in Art in America contains this appre-
citation of e. J. Berwind's specimen OF
the painters work:
I'VE find in America a magnificent
example Of the genius Of David in the
collection of E. j. Berwind. 1t is the
portrait OF Nine. de Richmond and
her son Eugene. This painting shows
tn quality of David at the apogee of
his career. The figure has a purity of
line which recalls Greek art, but Greek
art recreated in the flesh and spirit by
a lover of form. When you compare
this accomplished work with the form
less and manneristic English portraits
Of the same period you do not hesitate
to rank David as the greatest master
Of plastic beauty. Its altogether femi-
nine seduction, the silvery radiation
which issues from its exquisite flesh
tones, the suppleness and abandon OF
the pose, combine to make a really
picturesque masterpiece. stripped of all
pedantry. This portrait is among the
highest expressions OF French art
How many Of such examples OF disci-
pline and free .effusion are there to
recompense us In our own troubled
epoch?"
Elsewhere the critic writes:
David, in the evolution OF painting,
acted as a promoter of one of those
reactions inherent to the vitality of the
race. He was born August 80, 174o,
at time when art was sponsored by
the dissolute nobility and profigate
financiers. The taste was for charm
ing mythologies, for amorous pastorals
and airily draped assemblies. There
were great masters in this style, to be
sure, Boucher. Van Loo and Coypel.

TIME Mystic Art Association has
Just opened. its sixth annual
u exhibition Of oil paintings. A
group Of thirty-one canvases. includ-
ing works by some of the strongest
men in the country and a number Of
pictures from the Macbeth galleries,
New York city, forms the main body
OF the exhibition.
Upon entering the large room where
these are hung one is at once struck
with the delightful cheerfulness of the
pictures as a whole. Brilliant, lumi-
nous and colorful, they are very varied
in subject and treatment, but through
out runs this strong keynote. Those
who look for tonality may in a sense
be disappointed, but the man who en-
joys refreshing modern work of clean,
crisp color will be delighted. Whether
II is due to the fact that the great
war is over and that the painters
spirits have bounded upward with
those of the rest of the country we
certain: it is essentially a cheerful
exhibition.
When we say that the quality of
tonality is largely lacking we are right
In that It is not particularly marked

II may seem, 1t is.very present in the
group as a whole. This we believe to
be largely due to the hanging Gan art
IA itself, by the way), for just as the
conductor of great orchestra brings
the many pieces together into one
great hundred souled instrument so
has Charles H. Davis brought these
varied and various pieces together
into one harmonious whole.
This exhibition is distinctly not a
local affair, and obviously the Mystic
Art Association can and does present
a much stronger collection of pictures,
gathering its material from a wide
field, than would be possible by using
eA clusively the work of any one group
OF painters.
A particularly strong canvas by
Leon Knoll is his large West Shore
Terminal painted from the snow
covered Palisades, overlooking the
Hudson and lower New York. Below
the big rocks Of the cliff tracks. trains,
ferry houses and puffs of steam fill the
foreground with interest. Then comes
the river, while beyond in the luminous
distance the always wonderful skyline
of Manhattan. 1t is a picture tenn
ing with the energy and activity Of
New York in the heart of a busy
winter.
Mr.. Kroll's great versatility is
shown by his other two canvases,
1.-Two Bridges" and Girl and Book"
the former being large landscape of
the most modern kind of expression,
the latter a quiet, well studied por-
trait. These pictures are as different
from each other in treatment as they
are in subject, and are still entirely
unlike the West Shore Terminal"

in color, the other delicate and roman
tic, but no less colorful--they form
good notes in the exhibition.
There are also two good pictures by
Lester d. Boronda, very colorful ar.
rangement of trees and sky by Henry
Bill Selden and an extremely strong
marine by Parker s. Perkins.
THE Cedars," by Peter Marcus, is
a most vital picture OF a hilltop. Dark
cedar trees and rocks are brought into
sharp contrast against a brilliant and
windswept sky. His "Winter Haze"
is a rather subtle little canvas with a
nice sense Of light and engaging feel
ing of intimacy.
There are interesting canvases by
Robert II. Logan, @. Victor Grinnell
and b. X. Detwiller.
Another room devoted entirely to
small pictures and sketches is of great
interest to the visitor. Here ninety
four canvases-marines, landscapes
and figure pictures-are hung in most
colorful and refreshing contrast. Small
as they are, each tells It's complete
story.
Perhaps the most original are the
els Davis. Rich with romantic feeling
and color combination, they suggest
old enamels in their warmth and quail
ity of tone.
Also among the most interesting of
the sketches are found good examples
