Federation of Arts Gains
Rare Fi0raVanti Sculpture

Fioravanti, which may be seen IN
room $40 Of the art department.
Tho Argentine government Sc
lected q large exhibition Of paint
ings, sculpture and prints by its
nations artists, for display at the
New York and San Francisco Fairs
and tho Latin American exhibition
at the Riverside Museum, New York,
in 1899. During the first two months
Of 1910, all these works, with new
additions from Buenos Aires, were
shown at the Virginia Museum in
Richmond Cat which time, Miss
Mechlin wrote comprehensive re-
view in these columns. The Ameri-
can Federation of Arts then made a
selection Of IS works for a travelling
exhibition. which has toured the
United States for two years, and
Is still on circuit, although the Ar
gentine governments Worlds Fair
Commission has recalled it recently.
So great is the interest in this ex-
hibition that the Co-ordinator Of
Inter-American Affairs in co-opera-
ton with the American Federation
OF Arts Is endeavoring to persuade
the Argentine government to extend
the loan. Meanwhile, one sculpture
(now at Wetsern High SCHOOL, may
remain indefinitely with the fed
Grafton.
This work, Woman Reading a
Book" is practically hfe-size, exc
cuted In the traditional manner,
with much vitality. The figure is
seated, represented as motionless
in concentration on the book; but
the observer feels the subjects
latent energy. The artist, Jose
Fioravanti, is regarded by Argen-
tineans as one Of their greatest
living sculptors. His work has been
exhibited in Europe as we'll as in
the United States and his own
country. In Argentina, he designed
and executed the monuments to two
ex-presidents, Nicolas AveIaneda
and Rogue Pena, carving the great
figures directly in the stone, and
created a number of other large
WORKS In the capital and elsewhere.
Fioravanti was born in Buenos
Aires Of Italian parents. His father
and one of his brothers were stone
masons, and he himself was ap-
prenticed In his youth, to q master
builder. This family history would
appear to indicate a manual facility
explaining in some part the sculp-
tors gift. He travelled extensively
in Europe. A French critic who
studied a large exhibition of his
work saw in 1t the influence of
Greece. Egypt and Paris, which is
not readily discernible in a single
work. but does reveal itself even
in a collection Of photographs of
Fioravanti's large monuments. His
most recent work for his nation Is
a monument to Simon Bolivar.

Pointinss BY Charles Dem"fh
Af the PHILLIPS Gallery

In the Print Room at the Phillips
Memorial Gallery there will open
TODAY a special exhibition OF paint
ings. mostly water colors, by Charles
Demuth, born in Lancaster. Pa, IN
1883, where his family, who were OF
German origin, had settled much
earlier. From the time he was IL,
Charles Demuth gave himself com
pletely to the study Of art and its
execution through painting ana
until his death in 1885.
His training was essentially con-
seryative, first at the Drexel 1nstl-
tute. then the Pennsylvania Acad-
emy. where Anschutz, Chase, Breck-
enridge and McCarter were teach
ing. and finally at the Academic
Colarossi In Paris. 1t was a1ter
his second stay in Paris that TINS
artist developed marked style o.
his own, based, 1t may be SAID,
on cubism but rendered through an
elusive mist which veiled all harsh
ness and gave suggestion OF fantasy.
He was one Of the first individualists
whose works were given place In the
phillips Gallery. In his book, "A
Collection in the Making" published
in 1926. Mr.. Phillips refers to De-
muth Is a virtuoso with water color
of the most delicious clarity and the
subtlest nuance Of pearly tones" and
calls attention to the fact that only
one with consummate taste and
tact could terminate, as did he,
30 ~perilous an adventure" with
success.

whom q second group Of the same
number and status Was elected. OBJ
viously the academy has always
been conservative but 1t has contin-
uously maintained an open door
attitude in regard to its exhibitions.
In the present exhibition of the
346 paintings and works in sculpture
catalogued, 1913 are by non members;
also, whereas the members could
only show one work each, in several
instances two works were accepted
from one and the same unafiliated
artist.
1t is interesting also to know that
the representation Is Nationwide,
and that many new names appear
in the listing for the first time.
Some of the old names are here. too,
happily, such as Seyffert, Carlson,
Benson, Roy Mason, H. Dudley Mur-
ply, Lillian Wescott Hale, Paul
King, Gertrude Fiske, Aldro Iib-
bard, c. C. Curran and others, and
yet the show is declared to be har-
monious and lively.
Among the prize awards the Sal
tus Medal for Merit went, for a small
bronze, THE Secret" to c. Paul
Jennewein, whose sculpture is well
known in this city. Among other
exhibitors in the section of sculpture
are Edmond Amateis, A. N. A.; Anna
Hyatt Huntington, NJ A.. and Bren-
da Putnam, N. A., all of whom have
representative works In Washington.
Since the National Academy
opened its 116th exhibition an an
nual election has been held and Is
associates added to its roll of men,
bers. This number is made up of
IL architects, five graphic artists,
four painters and four sculptors.
Among those honored are liberals
as well as conservatives. In the
winter of 1886 the National Acad-
emy celebrated the hundredth ami
versary Of its founding by holding
here in the Corcoran Gallery of Art
retrospective exhibition of the
works OF members. This exhibition
was tremendously opened by Calvin
Coolidge, then President of the
United States, at an evening recep-
tion-a memorable occasion.
