\ ' THE SUNDAY STAR, FEBRUARY 6, 1921—PART 1 Washington Water Color Club Makes Exhibition Which Opened at Corcoran Gallery on Friday Upholds Its Standard—Other News and Notes of Washington Artists. w The Washington Water Color Club's annual exhibition, which opened at the Corcoran Gallery of Art on F¥- day, contains many works of more than passing interest,and uphelds the same high standard of merit aa the Society of Washington Artists' éxhibi- tion, which it immediately -follows. There is an amazing variety, both in subject and treatment, and withal @ freshness of viewpoint manifests itself with pleasing insistence. s is said that water colors are less popular in this country than in Eng- land, and England is, it is true, the best patron this medium has ever had. The English have delighted in water color as a medium and have wused it well. The British method has been chiefly that of pure wash and Quite different from the method em- ployed by the modern school of Dutch artists, who resorted most frequently to opaque body color. It is possible to imitates in water color both oil paintings and pastels, but the water olorist of greatest distinction is he who takes advantage of the medium’s own characteristics and converts its limitations into opportunities. It is interesting to note that the tendency of today displayed in this and other exhibitions is to return to the use of pure, transparent color. Far from being weak, works 8o ren- dered are apt to possess greater bril- liancy of color, as well as spontaneity of effect. A notable feature of this exhibition is a group of water colors by Lesley M. Jackson, painted in Japan, from where she has just returned after a year's ab- sence. ese are all rather elaborate compositions, showing typical Japanese architecture, and including in most in- stances numerous figures painted not after the Japanese, but in the most ap- proved western manner, _structuraily strong, broadly rendered and delightful in color and tone. Likewise of exceptional interest and significance are the contributions, five in number, by Elizabeth Sawtelle, an expo- the Woodbury school of paint- ing, who shows in her work this year complete mastery of medium, a3 well as a delightful breadth of vision. Among ber exhibits are a painting of the cove at Ogunquit, a wood interior, and a painting of a bowl of flowers—marigolds . 3nd lafkspur. In point of merit these three are on a par, but as a briliant piece of technique the still life Inting is prt-eminent. It is in pure color, broadly washed in, and has the sparkle which is usually associated with works in pastel. Seldom does one see flowers 80 sul and exquisitely painted. Felicle Ho , who has made a suc- cess of her pictures of houses and streets, is represented in this exhibition by paintings of the White House and of John's Church, both clever and in- dividual, but slighter and less important than her usual contribytions. ‘There is a certain similarity between the work of Miss Howell and Miss Jane Peterson, to whose “Village Street” the place of honor on the semi-circular wall has been given. Miss Peterson Is per- haps more obvious and less subtle, but her work has distinct Interest and charm. also represented in this exhibition by & Gloucester landscape, a picture of the little town basking in the as seen from warm light of across the harbor through a group of P painting of & Gloucester ship; H.

Elizabeth Cole sends a charming com- position of Ophelia roses delightfully rendered. And there are excellent still- ife paintings by Mary P. Goddard Francis Hungerford Combs, Esther M. roome, Mrs. T. E. Maritz and Eliza- beth Mulhoter. Amy Pleadwell, Alice Willoughby. Mary K. Porter., Eva Brooke Donley an: Gladys Brannigan all send flowery gar- den pictures which will undoubtedly find avor. Corinne Cunningham Collins makes excellent showing with a. landscape en- titled A Farm in Alabama” and a pic- ture of an old house on Prince street, Alexandria. From F. M. lLamb of Stoughton, Mass., come two charming spring land- scapes, colorful and atmospheric. Benson Moore is well represented by landscapes rendered in a manner unique and entirely his own. Edgar N. Nye shows a landscape painted broadly and in rather a high key, less impressive and significant, however, than his works in oils, lately shown in the exhibition of the Society of Washington Artists. A beautiful wood Interior has been contributed John F. Carlson, for- merly of We tock, N. Y., now of Colo- rado 8 And from Alexander Hudput has come a most picturesque rendering of ‘“The Hathaway Cottage." In the small anteroom to the special exhibition .gallery are shown not only a of the more Intimate water col- quite & “collection of etchings and drawings, works in tint and black and white. Here are two delightful lit- tle etchings of New York by Helen Breege Walcott, a comparatively new exhibitor, with etchings of an extremely accomplished type by Gabrielle de V. Clements and wood block prints by Tod Lindermuth, one of the most skillful! users of medium. Ellen Day Hale shows an exquisite drawing of poplars, and ‘Miss Clements is also represented by a figure draying resembling in effect a silver-print. In the main gallery a case of minia- ONE OF A GROUP OF WATER COLORS MADE IN JAPAN BY MISS LESLEY M. JACKSON. | Xotzel.

