art for Bonds"
Exhibition at "a
National Gallery

In the National Gallery Of Art
there will open today a unique and
notable exhibition. Entitled art
for Bonds" it is composed of paint
ings by well-known American art
lists which we're originally purposed
for War bond poster use.
In some instances the original
sketch, the finished painting and
the poster, after reproduction, will
all be shown.
The exhibits number 36 and the
artists 20. Among the latter-to
mention only a few-are John Ath-
erton, Thomas Hart Benton, Will
liam Gropper. E. Mcknight Kauffer
Reginald Marsh, Paul Sample,
Boardman Robinson and N. C.
Wyeth, each Of whom represents an
i1adividualistic viewpoint. 4
The exhibition is sponsored by
two distinguished Treasury De-
partment national committees
that of honorary patrons, of which
Mrs. Roosevelt is honorary chair
man, and Mrs. Morgenthau, chair
man, and that OF museum directors,
of which David E. Finley, director
Of the National Gallery of Art, is
chairman.
After being shown here it will be
sent on a circuit of other art mu-
seums throughout the country. OBJ
viously its purpose is to so bring
the war home to us that the sale of
bonds will be accelerated.
The works will be displayed in
the same center gallery on the
ground floor in which collections of
war posters and other war paint
ings have been previously set forth.
The time of showing will coincide
with the dates of the Third War
Loan Campaign. An attractive cat
alogue has been published.

so, now and then, he found time
to make painting wherever he
might be-New England, Florida,
Key West or Washington. OF the
work of others he was invariably a
kindly critic leaving each the free
dom of individual expression. Also
he was genial companion, gay
of spirit and when it came to ad-
ministrative work, tireless. What
ever he undertook he seemed to
have brought to success. Few are
as richly endowed as was he, or
have more truly deserved the affec-
tion and admiration bestowed by
co-workers and friends.
Among the artists making up the
Edward Bruce Group and repre-
sented in the current exhibition
which will continue until the 28th
of this month-are Clifford Beal
George Biddle. William Calfee, John
Steuart Curry, Olin Dows, John
Folinsbee, Robert and Margaret
Gates, Xavier Gonzales, Peter Hurd
Mitchell Jameson, Sheffield Kagy
Leon Kroll, Pietro Lazzari, Tom

went wild over the air. He refused
to finish high school, preferring to
hang around airports instead. He
lived on hot dogs to scrimp up
money for lessons, he made himself
a pilot, and when he was good
enough and old enough he tried to
get to China as pilot. He ended
IN the Seattle hoosegow-but by the
time he had been shipped home
Canada needed him, he thought.
But Canada wanted diplomas.
Beurling worked his way to Eng
land to enlist and worked his way
back to Canada to pick up a birth
certificate. Then the Raj took him,
trained him and set him at the
Hetnies. He got to Malta by sub
stituting for a pilot about to become
father and there his story of a
lone wolf against the Axis hits high.
1t took lBeurling many months. to
subdue his cocky spirit and make a
team man Of himself. But nothing
quite like him had been seen at
Malta-he knocked ferries out Of
the sky in droves. he lived through
1t, was wounded and sent home for
q while. BY consciously emphasize
ing the bravery of his mates, Beur-
ling unconsciously paints his own
superb portrait. Read it.

Art, like music, is international.
It has no language barriers. This
brief article can only suggest books
which will provide acquaintance with
the art of a few OF the United Ma
tions.
Art in England is discussed and
well illustrated in Christopher
Blake's Modern English Art" ia
cob Epstein" by Robert Black, is the
first comprehensive book on the
work of the most discussed and
outstanding sculptor OF the 10th
century-an American who has
lived and worked in England for
many years.
Perhaps no two nations have had
such similar growth and so many
parallel conditions as have Aus
tralia and the United States. A few
years ago great exhibition Of the
art of Australia was held in this
country. The catalogue of the ex-
hibition, THE Art of Australia"
profusely illustrated, furnishes an
excellent introduction to the subject.

Jerome Myers Etchings on View

En- Route" impress the beholder
with the truth of the artists obser-
vation. The protective gesture Of
the mother, too as she takes care
they do not fall, is very lifelike.
Myers also made portrait draw
ings and prints. An etched self
portrait in the present exhibition
shows him dressed in a fancy
costume, with a quizzical express
sion in his eyes. There is a f1eeting
hint of Rembrandt in this print,
as in some of the representations
OF groups of people.
Myers was born in Petersburg,
Va, but early left his home to study
art in New York City. He worked
all day at varied occupations to
earn his living, and divided his
evenings between the Art Students
League and public libraries.
He Is represented in the per-
manent collections of 27 museums
throughout the country. At the
present time a large memorial ex-
hibition Of his paintings, drawings
and prints Is touring under auspices
of the American Federation of
Arts. 1t is beginning its second
season on circuit.
Dutch Ph0fograbhs.
Although not strictly or primarily
an art exhibition, "The Netherlands
in Peace and at War" a series of
nearly 100 photographs assembled
by the Netherlands Information
Bureau, and now on view at the
Library of Congress, has certain as
poets which entitle 1t to a brief
mention here.
1t is an interest-compelling sur
vey, beginning with the royal family
and views OF picturesque Holland,
It's old churches. windmills, streets,
flsherfolk. etc. What happened to
this architectural beauty on May 10,
1910, is wildly set forth in photo
graphs Of the Nazi invasion.
The Netherlands accomplish
ments in reclaiming land from the
Zuider Zee dnstead of killing it's
neighbors and seizing their terri
tories) and in building fine modern
apartments for workers; the con-
tinuing fight of the Dutch Navy,
merchant marine and air forces,
and. finally, series of pictures illus
tating the Netherlands West Indies
and East Indies, their ancient cul-
tllreS native arts and heo,,tv ~
scene, afford the visitor a compre-
hensive idea of the recent and con-
temporary history of this small but
valiant nation.

