FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1926 LOCAL WOMEN GIVE THEIR IMPRESSIONS OF THE ART EXHIBIT BEING SHOWN HERE (By Mrs. Florence Davis) A stroll through the temporar: gillery. arranged in the rooms of the ismarck Association of Commerce brings to light a varied and discrim- inating taste in the Bismarck people and of those in the surrounding towns. Of the eight artists whose ori- peel work is ae nted in the ex- ibit, perhaps younger and more instaking artists make the more appeal, This might bé for one of two reasons: The eye is a eustomed to photographic reprodu tion, rather than orginal hand work. Then too, the smaller paintings a| ply the more readily to the pres day mode of living in apartment and bungalow of the prairie town. Scarcely may-one determine which of five artists represented will even- tually prove most popular to our people. Grigware, Spelman, Jensen, Young, and Topping seem to be run- ning “neck and neck” for the favor of visitors. The first four mentioned, with three canvasses cach, are creat- ing much discussion and comparison, all in the happiest vein of enjoyment. Topping with two canvasses is at- tracting the attention of possibly a morte individualistic group. Sa ware’s “New England Village” is outstanding picture for fine, finished workmanship and attention to detail. It is likely to take first place among this group of painters in the re= ciation our people. His on Shadows,” with its little, colonial. home and splendid trees ‘bathed in loveliest moonligh very di- rectly to the sentiment, yes, and the memory of eastern people transplant- ed in our open country of the mid- west. His “Boathouse,” decorative in arrangement, is receiving several votes. jpelman, who, by the way, is a prize winner in last month’s Chicago artists’ exhibit at the Art Institute, shows, ¢s does-Jensen, u marked di- versity in subject and handling. His “Trout Pool,” a rich bit from the northern Minnesota Lake country, is so familiar to North Dakotans that much enthusiasm is shown in view- ing it. So finished is it in line and color that its likeness to a beautiful- ly “tinted” photograph is felt, but that only adds interest if our pra trained eyes. His marine “Colored Rocks” is likely to remain in Bit marck, so general is its popularity, while his “Spring on the Ohio, the contrast needed to make a col- lection attractive. “Delicacy of the very first green of spring on ‘the loveliest of American rivers, and all framed in one of the most successful frames of the groyp, is making a place for this picture that is most satisfactory. Jensen has somewhat ‘a like com- bination of work in his three can- vases. “Winter Morning” is well named and well done. His treatment is excellent, and while the feeling is not that of a western winter morn- g, it is'a noticeable contribution. “In Ole Virginia” is a delight to everybody. We wish to, own_i and his marine hore, ‘oung’s three, “Through the Birches,” a well done canvas showing some of the most painstaking effort, is greatly enjoyed, while his “Rolling Ciouds” calls out much discussion. The 11 ter in subdued blue grays and greens, produces a feeling of rest, though its appeal’ is not so gencral as is his “Rhrough the Birches.” His “Along the River,” would grow in favor were we permitted to live with the pic- tures for a longer time, just ds do the more masterful canvases of Carl Kraft, It is not often that five canvases of an artist as well and ~ favorably mown as Kraft appenr-in one .smail exhibit of so temporary a nature as is our first attempt in Bismarck, and visitors are keenly aware of the di tinction and worth of his display. His “Bess and Jess” is a canvas to go far to see, Every horseman in this “horseman’s country” should see this gallant team and we only wish they might continue to stand at the door of one of our municipal buildings to cheer us through our day’s work for all time in Bismarck, terlude” is taking the solid vote of the town boys, and well it should. “Edge of the Field,” in its richest of gold Hele and framed mat, is causing muc longing in the hearts of the Bismarek women, This is one of the lovely of art in the colle lea: is the céloring. jorse-shoe Mound,” has mucly of: the feeling of the more subdued parts of ‘our Bad Lands. But again, it is in the color that the picture wins our devotion. Everything is done -in browns and deepest greens of thi landscape that would go to make a icture to live Avith and to love. Were a vote by acclamation to be given, surely it would be acclaimed “our-own.” His “In the Ozarks” is, with “Bess and Jess,” the high: mar! ‘of the exhibit, and holds us art tic surrounding, one will carr; a memory picture of “In the. Ozarks” worth the whole time given to view- ing the collection, -Bismatck should own this picture. Always, for diversion, we have a “set piece” as country folk like to call it. Still life is loveliest in flow- ers, and Cornelia Chorton Weyburn’ “From the Garden,” has been fortui ate in having received the intelligent criticism and analysis of from the east who chanced ‘to be in town. It stood well the test of his ’ arching snalyais La and takes a e in the exhibit. burn Li ey: “Bowl of Grapes” finds. friends among the. visitors for its domestic feeling.

