Much interest is being shown In
the exhibition which the Miniature
Painters, Sculptors and Gravers
Society is holding in the atrium Of
the Corcoran Gallery. This exhi-
bition comprises no less than 126
"works-in- little" not only paintings,
sculpture and prints, but book bind
ings and illuminations.
The tiniest exhibits of all are an
etching by John Taylor Arms of
Chartres Cathedral and book con-
tanning four addresses by Abraham
Lincoln, bound by G. Albert Scheir-
er. Both exhibits are less than an
inch in length and in breadth. It
Is almost unbelievable that anything
so tiny could be produced in SEM.
blance of that which is gigantic, as,
for instance, the Cathedral of Char
tres, or as voluminous as appears
the Lincoln book. Here is crafts
manShip of a very expert order. In
both instances, the works are Curl
osities. It is almost by accident
that they are also works Of art.
There are, however, in this exhibi-
ton works in various media, which,
despite their small linear measure
ment, are big in artistic quality-so
big that one does not stop to con-
slider size in connection Herewith.
Two local painters are represented
in this exhibition, each by series
Of water-color paintings approxi-
mately by inches in dimension.
They are Elizabeth Muhlhofer,
whose contributions are still-life
subjects painted in the spirit of the
miniature, and Benson B. Moore,
who shows group Of paintings of
landscape and the sea, done with
the breadth and simplicity of works
many times their size.
1t is apparently quite possible to
produce an etching no larger than
the palm of a mans hand which
will encompass a great theme, and
there is surprising variety in the
works of this sort included in the
exhibition. Some are rendered solely
in line, others in full tones of light
and shadow.
There are excellent woOdblOck
prints, likewise, and large collec-
ton Of little works In sculpture,
many of which give indication, on

Howard University GoIIery.
Paintings by Three Artists Ar,
DisnInned


In the Howard University Art Gal
lery may now be seen an exhibition
Of paintings by three Negro artists
Of Philadelphia, all Of whom have
won wide recognition through the
excellence and sincerity Of their
work. They are Laura Wheeler
Waring. Allan Freelon and Samuel
Joseph Brown. The first OF these
studied at the Pennsylvania Acad-
enny Of the Fine Arts and early
made name for herself as an Illus
traitor, doing In black-and-white
some very sensitive and significant
drawings. She has since taught, but
at the same time, like all good art
lists, continued her own studies. OF
late she has specialized in portrait
ure, and she is best represented In
the current exhibition by sensitive
and well-considered portraits Of
Mary White Ovington and OF two
children, FRANKIE" and Susan, =
both rendered with directness.
The second, Allan Ereelon.. has
for some years been q teacher Of

offerings so critically as they might
under ordinary circumstances.
Yet, in justice to the more than
so artists (nearly all of them WASH
ingtonians) who contributed their
works, it should be mentioned that
the two exhibitions held through
out the days Of respective auc-
tions contained a very high pro-
portion Of excellent examples. There
were approximately 100 items. in
cluding oils, water colors, etchings,
drawings in pencil and pen-and-
ink, block prints, photographs and
sculpture. Between 30 and 40 items
sold at the first auction were re-
turned for resale to swell the pro-
ceeds. The character of the work
ranged from realism to abstraction,
from portraits which were Speak
ing likenesses" of the subjects to
non-objective painting. In sub
jects, too, there was extensive va
riety-portraits, architecture, flow
ers and still life, animals, street
scenes, river and harbor. and pic
lures Of places from Washington
to Finland. War Department ar
chitects set about IS items, and
Corcoran Gallery teachers and
alumni contributed an equal num-
ber.
Not only were the artists generous
In their contributions, they were
thoughtful in their selections. The
majority Of the works were decidedly
"livable," Attractive in color schemes
and composition, with engaging
matter, well calculated to appeal to
the public. One may mention that
among the many arresting oil paint
ings were Minor Jameson's large
canvas of a beautiful spring land
scape; Alice Acheson's Japanese
cherry trees around the Tidal Basin;
Mrs. Charles G. Abbot's Red Roses
and still-life. in subtle color har-
mony; Hattie Burdette's beautiful
still-life with white peonies; New
England Elms," by Jennie Calvert;
Oke Nordgren's study in blues, of
rowboats on a sandy beach. and

