The paintings of Leonard NJ. Davis, the
Alaskan artist who never uses brush,
have been obtained by the National Geo
graphic Society for the first of a series
of art exhibitions to be given by it in
Hubbard Memorial Hall, Avenue Of the
Presidents and NJ street. from January
10 to 81, inclusive. Davis is said to stand
alone in the field of art as the one man
who uses the palette knife exclusively in
putting his colors on the canvas. The
paintings to be shown are all of scenes in
the frozen north. Some were done twenty
degrees below zero.
Mr.. Davis career has been exceptional
and romantic. In 1896 he returned to
New York from Paris, where he had
spent seven years studying under Benja-
min Constant, Laurens and Lafebvre, to
be confronted by the problem of self-sup-
port. He conceived daring and original
plan. He decided to go to Alaska and
try his luck as miner, hoping to win
the money that would give him financial
security. It took him three days to pack
his belongings and to start.
Dissolve Partnership.
Eight others went with him. They went
up the Yukon as far as Anvik, where
their partnership was dissolved. During
the winter of 1898 Davis walked 600 miles
into the interior to Rampant. By him
self he damned creek in such a man
ner as to render possible the first n.y.
draulic plant installed on the American
Yukon. built three bridges and set up
two cabins.
For six years he remained in ALASKA,
two years of the time being spent In alb
solute seclusion, not word from the
outside world reaching him. Gold came
to him in abundance. Artistic inspiration
came, too, and subjects all around him
