lar manner. Also there are times
when Ones style changes. or ones
hand loses it's cunning; therefore,
this game of identification may not
prove as simple as it would seem.
Obviously, some Of the paintings
shown will literally shout the names
of the painters to those who are even
slightly acquainted with the produc-
ton of our American school, but
others will disclose, as it were, re-
luctantly, the name of their creator,
as he, himself, has used his art to
conceal his personality and effort.
1t is in any assemblage fairly easy to
identify a Whistler, but not so easy
to pick Sargent unless 1t is a work
in portraiture. So also 1t may at
times be difficult to distinguish be-
tween works by Duveneck and his
confrere, Currier, because they both
Wsre products of the Munich school.

lery of Washington exhibition re-
mains to be seen. The list, needless
TO say, will not be made public. Get
out your note books, your illustrated
histories of American art and test
your memories of works seen; but
do not be discouraged If you some
times make wrong surmise. 1t is an
-interesting, but not easy game.

tary Of the Senefelder Club and
his wife Ethel Gabain. each of
whom, despite many years Of work
ing together, has managed to retain
individuality of technique and out
look. Mr.. Copley started his career
as painter. but devotes most Of.
his time now to Autographs. His
prints reveal no hint of casualness
toward his chosen medium. Rather
there is strong feeling of sincerity
in the present show, particularly in
Jesus and john" rendering of
two nude figures which arrests the
attention. Miss Gabain shows an
exquisitely drawn portrait of a
Chinese woman.
Edmund Blampied, best known for
his etchings, reveals his mastery in
lithography in Hillside. Scotland"
About tWo-thirds of this print is a
great wind-blown sky. against which
is set steep hill with several farm
horses-favorite subjects of the ar
tist.
The present exhibition gives
comprehensive idea of the range Of
lthography, its opportunities for
different styles. viewpoints and sub
ject matter. More than half of the
prints are in two or more colors.
Perhaps the only aspects not ade-
quately represented here are those
OF the caricaturist and experimental
artist. A few prints mildly modern
istic include Hans Fibushs elon-
gated "Kneeling Man." Clarke Hut
tons "Circus Queens" impressions
istic in drawing and gaudy in
magenta and saffron skirts; M.
Kestelman's disconsolate Dorothy"
and r. Grimsham's Don Quixote,"
in which the caricatured handling
of the figures seems perfectly ap-
propriate. Satirical viewpoint is
expressed in James Boswell's "Mer-
rie England" transcription Of
dilapidated old farm buildings in a
driving rain.
Mother and Child"
In addition to portraits already
mentioned, there are two superb
works by James A. Grant. one a
carefully developed portrait of
Mother and Child" the other a
spirited sketch of boy.
"Old English Flower Prints"
familiar to Washingtonians chiefly
through Gordon Dunthorne's COL
lection, exhibitions and monumen-
tai book, have contemporary ex-
ponent in John Farleigh, whose
"Camellia" and "Fuchsia" in the
Senefelder show are executed with
precision and minute attention to
details of line and color.
Joan Bloxham's "Silhouette," a
tree in silvery grays. will remind
former visitors to the British capital
of her book, walks Around Old
London" in which she emphasizes
her descriptions of beauty spots and
architectural details with delicate
little sketches.
Architectural subjects, curiously
enough, are rare in the present
show, including only Mr.. Egerton's 8

dral," also in two colors, and w. p.

quired through the Clark fund for
the gallery's permanent collection.
IIe has attained to distinction both
as painter and sculptor. Randall
Davey is represented in the Cor
coran Gallery's permanent collec-
ton by a portrait of an "Old Sea
Captain" the gift of Mrs. Robert
E. Westcott. At the time it was
painted he had studio on Briars
Neck, Gloucester, but he is now liv-
ing and working in Santa Fe., N.
Mex. Davey was a pupil of Robert
Henri, and in his work reflects the
characteristics of the Henri school.
Jerry Farnsworth was a pupil of
Hawthorne, but studied at one
time in the Corcoran School of Art,
and married the very talented
daughter of Wells Sawyer, for many
years reckoneds among Washington
painters. Farnsworth is now Ma
tional Academician, has a school
of his own near ProvincetoWn and
has been the recipient of many hon.
ors. John C. Johansen is one of
our leading American portrait
painters and is, furthermore, repre-
sented In the leading American mu-
seums. The Corcoran Gallery owns
his painting of himself and his fam
ilv in their home; in the National
Art Collections are. in addition to