Palmer) e péople of Bismarck are hav- ing a rare:opportunity to receive a real spiritual upfift this week through the Art. Exhibit presented by the Arts and Letters club. These pictures bring us, messages, direct from the hands and minds and souls of living American artists, that God has given us in His out-of- doors signs of Himself, His power and His wonder, that he who runs may read. Robert Browning told us years ago that “We are made so that we love First when we see them puaint- ed, things we have passed Perhaps a hundred times nor cared to see.” Who will not see more color in rolling clouds after seeing Ells- worth Young’s painting of them, or real color in the atmosphere after standing before Grigware’s * “The Boathouse,” Ta “Indiana Hillside,” Jensen’s ing” and “In Ole Virgi: Kraft's “In The Ozarks” and “From Horseshoe Mount”? Grigware’s “Moon Shadows”, Hudson's “Afternoon Sunlight” and Topping’s “Old Willows” make one realize, when he sees them painted, that there is beauty in the most ordinary things, such as fences, weeds, shadows, bright sunlight, and almost naked willow trees. But in addition to showing us beauty, “a picture is ‘a window, through it we look beyond it, down long vistas of thought.” A tech- nical understanding of pictures, of how the artist works and makes his effects, is not necessary, although it adds to an enjoyment of pictures, but an imagination and something to think about are very necessary. To stand before “In Ole Virginia” and look down on the quiet peace- ful cottage, under the trees, and then lift the. eyes to the color and the distance of the wooded moune| tain side, to breathe deev and feel the. earth under one’s feet as in imagination one -follows the trail that is no one knows how old——. Then to return to the house and; discover that certain daubs of paint are chickens and pigs waiting for what chickens and pigs are always waiting for. Jensen’s “Along the Shore,” and Spelman’s “Colored Rocks” bring the sound of breaking waves far, far inland. The rolling waves. bring, too, the smell of water and the fell of the cool breeze, and of; one has had unpleasant experiences ; on the water, other memories arise. The rocks are hard, heavy rocks and the rolling waves, viewed through half-closed eyes, really roll It is given to only a few to creat pictures, but all may enjoy! them and the enjoyment depends quite largely upon what one brings to the | picture, ‘what one has seen, what one has read and felt and lived. Topping’s “Indiana Hillside” and Kraft’s “From Horseshoe Mound” might be places in*the western part | of our own state when the day is gray or the shadows lengthen. Kraft’s “Edve of the Field”, Sanne “Trout Pool”, and oung’s “Along the River” breathe contentment and peace and day; dreams; while Young’s “Thru the, Birches” holds out the lure of what is just out of sight. Kraft’s “Bess and Jess”, and “Interlude” recall | times and experiences not so com- mon in these days of graded roads and automobiles. Weyburn’s. “From A Garden” makes us glad that “God did not make this world without a flower”, and Kerr’s ple of still life. ‘ But the one that, holds. romance for me is Gigwate 's “New England Village”, with the solid bridee and | the ever-flowing stream with all, the mysteries of shadows and un- | Not # bit of in evi- dence but how /many. hi passed over that bridge, and.how much water has flowed under it!
