She considered the recent water color
exhibition at the Academy Of the Fine
Arts unusual In that respect. that every
artist there had tried Tn express beauty
as he saw it, and not according to ira :.

effect of this new school.
While Mrs. Boyer does not think
the cubistic art will last she believes
It will make a contribution to sincere
art. The fact that America critici,cs
her artists and does not buy their pic.
