There is a pleasing exhibition of
landscape paintings by Jennie Van
Fleet Cowdery at the galleries of Jo-
scph Drummer, along with special
showing by nine other French and
American artists, among them Renoir
Derain, Pascin and P-sndergsst- Her
methods are simple and she attempts
no difficult color combinations. Rather
she chooses to let a single color pre-
dominate, obtaining her variations
through a gentle blending of It's tone
into these simple vistas of grass and
trees there is introduced an occasional
figure study or group of figures which
the artist handles with delicacy and
charm. There is gayety and summery
atmosphere in afternoon, 1862" which
depicts I'D old-fashioned costumed
group under an arch of trees. The two
Rcnoir examples are q still life of
flowers and woman gardening. There
is sombre still life of jugs by Derain
and several studies by Jules Pascin in
o languid, erotic vein. Prendergast has
& decorative painting of children in
park that we'll illustrates the naive,
childhke vision of his art. Helene
Iungerich has two portrait heads
worked out in thick paint combina-
tion, making them resemble plaster re-
liefs. Leon Joseph Hart, George Of
and Walter Pach each are represented
by several paintings.
Joseph Margulies, another young
artist from the East Side whose work
shows considerable versatility and in
herent power, has come forward with
his initial exhibition at the art salon
Of the Hotel Majestic. The youthful
exhibitor. most of whose work has been
done in the Ghetto, reveals the char
acters and types around him in the
various mediums of oil, etching, pastel
and drawing. In his etchings, es-
pecially, he has developed strong
faculty for the Interpretation of char
, acter and personality The best of
these are "a Rabbi" Synagogue Jani-
tor" Donkey y-headed Type" and "Reb
Shmeal." The painting, "Darkey with
Pan" though lacking definite style and
individuality, is cleverly composed and
deity painted. Certain studies of
children's heads are lively in spirit.
In fact. the best that can be spoken
of in the artist is his ability to inter
pref truthfully.

Cameron, Muirhead Bone, Whistler,
Meryon and others will be on exhibition

tunity to study some present day ex

earlier masters. The examples are

naents, among the Haden's being "Sun-
set in Ireland" and "Shere Mill Pond"
while Whistler's Lime Burner" and
stsRlack Iron Wharfv ara shoun Muir
head Bones single example is "Demoli-
tion of ST. James Hail." fine archi-

horses that are introduced. Earl Hor-
ter, Henry Winslow, Leigh Hunt and
John Taylor Arms are represented with
one or more examples, the latter's sky
and water prints being reproduced in
color tones.
