INDIANA ARTISTS
SHOW BEST WORK
IN EXHIBIT HERE

Exhibit HEhE
| A brilliant and representative group
OF paintings by Indiana artists will be
opened Sunday afternoon in the public
art gallery In the high school building.
The artists, with the exception OF a
few who have only recently presented
work. are well known in the state.
Particularly interesting to Rich
mond is the display of her own artists.
for she Is ever loyal, but number Of
other cities have sent ENJOYS,
Mrs. Maude Kaufman Eggemeyer,
whose work Is always fresh and liv-
able, and who might be called Rich
mond's jolliest artist, has given the
exhibit several charming pieces. in
GLIDING 1.-THE Butterfly Baby" q rad
| liant portrait, "The Knitter," q por-
! trait Of Rebecca Frame, who was one
of the most dfligent Red Cross work
ers OF the city. and ."Old Houses In
| Centerville," an Interestingly colorful
backyard view.
| j. E. Bundy had expected to send
two or three canvases but was called
out OF the city by the death of q rela-
tive, and was unable to complete the
( work he wished to display. Instead

admired ION the Edge Of the Woods"
which was shown In the Richmond ex-
hibit last fall.
Elwood Morris, too, has only one
picture in the exhibit, a charming land
scape, "A Hoosier Memory" which is
a very pleasing reality as well as
Memory" Using his characteristic
coloring on a deep woods and q high
bit of sky he has produced a canvas
Of real charm. It Is regrettable that
he does not have others in the exhibit.
Francis F. Brown has charming
tempera, 1.-THE Country Road" hang.
| ing on the west wall Of the east gal
lery. It is well done but not as gu
perb1y as 1.-THE Clouds" an oil on the
| east wall. The atmosphere of this
picture is splendid; the quality of
his work good; its distance keen and
| rounded.
Eyden Also Exhibits.
William Eyden. Jr, a younger art
list OF the city, who is following his
lures, including weird sepia study,
and "Near the Town." more colorful.
| Eyden has given no beeches this time.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. M. Nixon have
loaned charming landscape by
Charles Conner, deceased.
Miss Elmira Kempton, a Richmond
woman, will perhaps surprise visitors
at the gallery more than anyone else
| with her notable advancement since
her last exhibition. Miss Kempton
studied in Cincinnati for part of two
years. Mrs. Eggemeyer has been
coaching her for some time. "Silent
Moments of Spring." "Lo, Spring
Awakes," and Comes Autumn" are
three of hers which grace the exhibit
Her coloring is more firm, and more
imagination is shown in these can
vases.
Doel Reed, of Nashville, one of the
Brown county colony, has number
of very nice small pictures, including
a particularly interesting one, "Along
tugs and other steamboats, are plying
in the Ohio, which has been called
Americas river Rhine" Above are
buildings against grey sky.
Olive Rush, of Indianapolis, a for
mer pupil of Mr. Bundy, has a group
of splendid pictures in the exhibit.
Imaginative feeling and excellent
brush work are both displayed in Miss
Rush's work. "a Gypsy Costume
proves one of the most interesting
studies in the gallery, showing artistic
and straightforward work; good ex-
preston and pose in the figure paint
ed. Eleanor" a baby portrait might
be mistaken for a near-Sir Joshua
Reynolds baby, so perfectly is it
painted. Perhaps it is bit stiff, and
maybe the child is too pale to be
healthy, but the picture is charming.
1.-THE Indian Adobe" is another of hers.
Steele Sends Work.
Although 80 years of age T. G.
Steele Of Indianapolis, has sent late
work, Girls Road" a picture OF his
home. Especially charming is the
foreground of the picture thanked on
one side by delicately colored flags"
That Mr.. Steele still has the soul and
brush of an artist is undeniable.
Bright and fresh Is Louise Earring 8
Portrait of Eleanor" One wonders
why she didn't balance Eleanor's arms
but s. P. Baus should have foreshort-
ened the left ar min his miss Eliz-
abeth Greer" as far as that goes. Both
Mrs. Earring and Mr.. Baus have some
nice things in the exhibit, however
A water Tapped peer, "In Old Province.
town." and lovely bowl Of yellow
narcissus are interesting exhibits OF
the former.
Mary F. Overlook Of Cambridge
City has a we'll composed portrait
Just Going" the figure of a woman by
a door, her fingers on the latch. The
painting is not bright, and should be
cared for carefully regarding lights
It Is attractive, and shows careful
work. Other pictures in the exhibit
, ton will be commented upon later.
