exhibit at the Museum of a series
of new paintings by Randall Davey,
the brilliant young New York art
list, who last winter was special in
structor in art at the Chicago Art
Institute. Word comes from New
York that his canvasses produced
at santa Fee last year have found
ready and appreciative acceptance
as well as the more substantial
recognition of ready sale at good
figures by wealthy art connoisseurs.
In a roundabout way comes word
also that Davey will he given an
opportunity, in company with such
moderns as Robert Henri, John
Sloan and George Bellows, who
have all painted in Santa Fe, TO
exhibit in London and Paris under
auspices that would be envied by
much older and more widely
known artists. Mr.. Davey is eX-
pected to send six paintings and
a dozen or so prints to this exhibit,
which is to demonstrate to Europe
that America is keeping pace with
art development and growth.
