Changes in Directorships

There has been quite recently,
great shifting about of art museum
directors. Only last week it was an
nounced that Francis H. Taylor, di-
rector of the Art Museum at Wor-
cester, Mass, had been appointed
director of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, New York, to fill the vacancy
occasioned last summer by the resig-
nation Of Herbert Winlock, on &C
count of i'll health. At the same time
announcement was made that
Charles H. Sawyer, for some years
curator of the Addison Gallery of
American Art at Phillips Academy,
Andover, would succeed Mr.. Taylor
at Worcester. Meanwhile, Roland
j. Mckinney, formerly director of
the Baltimore Museum, has become
director of the Los Angeles Museum,
and Leslie Cheek, jr., head of the
art department and exhibitions at
William and Mary College, Williams
burg, Va, has taken his place in
Baltimore. Last fall Meyric r.
Rogers, for many years director of
the City Art Museum, st. Louis, re-
signed to accept departmental posi-
ton in the Art Institute of Chicago.
There is an old saying to the effect
that change about is fair play"
which may apply in these instances,
but after all what about new blood,
or better still, promotion?

Scott & Towles of New York and
now in their possession.
This picture was painted by Whis-
tier, when he was "a years of age,
in the London home of Seymour
Haden, famous surgeon and etcher,
the husband Of his half-sister, De-
borah Delano Whistler. It shows
Mrs. afterwards Lady, Haden in a
black dress with narrow white COL
lar, seated at the piano and, facing
her, Annie Haden, her little daugh-
ter, in white dress and stockings,
standing in the curve of the instru-
ment and leaning her arms upon it.
Under the piano are the green
cases of a violin and violoncello, and
above, on the white wall, are the
lower edges Of large prints in heavy
gold frames Behind the player Is a
round table covered with q red
cloth upon which is a majolica dish,
and on the floor is red carpet.
The date of this painting, which is
signed u. Whistler" was 1859, at
which time Whistler was living in
Paris and much under the influence
of Fantin-Latour. It was done on q
visit to the Seymour Hadens, with
the intention Of display in the sa-
Ion, to which 1t was offered and by
which rejected. The following year,
however, it was accepted by the
jury OF the Royal Academy, Lon
don, and hung ION the line," at
tracing much favorable attention.
Accepted and shown by the Paris
Salon of 1857, it has been universally
acclaimed by critics one of Whistler's
best works.
It was first purchased by John
Phillip, Royal Academician, who
saw it in the academy exhibition Of
1850, upon his return from Spain,
and, much taken by it, wrote the
then unknown young artists that he

scribed with dencacy Of touch and
feeling. There are several examples
of Mary Cassatt's inimitable etch-
ings Of children, and with them a
number of portrait etchings by j.
Alden Weir, which in comparison
seem little commonplace, though
rendered with great sincerity. Ernest
Haskell's beautiful etching Of trees:
eel Toro," masterpiece which
every collector covets, is here, with
which, meriting mention, are two
excellent etchings Of juniper trees
by Helen A. Loggie Of Washington
State, whose work was shown for the
first time in the East very few
years ago at an exhibition held in
New York by the Society Of Ameri-
can Etchers. There are two very
charming etchings of trees by Ben
jamin Brown of California. from
which State has also come an etch-
ing of trees, boldly rendered, by Roi
Partridge. Hutty is seen at his best
in an etching entitled, "The Deep
South" two Negroes walking along
a road bordered by live oak trees.
Martin Lewis is thrice represented
by dry points of commonplace sub
jects which, dramatized by artificial
light in the midst of nocturnal dark
ness, take on q peculiar picturesque
ness and sound reality. Abbo Os-
trowsky has to his credit q very
remarkable etching Of q street ex-
cavation at Radio City which is 8
triumphant piece Of craftsmanship,
and also by a spacious and lovely
landscape entitled Pennsylvania
Farm" Charles Woodbury's Tide
Rip-Portsmouth," and Sears Gal
lagher's Children On a Beach" both
sustain regulations of the highest
standing, while among the outstand-
ing landscapes are "Driftway," a
winter snow scene by Kerr Eby, and
wilton Farm" by Chauncey Ryder.
Among the lithographers, Wengen-
roth is seen at his best in Deep
Forest" Northern Coast" surf on
the rocks; Quarry" Days End"
and Moonlight" Several works by
Albert w. Barker are included, but
none of which come up to his litho-
graphs made earlier and presum-
ably included already in the Lii
brary's collection when these pur-
chases were made.
Thomas Mason has done much to
revive interest in wood engraving
and some excellent examples of his
works in this medium have been
acquired. These are landscapes,

Nearly so drawings, etchings,
Autographs and wood cuts would
appear to give a comprehensive
view of Miss Kohn's capabilities.
Her expressive and flexible linear
technique enables her to run a
gamut from exquisitely etched por-
traits somewhat remisiniscent of
those by her compatriot, Emil Orlik,
to social subjects deliberately dis
torted to the point of giving the
figures extremely awkward appear

to emphasize deleterious character

as utilizing q "scribble" technique
in her etching "The Drunken Peo-
pie" Through exaggerating certain
lines in the etching Rest" she
calls the observers attention to the
fatigue Of three heavy peasant
women; the work-worn slump Of
"The Helpless Man" reminds one
Of a little etching by Van Gocn
on a similar subject.
Social Subjects.
More than half of the works in
the exhibition deal with social
themes: Workers, peasants, street
venders. ETC., of which the majority
has melancholy If not tragic impli-
cations. One can we'll understand
how an artist living in Germany
during the post-World War decades
would become preoccupied with such
subjects. But one cannot UNDER
stand how Prof. Seiferth of Howard
University's department of German,
who wrote the foreword to the cata-
logue, can state: "The American
public, confronted today by a social
scene similar to that which Luise
Kohn observed and depicted. will

