reau. They were sketched from life
and were portraits of children, not
localized figures, and were received
with widespread approval. They
were first exhibited in Toulouse where
a noted French art critic saw them.
He said, "after all, it does not take a
Frenchman to do this sort of work.,
and it was difficult to convince him
that it was the work of an American
woman. The posters placed at the
disposal Of French mothers infor-
nation that would aid them in keep
ing their children we'll and strong and
thus encouraged the men at the front
through the knowledge that their
children were being cared for . After
serving their purpose in France, the
posters were sent to Washington and
hung in the Red Cross National Head
quarters building until a few weeks
ago when they were requested for ex-
hibition purposes at the Geneva head
quarters of the Red Cross Societies.
Miss U%pjohn's sketches of children
so clearly reflected the great SYM
pathy of the artist with her little sub
jects and her understanding of them,
that she was commissioned in 1919 by
the American Red Gross to visit
those European countries where the
Junior American Red Cross is at work,
to draw types of children who are
beneficiaries of the loving, unselfish
service of the children of America.
The color sketches and drawings
which constitute the Red Cross pub
lie exhibit are the result Of that con-
mission upon which Miss Upjohn is
still engaged.
Miss Upjohn is a native American,
born in New Jersey, and has been
known for 25 years as an artist in
portraiture and illustrtive drawings.
She is a member of the National As
ISOLATION of Sculptors.
