TWENTY-TWO NEW PAINTINGS BY
ARTHUR G. DOVE

The Intimate Gallery is dedicated primarily to an Idea and is an American Room. It is used more particularly for the intimate study of Seven Americans: John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur G. Dove, Marsden Hartley, Paul Strand, Alfred Stieglitz, and Number Seven (six + X).

It is in the Intimate Gallery only that the complete evolution and the more important examples of these American workers can be seen and studied.

The Intimate Gallery is a Direct Point of Contact between Public and Artist. It is the Artist's Room. It is a Room with but One Standard. Alfred Stieglitz has volunteered his services and is its guardian Spirit.

The Intimate Gallery is not a Business nor is it a "Social" Function. The Intimate Gallery competes with no one nor with anything.

The Gallery will be open daily, Sundays excepted, from 10 A.M. till 6 P.M. Sundays from 3 till 5 P.M.

NOTES BY ARTHUR G. DOVE

Dec. 19—Anybody should be able to feel a certain state and express it in terms of paint or music. I do not mean feeling a certain way about something, that is taking an object or subject and liking certain things about it and setting down those things.

But, for instance, to feel the power of the ground or sea, and to play or paint it with that in mind, letting spirit hold what you do together rather than continuous objective form, gaining in tangibility and actuality as the plane leaves the ground, to fly in a medium more rare and working with the imagination that has been built up from reality rather than building back to it.

To create a feeling for the idea rather than to go back to the "nest" each time to find whether or not the wings were sufficient.

The offspring of the idea to be in mind rather than its parentage.

Dec. 14—The line still holds and the contrasting sizes. Actual size all the time, and as much as you need of any size, so that all the things you feel are quite real, and actual, and all the feelings can be contrasted much the same as waves roll on a shore and wash back against each other. It certainly can be drawn through as fine as that. And as I said before things can be of the same size and of different sizes at the same time. That is certainly true and covers both vision and feelings.

There is no right or wrong in aesthetics, there is only that thing of finding something that seems more true than the last something that you or some one else found that seemed quite true. There being no possibility of an absolute true, we approach it by dividing the distance.

Dec. 27—Perhaps one might take two or three motifs, we will say in a blunt way for example to express ruggedness.

One Motif: Prussian blue black; raw sienna with a touch of light gray, and transparent brown mixed with burnt sienna and a bit of white.

The line motif to be the lines in a lump of coal.
Two Motif: Raw sienna with a touch of white; silver, burnt brown wood color dark.

The line motif to be the line in the grain of wood.

Three Motif: Silver and ultramarine ash.

Pure straight line.

This would seem to be enough to work with and let these forms as organized motifs go through each other, take care of themselves rather than to represent a stump or tree or some rock about the title of which everyone would be certain that "Ruggedness" was correct.

Jan. 12—Just now I am trying to put a line around, in, and through an idea. After that, or at the same time, to thoroughly grasp or sense the light condition in which that idea exists. The rest is just trying to make everything you put down say the same thing in different ways as hard as possible, and with order, or disorder, if necessary, to make the sensation completely realized.

MARCH 5TH—PERHAPS ART IS JUST TAKING OUT WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE AND PUTTING IN WHAT YOU DO.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ABSTRACTION.

IT IS EXTRACTION, GRAVITATION TOWARD A CERTAIN DIRECTION, AND MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

IF THE EXTRACT BE CLEAR ENOUGH ITS VALUE WILL
EXIST.

IT IS NEARER TO MUSIC, NOT THE MUSIC OF THE EARS, JUST THE MUSIC OF THE EYES.

IT SHOULD NECESSITATE NO EFFORT TO UNDERSTAND.

JUST TO LOOK, AND, IF LOOKING GIVES VISION, ENJOYMENT SHOULD OCCUR AS THE EYES LOOK.

Miss Georgia O'Keefe,
489 Park Avenue,
New York, N. Y.

My dear Miss O'Keefe:

Woman's place in the Sun --- that is something which is still open to speculation for she has barely started on her way to conquest. Women the world over are making their influence felt in every field of activity; individual women have climbed even to the heights in many walks of life, blazing the trail for their more timid sisters and thus making the way "an open road" for future generations.

What YOU have accomplished in your particular field of endeavor is an inspiration to other women. Volume IV of THE BIOGRAPHICAL CYCLOPAEDIA OF AMERICAN WOMEN is being prepared with this end in view --- that it shall be useful and inspirational, providing as it will a record of the accomplishments of outstanding American women.

