tn


Cunningham, one of the pro-
prietors spent the greater part of
last Summer in Spain, making the
ACQUAINTANCE of the leading Spanish
PAINTERS ard successfully persuadlng
a number of the best to send repre-
sentative groups Of their works to
this country especially for exhibition
in Washington.
Most notable will be the collection
OF 10 large paintings by Anglada,
5 of which were shown at the Car
negie Institute. the other coming
direct from Spain, a loan from the
artist. and all 10 to make circuit
of galleries in the United States this
Winter.
Of great interest will be a collec-
ton of 80 portraits by Manuel Bene-
ditto. director general of the National
Gallery of Spain, at Madrid, the Span
ish portrait painter of fashion, who
will bring with him his own private
collection of tapestries of rare inter-
est and value. There will be a group
by Solona, the Spanish modernist.
whose work re-echoeS the note struck
by Ell Greco and who has won the
approval of Zuloaga and Sargent.
There will be works by Mongrell
pleinairist; still life of a forceful
and interesting character by Marti
usual sort by NeStor, whose home is
in the Canary Islands, and landscapes
by Tito Cittadini, an Argentine
painter. who has chosen to interpret
the landscape of Spain and whose
works are colorful and graphic. There
is rumor that a rare collection of
paintingn by Mancini, the great ltal-
ian portraitist, assembled by a Euro
pean private collector, will also come
season.
Benedito will accompany his collec-
ton to the United States and help to
arrange his own exhibit here in
- Washington. Zutoaga, after declining
for many years, has also consented to
visit the United States and will, it is
understood, execute one or more COM
missions for portraits here in Wash
ington.
In all. it would seem that we are
promised an interesting Spanish Winter.
As contemporary Spanish artists have
been doing most interesting and excel
lent work in recent years, this should be
good news.

"A Baker, one of the instructors in
the Corcoran School Of Art and a we'll
known painter of portraits and fig
ures, as well as occa ionally Of land
scapes, has taken a studio for the
Winter. Mr.. Baker, who, it will be
remembered. was a prize winner in
one of the Corcoran Gallery's biennial
exhibitions, and who is represented
in the American section of the inter-
national exposition at Venice, as
sembled under the auspices of the
American Federation of Arts, spent
the Summer in Maine sketching. The
portion which he explored was in the
vicinity of Rockland, and it yielded
rocky coaStline and typical Maine
woods.
MR. AND MRS. LEISENRING spent
4VA the Summer at Marblehead, and
found the old fishing town with its
crook ed streets and beautiful loca-

THE collection of water colors by
L Capt. William ionertaf, an
Australian painter. now residing in
England, shown at the Shaddick
Studios, 1907 I street, yesterday, was
extremely interesting. Not only did
the little pictures of London interpret
the atmo phere of the great city. its
life, its spirit, but the landscape
paintings showing bits of English
country were spontaneous and charm
ing to an unusual degree, reminiscent
of Constable, but posse sing the