European" No one will deny the

ant Director of Gallery.
The Board Of Directors of the Cor

meeting elected Robert Parsons, who
for some years has been q member
Of the gallery's administrative staff,
assistant director. Mr.. Parsons was
born in Georgetown and after at
tending the local public schools en-

sity, of which he is an alumnus. He
has been for number of years spe-
cial assistant to the director, Mr..
Minnigerode, and in addition to four
trips abroad made q very thorough
study of museums in this country.
Under one of the Carnegie Corps
grants in aid Of museum employees
he had the advantage of summer
course in the University of London.
But his fitness for his present posi-
ton is undoubtedly largely due to
experience gained in active service
at the Corcoran Gallery Of Art-and
this Is as It should be.

Some photographers with foreign

note that their choice of subject
matter and treatment seems to be
characteristic of the nationalities
suggested by their names. Weep

even so he made more than a good

retaining its unique flavor; and Of
ancient Greece, especially the Aero

was undoubtedly undertaken as
sheer labor of love, the second as a
matter of bravado, some one having
said that here was a theme he could
not transcribe. But did," he said,
with righteous pride, and those who
see in this exhibition the prints of
THE Fallen Column" and of "The
Street of the Tombs" will admit that
he spoke the truth.
Obviously all these subjects which
Mr.. Pennel transcribed through
the medium of lithography were in

all, not what they were, but the
way he set them forth that today

His contrasts of light and shade
are superbly handled; his line is
sensitive, but always firm; he tells
us enough and not too much; makes
us see what he saw aid why he
thought 1t worth the trouble to Wis
ualize it for us. How much we and
the young artists of today may learn
from these of the potentialities Of
art-the ability to find beauty in
ugliness-wonder in work-as well
as IN the greatest masterpieces OF
art that have come from the hand
of man.
Prinfmakerx of Todav
Turning now to the second half
of this very engaging and reassur-
ing exhibition, we find an exceed
ingly broad and varied representa-
ton of the works of printmakers
Of today, which makes us think
better of our generation. Here are
etchings, dry points, Autographs and
engravings by artists in all parts Of
our country, and, in some instances,
abroad. For the most part the
works by American printmakers are
OF American themes and NATIONAL
lstic in flavor, more so than one
might expect when no emphasis
was put on the so-called American
scene There are portraits, a few;
landscapes and marines, city pic
lures, figures, of great variety.

would like to own it and asked him
to set q price. To this Whistler re-
piled that he was young and mex
perienced in such things and would
prefer to leave the matter of price
to him, with the result that Mr..
Phillip acquired 1t for 80 pounds, or
about $50. When later on Sir Ed
mund Davis bought it of John
James Cowan he paid $500, and
the price that Scott and. Fowles
gave for 1t last summer was 6,100
guineas-the largest amount paid at
auction, up to the present time, for
q painting by Whistler. To be sure
when the French government lent
Whistler's portrait of his mother to
the Chicago Art Institute, the value
placed for insurance was greatly in
excess Of this, but when it was. ac-
quired for the Luxembourg the pur-
chase price, received by Whistler,
was 1000 francs which at that time,
in our money, must have been under
5000.
The great question now, however,
Is what is to become of "At the
Piano" Will it be acquired by a
private collector or 60 into one of
our American art museums? Owing
to restrictions in the Freer gift for
bidding further addition to the
Freer Whistler collection, either by
purchase or loan, it cannot 60 to
the Freer Gallery Of Art; and, as
there are already so many works by
Whistler in this city, it probably Will
not 60 to the National Gallery of
Art, although, because of its out
standing merit, it would probably be
eligible for inclusion therein. That
1t may 60 into some one of our
leading museums and so remain in
this country is greatly to be hoped.
AS certain critics have said, In this
work Whistler seems suddenly to
have attained to the full measure
OF his power and manifested all
that was best in him as well as in
his art. 1t was undoubtedly painted.

leasing his inherent power, made

Phillips Gallery School
Karl Knaths to Be Guest


The Phillips Memorial Gallery has
announced that the well known
painter. Karl Knaths, will again, for
the third successive year, be guest
instructor in its art school for
four weeks, beginning tomorrow,
January 20, and continuing through
February. Mr.. Knaths is well rep
resented in the Phillips Gallery
collection and has had the honor,
furthermore, of painting a portrait
OF Mrs. Phillips. A few students,
in addition to those regularly en-
rolled, have been permitted to join
Mr.. Knaths' group.
In the gallery a group OF paint
ings by the late Ernest Lawson is
being shown as a tribute to his
memory. Also, in the printrooms
are to be seen more Autographs by
Daumier.
