GUILD TO SHOW
LATEST EXAMPLES
OF ADVANCED ART
Exhibit Will Embrace Orphism,
Synchronism, Cubism and
Other Isms

Through next month ard the remain
der of this one there will be an exhi-
bition OF modern ar. at the parish
house OF the Church of the Ascension,
IL West Eleventh Street. II is given
under the auspices of the Peoples Art
Guild, and in so far as IL is an expo
sition Of the radical modern trend OF
art it is comprehensive. There are
seventy-one works exhibited, and al
most that number Of artists represent
ed. We print an extract from the in
PRODUCTION 10 the catalogue which Will
help, as well as anything may, TO show
the character Of the collection:
zone may regard the exhibition as
symbolizing the remittance OF New
Art into millenary abodes. II is COM
ing at a time when the stigma attached
to New Art by orthodox estheticians is
rapidly wearing off. Having found
ample authoritative appreciation and
sdmittance into many private and pub
lie galleries, New Art is no longer
looked upon as a merely sensational
greeted as unostentatious, normal
events in art life. This exhibition in
cludes American and European ex-
amples of nearly every phase of the
evolution of Advanced Art. There are
works indicative IF the initial stages,
inspired by Reloir, Cezanne and
Mstisse. Besides there are more re-
cent variants of research in color and
form, embodied in orphism, Synchron-
/ ism, Cubism and Futurism. Finally,
there are specimens Of symbolic Ex-
pressionism, in distractions and or
CARNATIONS
We might quote lot more than is
quoted here and still get no nearer TO
the solutions of the problems which
the pictures present with rarely vary
ing consistency. Though we are told
portant part in the scheming Of these
works we shall do better that is, do
them greater justice-viewing them
through the blind eyes Of faith rather
than through the analytical eyes of in
tellect. When, however, we do not
agree with any of the isms cited in the
catalogue, we may be led to declare de-
plorable the lazy acceptance by the
youth of art of ready made dogma; q
coat that can scarcely fit an indepen-
dent and valiant individual. Among
those represented are Picabia, Frances
S. Stevens, Morgan Russell, Hartley
Stanton Mcdonald Wright, who boasts
brother; Maurer, Dove, the Zorachs,
Max Weber, Rivera, Derain, Metzinger
Gussow, Dickinson, Havilsnd, Cramer
Sheler, Msnolo, Stella. Picasso, Of
Benn, Pach, Ferat, Fisk, Benton and
Walkowitz, Halpert, Marin and Charlie:
De Muth.

[ TO the present exhibition of painting:
and sculpture at the Mcdowell Club
/ As contrast 10 its violently colorfu
/ predecessor this one appears quite
/ oolorless. Indeed. these two shows are
at opposite extremes of given point
of normslity. The other carried indie
/ pendence quite well over the border Of
anarchy and this one is almost afraiC
TO speak its own response to the con
ventions aloud. Mr.. Harry th-Ros;
may be an exception. His "Old Barn:
in Snow" which could be mistaken fol
a Lathrop, is painted with quiet assur'
ance. His Morning Sunlight" thrown
{ through a curtain of leaves, is gay
/ without being blatant. Delos Palmer
| ir, attacks his canvases with techni-
+ cal decisiveness before which the softer
and the more human qualities must
/ fall. Miss Julia NJ. Wickhsm, in can
vases like Meadows in Winter" snC
wheat Field" and early Autumn" in
which are TO be found some true
painter qualities, wants more freedom
in the rendering of color. Color may
not be so much matter Of copying
! The artist is probably the one who add;
something Of his own to the sum ht
horrows from nature
