and Child by Murillo, Director Laur-
vik has most effectively brought out
the contrast of matter and manner
between the old and modern art, thus
emphasizing the comparative idea OF
the collection.
This idea is further excmplified In
very interesting manner in the col
lection Of landscapes, where we see
the romantlcism of Daubigny and
Troyon contrasted with the fortnight
realism OF Constable; while the latter
serves to make clear the impression
ism of Hassam and the structure!
qualities OF line and color of Cezanne
who is here represented by very fine
copy Of one of his most characteristic
landscapes.
The Duxbury Art Association has
Just enjoyed its second summer art
show of which the Boston Transcript
wrote in these encouraging terms:
The Partridge Academy is fins old
Colonial Building, surrounded by elms,
and the hall is large. with overhead
lighting. The sketches, with few
of the larger canvases, are hung DOWN
stairs, so practically the whole build
ing is given over to the exhibition.
and though there is good deal of
wall space available, many more paint
ings we're sent in than could be hung.
The jury OF award composed of
Messrs. Philip l.. Hale, Leslie p,
Thompson and Harry L. Hoffman,
awarded the first prize to Charles
Bittinger, for his picture entitled La
Bibllotheque du Regent, Versailles, :"
one of a series of Versailles interiors
which he painted a number of years
ago. Others of this series are now
owned by various museums and pri-
vate collectors. This one was awarded
a silver medal at the Panama Pacific
International Exposition. 1t is a
beautifully painted canvas in a har-
monious scheme of blues, the walls
being pannelled in blue satin; and a
large crystal chandelier and big mir
rors reflect prismatic lights through
the room. A portrait of Nine. Ade-
laide is on one of the walls and a
bust OF Louis XVI. stands on a marble
topped console. This interior is of
the sort painted by Maurice Lobre and
Walter Gay. and 1t is a faithful and
sympathetic portrait of a place espe-
cially interesting at this time.
Arthur p. Spears Girl in a Dory,"
the second prize picture, is a very
charming, spontaneous canvas, a
quick but complete impression of a
girl with a white parasol leaning over
the side of green dory. This work
was seen last season at the gallery of
the Guild of Boston Artists. Harry l..
Hoffman's large composition, THE
Market, Nassau" is glowing and bril-
liant in color, with heaps of tropical
fruit, and negroes with bright colored
bandannas in the foreground, partly In
shadow, and a sunlit harbor beyond.
John Sherman's From the Pergola" is
a winter scene where Chocorua is seen
through the pergola, the columns of
which are draped with leafess vines.

British artists are still uninsured
by the war if Frank Rutter's esti
mate OF their works is unprecedented.
He found little TO praise In the ex-
hlbition of war memorials at the South
hensington Galleries and complained
that with the best Will in the world
Il Is difficult TO be enthusiastic abou;
the exhibition of war memorials at
The Victoria and Albert Museum. The |
display at this years Royal Academy
was so disappointing that we all hoped |
FOR something better at South Ken |
Sington. but the general style-or lack
OF style-of the exhibits at the mu-
scum is really no better than what we
see In Burlington House or i'm the
effigies which petrify the streets of I
our capital and great provincial cities. |
