of April II, is a portrait of the young
woman who posed for Epstein's "Oriel
Ross" but Miss Corby was not aware
of this fact until the Epstein sculp-
ture was shown here by the Junior
League early this year.
MISS CORBY thinks her interest
" in modelling began when she was
making mud pies" at the Montesori
School some years ago. She subse-
quently attended the National Cathe-
dral School for Girls, where she
studied under Mrs. Lola Macdonald
Sleeth. In 1882 Miss Corby worked
under j. Maxwell Miller at the Cor
coran Art School, and the same year
spent several months in New York
City, studying under Hans Reiss at
the Reiss School.

began the following year, when her

covery Board in 1888. This figure was
reproduced on pin worn by men,
bers of the Junior N. r. A. of Massa-
chusetts. Two years ago Miss Corby
again worked on sculpture n New
York City for several months with
occasional criticism by Paul Manship.
Most Of her work to date has been
portraiture, for which she is well
equipped by her gift for achieving ex-
cellent Iikenesses of her sitters. Her
studio, incidentally, presents in inter-
esting study in ethnology, as she has
made portrait busts of persons of IL
different nationalities, and has kept
casts Of most of them. Among them
have been Capt. Berislav Angelina

slav Legation, DR.. Josef Nemecik,
Czechoslovak Legation; Edward Wein-
tai of the Polish Embassy, and H. M.
Van der Wyck of The Netherlands

necessity unsightly or repulsive crea-
lures. although many contemporary
painters seem to delight in so pictur-

does not need to be vulgar. Why
should ugliness and vulgarity be
Starkly represented pictorially for per-
petuation? But that is the tendency
of present day art, in painting and in
literature. 1t is perversion of hu-

much, have run their course through

the Fine Arts gave him its gold medal
of honor.
Of his art it has been said that
while Immediately concerned with
the local and individual, it also has to
do with beauty in the abstract and
with the relation of that which is
finite and temporary to that which is
universal and eternal. 1t is this uni
versatility of truth, in Connection with
the elemental, that gives to Walkers
paintings permanency of interest,
timelesSness. That this quality in his
work was derived from something in
himself we can easily believe. 1T
comes wrote c. c. Caf1n some years
ago, "of the large seriousness with
which he thinks and works, of the
true perspective through which he
views his subject, wherein facts and
sentiment take their relation to a dis

set forth in this exhibition are urban

exceptions. Here and there one comes
across a CLINT of humor. but not often,

not hold attention. 1t is the tradition
of beauty exemplifed in great works
of art that has attracted hordes of
travellers to Europe and still does. The
mundane, the commonplace, has no
power to stir the emotions.
Walkers ave Maria" in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art shows a French
Canadian farm boy pausing, on his
way home, at evening, to bow his
head in prayer before a roadside
crucifix. The sun has set and the
sky is Illuminated by the afterglow, a
glorious radiance. which gildS with
light the figure of the Savior on the

witnessed. would never be forgotten.
Mr.. Walker has preserved it for us
for all time. But this is not tale
which, once told, loses its meaning
There is always new meaning in this
painting. One stands before it in
reverence and delight. Never was an
afterglow more beautifully painted.
1t is not pigment, but the very es-
sence of light that the painter has

realism of a very high order. And

tribute in mute prayer-the figure on

matte is at no point overdone or too
much emphasized. To the contrary,
this picture is very quiet and full of
dignity 1t is gravely and very beau
tifully painted The Corcoran Gallery
is more than fortunate in its posses
sion.
ONE of the first paintings by Horatio
~ Walker to be shown in Washing
ton was "Oxen Drinking" which was
shown in an exhibition held under
the auspices Of the Society of WASH
irgton Artists in the hemicycle of the
Corcoran Gallery of Art more than 20
years ago. A yoke of oxen were pic
tured drinking from a trough beside
a well, their driver standing by to
the left, waiting for them to be
done. In the distance, across open
fields, one sees the houses Of a rural
settlement, the spire of a church. But
the sky is dramatically cloudswept; a
violent Summer storm seems immi-
nent. Some Of the same feeling that
is found in "Ave Maria" is here, but
on the whole the effect is more usual
and less impressive.
