knight of the Legion
Of Honor of France, known in Paris
as the King Of Bohemia; Miss Ana
Klumpke, famous on 10th continents
as great painter, and the lifelong
friend and blographer Of Rosa Bon
huer; Mr.. Theodore Worries, whose
work became popular here as well as
on the mainland; Miss Withrow, Mr..
William Adam and Mrs. Pogson. Mrs.
Pogson was a former resident of the
island and her work did not make its
Initial bow here during her visit few
months ago. Her work was confined
to flowers. Two of the artists who
have left recently were Mr.. George
b Torrey, the portrait painter, and
Mr. Duncan Smith the mural artist.
Nothing need be said here concerning
these artists for their work 10 by this
time well known In Honolulu. Mr.
Torrey occupied the greater share of
his time painting portraits Of people
prominent I'm Honolulu, while Mr..
smith depicted many beautiful Hawai-
Ian scenes from a new viewpoint.
All OF the painters who have visited
Honolulu SO far have been lionized by
the society folk of the city; 1t Is prob
able then that Bror Kronstrand, the
Swedish portrait painter, will be feted
~ the same way provided he finds the
time for such frivolities. Upon his ar
rival In the city he confessed liking
Tor the salt water and stated that he
Intended to spend share of his time
az Waikiki. Perhaps he Will be on the
look out for HonOlulu's most beautiful
woman. II was at the beach tina. Mr..
Torrey found the young woman whom
be considered the most beautiful type
Of Hawaiian.
When Bror Kronstrand arrived In |
San Francisco some time ago he was
deIuged BY letters from women who
considered themselves beautiful but SO |
Tar 20 one here has yentured to sug-l
tost 10 the great artist that he paint |
her No doubt this artist like all 9TH
trs who have been here will find our
wave washed shores very diffeFent |
rom any other place IN the west
One Of the recent portraits painted |
oV the artist was that of Miss Lurline |
Iess.
Mrs. William Masson. Miss Matson is
we'll known In Honolulu, having visit
"a here number OF times This por-
|rait is said to be very fine. Mr.. /
Kronstrand considered Miss Matson
NJ clear expression of the strong,
lean efficiency, poise and health Of
he typical American woman" A San i
7Iancisco paper says that he is popu-
1r as q painter of women for he
Gems to be able to portray the real
character.
KrOnstrand Is known to be diplomat
K. for when asked by San Francis
an II he considered Swedish wom-
- the most beautiful in the world he
aid; "Now maybe i know where the
moss beautiful women are to be found
md maybe don't. But il do have
bot told anybody and am not going
10 tell ANYBODY" For the women of
.ach city he visits he has new com.
