hunting horns. Thus, in combina-
ton, as ingredients for final realiza-
ton, are ideas, materials, study, re-
search and artistic facility.
Imaginative Conception.
But that is not all. These spec
tacles might seem to happen-such
was the intention of the designer
and his associates-but the hap
pening was through prefect COL
laboration and cooperation, never
haphazardly. For each spectacle,
scores were made out; a master
sheet for the director, cue sheets
for subordinate managers-such, for
instance, as the band leader, the
controller of lights, the producer of
firework effects. To the layman,
these sheets look as complicated as
the score for an opera, but they go
TO show the precision with which
the imaginative conception was
bridled and rationalized.
In each case, the spectacle had
an idea back of it other than mere
glamorous and eSthetic effect. The
titles of each gives indication of
underlying theme. In the 1899 fair
these themes were The World and
the Cathedral" From Clay to
Steel" STORY Of Three Flowers"
The Hunt" and The Garden of
Eden; for the 1910 fair the chief
themes were Finland" based on
"Findlandia,' by Sibelius; "Au
America" in which a series of pa
triotic songs served as suggestion,
and Legends" taken largely from
/ Wagner's great compositions, Magic
Fire" The Rider" "Wotans Fare
we'll" In the last, the visual effects
were, we are told, inspired by the
musical expression of a world in
its primitive stage, when man
bowed to the elements which he
worshiped as gods-water, light,
fire, earth-and in the spectacle,
presented in the present machine
age, three of these gods, tanned and
subdued, create the story of their
legendary powers.
In short, here, in these spectacles,
we find the creation of new form
of esthetic expression brought about
| through the use of common ma
terials and elements adapted artis-
tically and skillfully to popular COM
prehension and requirement-and
| extension of the field which should
be not only welcome, but reassur-
ing. Even in this material age, it
is evident that there are those
among us who can dream dreams
| and see visions"

Rowland Lyons versatility in me-
dlums and techniques is revealed in
special exhibition of his paintings
in oil and water color, block prints
and wood carvings, which opened
yesterday at the Corcoran Gallery
of Art.
His work is well known here, as
he exhibits regularly with the Land
scape Club and the Socieyy of Wash
lngton Artists. and at the Arts
Club. Among the works currently
shown are a number which have
received awards in annual exhibit
tons. The paintings and prints
were done in Mexico, Provincetown,
Mass, and here, and it is pleasant
to see that Mr.. Lyon took pleasure
in picturesque aspects of each place.
Mexico City, II am" vivid with
sunshine filtering through trees,
beyond which one sees a cathedral,
has been lent by the Arts Club;
this water color won the Landscape
Club Purchase Prize several years
ago. Different in character is ar
oil painting which won the prize
for still-life at the Society of Wash
ington Artists in 1885. 1t depicts
a studio corner, with table crowd
ed with vases, flower pots, jugs, etc,
all the textures being nicely diff
ferentiated.
The general effect of Mr.. Lyon S
paintings in both mediums is one
of fresh, clear color, sunny atmos-
phere and clean-cut forms. He
paints sirhplifled aspects of his sub
jects, and favors the palette knife
technique in many of his oils.

George de Forest Brush's
Death Recalls Fine Works

The death of George de Forest
Brush in Hanover, N. H. on April "a
removed from the field of contempo-
rary art one of Americas most dis
tinguished painters, and one of the
last of the school which brought dis
tinction upon our Nation through
the artistic merit of works produced.
Born in Shelbyville, Tenn, in Sep
tember, 1855, Mr.. Brush studied first
at the National Academy of Design
in New York, and later in Paris
under Gerome. While abroad, he
went to Italy and fell under the
spell of the italian masters, learning
from them making their ideals his
own, following in their footsteps, but
not surrendering his own viewpoint
or personality.
Nothing could be more genuinely
American in fact and feeling than
his painting, Mother and Child" by
which he is represented in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art-an outstand-
ing masterpiece, a valuable possess
sion. This is of his wife and one of
their children, of whom four daugh-
ters and son survive. 1t is painted
broadly and beautifully, is realistic
and, at the same time, essentially
spiritual, in as much as 1t gives ex-
preston to things unseen, the care
and joy of motherhood, the inno-
cence and robustness of infancy.
This painting was purchased by the
Corcoran Gallery from the artist
shortly after it was painted in 1902,
on the enthusiastic Endorsement of
S. H. Kaufman, then president of
the board of trustees.
When Mr.. Brush returned to this
country after his student days in
Europe, he went to Montana and
adjacent States, where he painted
Indians, seeking then, as our artists
are seeking now, to find truly nation
alistit expression. A painting of this
period is included in the Evans COL
lection, given to the Nation and held
in trust by the Smithsonian In
stitution. 1t is entitled The Moose
Chase" and represents Indians in a
canoe on an open stretch of water
pursuing a swimming moose, the
head and antlers of which just
appear above the surface of lake or
river This painting shows the then
young artist to have been an accom-
plished craftsman as well as a keen
observer, both of which he remained
tn the end nf hiS dovc
Feet on Ground.
Essentially one with head in the
clouds, Mr.. Brush, also had his feet
firmly set upon the ground-he was
not an idle dreamer or waster-
whatever he did was done to the
best of his ability, and he always
kept faith with his art. For many
years his home was at Dublin, N H.
where, it will be remembered, Abbott
Thayer also lived, but every now and
then he went back to Florence to
renew acquaintance with his friends
and masters of long ago.
Mr.. Brush, almost invariably, used
his own children and Mrs. Brush as
his models, painting them again
and again, but always from some
different viewpoint. These paint
ings have found their way into our
leading art museums and are beloved
by the people. Happily, Mr. Brush's
genius was understood and appre-
ciated while he lived His paintings
