Corcoron Gallery

Cdtatofntn Water Color Society
Makes Poor Shouting.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art is
showing. at present and until June
7 an exhibition sent out by the
California Water Color Society of
works by its members. There are
80 paintings by 80 artists, matted
but not framed, and to their dis
play the gallery of special exhibi-
tions has been Hospitality assigned.
Included in the collection are works
by Paul Sample, Millard Sheets, Lee
Blair and Milford Zornes, all of
whom have attained enviable rep
utations and with whom, creditably
represented, are Henri de Kruif,
Emil Rosa, jr.; Ben Norris, James
Patrick and Arthur Riley. OF the
contributions by other exhibiting
members little can be said in praise
or extenuation.
What has come over the painters
OF California and why should any
organization send out such a de-
pressingly poor show? Not only is
the work inferior technically but the
subjects chosen for presentation are
in many instances hideous. What
possible allure can there be in such
to a genuine artist? California is
famed for beauty; why then have
her artists hunted out not merely

original marble bust, of which this
is a copy, is a memorial to him, in
Leeds.
Those who are acquainted with
the Presidents daughter may judge
for themselves as to the fidelity
of Miss Blundell's portrait of her,
which was made seven years ago.
It's pose seems more characteristic
than its expression.
Children's faces must be far more
difficult for sculptor as revelations
of individuality, than the faces Of
adults, since the former are gener-
ally soft, rounded. "boneless" in ap-
pearance. Nevertheless, Miss Blum
dell seems to have achieved differ
entiations of personality in her
several childrens portraits. One of
them is Anton Holman. an appeal
ing curly-headed lad who must now
be young man in his teens. Little
Louise" a Negress, is particularly
happy capture.
The artist, native of the Isle
OF Wight, studied sculpture in Lon
don under Gilbert Bayes and AL
bert loft; she began at the age of
10 to show her sculpture in exhibi-
tions at the Royal Academy. She
first came to the United States in
1927 and has made New York City
her place of residence to a large ex-
tent since that year. Her first "one-
man" exhibitions were held there.
Animals were Miss Blundells first
subjects in sculpture; this phase Of
her work is represented in the Arts
Club show, by the small Proving
Tiger" and a number of birds; also
a fish fountain, which is the most
consciously decorative piece on ex-
hibition. She now makes figures,
several of which are on view:
Singing st. Francis" Negro Beg
gar" "Javanese Drummer" and
several others. However. the pro-

record beauty even in the common

The art of California should not
be judged, furthermore, by this par
ticular exhibition. There are many
California painters who are not rep
resented here-men and women who
have vision and the power to find
clear and significant expression. In
deed the role Of honor is exception
ally long, embracing painters in oils
as well as water colors. sculptors and
graphic artists, makers of etchings
and wood block prints of almost un-
rivaled merit and charm-to say
nothing of the outstanding work of

ual refreshment and renewal is closed
to thirsty people. But it will not
stay closed-there have been dark
ages before cut of which has come
the dawn of new day. The spark
may become very dim, but it is not
extinguished. That this is the case is
witnessed in this current exhibition
by such paintings as Fog Bound

fortunate artists who has not had to
wait for acclaim until too late to
enjoy 1t. His first plate was made
IN 1902 when he was only 10 years
OF age; his first exhibition was held
IN London in 1911. Today ne is
ranked with the greatest etchers of
all time and in the auction room
hne impressions of some of his most
famous plates, such as ''Dawn-the
Camel Patrol" fetch as much as
$1,000. 1t is interesting to know
that he is entirely self-taught and
his technique evolved to suit his own
requirements. Scottish by birth his
boyhood days we're spent in the fish,
Ing village of Newburgh, Scotland
He have up clerical position in a
bank in Aberdeen to travel-in-
cidentally taking his sketch book
with him. 1t would almost seem as
though fate guiding his steps had
made him an etcher, rather than
personal generalization. If so it was
fate both kindly and discrim-
mating. During the World War he
served as official artist in the British
Army and in the line of duty visited
Egypt, Palestine and other countries.
He has always shown liking for
open spaces, the lowlands such as he
found in Aberdeenshire and Holland.
Undoubtedly it was for this reason
that he chose to picture Manhattan
across the wide reaches of the East
River.
1t is interesting to know that this
skillful and accomplished etcher
prints himself every proof that he
signs, to which may be in part
ascribed the uniformly high quality
of each impression. In other words
McBey recognizes, notwithstanding
his genius and good luck, that the
production of work of art involves
infiite painstaking, and he does not
begrudge it. Only thus are works of
lasting merit created. But how en-
couraging to know that even in this
day of haste and carelessness such
devotion 70 the ideal of the perfect
actually brings reward!

American College Society of Print

issued the nineteenth of its series of
medals. This is the work of Ed
ward McCartan. national acade-
mician. member of the National
Sculpture Society, Architectural
League of New York and Beaux Arts
Institute. 1t represents the differ
ence between life in the "Old World"
and the New World" in this year
OF grace, 1899. Let the sculptor tell
his own story. THE broad Atlantic
Ocean fortunately" he says. "iso-
lates us from forces which destroy
life and liberty and which impede
the normal pursuit of happiness. I
have attempted to portray the posi-
ton OF the American homemaker
contrasted with her European sis
ter who lives from day to day par
alyzed by fear and hate and regi-
mentation. The four horsemen of
the Apocalypse-Pestilence, Death,
Famine, WARFARE riding high
across the Eastern Hemisphere"
On both the diverse and the re-
verse Mr.. McCartan has represented
young mother and child-but how
dlf1erent the attitude and feeling!
Surely this work is timely and
should bring to all sense of what
privileges we, as Americans, enioy.
But, aside from the subjective, the
artistic quality of the design and
rendition of this medal is great. The
hgures are we'll placed and very
charmlngly modelled. AS Royal Cor
tissoz has said of the work of this
sculptor: Throughout you feel his
reserve, his selective taste. that same
handling of form which belongs to
the cool, fastidious, calculating
Houdon."
Mr.. McCartan is not only we'll
schooled but has had the incalcu-
liable advantage of working under
Herbert Adams, Hermon MacNeil
and George Grey Barnard, all of
whom were calculated to inspire.

The art of the medalist is of ne
cessity subtle, but may attain to
very great heights. It was to in
crease interest and appreciation of
1t among laymen that the Society
OF Medalists was formed and two
medals a year issued to members.
Among the sculptors represented in
the series are Macmonnies. Herbert

John Taylor Arms Publishes
NeD Work.
In this connection mention may
also be made Of the announcement
within the past fortnight of a new
and important etching by John
Taylor Arms of the porch Of Charles
Cathedral with its elaborate Gothic
carving. 1t is entitled I'm Memoir
iam," and was conceived by the
etcher year ago at Easter and has
taken him almost IL months to COM
plete. Not only is it his most elo-
quent tribute to the glory of Gothic
architecture but in the opinion of
those most competent to Judge his
crowning achievement as an etcher.
Print collectors and lovers will find
in this very good news for Mr.. Arms,
by birth a Washingtonian, as an
Interpreter of the Gothic and an
etcher of supreme skill ranks fore
