will give a talk on The Miracle of Geneva"
in the auditorium Of the Corcoran Gallery.
TWO Cincinnati artists are exhibiting at the
Arts Club, 2017 street. at the present time.
They are Emma Mendenhall and Dixie SeIden.
Both studied under the same masters and
apparently have travelled and worked much
together, but their work is very dissimilar in
style.
Miss Mendenhall shows about IS water colors,
painted. chiefly abroad in France Spain and
Italy-elaborate compositions rendered in clear
wash, with. a crisp and incisve technique.
Miss Selden's exhibit includes portraits, land
scapeS and boat pictures. Among her portraits
are two of exceptional strength and mert-one
of her former master; Frank Duveneck, painted
in his latter years, but showing him still IN
splendid physical condition; the other Of
Breton Fishwife" seated in simple French
chair, q peasant woman tnothless and, wrinhled,
with projecting. chin and eyes deep set, huE
beautiful in simple LONELINESS, with the strings
of her white peasants, cap lending suitable
decoration. Both of these portraits are genu-
inely interpretive, the one painted with great
reserve and studious care, the other with
incisive directneSs.
Miss SeIden's work Is richly colorfMl She
paints with full brush Her still life studies
are particularly handsome. She also has
painted interesting street scenes. For instance,
the characteristic canyon of Broad street. New
York; the scene Of operation of the Curb Mar.
ket, and, in interesting contrast the market
places of Guimper and Concarneau, France
New World finance as against Old World flowers
and vegetables.
These exhibitions continue for another week
and are open to the public from 10 in the
morning until 4:30 OF in the afternoon. They
