The Swedish-American art exhibit
has been opened at the Swedish club
in Chicago The Chicago Record
Herald some time ago published long
review of the art exhibition and the
Herald's critic pronounced it to be

can easily be traced in nearly all OF
the productions, but other eminent
critics take a different view OF it, stat
ing that the Swedish-American paint
ers show a variety of independent ten
dency and originality, which is, If any
thing, purely Scandinavian.
