Rare Talent OF Mary Riley EDi-

denced.
The Memorial Exhibition of oil
paintings and water colors by Mary
G. Riley which opened a week ago
in the Arts Club to continue to May
S manifests, beyond dispute or ques-
ton, the painters rare talent and
real distinction. Despite the fact
that Miss Riley had exhibited here
In the Corcoran Gallery Of Art as
well as IN New York and had con-
tributed works to local shows from
time to time over a considerable
period, few were prepared to find
her work in the aggregate so rich
in artistic quality and so capable
in execution. 1t was partly due
to the artists own modesty that
50 comprehensive a collection Of her
paintings in oil had not been dis
played previously. 1t is in this
medium that she is at her best,
although her water colors are ex-
cellent and have a character all
their own. But her oil paintings go
beyond this, adding to 1t the assur-
ance of one who speaks with author
ity. Her technique is extraordinary;
her canvases are loaded with pig
ment, but her color is very clean
and clear, and the palette" she used
very simple.
The majority of her out-of-door
paintings are, 1t is seen. simplified
to the utmost, but not with loss Of
effect nor appearance Of forcing.
Furthermore her compositions are
very good. The pictures she sets

In addition to the special exhibi-

under the auspices of the Worlds
Fair of New York, there will be more
than 20 small exhibits or art, ancient
and contemporary, arranged by as
many Of the nations that have build
ings of their own or space allotments.
1t was, incidentally, part of such ex-
hibits intended for the French and
Chinese concessions, that met with
damage or loss on the Paris.
Polish Art Exhibition
To Be Outstanding.
The exhibition of Polish art In
the Polish pavilion will be specif1-
cally notable, comprising paintings,
sculpture, the graphic arts, folk art
and contemporary achievement. In
cluded among the paintings will be
a series representing important epi-
sodes in the history of Poland. pro-
duced by members of the st. Luke's
Fraternity, group of II artists
bound only by ties Of comradeship
and long collaboration and vowed
to paint as we'll as they possibly
can. Each painting they produce is
group production. Outstanding IN
this historical series is picture
of a meeting between Boleslaw the
Valiant, King of Poland, and Otton
III, Emperor of Germany. in the
year 1000 A. D.
This has almost primitive feel

first of these was Water Lily Baby"
which won honorable mention in

Chicago in 1917; Sea Horse Sun

awarded the Barnett prize at the

Later came "Child in the Vine

which found its way, in bronze, into
the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts;
"Puck" for the Folger Shakespeare

beautiful outdoor sculpture museum

Mrs. Eliot O'Hara, when only 3

trait bust Of Amelia Earhart done
shortly before her last tragic flight.
Miss Putnam studied first under
Bella Pratt in Boston and then under
James Earle Fraser and Charles
Crafty. About 1927 she spent
some time in Florence and worked
with Libero Andreotti. She has not
spared effort to bring her art to a
high plane nor has she begrudged
labor incident to the acquisition of
mastery of medium. Her portrait
OF Casals, her Puck" and now her
Swimmer" each mark epochs in
the development of her art. The
first witnesses to power of interpre-
tation as well as subtlety in touch;
the second to ability to use the new
modern idiom without discarding
tradition; the third and latest to
mastery not merely of medium but
OF self, the evoking Of power which

scum to Be Erected at ProU-
incetoun.
The Provincetown Art Association
proposes to erect and maintain on
its own grounds a museum of art
which shall serve as a permanent
memorial to Charles w. Hawthorne,
who. in 1899, founded the Cape Cod
Art School, one of the first, II not
the first, outdoor school of figure
painting, and did much to raise
the standard Of American art, both
through his own distinguished work
and his capable teaching. The prof.
ect has the approval of artists and
art lovers throughout the country
and the $4,000 required for build
ing and maintenance should be
forthcoming.
Among those in Washington who,
through approval. sponsor the un-
dertaking Is c. Powell Minnigerode,
director of the Corcoran Gallery of
Art. Through the cooperation of
Mr.. Hawthorne's former students, a
little book Of notes jotted down by
Mrs. Hawthorne during his classes
was published year ago under the
title Hawthorne on Painting" This
alone gives sufficient evidence Of
the contribution which Mr.. Haw-
thorne made and his right to be
memorialiZed.

which, roughly speaking, Is not un-
like that employed in the graphic
arts-areas being blocked out by wax
and the colorful composition being
developed from light to dark. The
result has the appearance of utmost
simplicity-in fact, ease in execu-
tion-but so 1t Is with all art fully
mastered. There is no possibility for
error, inasmuch as correction is vir-
tually out of the question. Here
again, in such skillful use of diff
cult medium as Lydia Bush Brown

That one OF the sculptures COM
missioned and executed for this
fair is by a sculptor associated by
close ties with Washington is a
matter of great satisfaction. This
Is Brenda Putnam, daughter OF the
librarian Of Congress, and repre-
sented here in Washington by her
figure of Puck" in the grounds of
the Folger Shakespeare Memorial
and also by her portrait bust Of
her father lately presented by his
associates to the Library OF Con-
gress.
The figure that Miss Putnam has
modelled for the fair is Of SWIM
mer surmounting the crest of a
great wave. 1t Is full Of action but
in no sense restless. The lines of
the strong body flow rhythmically
following, as If 1t were, those of the
great billow which likewise surges
forward. The head Is thrown back,
the left arm outstretched-a daring
theme, boldly but very successfully
handled. Entitled The Crest" this
figure has been given placement in,
or more properly, was designed for
the still pool in the inner court of
the Consumers Building on Consti-
tuition Mall near the Theme Center,
the chief focal point of the fair. 1t
Is much more than life size zap
proximately feet in lengthD but
not as colossal as many of the
sculptures used for the adornment
Of the buildings.
Works Testify to
Successful Career.
Miss Putnam began exhibiting in
1910 showing first work entitled
Music, lie Luther de Cremone,"
which reminds one of the fact
that in her student days she had
difficulty in deciding whether it
should be to sculpture or music
that she would give herself COM
pletely. This perhaps explains the
exceptional sympathy and under
standing with which she has model
ed portraits of such distinguished
musicians as Ossip Gabrilowitsch,
Pablo Casals, Harold Bauer and
others.
A bronze relief Of Forbes Robert
son as Hamlet, exhibited in 1914,
toreshadowed in Its excellence and
feeling her later successful achieve
ments in the field Of portraiture.
Then, in gleeful but orderly pro-
Gession, there came from her studio
during decade or more series
of children done as fountain or
