A most notable loan exhibition Of
Spanish art opened in the Brooklyn
Museum, October S. inaugurating the
new entrance hall and exhibition
galleries on the first floor. This COW
ers the art of Spain from the fifteenth
century through the time of Goya
and comprises loans from almost all
the leading museums and many pri-
vate collections, emphasizing anew
not only the generosity of institutions
and individuals but also the present
wealth of America in old world
treasures.
In Baltimore, at the museum, the
local Water Color Club Is holding its

and Psalters as well as complete texts,

THE exhibition of reproductions in
color of Modern Paintings in the
Art Gallery at Howard University,
Sixth street and Howard place, has
been lent by the Museum Of Modern
Art, New York, and not only gives
insight into the achievements of a
particular school of painting but
manifests the extraordinary excellence
OF modern reproductive methods.
They are amazingly correct and good.
Collectively this exhibition covers the
modern movement in painting from
Manet to Matisse and shows the di-
vergent rivulets-the various isms"-
which, flowing into the main stream.
have affected its current. The selec-
ton has been well made. There are
reproductions, for example, of Dau-
mier's "Quixote,' of q figure painting
by Corot, Of q marine by our own
Winslow Homer-who would have
been much surprised to find himself
in this company. Renoir is seen in
four examples illustrative Of personal
development; there are works by
Seurat, Gaugin, Van Gogh and Ce-
zanne as well as by the less UNDER
standable Derain, Utrillo, Rouault,
Bonnard and Matisse. Through orig
inals in the Phillips Memorial Gallery
the works Of the modernists are not
unfamiliar to Washington art lovers
but for this very reason these repro
ductions In color are the more signifi-
cant. Unfortunately the exhibition
closes this week.
Miss Edith Mccartney, who has
