An American Artist.
rom Golfers Weekly

From Golfers Weekly.
Three men were asked what artist they
considered most 'typically American.
The first replied: Frederic Remington.
The second chose a. B. Frost. But the
third shook his head. 1t may have been
because battlesfips have been a favorite
subject of conversation this last fort
night: anyway. Henry Reuterdahl," said
he. We feel a glow of pride in the realiza-
ton that the best work of this trio has
appeared in Golfers. Remington is dead.
Frost paints the hills and rivers of Nor
mandy-but Reuterdahl Is left and at the
crest Of the wave. Reuterdahl loves the
navy as the jockey does his mount. His
seamen. on duty and OF. are irrepressble
cowboys of the brine When the fleet
made its short-notice start southwark.
Reuterdahl was ION deck"-on the deck
Of the North Dakota, If you want details.
In the paintings and drawings he has
made and is making for Golfers his
battleships are unstaggered by the storm:
his cruisers knife their way through
heavy seas; his tropedo boats siue re-
lentlessly through the chop: his lean de-
stroyers careen onward in the smother.
He pictures the sea. not as one OF ma
lures miracles. but as inspiration Of one
Of mans most sacred passions-patriot-
ism. Who shall say that Henry Reu-
terdahi is a shade less the American
for having been born at Malmo. Sweden,
instead Of in Boston or Los Angeles?
