(From the Sculpture by Degas)

O'Malley's work is inherently Celtic.
his characterization Of Irish people
like his vision of Irish scenery, is sim
pie and truthful. His work is done
with broad. free sweep, yet it does
not lack finish Perhaps his most
striking realization of type is the old
woman in "The Last Word" yet it is
hard to choose between this and Ger
ence," Irish Homespun" and Han
rahan's Sheila." His gift for sky
painting is another phase of his
ability Among the thirty-four paint
'ngs. "The Haunted Kitchen" "The
Scagreen Water" "An Achill Evening"
"The Banshee's Cry" "A Wild Day"
and "Dungarvan Harbor" are conspicu-
Ousl~ admirable.
Downstairs Messrs. Knoedler e. Co.
are also showin@ the first official por-
traits of the Allied commanders, exc
cuted from life for the War Depart
ment in the Chateau Versailles by
Dana Pond, and are the joint gift Of
the American Red Cross and Mr.. Pond
to the nation. The portraits, which are
life size, include a group of military
representatives of the Supreme War
Council at Versailles General di Robil-
liant, Italy; General Bliss, United
States of America; General Beln.
France, and General Sackville- West,
British Empire. and the individual
portraits of Marshal Petain. General
Pershing. General Bliss, Admiral Ben
son and Colonel House.
Miniatures by Baroness Hermelin. a
young Swedish painter, are on exhibit
ton at Cluny's. The miniatures. which
include prominent persons in America
and France, are deftly done. Quite a
few have more character and strength
than the average achievements in this
branch of art
The exhibition at the Paint Box Gal
Iery this month consists of thirty wa
ter colors by Sander Bernath. Mr. Ber-
mathis mastery of this most difficult
medium has gained recognition in the
exhibitions of the American Water
Color Society and the New York Water
Color Club. His water colors are pure
wa h, used without white, therefore re-
tanning all that brilliancy and transpar-
ency that give this delicate medium It's
peculiar eclat. In this day of much
tempera painting the glow and clarity
OF the clear washes in this exhibition
are refreshing and stimulating. San
dor Bernath was born in the quaint
where he received his first lessons in
drawing H came to America in 1911
and attended Cooper Union and the
Academy, besides making many
sketches around the city. Coming from
the silent mountains of his native land.
the great city amazed him. and he has
woven into his pictures the patterns of
what are to us everyday surroundings:
freight yards, docks with the boys
swimming, side shows, the elevated !"
roof tops and the studios of Greenwich
Village.