has laid down the work, it will 20
on-the seed is sown-the harvest
only awaits better season than
the present to bring forth flower and
fruit.
But who was Edward Bruce. some
will say, and whence came his in
terest in art and artists? Born in
Yonkers, New York, in 1879, of an
old New York family, he began the
study OF art at the age of IA under
j. Francis Murphy, than whom none
could have been better teacher and
guide. When of proper age young
EDWARD was sent to Columbia Uni
versity where If he did not excel
IN scholarship-and he probably did
he at least won distinction on the
football field. Later he studied law
which for a time he practiced-o oddly
enough in Manila.
From Manila he went to China
and took up banking and merchan-
tile trade in both of which he scored
success. 1t was in China, where he
remained for over 10 years, that his
inherent love of art reasserted itself.
He made himself fully familiar with
the art of ChinaEits characteristics
and charm, and as an amateur as
sembled a collection which is now
IN the Fogg Museum, Cambridge.
With this background, and a love
OF quest, he went from China to
Italy, where he made study of the
italian primitives and the great
works of the Renaissance painters,
There he fell in with Maurice Sterne
and became his pupil, studying with
him for three years at Anticoli. Thus
he delved into modernism but with
out surrender Of his own convictions.
Exceptionally Gifted.
Edward Bruce was sensitive and
perceptive and when he began to
exhibit publicly he was hailed as
one exceptionally gifted with deep
understanding but fresh vision, An
exhibition of italian and French
landscapes held in Paris was high
ly praised and every work shown
was sold: a phenomenal occurrence.
One of his first exhibitions held
in this country was at the Rhine
'hardt Galleries in New York in De-
cember, 1929. 1t received, as did the
exhibition IN Paris, high praise and
those who had the privilege of at,
tendance thereon will always re-
member the sensation of pleasure
it instantly gave and which long
ingered-the work was so subtle, so
sincere, SO decorative and vet so
simple. In his works were blended
then and for all time the archaic
and the modern, which in happy
union, bring the past and the pres
ent within arms reach.
Edward Bruce. as a painter, had
much to contribute, but for the
most part he chose to Give himself
and his time to building up for
his own country a great national
art. The last years OF his life were
spent IN a wheeled chair, but even

By Florence S. Berryuan.

Jerome Myers etchings and litho-
graphs constitute a special memorial
exhibition this month at the Divi-
sion of Graphic Arts, Smithsonian
Building. Thirty-five prints, a large
proportion of the etchings in colors,
provide a well-rounded idea of this
kindly sympathetic mans interpre-
tatlons OF New Yorks East Side and
few other subjects.
He died three years ago. after a
lifetime spent chiefly in New York
City. A few months before his
death, his autobiography was pub
llshed, entitled Artist in Manhat-
tan 1t was an appropriate title,
yet 1t does not convey fully the spe-
cial flavor of Myers art, which has
philosophical overtones and ex-
presses a deep love of humanity,
qualities which are not found in
the work of many another artist
who happens to live and create art
in the metropolis.
Children are the main themes Of
Myers work-crowds of children
playing on the streets of the tene-
ment districts, in recreation grounds
or parks, and occasionally portraits
OF individual children. Their back
grounds are the tenements, or old
decay1ng houses, and hard worked
parents and other toil-worn adults.
Yet one does not get the feeling that
Myers pitied these people he painted
so knowingly. He sympathized with
them, felt close kinship, for he,
too, had worked hard and had won
his success by His own persever-
ance. But that he would have
changed these people, is certainly
not apparent from his pictures. He
seems to have liked and admired
them as they were, or as he found
them.
Such prints as Morning on the
East Side" with the peddlers and
pushcarts and their wares in soft
toned colors; Fruit Peddlers," "Old
House" etc, convey the impression
that there is romance and adven-
ture in these teeming sections of the
poor, They are quite different in
feeling from the transcriptions Of
the poverty stricken, made by art
| lists of the social-conscious' school,
| for instance.
One completely forgets the eco
nomic status of the children and
their parents in the lithograph "The
Pursuit OF Pleasure" for example.
and catches the infectious gayety Of
the children as they follow a
hurdy gurdy man through the
streets. The artist caught the spirit
as we'll as the appearance of child
hood In this as in many other prints
In the present show. The silent
wonder of little folks looking at par
rots In "The Bronx Zoo" and the
exuherant curiosity Of the children
kneeling upon the streetcar seats In
