There have been two important
changes in the personnel OF the Cor
coran gallery's jury of selection anu
award since announcement was made d
month or more ago. Mr. Chase, VINO
was to have been the chairman OF inns
jury has passed aSaT. and IN ms place
has been appointed Childe Hassam. the
distinguished exponent OF linPression-
ism in this country. Richard Miller was
to have represented the american
artists residing abroad. but since con-
senting to serve he has been called 10
California. and has assumed the charge
of important classes in connection with
one of the largest of the Pacific coast
art schools. His engagements are such,
therefore. that ii would be Impossible
for him TO come east at this time. ara
in his place has been substituted Wal
ter Griffin who likewise fer mary years
prior to the CONNIE ncement of the pres
emit war had his studio in Paris.
Mr. Griffin was born in Portland. Me,
and is member of the National Acaa-
envy of Design and of the New YORK
Water Color Club. At the Panama
Pacific exposition ne was ava ded
medal of honor. His work is indi-
viduaI. coIorful and pleasing. and he
stands high i'll the esti'17 alton OF MEM
bers of his own profession.
Mr. Hassam is much less traditional
in his art than was Mr. chase. but
whatever his own individuality. mis-
conception OF art Is rroad. ana ne is
too big q man to have prejudicrs. There
was time when Mr.. Hassam's work
was regarded as most IRENE. but so
great are the CHANGES which have me
over modern painting that today the
pictures he produces with 50 much
skill and brilliancy appear quite con-
seryative in the average exhibition.
As the jury stands now. ii is still well
balanced and will in all probability en-
terrain Thoroughly catholic viewpoint
