One or two of Miss do Cordobas etch-
ings In color stood out prominently In the
recent exhibition Of the New York Etchers
in the gallery OF the Berlin Photographic
Company and the expectations aroused by
| them are more than fulfilled by hei pres

that the art OF It Is entirely concealed.

or Miss de M!lhau'ss landscapes not
so much IL to be said. In many of'the
plates she is nervousy feeling her way
like student. Etching Is II fascinating
but difficult medium. and even master
like Seymour Hadcn made many weak
plates at the beginning Of his career. The
dates are fortunately upon the plates OF
| Miss Milhaus work and that her newest
ttchings are her best ones Is the most
encouraging feature of her contribution.
Mr. Bugatti Is an exceedingly clever
| sculptor. one OF the few sculptors OF ami
| mails who have succeed ID In escaping from
the style of Barge. His c!everness Ia so
| great that II almost constitutes a danger
for him. HIS animals are sketched on
the run and there Is something disturbing
In the perpetuaton In bsonze OF such
| casual animal attitudes.
But Mr.. Bugltt looks deeply into ami
NAL character. His Panther will shock
an academician. but the small head. the
slender body and the l!ghtness with which
the animal touches the earth give the
sense Of freshly observed truths The
SNAKE" has skin OF a peculiar repulsivc-
i ness mysteriously obtained by the sculp-
tor. Indeed all the textures in these
pieces are clever.
Mr.. Lytton. whose pictures are now on
exhibition at Louis Ralston's gallery. was
educated in Paris mt the Ecole des Beaux
Arts. He is son OF owen Meredith
tirst Earl OF Lytton) and grandson Of
BulNer Lytton. the novelist This Is his
first visit to the United States. and there
fore he Is anxious to earn the good will
and favor OF the American public as his
father and grandfather did before him. In
hts art he is believer In the classic
| traditions. He considers that the nine
| teenth century was n period OF revolution
and that the twentieth century should tirn
aside from anarchy and chaos and should
become the century Of law and order and
common sense.
When Mr. Lytton left Paris he settled
down in England. In 1899 ne married Miss
Judith Blunt, a great-Era nddaughter or
. Lord Byron and daughter OF Wilfred
Blunt. the poet In the last few years he
has achieved great success at the inter-
national exhibitions Of Rome and Client
, Mr.. Lytton Is "A Arm believer In nationality
| In art Though educated In France there
Is no trace OF French influence In his
work. Like many other English artists he
considers his artistic ancestors to be the
Greeks and Nenet!ans.
