OF wild life at his best. In all of his
painting Liljefors is the artist-the
interpreter-as well as the lover of the
creatures of the wild, shy, shrinking.
yet paradoxically bold and assured.
In some way, possibly by direct ac-
qualntance, this painting savors of
:he art of the Orient-the paintings
by the master painters-who were also
poets-of China and in a later day
Japan. There are three other cam
vases by Liljefors in this exhibition.
Two OF which have come from the Zorn
collection--in fact, one of these Is
inscribed by painter to Mrs. Zorn.
Anders Zorn, outstanding artist of
our own day 1860 to 1920 Is repre-
sented by no less than IL paintings in
this collection, the majority Of which
have been drawn from the Zorn COL
lection at Mora, although the National
Museum and private collector have
also made contribution. Dance at
Gopsmor" and Music in the Cottage"
are characteristic examples Of his pic
lures OF peasant life-very vital and
engaging-the one full Of rhythmic
motion, the other featuring effects
produced by artificial light. As a
portrait, an outstanding example is
found in a standing figure of Coquelin
Cadet-a study in character of the
great French actor-very subtlely rem
dered. But, one asks oneself, Is the
glamor of Zorn as painter wearing
off? For surely these works do not
have the brilliance formerly associated
with the works of this modern master.
Has modern art. with all its positive
assertion and ugliness. blinded us to
the less obvious qualities of the art
once thought extreme? Or, after all,
is Zorn destined to live not through
his paintings. but his etchings, which
perhaps more truly evidence his
genius?

Mrs. Larz Anderson Adds
to Family's Generous
Aids for Worship.

7 EADERS of the National Cathedral
- Association who are participating
in the third annual membership and
maintenance effort for Washington
Cathedral were informed today that
six valuable Brussels Renaissance
tapestries have been presented by Mrs
Larz Anderson. and are now on dis
play in the Chapel of st. Mary and
adjoining portions of the Great Choir.
The Right Rev. James z. Freeman,
DID,, LID, Bishop of Washington,
invites all friends of the Cathedral
to inspect this newest addition to the
objects Of religious art and devotion
In the edifice on Mount Saint Alban.
Dating back to the 17th century,
the tapestries depict scenes In the
life of King David. Four Of them
have been hung in the Chapel of st.
Mary, which the late Larz Anderson
gave to the Cathedral, and in which
his ashes have found sepulture in a
Gothic wall tomb, recently unveiled.
The subjects of the tapestries are
as follows: David Before SAUL" 1.-THE
Challenge Of Goliath Of GATH" David
and Goliath in Combat" David Be-
heading Goliath" 1.-The Triumph of
David" and "The Madness of Saul"
Each tapestry is II feet inches in
height, and the width varies from 8
feet 9 inches to Is feet 10 inches.
THE Triumph of David shows
the youth in red jerkin carrying
Goliath's head and his huge sword.
David Is followed by the jealous Saul
in red corium armor and blue cloak
leading the Israelite soldiers. Israelite
maidens, playing sistrums and other
instruments, ere approaching David on

gregation Of these projects which,
gotten together by the architects
themselves, with official permission,
constitute the major portion Of the
current showing. The ground covered
Is extensive, the manner Of display
well adapted to the understanding
of the average visitor. There are,
for instance, models, drawings, per-
spective renderings and photographs
which anyone can comprehend with
out puzzlement.
Most impressive perhaps is the Sec

office Of the Veterans Administration
In which are included renderings of
hospitals and soldiers homes erected
in various parts Of the country-such
as Columbia, S. c.: San Francisco,
Calf: Tucson, N. Mex: Biloxi, Miss;

We say public" because in all mat
ters Of art the layman plays an i'm
portant role-he is, in fact, the silent
partner without whose cooperation
production would cease. Primarily art
is means of communication between
man and man. When those with
whom the artist would communicate

dences continued vitality-it is IRA
tional modernism-a false straining
for startling orginality-which marks
decadence. Even In the smaller Of the
buildings designed by the Federal
architects the better sort of modernism
is evident, and it is for this reason that
the present exhibition is found to give
reinsurance concerning current trends
Also it would seemingly refute the
statement made by Representative
Wearin in defense of his bill (H. r.
9528) requiring architectural competi-
tions for all large Federal building
projects, to the effect that public
architecture in this country Is In an
unhappy state" Here is factual evi-
dence to the contrary.
All this is. however. only incidental
to the exhibition which was set UP by
the architects themselves as a fraternal
report OF progress. Emphasizing this
intention is the fact that half the
hanging space has been given over to
the results of excursions taken by the
exhibitors during play hours into other
fields-water color painting, painting
in oils, drawing in pencil and pen and
ink, etching and other printmaking,
designing. lettering, and in the realm
Of photography. An expert and un-
biased jury, prior to the opening of
the exhibition, awarded honors to
various contributors. and red and gold
stars generously distributed give graft
tying evidence of judicial approval.
This exhibition will remain on view
throughout this month.
Work in Color
Especially Interesting.
STRANGELY enough. by far the
most interesting feature of this
exhibition is the work In color which
for the most part is sensitive in
handling and a step in advance. Some
Of the colored prints are very lovely
and at the same time distinctly in
dividualistic. And it is in color here
tofore that lthography has been most
misused, through commercial manipu-
lation, SO this achievement, set before
us by the Senefelders OF London,
should not only redown to their credit,
but debit other shortcomings.
OF course, both in black and white
and color there are prints which aim
toward abstraction and also toward
ultra and ugly realism-but these are
in the minority here. One pure alb
straction, Into q New World" by
Vincent Clarke. Is an exquisite inter-
probation Of "the stuff of which dreams
are made" rendered in color which
scintillates with light. Evidently it
can be done-there is abstract beauty
as well as ugliness.
British art has always been most
conservative. If therefore it can be
30 swayed by the winds which blow
across the fields Of modernism, no
wonder that We, in our newer land,
less bound by tradition, are tossed
about by them on . still rougher sea.

young and old, but throughout the
western world. In Larsson's works one
finds more than a touch Of that whim-
sicality which has given immortality

sicality which must have sprung orig
inally in the heart of a child. Cray
Fishing" Is an excellent example. Very
touching. however, are his portrait Of
his father and his own little son
Esbjorn: also the portrait Of his moth
er, and Of q young woman entitled
"Convalescence." In these works the
spirit Of Sweden again speaks and in
no uncertain terms.
It is pity that it was thought best
not to include in this exhibition ex-
amples OF the industrial art developed
by Sweden since 1900. for with them
the picture would have been complete.
This art, produced on a commercial
basis, for the people at large, artists
and manufacturers cooperating, Is dis
tinctly Of the present, but peculiarly
related to the art Of Sweden of the
earliest eras. 1t is gravely simple but
suitable and beautiful. 1t does not

Holbein, Van Dyck and Lely, 50 Swe-

In this art to artists from Germany
who crossed the sea and settled among
the Swedes. An excellent example is
q portrait of the Countess Beata de la
Gardie, by David Klucker Ehren-
strahl, who went from Hamburg to
Sweden in 1851 and remained there
until his death, in 1923. He it was who
