National Museum Shows
Bertha Joques' Prints

Under the auspices of the Ma
tional Collection of Fine Arts,
Smithsonian Institution, memorial
exhibition of etchings and prints
in color by Bertha E. JaQues is being
held this month in the lobby of the
National Museum. This is fitting
tribute. for Mrs. Jaques undoubtedly
did more than any one else to create
interest in this country in the
graphic arts and to advance their
standings. For q years she was
secretary of the Chicago Society of
Etchers. during which time she was
indefatigable in the interests of both
the organization and its members,
for whom she helped to create
market Many of our foremost
printmakers today owe their success
to her judgment and encourage
ment. None was more universally
honored and beloved in this field
than she. She was one of those who,
enthusiastically practising the art
of etching, made her largest con-
tribution through the work of others
and service rendered to the public
at large. Like Charles Eliot Norton,
she taught more than one generation
to see, and so find enjoyment in art.
Not only did she arrange exhibitions;
she gave demonstrations in schools,
colleges. women's clubs and the like
within a wide radius of Chicago.
Although she had relinquished the
secretaryship of the Chicago Society
of Etchers, she was active in the
organization up to five days before
her death, March 80. 1t was under
her encouragement that Helen
HYDE, whom she met in Japan. began
her career in this country as a color
woodblock print maker-introducing
the art. now much practised, to
American artists. Also, it was she
who introduced the works of Eric
Scott, outstanding Australian etcher
now in England, to American print
lovers. Some years ago, at the in
stance of Mrs. JaqueS, the Chicago
Society presented a complete set of
its diploma prints to the Division of
Graphic Arts of the National
Museum, to which collection it has
since generously added. Mrs. Jaques
herself has made very welcome con-
tributions to this National collection.
Of the so or more prints now on
view, the most individual perhaps
are those plants and flowers done

and above the level of the eye, par
ticularly if they are to take their
place functionally as decorations. in
keeping with the buildings ar
chitectural design. Admirable in
themselves, these panels could not
be worse placed. A mural is not
merely painting made on or at
tached to wall, but one designed
for such placement and appropriate
thereto.
Mr. Beal is one of our best con-
temporary painterS-one who has,
in his paintings of life on our New
England Coast and rural districts,
set high standard, as did Winslow
Homer before him. With this IN
mind, the new murals seem not so
good as they should be; for, whereas
they have pictorial quality and in
tereSt. they lack the element OF
drama which should be funda-
mental. In other words, they are
illustrations on a very large scale.
The Hawaiian one is richly colorful
and broadly painted, the pigment
oil tempera-being fatty laid on in
simple masses, much as scene for
the theater might be rendered. The
Alaska panel-also in oil tempera-
is rather dryly done. but also theat-
rical without concentration of inter-
est. Across its full length in the
foreground is a dog team. drawing
Sledge. thrown apparently into
excitement and disorder by the ap-
proach of a second team, seen
emerging over the snowfleld, far to
the right. The driver Of the team
is doing his best to quiet the dogs,
but general disorder prevails. OBJ
viously. both panels are well painted
anything by Mr.. Beal would be
but they carry no conviction, and
the impression is that the painters
emotions were not stirred-that,
in both instances, these pictures
might have been done from photo
graphs and so lacked inspiration.
If We are going to employ our
best artists for such work, they
should not be handicapped by either
theme or placement. The primary
function of a mural IS to decorate:
secondarily, it should be a part
of the wall. What it has to say can
then be said with clarity and dignity.
Mr.. Beal has previously executed,
under the program of the Section of
Fine Arts, Public Buildings Admin
istration. Federal Works Agency, a
series of 10 murals for the decoration
of the Allentown pa Post Office.
He is represented by paintings and
etchings in the majority of our
leading art museums and print
collections, among which are the
Phillips Memorial Gallery and the
Library of Congress.

colored-such, for example, as
Mountain Ash" "Thornapple, -

sonality seemed to find expression.
And yet, occasionally, she rendered
very difficult themes with surprising
skill and feeling-as, for example,
Paradise Bridge" Venice, and "A
Sunny Corner" found elsewhere on
her travels. In the present collection
are many souvenirs of travel in Eng
land, as we'll as Italy. Holland and
Japan, indicative of keen vision and
delight in transcription. There are
not SO many women etchers, but
among the best of these, Bertha
Jaques will always have place.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art
placed on exhibition yesterday, and
for a fortnight or more, a collection
of etchings by Mortimer Borne of
New York, who has not previously
exhibited here. An American by
adoption, Mr.. Borne was a native of
Russian Poland, but was brought to
this country as child and studied
at the National Academy and the
Art Students League in New York,
where ne still resides. He is a men,
Der of the Society of American
Etchers, with which he regularly ex-
hibits. and his prints have been ac-
quired for the National Print Col
lection Of the Library of Congress.
Among the works shown are a
number made few years ago in
Jerusalem, where the artist passed
six months. One of these is of the
city as seen from the Jaffa Gate. A
pleasing composition, senSitively rem
dered, is of the houses and church
spires of Gloucester, Mass, as seen
across the upper harbor from Rocky
Neck, with Five Pound Island in the
foreground. For the most part,
however, Mr.. Borne has etched New
York, its water front, its streets and
its parks, strongly and with SYM
pathy. Evidently, he has been in
f1uenced by the current inclination
toward boldness and strength, but
his hand is skilled and capable of
subtlety in execution. He uses dry
point exclusively and works directly
on the plate, not even making
preliminary sketch. His line is Wig

ence avenue S.W. There is no
connection between the two shows;
but one regrets they are so far
apart. for both are simple and
childlike, and it is easy to imagine
that the paintings and drawings
at the w. P. A. galleries could have
been done by the children Mr..
Blake has portrayed.
This young man, a teacher OF
history and geography at Hine
Junior High School, makes sketches
of his pupils as hobby. The
present exhibition of 25 of his
pencil drawings is hiss first public
showing. He makes no pretense
of being more than an amateur as
yet; his work is simple. natural
istic in character and largely in
outline. However, 1t reveals a SYM
pathetic understanding of children,
a fondness for them. and an ability
to capture a likeness. His subjects
faces are all quite different. each
has it's own individuality in his
work. The hours spent in making
these sketches must have established
considerable rapport between pupils
and teacher. Mr.. Blake has given
careful attention to the hair of his
little sitters. and has been success
full in rendering various textures
and coiffures-the lustrous curls
of a little girl. the thick bob of
another, the silky, fiat pigtails of
a third, the stiff, bristling crest
of a lad nicknamed ''Nazi," etc.
Several of the children are depicted
in costume. which indicates another
of Mr.. Blake's activities: He con-
ducts a dramatic club at Hine,
writes plays. designs and executes
all stage properties as well as cos
tunes.

New Interior Department
Murojs Are Interesting

two large mural paintings by Clifford
Beal. One represents the cultivation
OF pineapples in Hawaii and the
other dog teams in Alaska passing
on a snow-covered slope. Both are
interesting compositions, rendered
with pictorial charm.
They are 13 feet long by 81a feet
high and have been mounted on
opposite walls of the long hall run
ming north and south on the fifth
Moor of the new building. If they
we're painted for such placement,
they are curiously inharmonious, the
color schemes being variously keyed
and the manner of presentation ut
terly diverse. Also, as the hall is
only about Is feet wide, it is quite
impossible to get satisfactory view
