The Death OF Tom BroWn a
Serious Loss.
NEWS of the death, in Williams
burg, Va. the first Of the past week,
of Tom Brown. Washington artist and
long associated with art activities in
this city, came as shock to his many
friends. 1t occurred after a few days
OF illness and occasioned real loss to
art in this city Mr.. Brown was a
member of the Society Of Washington
Artists, the Washington Water Color
Club and the Landscape Club and the
works he contributed to their annual
exhibitions invariably added interest
to the standard of merit. He had rare
talent and a gentle nature: the love-
illness Of the outdoor world made emo
tional appeal to him and his paint
ings, though reticent, were full Of
beauty. For some years Mr.. Brown
had been connected with the resto-
ration project in Williamsburg, but
he has never ceased to be q Wash
ington painter or broken his associ-
ations here. He studied at the Cor
coran School Of Art. in the Pennsyl-
vania Academy of the Fine Arts and
under w. Lester Stevens. Though
specializing in landscape painting, he
produced, within the past couple Of
years, q notable series of paintings

A few years ago Warrington was IN

New York. Not many years ago WASH
ington was the insular town, New York
the cosmopolitan city. Now that, too,
has changed.
Perhaps most significant Of this rad
ical and tremendously important shift
is the attitude Of newspaper men to-
ward New York and Washington as
signments.
Not long ago the goal Of almost every
newspaper mans ambition was to work
in New York. Surveys and conversa-
tions with newspaper men throughout
the country now show conclusively that
Washington is the new Mecca.

Palestine by Louisa Adams Cement-Thomas Handort


Enthusiastically, he remembers creat-
ing at the age of an entire series of
men and animals from another planet.
His formal training. begun In Sc
attic and Tacoma, was continued
(subject to the interruption OF war
training inevitable at that period in
New York and Provincetown under
such men as Hawthorne. painter, and
Mahonri Young, etcher Then came
Paris, with the Beaux Arts for winter
and, perhaps more important. long
summers in Brittany and Auvergne.
These whetted his appetite for strong
ly favored, individual human and
animal nature, and even at this period
he evinced the genius for expressive
design that nodded genre subjects.
In 1925 the wanderings became the
chief element, and the Paris studio
shrank from resident to a pied-a-
terre for brief visits. Three seasons
were spent in Northern Africa Q925-6
in Algeria, 1928 and again a part of
1929 in Morocco; two in the Ameri-
can Northwest Vancouver Island and
the other lesser island to the north),
one in Mexico 1890 and six in China
U93l-5 and 1860.
His practice has been to settle
down with house and a native serv-
ant and to see the country not as
tourist, but as a resident. His quar-
ters in an old palace in Peking be-
came a permanent home to which he
turned back with relief after trips to
Indo-China or Mongolia or briefer
vacations in the little fishing villages
or unspoiled nearer interior. He was
at home in the different groups Of
Peking society. the visiting literati,
the permanent foreign residents and
especially, through Chinese friends
and servants. with the various strata

pretations
From the African period came the
etchings that first secured him his
place among American printmakers.
OF the Northwest series, these were
studies of bleak and abrupt landscape
with swinging rivers and fantastic,
but accurately observed cliffs hung
with dark frs or of loggers or Indians
or the frolics of untamed horses. The
Chinese series, while losing nothing
Of its spontaneous gayety, and swift

the time Of John Adams have lived on
the shores Of the Potomac.
And it isn't alone because the reg
ular departments are in Washington,
although their expanding functions
have something to do with it.
Rather 1t is because every facet
of American life now is reflected in
the vast business transacted in the
city which originally was established
for the sole purpose Of serving as the
Capital Of the whole Nation.
The stock market is in New York,
yes. But the stock market Is regu-
lated from the Securities and Ex-
change Commission in Washington.
And in that single instance one has
the whole picture Of Washington's s
new importance.
THEY said q few years ago that
Washington was too insulated
from the rest Of the country to know
what really was going on in America.
That criticism is at least one brick
bat that isn't being thrown WASH
ington's way nowadays. It always was
true of New York, and still is, for that
matter. Not so Washington.
To Washington today come millions
of visitors annually, hundreds of
thousands Of them for the specific

and oflcials.

