Mr.. Marin's painting, like Ger

or write a Stein essay and discover
the truth for oneself. Both Of these
modern artists have, as Royal Cortis-
sioz has aptly said, plowed their own
furrow and in their own particular
way. The reason they have no fol-
lowers Is that to follow Is impossible.
But, we may ask, as we have others
reasonably, to what does the furrow
lead? And the answer would seem
to be to nowhere Of importance.

virile and spirited-but either his ar
dor dies or his strength is not adequate
or his attention wavers, for never
does he seem to bring his interpre-
tation to full completion. His pic
lures are pictorial flashes Of thought
and of feeling, but that is all of the
substance, perhaps, of the elemental,
but by no means universal. The re-
markable thing Is that they have been
taken so seriously. The enormous
vogue they have attained is no less
phenomenal than the works them
selves. The question is, will 1t en-
dure. That Is q question applicable
to all contemporary effort, and un-
answerable.
The exhibition at Studio House,
which opened on Wednesday afternoon
with private view will continue
through February 81. The week day
hours are from 10 o'clock in the morn
ing to $50 o'clock in the afternoon,
besides which the gallery will be open
to the public on Sunday afternoons

THE "Sesquicentennial Congress"
Senator Joseph T. Robinson un-
officially designated the Seventy-fifth
Congress, in a chat with the press a
short time ago. He then pointed out
that rs Congresses, with two sessions
each, makes this present term the
celebration Of practically $50 years of
legislative government since the begin
ming of the democracy.
Naturally enough, such observation
leads to "reminiscences and review. In
these $50 years what has the Congress
of the United States of America ac-
complished? What has been its out
standing legislative effort and achieve
ment? Who of its distinguished men,
bers have shone forth through the
years because of their fine characters,
their historic influence or their genius
for government? How has the Con-
gress changed in these $50 years?
What subtle differences have affected
its quality or flavor? In short, look
ing back upon this body from the
vantage point of its 150th session, what
has the Congress been like?
The records Of these $50 congress
sional sessions have filled volumes. No
more than general picture, attempt
ing to impart an impression that will
be typical, can be given here. Imme-
diately, certain names shine out in
our own times and likewise highlight
any review Of the past. Garner, Rob-
inson, Sheppard. Norris, Glass: and
inevitably associated-Smoot, Hawley;
Fordney, McCumber: Payne, Aldrich;
Daniel, Warren. Allison, Morrill,, Clay,
Webster. are only a few of the many
that come most readily to mind. The
roster, however. is long and distin-
guished one and prompts the reviewer

John Marin Exhibition at Studio
House Ar0uSeS Discussion.
THE name of John Marin has been
one to conjure with in the art
world for good many years. No ones
work has been more discussed and
written about than his. There are
those who consider him one of the
great geniuses of the age, and others
to whom his paintings are but mean
ingless folly. Studio House. through
the cooperation of Mr.. Marin and AL
fred Stieglitz, is giving Washingto-
mans opportunity to judge for them
selves by putting on an exhibition of
paintings in oil and water color and of
etchings by this controversial con-
temporary artist, who, despite his pro-
nounced individuality and remarkable
acclaim. has few followers and no dis
ciples-in other words, has, for more
than a quarter of century, stood and
today still stands alone.
Almost all of those who have writ
ten about John Marin's work empha-
size the element Of conflict in 1t. What
ever he paints-islands off the coast
of Maine. mountains in New Mexico, a
quiet beach or teeming city-is, We
are given to understand, to indicate
opposing forces-the sea encroaching
upon the land, the elements destroy
ing the works Of nature, life violently
swirling around that titanic creation
of man, the modern city. Receiving
the impression visually, he registers 1t
directly and within the scope of a
glance, and in order to focus the vision
he is won't roughly to mark of its
boundaries within circumscribed limits
Mr.. Marin does not attempt to be rep
resentative. He does not paint what
he sees, but the impressions so OBJ
tanned and evoked. His paintings are
series of such impressions, fastened
roughly and very sketchily to paper,
never carried beyond vague imagery,
always fragmentary.
To the uninitiated, Marin's water
colors have the appearance Of child
play-crude, immature blobs of color
carelessly combined. But to those who

corded the design and its execution.
