Baltimore Modern
! A pioneer Baltimore modernist,
Charles H. Walther. is commem-
Grated by the exhibition now IN
George Washington University's
Library through next Friday. All
but two Of the paintings are loans
from the artists son. Carl H. Wal
ther, professor of civil engineer
ing and assistant dean Of the uni
versity's school of engineering.
The others were lent by the Bal
timore Museum of Art and the
Phillips Memorial Gallery.
Charles Walther. native OF
Baltimore (born 1870. studied at
the Maryland Institute Of Fine
Arts and the Charcoal Club OF
Baltimore, and returned to teach |
at both institutions for many
years, after completing his art
education In Paris at the Julian
and Colarossi Academies.
Despite his conservative train
ing, Mr.. Walther was one Of the
founders and first president Of the
Society of Baltimore Independent
Artists, and was recognized as a
leader in the modern art move
ment there until his death In 1888.
His paintings were exhibited in
Baltimore, Washington, Philadel-
phia, New York and Chicago with
many one-man shows. This rec
ognition of the genuine worth Of
his work is understandable to any
one who visits the present show.
These paintings reveal his fair for

planes and simplified shapes and

Most of them would be well
