Pictures Catch Eye
AS in all exhibits several pictures
catch the eye in the first trip around
the gallery. Not the least of these
are the two oil paintings by H. H
Vessel of the Cincinnati Art academy
One, THE Test, Soap Factory" has as
its subject working man standing by

tof steam r. ..-.s
The treatment of the subject is
Istrikingly similar to the work of Ger
rit A. Beneker. whose Faithful
Frank. very representative OF his
work among the laboring classes, was
in the recent portrait exhibit.
! Delicate color harmonies lend much
lcharm to Vessels "a Street in Green
Iport", which is pervaded by the sum
mer atmosphere of typical New Eng
land seaport town. This probably will
be accorded one of the best pictures
in the exhibit. -
Bundy's Work Shows Up Well.
ACROSS the Valley a clear blue
!cloud-sprinkled sky over a fall land
scape where skeleton trees cast theil
shadows full length upon gay scarlet
and yellow carpet of fallen leaves, is
one of the finest canyasses ever done
by John e. Bundy. Few pictures