And, after all, the best prize that an artist can receive for his work is its pur- chase. There are some, in fact, who would do away with all other kinds of prizes. Competitions are proverbially dis- appointing. Like laws, they can only be framed to benefit the greatest number; they can never be 100 per cent just. Prize juries are human, hence” not infallible, and medals of honor do not always insure eventual purchases. Under these circumstance they are apt to become a mockery. But a painting, and particularly purchased for a permanent tion, is a stimulus to further effort. An artist paints undoubtedly for the love of art and from a desire to hand on to others a pleasure which he him- self has experienced, but there is little inspiration to continue to point out beauty to those who turn their backs, or to repeat a message which is apparently not understood It is for this reason even more than for commercial considerations that sales and the right kind of patronage are essential to the development and production of art. A most interesting group of etch- ings by a Swed etcher, Ernst Nor- lind by name, is now on view in the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Five or six of these etchings arc of birds—vul- tures, ravens and flamingos—and the eteher’s presentation is after the decorative manner which the artists | of the orient employ. There is a cer- tain similarity in Norlind's work to that of his distinguished countryman, Anders Zorn. This similarity is more evident in Norlind’'s etchings of fig- ures and heads than in his etchings of birds and animals. His treatment, when it come to portraiture, is almost brutally vigorous, but it has a sin- cerity and robustness that are to be accounted as of genuine worth. Ernst Norlind was born in the most southern province of Sweden, Skane. n 1877. He graduated from the Uni versity of Lund in 1898, and diately began the study of art under He is a member of the leading pro- fessional art organizations of Sweden and his works are included in some of the foremost museums. He known as an etcher, but he also paints in oils. The subjects he chooses are landscapes and figures, and he has made a specialty of animals and birds. Like Zorn, his work is peculiarly Swedish in character, possessing gaunt strength and being rendered with great directness.

With these are to be geen, most notable, three mmaflillllllh portraits by Margaret Foote Hawley, two excellent portraits and a bit of a flower en by Bertha Perrie and two distinctly unusual portrait studies of rather larger size than is common by Lucy M. Stanton, one of her brother in military uniform: another of an old negro, “Uncle George. * k ok % Much interest has been aroused by the announcement made last week of the gift by Senator Clark of $100,000 to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, to perpetuate the Willium A. Clark prizes, awarded biennlally at the Cor- coran Gallery's exhibitions of cotempo- rary American painting. It is indeed @ generous gift, and it was undoubtedly inspired by & desire on, the part of the donor to furthe, stimulate, through o\;mpetmm{?I h"l‘rtl: marit in preduction. e prizes have in the past ag- rogated 35,000, there being a firet rize of $2,000, a.second prize of J & third prise of $1,000 and a fourth prise of $500. The probabil- ities are that they will not be in- creused in amount nor added to nu- merically. 0 uniess the exhibitions become ‘annual affairs there should be & surplus from the income every second year of approximately $7,000. The details in regard to the dispo- sition of the gift have not all been determined. but it is greatl: hoped that the directors of {hc Cor- coran Gallery will see fit and Senator Clark will gonsent to having _this surplus used as e purchesing fund, » 8t the same time ample in expression, * k% ¥ An exhibition comprising paintings by Miss Sarah Munroe and Miss Cath. erine C. Critcher of this city was opened at the Arts Club, 2017 I street, last Wednesday and will continue on view for a period of two weeks. Miss Munroe is represented by sev- enteen paintings. Miss Critcher con- tributed nine. There is a sympathy, it not a himilarity, in the work of these two painters which makes such & joint exhibition peeuliarly appro- priate. Both have a keen color sense and are painters of trained ability, fully abreast of the times. Miss Munroe, it will be rememb, received one of the awards in® tes goclel{ of Washington Artists’ recent annual exhibition for a painting of young women seated in a sun-flooded pergola—a plcture full of the illu- slon of atmosphere and light. Her summer home and studio is at Prov- incetown, Mass, and it is there that the majority o fthe picttures in thi exhibition were painted.