Bernice Cross whimsical Man
With an Accordion"
A portrait of the Minister from
Finland. painted by Violet Oakley
Of Philadelphia, was among the
most distinguished offerings. Fin
lands great composer, Sibelius, was
the subject of a life-size bust In
sculpture by Yucca Salamunich.
Bjorn Egei donated his handsome
portrait Of the late Speaker Of the
House of Representatives, Henry T.
Rainey; all who knew him must
have recognized it as an excellent
likeness. Mr.. Egeli also contributed
another beautifully rendered figure
painting with still-life.
Some of the graphic artists and
water -colorists gave as MANY as six
items. Benson B. Moore's color
etchings of birds and animals were
an outstanding group in the print
section. Margaret Yard Tyler's five
landscapes in water-c color were
clean-cut and colorful. Several
al UlStS OIL Lie obdT were IcpTCs
sented, among them Clifford and
James Bergman, with cartoons, and
Rowland Lyon. with two striking
block prints, one in black and the
other color. There was also one
engaging little work in ceramic
sculpture, Kathleen Wheeler's bird
dogs. Complete lists of, the artists
who contributed were published in
the papers during the week of the
auctions.
Artists are. quick to respond to ap-
peals such as that of the Finnish
Relief Fund. The papers have had
many notices lately of auction sales
of works Of art in many cities
throughout the country. One could
compile a concise history of the
tragedies of the past few years,
merely by mentioning the causes for
which art auctions were held:
Chinese children, Spanish civilians,
Spanish refugees in France, Jewish
and political refugees from Central
Europe, and many others.

art at what might certainly be
called popular prices. Apparently,
the fact has been discovered and is
appreciated, as there are more
sold" tags attached to these little
works than are usually seen In
.current exhibition. In fact, in every
instance when duplicates are OBJ
tainable. the space occupied by the
magic Sold" tags far exceeds that
OF the works purchased. Quite q
number Of the tags were placed be-
fore the exhibition opened, and
upon inquiry, it was learned that
the purchasers were members Of the
jury Of selection. It is q rare hap
pening-one worthy of record-when
artists, acting as judges, spontane-
ously become patrons. No finer
compliment to the exhibitors could
have been paid.
Inaugurates Collection.
Peculiarly appropriate Is the fact
that. while in the upper atrium OF
the Corcoran the Miniature Painters,
Sculptors and Gravers Society is
holding its exhibition, the gallery has
begun to assemble, as . part Of its
permanent collection, miniatures of
an exceptional standard. This begin
ming was made by the purchase OF
IL works, the majority Of which are
portraits, or portrait studies, on ivory
by well-known artists.
The works acquired are: Hide
garde Donaldson" by Margaret
Foote Hawley; Composite" by
Rosina Cox Boardman; Helen at
the "Harpischord," by Elsie Dodge
Pattee; Anne" by Maria Judson
Stream; Hubert Footner," by Mabel

Society of Washington Artists,
makes his debut as sculptor in this
exhibition, showing little figures of
Bear" Brown Elephant" and
a "Gray Elephant" Carroll Barnes,
who lately held SO successful an ex-
hibition of sculpture in stone and
wood at the Corcoran, has contrib
uted seven small pieces, such as
''Flamingo," "Pelicans," Buffalo
Calf" and pueblo Girl" Fausta
Mengarini shows works in pottery
and porcelain, which give further
indication of her unusual skill.
From Kathleen Wheeler have come
a variety of works in glazed pottery,
such as Fighting Cocks" South
Down RAM" "Foxhound," and
Boxer" Some of the little works
in sculpture are extremely modern
istic, but modernism seems more
suited to sculpture, for some reason,
than to painting-perhaps because
Of the materials with which the art
lists work.
Oddly enough, portraits in minia-.
ture are fewer in this exhibition
than works in other branches Of art,
but those shown uphold q very
high standard. Among the portrait
miniaturists making notable con-
tributions are Mary Elizabeth King,
Emma H. Ingersoll and Edith Hill.
Marian Lane shows not only adj
mirable book bindings tiny
"Bible" and a book of Quotations
From Sir Walter Scott" well de-
signed and executed-but also 4
number of fine illuminations, such
as an "Old English Prayer" Pray
er for q Church Porch" and Gar
dinal Newmans Prayer" now used
In churches Of all denominations.
Among the water colorists repre-
sented, in addition to those already
mentioned, are Susan B. Chase,
Pearl Potter Etz, Edith Hoyt, Eliza
beth E. Poe and Ruth Perkins SAT-
ford; while among the graphic art
lists making an especially good show
ing are Edwin G. Cassidy, Emma H.
Sherman Kagy, Wuanita Smith and
Minnie L. Briggs.
Practically all the works In this
exhibition are priced very low. Mr.
Arms little etchingx, unframed, can
be purchased for IS, whereas his,

rarely be acquired tor less than 10
times that amount. There IL q fasci-
