to be acquainted with her subjects
to be convinced that she has a gift
for likeness. The portraits in the
present group have strong individ-
uality and much unobtrusive charm
from the soft bloom of the pastel
medium and the artists quiet color

OF many an encore. Jack and His

ton, not only of specific boy, but
OF boyhood, and his affectionate re-
latlonship to his pet. In three other
heads OF very young children, Miss
Mccartney conveys the straightfor-
ward freshness of little ones whose
few years have been lived in normal
~ happy surroundings.
Her portraits of adults have
more variety, as one might expect.
There are two of lovely blond
young women, Scandinavian types

a sensitive, intellectual old man;

head of little girl on which she

PLY the public will be able to register
conviction by voting during the
course OF the exhibition for the
Popular Prize $4,000 to be awarded
to the painting which visitors think
most worthy.
Some conception of viewpoint
Of the jurors may be had by exam
ination of the works by which they
themselves have chosen to be rep
resented. Mr.. Watkins, for instance,
shows a large canvas of two little
girls, Misses M. and NJ de S." which
won a prize in the Pennsylvania
Academy exhibition but is extraor-
dinarily lacking in third dimension
and very fantastic in assumption of
puerility. Mr.. Chaplin is represented
by a landscape, Effect of Evening" 4"
which has the appearance of care
less painting and does not register;
Mr.. Cowles' Happy Hunters" is a
subject picture which some will find
interesting but is not outstanding;
Guy Pene Du Bois, on the other
hand, is perhaps at his best in a less
than life-size nude, Chilean Indian"

key with green in the flesh shadows

in striking contrast is Alexander
James "Embattled Farmer" a man
evidently aged by toll, laboriously
tapping some message out on a
typewriter-a good academic study,
carried just far enough to tease but
not satisfy.
This rather melancholy dirge
should not, however, be too quickly
interpreted as applicable to the
Seventeenth Biennial as a whole,
for among the many mournful and
disturbing works shown are some
which, if reminiscent of other DAYS,
partake of the universal-works
which are skillfully painted and in
dicative of an idea-that of the
imperishability of beauty.
Some Fine Paintings Shown.
The visitor to this exhibition
would do well to disregard tempo
rarily the catalogue numbering,
which begins with No. l in the
hemicycle and continues in Sc
quence through the east range of
galleries, to the west and south, and
instead turns directly into gallery
H, to the right of the main stair
case ascending. Here are hung
some of the finest and most delight
full paintings in this exhibition
pictures which open new vistas and
create happy memories. Midway
of the west wall is a large canvas
by Edward w. Redfield-"Bea-
yer Brook"-painted with greater
breadth and more emotion than
many of his fine canvases evidence
and at the same time with no less
clever craftsmanship. This is a
work typical of our time, American
admirable.

Perhaps it is well painted-but even
so how unappealing! Why should
thing of this sort be perpetuated?
Was 1t meant as allegory, or for
our admiration? Without attempt
ing to solve the riddle the sugges-
ton may perhaps aptly be made
that to an extent this strange COM
position represents the field of
painting today-the field in which
so much is upside down and in
comprehensive.
Strange Subjects Chosen.

From the side of the canvas reach-

this lugubrious work is That Which
I Should Have Done I Did Not Do"
Peppino Mangravite has sent to this
exhibition a still life entitled '"Trib-
ute to Musician" which shows a
pair Of cutoff hands lying on a
piece of music on the keyboard of
piano. Karl Zerbe shows a still
life in which the chief object Is the
skull Of a dead COW. Under the

pictures with unrestrained vulgarity,
sickening things which common de-
cency ordinarily screens from view.
There are many shades of vul-
garity to be seen in the pictures
which have found their way into
this exhibition as we'll as much
that is simply ugly. What does it
mean. the degeneracy of life re-
fected in art, or the eyes of the
artists misdirected to things which
are merely Incidental and super
fetal? Heretofore, it has been
the eternal verities of life with
which the artists have dealt, not
the transitory things Of death. What
has happened to make the change?
1t is unaccountable. To dwell on
this is unnecessary. 1t speaks for
itself, alas, too loudly. But If this
is the art that is offered for sale is
it any wonder that the market is
poor?
There are, strangely enough, very
few landscapes in this exhibition

holder a sense of the beauty of
the outside world. There is one
