Taos Artists New Work
AT Exhibition Pleasing
Aspen Grove" and Other Land
scapes Reveal Deviation
From Old Moods
By Roval Cortissoz

There is an agreeable disappoint-
ment awaiting visitors to the exhibi-
ton now open at the Milch gallery.
Three members Of the Taos group arc
represented, the group with which we
associate ideas Of blazing contrasts In
local color and hard, dry outlines. The
three give us the old familiar effects.
hut to our great delight Mr.. Victor
Higgins also unexpectedly deviates
into another mood, the mood of his
aspen Grove" and four or five other
little landscapes. He proves what we
have always maintained, that the Taos
artists could do something besides the.
atrical silhouettes if they chose. Mr..
Walter Ufer is similarly venturesome,
and in such sparkling pictures as "a
Morning Ride" and "Taos in Snow"
profitably escapes from his customary
convention. Mr.. Ernest l.. Blumen-
schein has had impulses in the same
direction, but Is on the whole faithful
to the old mode Of delineating Taos
types. That old mode is undeniably
bold and wildly realistic. All three
use it with skill. But we hope the
hints Of change in the Taos hypothesis
will be followed up.
At the Durand-Ruel gallery there is
a collection Of twenty-four paintings by
modern Frenchmen, all old friends, who
are represented in some instances by
familiar pictures. Manst's "Devant la
Psyche" comes back, a glorious bit of
technique, and with 1t there returns
his brilliant sketch, the "Marie Colom-
bier" There are four works by Degas,
among them mastery little drawing,
the full-length Of woman, and a new
thing, the Portrait of Nine. de Nittis,"
which is one Of the finest examples of
his looser manner. There is number
OF beautiful paintings by Monet, in
eluding one Of the light blond cam
vases from his Rouen series, and room
is made, of course, for Sisley, Renoir
and Pissarro. Two examples of Andre
hold their own in the company surpris-
tngly we'll. The gallery is full, natu-
rally, Of light. But it is amusing to
observe the mellow patina which the
Impressionists have taken on with the
passage Of time.
Tho Museum Of French Art is hold
Ing an exhibition Of French portrait
engravings. The collection of more
than hundred prints covers the sub
ject from the sixteenth century to the
present day.
Three largo exhibitions were opened
yesterday. At the American Art Gal
leries tho r. Hall Mccormick collec-
tion Of eighteenth century British por-
traits and landscapes was brought for
ward. The Anderson Galleries pre-
sented Mr.. Charles Huard's old and
modern drawings, number Of What
ler Autographs lately received from
London and group Of ninety.six
drawings by Renoir. At tho Fine Arts
Building was opened tho annual show
Of the National Association of Women
Painters and Sculptors.

CHINESE WANT MACHINERY

Greenville. s. C.-China is familiar
with American textile machinery and
will 20 to no other nation to make Its
purchases, declared President Mich Of
the Chinese indust :al chamber of
commerce, prominent manufacturer
and financier of the Oriental repub-
lie, in an adress here at luncheon
given the southern textile exposition
exhibitors and visitors by Greenville
business men.
Mr.. Mich told Of the industrial de-
velopment of China, saying that with
in the last year the Chinese have pur-
chased equipment for 40 cotton mills
from the United States and plan fur
ther extensive purchases. Chinese
cotton mill owners, he said, are per
fecting an organization to promote
and protect cotton growing. He de-
clared, however. that this seeming
competition with America and the
south would in no way injure Anieri-
cas- business. but on the other hand
would increase the prosperity OF
America.