This volume will contain not only a compact statement of your record for quick reference, but will also give a brief biographical sketch which our editors will prepare from the material which you will furnish. The enclosed questionnaire is sent you with the request that you give the information asked, as fully as possible, in order that we may the better prepare your biographical sketch.

THE BIOGRAPHICAL CYCLOPAEDIA OF AMERICAN WOMEN will contain an alphabetical index and also an index according to the various fields of activity covered. The completed volume will cost $10.00, --- with three quarter leather binding $20.00. Should you wish a copy reserved for you, we suggest you place an order now.

I am sure you realize the value of a work such as this which is used by libraries, schools and colleges, women's clubs, etc., throughout the country. As much time is consumed in the proper preparation of the biographical sketch after receipt of the information from you, by filling out the questionnaire at once you will assist us very materially.

The Seventh Annual Exhibition of Paintings

The
Harwood Foundation

Paintings by artists of Taos and vicinity will be exhibited at the Harwood Foundation, Taos, from May 28 to October 19, 1929.

In order that artists may change their exhibits and that new work may be entered, the exhibition will be re-hung twice during the season on July 6 and September 7. This will divide the season into three periods.

The exhibitor agrees that paintings hung at the beginning of any period shall not be removed until the end of that period.

All exhibits for the opening period will be delivered to Harwood Foundation studio on May 25, 1929, between the hours of 10 A. M. and 5 P. M.

Two paintings may be entered by each artist, but if space does not permit, the committee reserves the right to hang only one exhibit.

Title and price of each painting and name of the artist must be plainly shown on the back of each exhibit.

On account of the increasing number of exhibits and limited space, no paintings larger than 30 by 40 inches (canvas size) can be accepted.

Canvases smaller than 12 by 16 inches will be hung in the small gallery.

All paintings will be exhibited at the risk of the owners. All reasonable care will be exercised in the handling and hanging of the exhibits but no responsibility for loss or damage will be assumed by The Hardwood Foundation or by the committee.

An attendant will be in charge of the exhibition.

A commission of ten per cent will be charged on all sales. The proceeds from commissions will be used for maintenance of the gallery.

The gallery will be open to visitors on week days from 10 A. M. to 12 M. and from 2 P. M. to 5 P. M.

PAUL STRAND
NEW PHOTOGRAPHS

MARCH 19—APRIL 7
1929

OMITTING AN INQUIRY INTO WHETHER A PHOTOGRAPH MAY OR MAY NOT BE A WORK OF ART, A PREVALENT PROBLEM AMONG ESTHETICIANS, I AM IMPELLED TO TELL OF MY REACTIONS TO THE RARE PHOTOGRAPHS OF PAUL STRAND.

PAUL STRAND'S WORK IS NEVER SENTIMENTAL EITHER IN CHOICE OF SUBJECT-MATTER OR SUBJECTIVELY. IT IS PRECISE, CLEAR, FUNDAMENTAL.

HIS GROUP OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF MACHINES UNCOVER ASPECTS OF THINGS WHICH RANGE FROM SORDID AND OBTUSE BRUTALITY TO COLD, POLISHED AND CRUEL CULTURE. ANOTHER GROUP OF PHOTOGRAPHS—FRAGMENTS OF DRIFTWOOD, ROTTED TREES AND, PARTICULARLY, THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF STONES AND ROCKS REVEAL WITH TRUE GRANDEUR THE PERSISTENT LIFE WITHIN THESE BITS OF THE UNIVERSE.

THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF FLOWERS GRANT THE BEHOLDER OF THEM AN INTIMACY WITH THOSE FLOWERS STRICTLY WITHOUT THE INTRODUCTION OF EITHER THE SUPERFICIAL OR THE EQUIVOCAL. EACH PHOTOGRAPH IS A GRATIFICATION TO THE EYE THAT, CONSTANTLY, MEETS WITH THE COMPLETE APPROBATION OF THE INNER EYE.

PAUL STRAND'S PHOTOGRAPHS ARE POWERFUL, PERSONAL, SPIRITUAL, DECISIVELY AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS, WITHIN THE MAELSTROM OF AMERICAN MATERIALISM WHICH PROJECT FAR BEYOND MERE MECHANICAL EXACTITUDE.
