Gets First Prise.
The first prize. silver medal. was
awarded by a committee composed of
w. Gettier to a painting Of flowers

place of honor on the semi-circular
wall. Miss Munroe has studied with
Hawthorne and Is chiefly interested
in interpreting effects OF light. To
the impressionists, but she has also
been for several years In the van
guard OF the new movement. The
prize picture shows a bowl OF flowers
and the canvas is unQuestionably
flooded with light. 1t Is also pleas

too near in order to see it. Some

For her painting entitled Morning
Light. New York." Mrs. Duncan
Phillips was given honorable men
tion. Her theme Is an extremely
difficult and complicated one and is
rendered with that directness and ap-
parent ease which betokens mastery
OF something more than medium.
She has taken commonplace subject,

The Society Of Washington Artists
opens its thirty-second annual ex-
hibition at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art tomorrow. As compared to local
exhibitions In other cities this dis
play will be found to admirably hold
its own. The majority of the ninety
three paintings included in the cata-
logue are essentially modern. There
Is no question that. Washington artists
are UP to date. Furthermore, the
work which is shown is Of 4 distinct
ly professional character. all OF which
rebounds to its credit.
The art Of painting today is pass
ing through q period OF transforma-
ton. Later on 1t may come out
stronger and better for the expert
ence, but at the present time 1t suf-
fers. II Is true that what was revo-
lutionary yesterday is academic today.
But there Is also a possibility OF a
pendulum swinging too far in one
direction and OF liberty even in the
matter Of artistic expression degen-
Grating into license. It was once sup
posed that artists painted pictures In
order to interpret beauty. to pass on
visions of loveliness: not. Of course,
mere pretty pictures or pictures
which told a simple story, but pic
torial representations Of things seen.
and the truer these interpre tationS
were the better.
Now Have New School.
But now we have with US the ex-
pressionists whose purpose is not to
represent or even interpret things
seen but to record through the me-
dium OF pictorial art emotions, those
feelings which such sights have pro-
duced In themselves, regardless OF
whether these thoughts and feelings
are. beautiful or ugly. worthy or un-
on. The formulas which they use are
more or less the same and have come
into vogue quite generally even
among those who are not avowed err
pressionists. In other words the art
language OF the day is kind Of
vernacular, a stenographic code in
tellisible only to the initiated. Gone
are all the Eraces OF workmanship
which mark the works of the master
painters. In other words, those who
visit current exhibitions today must
not expect to find such paintings as
they found therein twenty or even
ten years ago. such paintings as
adorn the walls of the leading gal
leries Of art. They must realize that
cotemporary work is passing through a
new phase, whether of development or
degeneration who shall say, but differ
ent. and must be judged by different
standards from those Of the past.
The first impression that one gets
of the current exhibition at the Cor
coran Gallery Is of pleasing color, Of
freshness and of vigor. and this i'm
preston Is not lost upon closer and
more careful inspection of the ex-
hibits.
