Washington Women Open
Art School In Capital.
As straws show the way the wind
blows, each studio or school Of art
which is opened in washington
gives evidence of Washington's slow
and somewhat belated-but still
sure development as an art center.
The new Critcher-Hill School Of Art,
established at 1O3 Connecticut ave-
nue., Is, moreover, an interesting de-
velopment intrinsically for both
Miss Catherine G. Critcher Snd Miss
Clara Hill are artists Of the first
rank and gentlewomen well known
IN society In the Capital.
Miss Hill is a sculptor, pupil
! OF Augustus st. Gaudens and Denys
! Pouch, director Of the Academic
Franchise at Rome; Of Injalbert and
the Ecolei des Beaux Arts. She has
the medal Of the Academic Julian
and her work took prize at the
Alaskan-Yukon Pacific Exposition in
Seattle.
As, a painter Miss Critcher needs
no. introduction to Washington. She
has exhibited here repeatedly and
on several occasions groups Of her
landscapes have been shown at the
Arts Club, Of which she is a mem
Der. She studied under Jean Paul
Laurens and Richard Miller in
Paris and was a first honor student
Of the Academic Julian and a med
aliSt Of Cooper Union and the Cor
coran Gallery Of Art. Recently she
has been serving as an instructor
at the Corcoran School Of art. She
is, too, a, member Of the Taos So
ciety Of Artists, New Mexico, and
has contributed some Of the brilliant
studies which have come out Of that
stimulating atmosphere.
A Virginian by birth Miss Crit
cher has lived much Of her life in
Washington; and If remember COR
rectly she once maintained a studio
In st. Matthew's Alley, pictur-
esque spoot beloved Of Washington
artists, She is a sister Of the late
James Duncan Gatewood.
