New-York tribune., 1920-03-28


exhibition Of paintings by Ernest AL
bert Eliot Clark, John Folinsbee, Leon
Kroll, Louis Kronberg and Robert von-
noh. These are accompanied by sculp-
lures by james E. Fraser.
At the Keppel gallery may be seen
the etched work, plain and colored, of
Miss Mary Cassatt. The familiar plates
are to be seen in good impressions, and
there are some which are not familiar,
Miss Cassatt was the friend of Degas
and Manet. Her Indebtedness to them
has been overdone by some commenta-
tors, but it would be equally injudi-
cious to underestimate the influence
exerted upon her by the Impressionist
group. She could afford to receive that
influence, for she has always had plenty
of talent, of her own. 1t comes out
charmingly in her etchings, studies Of
women and children, which are as per-
suasive in spirit whether thev reflect
the atmosphere of the nursery or that
of the fashionable world Miss Cas-
satt is one of those women artists of
genuine distinction who cause the be-
holder to think Of them not as women,
but only as artists.
The list of one-man exhibitions
swells portentously as the season ap-
proaches it's close. At the Howard
Young gallery there are paintings by
Edouard Cucuel, a San Franciscan, who
went to Paris in 1893 and after some
years of work in black and white has
been painting in the open air. The
Levy gallery shows paintings by Garlic
ton Virgins, the Ralston gallery paint.
ings by Carton C. Fowler and the
Lantern gallery paintings, water col
ors and other works by M. Vukovcl,
At the Hotel Majestic there are paint
ings by Henning Ryden.
The early American and British por-
traits collected by the late Frank B.
Smith, with the English landscapes
which he also assembled, will be placed
on view at the American Art Galleries
on April II, to be sold at the Plaza on
the evenings of April % and %. At
the same time the American Art Gal
leries will present the collection of
NJ. Raoul Tolentino. In the present
week at this place may be seen the
Eymonaud collection, from Paris, of
textiles, embroideries, old jewelry and
tapestries, and fifty remarkable rugs
belonging to Mr.. Vital Benguiat.
At the Touchstone gallery there are
some paintings and studies by Mr..
Charles Logasa, who is introduced to us
as having spent years of study in
France, Spain and Italy. The collection
is presented as "the result Of twelve
years of steady development" This
information, which reaches US in a let
ter, causes The exhibition to be exces-
sively bewidering; for it reveals only
crude and houndering work.
Miss Mamma Mathews Bryant, at the
Sculptors Gallery, displays group
of about dozen marbles. She is a
smooth and facile modeler Of the nude,
and some of her figures are designed
with an engaging grace. In her treat
ment of the structure of form, how
ever, she does not get far below the
surface. Her unquestionable talent
needs to be invigorated by further
study. The best thing in the show is
the small "Aphrodite Bowl" charm
ing piece. Miss Bryant's sculptures
have received an unusually lovely
floral setting.
At 1886 Madison Avenue there is an
exhibition of oils and pastels by Glenn
Cooper Henshaw. Inis artist employs
pastel with remarkable fuency and
force. He has a picturesque, even ro-
mantle, faculty, good color and really
deft technique.
The fourth of the seasons exhibi-
tions at the Grolier Club is composed
OF manuscripts and books, chiefly Eng
lish. The collection ranges from the
Caxton Chaucer down through Milton,
Dryden, Pope and Johnson to Shelley
and Keats, Browning and Tennyson.
Many of the first editions included have
beside them fragments of manuscript.
