Japanese painters in kimonos combined
to suggest something esoteric in the art
of Mr. Koume. This artist is. however,
nothing more dangerous than cubist.
He paints states of the SOUL" His
color is good he has a sensitive touch,
feeling for design and doubtless all
the technique that is necessary to
any artist Dominating his technique,
though. Is a love of mysticism, and
when an Fastener happens to be mys-
tic he seems to Westerners to be mysti-
cal indeed.
Mr.. Koume, who is delightful young
man or the utmost refinement. explains
his intentions beautifully, but he admits
himself that words are inadequate TO
describe the things he would do in
paint. and so he has invented a SYM
boil for his art somewhat like a Maltese
cross. This symbol cannot really be
pronounced, but for the sake of conver-
sational purposes he has agreed to al
low IL to be referred TO as "Reitherism."
"The more advanced painting of the
present age" he says. has so far pro-
gressed as TO be able to delineate mental
phenomena. But these schools of paint
ing are unable TO exhibit anything de-
cisively and analytically as to the origin
OF things and the substance or the mind.
They only deceive themselves and others
through unsatisfactory self-affirmations.
I, who found 1t impossible to conform to
this state of unreason. have at last ar
rived at this my art, Reitherism. or
spirtico-etheric art. through purest and
truest intuition and by means OF sim
cerest speculation and pious devotion.

"Reitherism is an ratification of hu-

things material and immaterial'
The above are excerpts from a
brochure by Mn Koume that accompa-
nies the exhibition. In the complete

there is much color that Is borrowed

ROGERS MEMORIAL SHOW.

For the first time in the history OF the
Society of Independent Artists the an
nual show which starts February 26 at
the Waldorf Astoria, will include me-
mortal exhibition. Mary G. Rogers, to
whom that honor has been accorded. was
one of the founders and directors OF the
society She died last summer at thir-
ty-eight She exhibited at, the Mac
Dowell Club, at the Worcester Museum,
besides the annual independent shows.
Her work will be confined TO one room.
and will include forty oils. water colors
monotypes, &c. selected from the large
number she left at her death. or her per-
sonality, achievements and struggles.
Robert HenriS one of the society's di'
rectors, says:
'rWhen the work Of Mary Rogers was
shown me by her sister. I realized that
she was not only an artist or ABILITY
but of Importance. She evidently re-
ceived the influence of all the older move
ments. No doubt she learned great deai
from the study Of such as Renoir and
Cezanne. but find in her work all these
influences serve only as advantages to
a definitely original and personal ex-
nression. That same beautiful person.

her. work more or less in obscurity.

Nothing pleases the disciples Of
this school more than to be at
tackled. Every time bigot shouts
aloud in the market place his detesta-
ton of modern art fresh troups OF
converts crowd to worship in the gal

principle of this phenomenon is per-

Certainly no artistic movement in his

this persecution it finds itself more
strongly intrenched in the public re-
gard than ever before.

tirely with the view of aiding the newer
