can Artist, Makes an Important
Art Announcement.

circles were somewhat upset TODAY
over the announce ment from Miss
Lillian Genth, an American painter.
that she will no longer paint the fe-

Her announcement was simple.
Miss Genth begs to announce that
she has definitely discontinued
painting nudes In the future she
will devote herself to Spanish and
Oriental themes exclusively" but it's
simplicity Immediately caused ru-
mors that religion had prompted
her to forsake the undraped figure.
To that she replied. Il shall never
paint another nude-money, even
life and death, must be subordinat.
ed to art-let us leave religion out. .
Miss Genth is a pupil OF Whistler
and one of the few women members
OF the American National Academy.
Her works hang in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. the Brooklyn Insti-
tute, the National Gallery in Wash
fngton. the Carnegie Institute in
Pittsburgh and the Cremer collec-
