/ A DISTINGUISHED Austrian artist,
- Leo KatZ, has been in Washington
this week and arrangements have
been made to hold private exhibi-
ton of his works at the Austrian le-
CATION some time next month, at which
time Mr.. Katz will return to Wash
ington and give a number OF talks
on art.
Mr. Katz's style is extremely indi-
vidual, an interesting combination of
the old and the new. In spirit and In
tention he is a modernist, but he is
also traditionally the descendant and
pupil of Holbein and Durer, and da

His portraits in oils are rather fatty
treated. but are peculiarly decorative
and interesting. His portraits in
water color. and more still, his silver
points, show exquisite craftsmanship
and great refinement in characterize
ton.

the Rabcock Galleries in New York
during November. The exhibition COM
prised "a landscape paintings, and
was very favorably commented upon
by the New York critics. The follow =
ing appreciative notice of the exhi-
bition appeared in the Herald and
Tribune: In his current exhibition of
|, landscapes at the Babcock Gallery,
Wells NJ Sawyer carries on In an able
way the tradition of the Hudson River
School. His "a paintings show a gen.
tie outlook and sensitive apprecia-
ton for that field. Especially in view
ing the Palisades at distance does
he ply his hand with poetic fondness.
The simple old Milr is rare land
mark in his hands. His colors are
harmoniously attuned to the gentle
huances Of changing season. In his
Summer on the Hudson and Spring
in Westchester' they gain their rich
est expression. A notable variant In
his main theme is the river wharf
with a tug alongside. 1t Is ingracia-