But with regard to Handforth's
work. More than any other he has
used simple line. recognizing its poten-
tial beauty and significance. Among
his earliest works, not included in the
present exhibition. is one of a goat
herd and her flock, so simple in rem
dering that it seems obvious and easy
but so enormously skillful that the
informed pause before it amazed. It
Is this ability to see clearly and inter-
pref in simplest terms with apparent
ease that has distinguished Hand
forths work from the beginning; to
which he now adds greater knowledge
as well as greater cunning.

THE reputation that the Arts
Club has acquired for unique

"HE reputation that the Arts
Club has acquired for unique
and interesting exhibitions is
4 strengthened by the two now
on view-"Sketches in Spain and
Palestine. by Louisa Adams Clement,
and Types Sketched In the Orient"
by Bertha Noyes The former occupy
the walls of the gallery; the latter
those OF the reception room, and,
therefore, come first to the visitors
attention.
To see Miss Noyes' portrait sketches
made on her recent trip to Bali and
Sumatra, after having attended the
recent Bal Boheme. is like the re-
versal Of the customary order of cause
and effect. for the beautiful Balinese
pageant set forth at the Bal this year
grew out of these very sketches now
on view in the Arts Club.
Miss Noyes was travelling, as the
guest of friends, with her sketch book
tucked away out of sight. until the
vessel on which they Travelled was
within but few days of its destina-
tion. Then some one. making the
discovery that she was an artist, sug-
gested that she sketch portraits of
some of the types among the crew.
With the captains consent and con-
nivance she proceeded to do this, and
the results were not only Immediately
pleasing, but had far-reaching result.
There is great charm as we'll as
merit to be found in these sketches
OF Oriental types, made in colored
pencils on paper. With remarkable
sympathy Miss Moves seems to have
grasped, on the instant, the character
istic of each one whom she portrayed.
Obviously, she shows herself to be an
accomplished craftsman; her line is
knowing as we'll as sensitive. She is
equally discriminating in what she
leaves unsaid as III what she says.
Most decorative undoubtedly is the

tractive and interesting are "Tibetan

lacked proper press facilities, suitable
inks, papers and the like. and had for
guide only an old Chinese commercial
photographer with immovable and not
overhelpful ideas. Yet his drawing,
with the broad sweeps Of tone, and its
variations from silvery to velvet black,
had always pointed to lithography, and
by 1894 he came into touch with Al
bert w. Barker, who supplied him with
papers and his own particularly sensi-
tive and flexible crayons with the
formulas for making them) and gave
him suggestions as to method. From
then on Handforth has expressed HIM

media. He has also. In the past year,
made experiments in aquatint, COM
bned with etching.

THIS would seem to be very COM

which Mrs. Whitmore has omitted.
One. the fact that during the first 10
years of his career he was so youthful

pains not to make his identity known.

Perhaps the most pronounced charac-
ter!stic of these drawings is that of
taste, which the artist possesses in
uncommonly large measure In short,
this is most engaging showing.
Sketches of Spain and Palestine.
A LSo unique in character are the
sketches made in Spain and Pal
estine by Miss Clement, which are
done with brush, largely in line
but partly in mass. in red-brown
water color on white paper. Miss
Clement has a formula for these quite
her own and one to which she may
cling too persistently. but studied sep
arately each work is found of interest.
Her broad views are a bit topograph-
acal, the map element is pronounced,
but this is along the line of modern
tendency. the elimination of unnec-
essary detail. 1t is not customary to-
day to embroider ones theme. News
paper headlines and a universal eag-
erness for haste have Well-nigh ban
1shed the tendency to linger over any,
thing. Whatever we have to say
must be said in the fewest possible
words. and these words must be as
3orceful as well-aimed blow, direct
from the shoulder. It is useless to at
tempt to quarrel with the tendencies
which reflect the time in which we
live. We may not always like them,
but If they are sincerely interpreted,
Is in this instance. they have signifi-
cance. More still. they belong" With
all Miss Clements simplicity and di-
rectness her pictures of Spain do
convey to the observer the feeling of
that sad country now torn asunder
by fruitless, wasteful warfare
Both of these exhibitions continue

"Handforth was born in Tacoma,

training suggested literary ability,
