Richard Bishop is an American, born
in Syracuse, n. Y, and educated in the
public schools of that city. He grad
uated from Cornell University as a
mechanical engineer. He is now
member Of the Art and Print Clubs
of Philadelphia. the Business Mems
Art Club Of that city and the Chicago
Society Of Etchers.
Roland Clark comes originally from
New Rochelle, n. Y. and he has a
studio at present in New York City.
He is perhaps better known as an
illustrator than as an etcher, but his
etchings Of wild fowls have lately
brought him to special attention. His
studies for these We're made during 90
years residence in Virginia, on Chesa.
peake Bay and it's tributary waters.
p The third Of this trio, Eric g. Scott,
was an Australian sheep herder, and
while herding sheep decided to try his
luck In the field Of art in Paris. Under
the encouragement, or perhaps in spite
of the encouragement, of Mrs. Bertha
E. Jaques, secretary OF the Chicago
Society Of Etchers. he has pursued his
studies in Paris and has made such
rapid progress that he now takes his
place among the more skillful of CO.
temporary etchers.
Fuller notice Of the work of these
men will be given later.

A. phimister Proctor, the sculptor
is one Of the foremost Of our CO.
temporary American artists, one who
has made a speciality of animals,
and among these of horses. Among
his best known works are "Panthers,'
Prospect Park, BROOKLYN; "Tigers,"
Princeton. and buffaloes and tigers
on our bridges here in Washington.
He has to his credit an equestrian
statue of Col. Roosevelt. erected In

Heretofore a silver cup has been
used as a trophy In cavalry compe-
titions. The substitution of this no
table work Of art is due to the gem
erosity of Maj. L. f. Goodrich,
Reserve officer residing in Miami, Fla,
who donated the money for it. This
was indeed a patriotic service and
at the same time a service to art.
The trophy is to stand on a pedestal
on which will be placed silver plates
commemorating each winning troop
in turn. The bronze and pedestal will
move from place to place as the
troops in different posts become
winners. Remaining at post for a
years, it will serve to set a standard.

It is true that all Of these works
are essentially in the new manner,
the prevailing style, a style which
Mr.. Phillips himself suggests may
be "ludicrously out-ofdate the day
after tomorrow; but in a way they
are unconsciously re-echoing the past.
For instance, has not Mr.. Georges
Braque's long, narrow fruit, knife

popular yard of roses? Is not Georgia
O'Keefe's leaf pattern the uncOn-
scious descendant Of those decorative
wall panels made Of real Autumn

found in many homes 40 years ago?
Different, yes, and belonging TO today,

similar impulse. Again. as Mr.. Phil

with discriminating taste. has assem-

remark should be made Of the paint

Here again we have reference to

rested a year ago that the real reason
Tor the present vogue for colonial FUR

public to recapture, IL possible, the
quiet and placidity of colonial days.
There was certainly much that was
engaging and delightful in the life OF
the eighteenth century as history re-
cords it, and. happily. as Mr.. Salaman
has said, that century has left us n
pleasant little legacy of dainty art
and delicate craft that cares with II

1@HE initial showing for the sea
son at the Phillips Memorial
Gallery, which was re0pened
4 this month, is a small collcc-
ton comprising Is paintings of
still life in new manners by American
and foreign artists. note OF Special
interest attaches to this exhibition.
because in it Mr.. Phillips makes ms
debut as a painter and shows a stih-
life composition, flowers in Il glass on
a circular red.top table before an open
window, which he himself executed
last Summer. This picture IS essen
TALLY in the new manner and takes its
place with evident ease in the com
pany in which il is now found.
There are those who claim that a
great artist is capable of producing in
any chosen field, that the spirit rather
than technical training is the essen
tial. Mr.. Phillips. in entering the
field of painting. has taken the fence
in a single bound from the field OF
literature. in which he has already
attained distinction. 1t is interesting
to note that in making the leap he
has completely changed his style, for
in his writing he embroiders his
themes and exquisitely employing
the utmost refinement of expression,
finish in technique, whereas in paint
ing he has adopted the code of the
modernists and has dispensed com
pletely with the amenities of grace
and charm. But in the new field he
is essentially un-to.date, and proves
himself, If not scholarly, most clever
and adaptable.
For an art writer to have first-hand
knowledge Of the technique of paint
ing is a great advantage. To live as
intimately as Mr.. Phillips does with
works of art and in close asSociatiO
with artists is bound to produce de-
sita for personal expression. 1t is
the oefore not strange that momenta-
rily Mr.. Phillips has exchanged tho
pen for the brush. 1t is in Il measure
remarkable, however. that with SO
little technical training he has
achieved result comparable with that
of professional confreres.
This little exhibition is exceedingly
interesting. 1t comprises a painting
by Henri Matisse of anemones. very
similar in character to the one by the
same artist which received first prize
at the Carnegie Institute this year. 1t
also shows really beautiful arrange |
ment of fruit and flowers by William |
Meyerowitz of New York, luscious in |
color and at the same time toneful; |
It includes a long, narrow panel Of
pears and plums. boldly rendered, dec |
orative in design, and an enormously |
magnified maple leaf, rendered Curl |
ously in triplicate for the sheer beauty |
OF its pattern, by Georgia O'keefe. |
There is an amusing composition en- !
titled "Winter Window by Samuel |
Halpert, an extraordinarily direct |
piece of painting which renders with |
startling realism the illusion of light |
as it falls on book and other objects |
upon a table. But it presents a dou-
BILE viewpoint. One looks down upon
