Views of Majorca,

William j. Potter is among those who
have arrived from foreign parts, and ex-
hibits In the Kingore Galleries the fruits
of his sojourn in the Isle of Majorca.
AS a painter he has grown considerably
since his last appearance here, and
painters will view his canvases with
respect.
He has painted Notre Dame in Paris.
and several views in Honfleur and
Gloucester. but most of his subjects
have been found I'm Palma. He has
painted Palma so assiduously that the
spectator seems almost able to take pos

arrangement for taking the air. and the

the hill make enticlng pictures.
Mr. Potter has done them full justice.

From technical point of view there
are too many goats. Millet and other
masters put in fiocks of sheep for
their shepherdesses to watch, but
usually resolve the flock into mass.
In the MahonrI Young pictures the
goats are spotted with far too much
recklessness over the landscape. In
the smaller pieces-the watercolors
and ctchings-this does not apply, and
some of them are the most successful
pieces in the collection.

Some of the best known French mod
ernists contribute to an exhibition now
open in the Daniel Gallery. Among
them are Picasso. Signac, Derain, Tou-
Marie Laurencin. Most of the paintings
are small but all of them are character
istic. There are two still life things by
Picasso in particular that are charming.
The composition in them has that lazy
sort of security that only Picasso man
ages to get, and the decorative value Is
high. The Signacs have such ncisive
color that they seem like etchings in
color, and the Cezanne water colors
have the volume and power for which
he is famous.

Davey and Miller
In Joint Exhibition

Randall Davey is in the same boat
with Mahonri Young when IL comes to
his cowboy pictures. The cowboy tone
is going off, most students of the sub
iect admit. and the virile specimens that
Col Roosevelt was proud to associate
with in his youth are scarcer than they
we're, but ] should hate to show Mr.
Davcy's studies even to such spoiled
darling of the profession as Mr.. Will
lam $. Hart. am afraid the comment
would be. "Tush."
Like Mr.. Young, Mr.. Davey lacks tho
imaginative power to enter completely
into such life. It's not necessary to be
a cowboy or TO have been one in order
to enter into their standards. Just how
much of cowboy Remington was.
forget, but It is clear that il 1t had been
necessary he could have been one. He
met them with a manliness equal to
their own. One need not have been shy
about showing the Remington drawings
10 the real COW punchers. They would
have seen that Remington knew the
language.
However. Mr. Davey is improving
Barring the cowboys and his tendency
TO pose characters against O back
ground in his studio, he is improving.
There is one "Old Man sitting by a
Hill' that gets away from Mr.. Davey's
formula and is the better for II. And
the portraits Of the Archbishop Of New
Mexico" have an intense quality that is
personal. Most of the other portraits
conform to the Henri tradition and are
numerically posed.
Mr. Davey evidently says 20 his
models, Now put your hands up across
your chest. for ! only do hands and
heads" and the result as you look about
tho gallery is startling. In some OF the
pictures the hands are 80 detached that
at first glance one fears they had been
dsmembered before the painting began
and introduced as trophies. The mental
state that painter gets into who sticks
too close 10 a formula descends upon
Mr. Davey at such times and even his
color is mannared In distressing way.
The purple IN the background of the
"Old Mexican" Is most unpleasant and
the same color Ia equally disagreeable
when used on the lips OF some Of the
other characters.
But Mr.. Davey Is improving just the
same. He did panel of RED Bulls

Colbert's color has an Indian quality
and his style Is distinctly affected by
the modern trend Of art.
Mr.. Nicolaides is also modern and
many of his watercolors show traces OF
the influence Of Cezanne. One of his
most attractive paintings Is a still life
in which the color OF an orchid Is ex-
cellent and the sprawling foliage of the
plant decorativcly handled. From My

az ease in this medium than in oils and

His oils, whatever other qualities they
may have, never sparkle. On the whole,
Mr.. Daveys residence in New Mexico

Mr.. Davey's pictures are being shown
in the Montross Galleries along with
the recent work of Hayes Miller. Mr..
Miller like Mahonri Young and Randall
Davey, seems too much occupied in ac-

Various Exhibitions
In Many Galleries

OF all those who refuse TO paint in the
manner of to-day and who continue to
apply paint to canvases in the style of
twenty years ago. Harry A. Vincent,
who is showing at Milch's. is the most
successful. 1t Is possible to admire his
pictures no matter what the spectators
habit of mind may be, for Mr. Vincent
is certainly heart and soul in his work,
and no one has a right, TO ask of any
artist more than that.
II is to be hoped that those collectors
who deplore the tendencies of the young
painters Of the day will stand by Mr.
Vincent Some of his marine scenes are
as brilliant as the Ziems that these col
lectors admire. and from the point of
view OF sincerity are infinitely better
than Ziems The picture of boats and
docks that has the place of honor is Il
