Malcolm Parcell
lhc Debut of an Interesting
Young Painter

strictly speaking, the exhibition that
Mr.. Malcolm Parcell is making at tho
Macbeth gallery marks his second an
Peafahcc IN New York. He first came
INTO notice here few years ago, when
portrait by him, called "Louine," was
shown in the Academy. Nevertheless
we cannot but regard him as making
nus debut now, for the eight PAINTINGS

future,

gestion that the artist promised 70 de-
Vclop point of view Of his own, that
the decorative taste he had would little

here that calls for detailed comment,
but the ensemble is refreshing, 1t is
due to the spontaneity Of the things
shown, casual bits, fragments, which
make up for their "unimportance' by
possessing, often, personal force and
charm. Open-air work gives the key
to what is best in the two other gal
leries. There are good winter land

and others. The coast scenes by Gull

lures vaguely suggesting the pagodas
and minarets of the East are controlled
by no obvious principle of design. They
happen as though capriciously. If Miss
Spore has sought to emulate the ia
panese print in composition, which we
dimly suspect, she has frustrated her
own purpose through an imperfect
handling of the art of harmony. En-
phasis, we are told, has sometimes a
weakening effect. Through painting
ruth.ossly in strain of excessive gor-
geousness this artist hurts the pattern
at which we infer her to be aiming.
