The artists are agitated over the
general tendency of home decorators to
discriminate against paintings as means
of interior embellishments for modern
homes.
Such change of heart on the part Of
those who direct the planning of the
new homes is discouraging to the
artists.
The Art Club Of Philadelphia has
noticed the situation and is urging ac-
ton that will counteract the present
tendency ana bring back the use Of
portraits, sketches and landscapes, not
to mention seascapes and drawings OF
fora and fauna, such as were desired
in tie former days.
Edward w. Redfeld, speaking for the
Board Of Directors Of the club, said
the present situation was harming the
future Of the field Of art. He asserted
that the young artist who saw no
chance to sell his pictures would be
discouraged.
Representatives of firms of Interior
decorators declared that the picture for
wall decoration, in any quantity, was
becoming close to passe. Today they
said. the color scheme is followed from
room to room. 1t includes wall paper.
frescoing. hangings and furniture, 1t
leaves, here and there, a space for
single picture, but 1t frowns on the
great mass of collections Of oils and
prints.
Want to See Artist Prosper
eve in this club want to see the
artist prosper" said Mr.. Redfeld. who
is himself an artist of national repu'
tation. 1--WE have our own exhibits,
and the main purpose for which this
club was founded Is to cultivate an ap-
probation Of art.
1--WE like to sec the product Of the
pen and the brush in the home. We
want the public to appreciate those
who have given life Of study to
creative artistic work. Tho artist
brings within the walls the breath Of
out doors, the beauty of life and ma
ture, and his product once hung from

WORK Of noted
ARTISTS ON VIEW
Art Club Shows Significant
Paintings by CARRIER,
Henri and Waugh
HARMONY IN PICTURES

One Of the most significant art ex-
hibitions that this city has witnessed
for some time closes this week at the
Art Club, where It has been held since
November 1S. 1t was the first time
that an invited exhibition has been held
at the club.
The exhibition Is made up OF the
work Of three artists for many years
identified with the art life Of this
city. Daniel CARRIER. Robert Henri and
Frederick J. Waugh. Mr.. CARRIER was
born here and has never been identified
with any other city. artistically. while
Mr.. Waugh il the son Of well known
Philadelphia artists Robert Henri
who came here at the age Of twenty
one to study at the Academy OF the Fine
Arts. has never since lost the close
touch with Phlladclphia's art, which
he established at that time.
1t would be difficult to imagine three
artists more strikingly dissimilar In
ideas and in technique. Mr.. CARRIER
has marvellous sense Of detail in his
work, but his handling Of these de-
tails simply adds conviction to the
finished picture; 1t is means and
not an end as such serves a useful
purpose. Mr.. Waugh runs strongly
to marines, and with almost single
exception "Off the Mainland. the
violence of the elements seems to have
greater appeal to his artistic SENSE
than their more quiet moods. With
his peculiar technique, perhaps this is
not to be wondered at. Mr.. Henri is
more intellectual than emotional in his
work. which in every line and stroke

Of the brush shows directness, strength
and, above all, skill.
But while the artists are radically
different in about every way that
artists can differ, still there is no sense
of a lack Of harmony in the forty four
pictures which have been hung, twelve
OF them by Mr.. Waugh. seventeen by
Mr.. CARRIER and fifteen by Mr.. Henri.
Probably the most impressive of Mr..
Maugh's wa pictures is that entitled
'Beyond," although many of the
others nre also very lofty in thought
as well as beautifully expressed, espe-
Glally the one named 1.-The Sentinels. :"

the hrst time in this city.
A Lovely Canvas
A peculiarly striking work of Mr..
Garber is "Old Willows--Springtim ;"
a lovely canvas in thought and beauti-
fully achieved with both brush and
mind. The artist has shown nature
in most of her varying moods I'm the
series of paintings which he is exhibit
ing.
Mr.. Henri has been criticized oc-
casionally for his portraiture. which
II has been said is so truthful as TO be
brutal, but this is not the case with
those portraits which he is showing in
this exhibition. His superb rendition
of form is shown in LA Rubia." and
his fondness for the richest of reds,
green's and dark backgrounds finds
ample excuse in some of the other sub.
jects which he has chosen along the
line of portraiturc, such as Hawaii
and Navalis,' "lndian Girl" Little
Spanish Girl and Jean" There is
also an extremely interesting and un-
Henri-like portrait entitled Fisher
man. There is also another marked
departure from his usual style in a
beautiful landscape, 1.-THE Rain"
