THE Phillips Memorial Gallery an
nounces the extension Of the exhi-
bitlon set forth in its two main galleries
last Autumn through this month and
part OF March, and at the same time the
opening OF an exhibition of a greup Of
lyric painters, to be shown through
February and March in the Little Gal
lery.
This exhibition" Mr.. Phillips ex-
plains in the folder listing the paint
ings shown, "is an experiment in hang
ing together In one small room pictures
in both oil and water color by IL ar
lists OF marked individuality and no
common allegiance to any school or
rule. The bond which exists between
them and the atmosphere Of congepial
give and take which will pervade the
Little Gallery while they are In it is
the inevitable affinity of all true artists
and especially Of those whose work is
created in a spirit of lyric poetry"
Lyric1sm." he continues, "in a paint
err means that quality of his mind and
eye which gives him emotions he can
only communicate by the touch of his
brush, by the choice of his lines and
colors, by the selection for his subject
OF things he has loved to look upon
ana OF the special lights in which they
were seen 1t may, mean that he is
aware of what is going on in nature
and that he is somehow enabled TO
share in cosnic forces. It NAV mean
only that he has felt the natural magic
OF trees and fruits and flowers or of
little rivers and of little rooms which
one intimately knows. The poetry Of a
painter may be a matter of finding a
synthesS Tor space, or limiting at ones
intuition OF a universal quality, in some
chance observation perhaps, of a noun
radiance, or OF a fishing craft at anchor
riding the waves, or of tall nasts state
ly IN a harbor. There are many vivid
moments Of life recorded here without
any pretense that the records are i'm
portant. And yet important they are.
because true sensibility is rare, and the
fact that modernity. in spite of its con-
Germs with engines and complex organi-
nations and new theories OF space and
the atom and the subconscious mind,
can still produce group of artists who
can see and feel so simply and never
tneleSs with such exquisite subtlety and
cnarm-the fact that our standardized
world can still boast of such individuals
lis news OF the most cheering and Of
the most vital consequence"
Inc painters represented in this ex-
hloltlon are Rousseau, WILLARD, Bon
nard, Sickert, Roussel, Marin, Demuth.
tucker, Coleman, Zorach. Olive Rush
Marjorie Phillips and Clairin.
