Boswell will be exhibited at the re-
opening today of the Georgetown
Galleries In new and larger quar-
tiers at 1419 Twenty-second street

exhibition is made possible Through
the courtesy of the American So lon,

The paintings on exhibit include

The Whitney Museum Of Amer
lean Art, New York, which has BEEN
closed for several months during
alterations to its building, win re-
open at 1 pm. Wednesday.
Its opening exhibition, entitled
Twentieth Century Artists" will
comprise a selection of painting
water colors, sculpture, drawings and
prints from its permanent collection
The exhibition has been made pos
sible by structural alterations to the
building, which include four addl-
tional exhibition galleries. A neF
lighting system specially designed
for both daylight and artificial light
has also been installed.
In selecting Twentieth Century
Artists as the subject of its World
Fair exhibition, the museum believes
it is making contribution to and
supplementing the exhibitions illus
trating other periods In American
art shown during the Worlds Fair.
and, at the same time, presenting
the period most richly represented
In its own collection. The exhibi-
ton will include lib paintings, So
sculptures, 81 water colors, 20 draw
ings and 81 prints, presenting the
work of 1874 artists.

trated are too numerous to name
here, but among his distinguished
pupils are such well-known illustra-
tors of today as Thornton Oakley,
N. c. Wyeth and Frank E. Schoon-
over.
There were others in the 80s and
COS who likewise exerted wide inf1u-
ence as illustrators, both in the field
of art and upon the reading public.
Two names instantly come to mind
"A. B. Frost and Reginald Birch,
both of whom used line consistently
as we'll as constructive work. Frost
presented, in his illustrations, the
now much, but poorly, exploited
American scene" especially that in
the rural districts; Birch excelled In
his interpretations of child life.
which he set forth with telling en-
phasis and sympathy. Four women
illustrators should be recalled at this
point, Elizabeth Shipper Green,
Mary Wilson Preston, Jessie Wilcox
Smith and Violet Oakley, all of
whom knew how truly to illuminate
a theme and present it with artistry
Miss Oakley has extended her illus
trative work into the field of mural
painting and has made effective use
In conjunction Herewith of print
ing. The three others, however, held
to pure illustration and their works

Battle Scenes.
Among the many battle scenes
that Chapel painted may be mem
toned Battle of Miami" Battle
Between Constitution and the Guer-
riere," Battle of Tppecsnoe."
Massacre at Fort Mumms," Death
Of Major Ringgold," Battle of
Plattsburg," Battle of Cerro Gordo,"
Retreat of the British From Con-
cord" Surrender of Col. Rail-"
Massacre of Wyoming" Battle Of
Bunker Hill" "Storming of Stoney
Point" Battle of Eutaw Springs"
Siege of Charleston" Battle of
Monmouth" Battle of CowJens,"
Battle of Long Island" 'Lundys
Lane" and many others.
Chapel also made numerous
paintings Of famous foreign citizens
and historical events. He assisted
Felix o. c. barley in drawing the
illustrations for Shakespeare's Com
plete Works" edited by william
Cullen Bryant.
Chapel died on December 4, 1887,
and is buried in small cemetery
on the south side of the Presby-
terrain Church at Middletown, Long
Island.

w. T. Smedley, Arson Lowell and
many others.
Both Maxfield Parrish and Jules
Guerin did fascinating illustrative
work in color, the former chiefly for
childrens stories, the latter for books
of travel, in both instances making
generous contribution to the authors
theme.
Decorated Books.
And now we come to the decorated
book, which. perhaps, reached its
apogee at the hands of the Pre-
Raphaelite Brotherhood, so elabo-
rate in its way, however, that deco
ration essentially overweighted and
smothered text, yet also very fine.
Quite different in character is some
of the illumination being done to-
day, such as that of Marian Lane
of Washington or of the decoration
by the late Bertrand G. Goodhue,
architect, of church service books, an
Altar Book" printed by the Merry
mount Press and Book of Com
mon Prayer" printed by DeVinne.
This brings us back to our original
statement, quoted from Mr.. Weiten-
kampf, that a book is an entity,
made up of numerous units, each of
which falls within the field of art.
The fact that books designed by
Bruce Rogers, one of the greatest
typographers Of our day, are listed
in sales catalogues under his name
further confirms this statement. The
prevalence of the same custom con-
corning illustrators Gas well as au-
thors) goes far to attest the recog-
milton of illustration as an art In
itself.
1t is a pity that book illustration
was ever allowed to languish and
become disused, but the increasing
interest of publishers in this mat
ter today is an encouraging sign.
The Limited Editions Club and its
half brother, the Heritage Club,
have held several important compe-
titions from which illustrations for
books to be issued to members have
been chosen, and the Lakeside Press
of Chicago opened in June of the
current year, and is continuing
through September, a notable exhi-
bition of illustrated books of the past
two centuries. Gordon Grant and
Rockwell Kent have both done dis
tinguished illustrative work In the
last few years. So also has Thorn
ton Oakley. But 1t Is a fact that
these are the exception, not the rule.
In establishing the Cabinet of
American Illustration the Library OF
Congress has done much to empha-
size the art of illustration and to
re- establish appreciation. That all
these forces joined may re-create
demand Is not an unreasonable sup
position. More power to their
elbow" as the saying goes, and may
their tribe increase"

and this despite the fact that he
turned out more paintings than all
other American artists combined.
Born in 1888 Nhe exact date and
place unknown, he was considered
an artist Of talent and industry and
during his lifetime of a little over
81 years made more than 1000
paintings. Most Of his paintings
have disappeared, but few are
known to be in existence.
