Children at
Chalet NonporeiI

Children's paintings and drawings
and expressions in other art media,
are important primarily as revela.
tons of the children's personalities,
thoughts, interests and aspirations,
assuming, of course, that the chill
dren have been free to choose their
subjects. The fact has again been
demonstrated during the past fort
night at Chalet Nonpareil Art GAL
lery in Bethesda, where an exhibi.
ton of 30 paintings and half as
many pieces of sculpture in pottery
and papier mache, by a group Of
boys and girls taught by Alexander
Clayton, has just made way for an
exhibition by the instructor. OPEN
ing today. Eight children were rep.
resented; their ages from 10 to IA.
Mr.. Clayton had permitted them to
paint what they liked from memory
or imagination; but once they were
involved in their chosen work, he of.
fered criticisms and suggestions,
gave simple talks on composition
and color.

Phillips Gallery Shows Works
OF School Alumni Which
Have Won Distinction

An exhibition of paintings by
alumni of the Phillips Gallery School
is at the present time, and until Nov
ember 4, OCCUPYING the Prints Rooms
of the Phillips Memorial Gallery.
The Is or 26 works set forth were
selected because of having won
awards in public exhibitions or COM
petitions or for having found their
way into public or private collections.
With this fact in mind, it is dificult
to decide which is more responsible
for the immature art of today that
floods our exhibitions, the artist
producers or those who, desiring to
give encouragement, dole out awards
and commissions without regard to
gift or fitness.
That there is clever and promising
work in this current exhibition none
will gainsay, but that much of it is
immature, clumsy and distinctly un-
lettered any one familiar with the
best must realize. No one can paint
who cannot draw, for drawing is
fundamental and essential, and even
those endowed with genius must sub
nit themselves to the discipline of
learning this art. Once learned, it
may be forgotten, but that is very
different matter from ignorance.
Especially in this particular do the
landscape painters who are repre-
sented in this exhibition err. Nature
is beautiful-why, therefore, distort
it?
After Creation, we are told, the
Creator looked upon the world and
found it good-but not so the young
landscape painters Of today, who,
with fear Of imitation, uglify it to
the last degree, which to those who
turn to Nature for inspiration is lit
tie short Of desecration. Some one
has suggested that the reason for
much of the unbaked art of todAy

Water CoIors and Monotypes
By Maurice Prendergost
Now on View

At the same time, on October 16,
the first of the seasons special ex-
hibitions in the Corcoran Gallery
of Art was installed in cases in the
upper atrium and opened to the
public. This consists of water colors
and monotypes by Maurice B. Prem
dergast, born in Boston in 1859 and
died in New York in 1924. The Cor
coran Gallery has, upon a previous
occasion, shown monotypes by this
artist; therefore, the current show
ing lays special emphasis upon his
water colors, of which no less than
10, in panels of three, are set forth.
Prendergast studied under famous
masters in the Julian Academy,
Paris land, by the way, does not
seem to have suffered loss Of origi-
nality thereby; his works, there
fore, have, as it were, background
of tradition-but in his travels
abroad he saw with his own eyes
and painted as he himself chose on
the moment. At one time or an
other, he lived in Venice, and 1t
was there that many of the water
colors now on view were made. OF
all the cities Of Europe, this city
Bride Of the Sea"-has been most
beloved and transcribed by artists
until one would suppose its pictorial
potentialities would long since have
been exhausted. Not 80; along comes