Jury's Choice Representative.
This jury met in Washington late
in February and made the following
selections: Paintings in oil. Mon
hegan Harbor.' by Paul Arlt (who,
by the way, recently won The Eve
ming Star prize of S100 for the best
painting in the Society of WASH
ington Artists annual exhibition;
Ranch House." by Robert Franklin
Gates: Girl in Red Bodice" by
Carlotta Gonzales MRS. Richard
Lahey); --latest News" by Carl
Nyquist; "Open Road" by Marjorie
Phillips, and Self Portrait" by
Eugen Weisz. Prints in various
media, "Transients," by Phyllis de
Lappe; "Steps-Taxco," by Olin
Dows, and Mems Gallery-United
States Senate" by Marguerite
Krumnl; sculpture, Paul Bunyan,"
by Carroll Barnes Qately shown in
the Museum of Modern Art Gallery
of Washington. carved in wood;
Seated Figure" by Daniel Olney,
and "St. Francis" by Fausta
Mengarini. OF the last three pos
sibly only one will be permitted. But,
in addition, each member of the
jury who is professional artist will
be allowed, In fact, is invited, to
show one work. This adds to our
representation three painters, two
sculptors and three print makers
Mr.. Cikovsy, however, being counted
twice, painter and printmaker.
How this scheme of regional rep
resentation will work out cannot be
estimated in advance. That it will
extend interest throughout the
country there is no doubt, but the
complexion of the show as whole
will obviously be that of the juries.
These, for the most part, are made
up of representatives of the So
called modern school," there being
just a sufficient sprirkling Of con-
servative members to dispel criticism
and give the impression of lberality.
But after all, the proportion is ap-
proximately that of current produc-
ton and display, and, therefore, by
no means unjust. If the "ayes" have
1t, the mays" must respectfully
step aside-at least temporarily un-
til they can recruit their forces.

Lithography in its non-commer-
cial aspect has been in the as
cendancy for the last decade or
longer. The medium has been taken
so warmly to the hearts of American
artists working in the contemporary
idiom that the public may forget
that it also has conservative ex-
ponents. In the front rank of these
are the English artist t-lithographers
who are members of the Senefelder
Club of London, founded 80 years
ago by four artists. including our
great American photographer and
etcher. Joseph Pennell, land named
for Alois Senefelder, German dis
coverer of lithography). An eX-
hibitior Of 81 Autographs by ap-
proximately 80 members of this club
was placed on exhibition last Mon
day in the Smithsonian Building
under the auspices of the Division
Of Graphic Arts, to remain until
March 26. This same club had an
other exhibition of Autographs here
about one year ago.
A sound requirement of the Sene-
fielder Club is that all Autographs
shown by the members must have
been printed as well as drawn by
the respective artists. Hence, IA
miliar with the medium in its en-
tirety, these artist-lithographers ex-
press themselves with assurance.
The visitor to the Smithsonian eX-
hibition may we'll be impressed
with the technical scope of lithog-
raphy. He will find here range
OF prints from those composed OF
striking contrasts in black and
white to those in silvery grays and
downy-soft tints of delicate colors
(lithotints).
Bones Work Outstanding.
One will also find a number of
names famous in contemporary
British art, not only for Autographs
but also for etchings and paint
ings. Foremost among them is Sir
Muirhead Bone, an example of Con-
temporary Scottish Painters now at
the Whyte Gallery. Two of his lith-
ographs include Midnight at Ven
ice," representing gondolas swarm
ing around a liner, with the figures
and boats Illuminated against a dark
background, while Carpet Porters,
Pera," depicts a daylight scene in
which the figures are silhouetted
against the street of steps. Both
prints are masterful, beautifully
composed, celan cut in technique,
striking in contrasts, but the Ven
ice" is the more vivid impression.
A. S. Hartrick, another of the
founders of the Senefelder Club, is
represented with two prints full OF
life and movement. There is a re-
markable sweep of air and space in
Man on the Hill" and a lively
sense of action in Three Rounds,
in which one boxer has the other
against the ropes. The tonal con-
trasts and sharp angles create ar
impression of movement. Mr.. Hart
rick once termed nthography the
"Cinderella of graphic arts"-but
surely he and other members Of
the Senefelder Club have played
Prince Charming" in showing he,
In all her finery."
Medium for Light Mood.
He also characterized lithography
as the perfect medium for a painter
to use in his lighter moments" But
the artists now exhibiting at the
Smithsonian have obviously giver
It very serious attention. Among
them are John Copley (first secre-
