THE Corcoran Gallery Of Art has at
this same time placed on exhibi-
ton collection of drawings by Henry
Lee McFee. consisting of life-size heads
done as studies in portraiture, land
scapes and leaves. In general charac-
ter very like Mr.. McFees paintings,
these drawings will be found of especial
interest to students and those inter-
ested particularly in techniques. They
would seem to be done in charcoal or
light crayon and which is rather
remarkable. are croSshatched, as were
the old crayon portrait drawings. The
line is fine. but rather monotonous
tone is maintained-there are no
strong accents Of light or dark Also
there is little unity in the compost
tions-they seem rather to have hap
pened than to have been arranged
Mr. McFee was born in St. Louis,
Mo. in 1886. studied one year at the
Stevenson Art School. Pittsburgh, and
two summers at the Art Students
League School of landscape painting
at Woodstock. N. Y. 1t is at Wood
