Ward Lockwood, made for the
Photo by Courtesy of the TIT
by students in 10 universities and
schools throughout the country. It
comprises almost entirely works done
during the current year and Is far
and away the best that has as yet
been shown here. The institutions
represented are the School of the
Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston; the Free
School of the National Academy of
Design, New York; the Moore Insti-
tute of Philadelphia, the Carnegie In
stitute, Pittsburgh; the Corcoran
School Of Art in this city and the
art departments Of the following uni
versities: Ohio State. Northwestern,
Iowa State, Washington State and
University of California OF these the
contribution made collectively and re-
spectively by the Moore Institute and
the Ohio State College are most out
standing numerically and in the mat
ter of merit, but little less notable
are the contributions made by the
Corcoran School of Art and the
schools Of the Museum Of Fine Arts,
Boston, and the National Academy OF
Design, New York
The works displayed run the gamut
from extreme post-impressionism and
sur-realism to the academic and
frankly traditional-but in all the
canvases there is evidence Of freedom
in Interpretation and freshness of vi
sion which is highly commendable.
The work from the Carnegie Institute
shows distinctly the influence of the
foreign works shown year by year in
the international exhibitions. In the
work from the Boston Museum School
may still be traced here and there
the elements Of the teaching of Tar
bell and De Camp, long since ended.
From Ohio State College have come
two studies Of nudes by two students,
which are outstanding-broadly and
beautifully painted, splendid in color
and amazingly cleverly handled-one
by Jean Craig. the other by Dorothea
Marlor-both brilliant achievements.
In addition to figure studies, ca
pably presented, and some very ex-
cellent still life, there are a few sub
ject pictures especially worthy Of
notice-one essentially humorous, en-
titled Seminar Problem on Giotto,"
which pictures in Giottoesque style
II football players being harangued
by grave and elderly coach re-
sembling monk. There is also an
illustrative painting of the landing
OF a sailing packet in 1910, which
shows a throng Of people on a wharf
to which the vessel has tied up. Ex-
ceptionally good and interesting are
a number of still life studies-one
especially charming in color as we'll
as treatment by Vita Tretrosky of
the Moore Institute, another merely
entitled Still Life" jars and other
objects, by Kathleen Williams of the
Ohio State College, and third, some
what similar in theme, but diversely
treated and with no less skill by For
rest Cromwell Of the Corcoran School
Of Art. Other students Of the Cor
coran School represented and we'll are
Donald Robertson, Barbara Osborn,
Eli Luria, Kelsey Y. Saint, Daniel
Cox. Muriel Austin, Eleanor Drown
and Ruby Schuler Toy. OF these
the last three exhibit works in sculp-
ture-Miss Austin, a well-modeled
head of young girl; Miss Drown, a
head Of an elderly Negro man very
skillfully handled, and Mrs. Toy a
head and torso set forth with rather
archaic simplicity. If general trends
can be correctly read through the
medium Of this exhibition, they may
be thought to be back to sanity and
good painting.

ton Announced BY Corcordn
Gallery OF Art.

hensively the field of oil painting as

ton which has ever been presented;

keep it in mind with a view to sub
mittdng to the jury of selection their
strongest and most recent work.
