Two Good Pictures.
H. o. Tanner, the painter OF relig-
ious subjects, has two fine Vancassess
one represents Christ at the home of
lazarus; the other shows Mary seated
with a lighted taper in her hand, the
light catching here and there on the.
figure and face and casting shadows
on the wall. They are considered two
OF the best pictures that Tanner has
done for many years, full OF genuine
religious feeling.
Max Bohm has a remarkable group
OF nude figures entitled "Springtime. .
The color scheme is green and golden
flesh color. Sunshine and reflections
of sunshine play over the figures in a
gay manner. In the foreground Is al
happy mother seated by stream with
her child on her knee. Her golden
hair falls around the child which is
watching fish in the water On one
side a fawn is drinking. The woman
and child are in brilliant sunshine,
while ten nude figures stand in the
thick green foliage not far behind IN
a golden shadow. A man is picking
fruit. Children watch him and close

continuous band across the canvas.

Tnittee is sensible to this reproach,
