Since the last biennial exhibition, held December 20, 1919, the walls of the various salons and hallways on | the second floor of the gallery which i form the background for the paint- ings have all been redecorated in soft gray material, setting off these works of art to the greatest possible advan- tage, while the color of the wood- work throughout also has been { changed to harmonize with the new tones. The permanent collection of the gallery was, as usual, entirely removed to make way for the present exhibit. The single and invariable exception is_the full-length portrait {of the late W. W.

Miss Clara Greenleaf Perry, who has lately taken a studio in this city, is holding an exhibition of paintings and drawings in the large gallery of the Art Center, 1106 Connecticut ave- nue, this week and next. Miss Perry is a Bostonian. She studied under Robert Henri, first in New York, then in Paris, and has been a member of his summer classes in Holland and in Spain, A good half of each year she nrow spends abroad, making her headquarters in the little village de Chavaniac au Avergne, where Lafayette was born and where he grew to manhood. A number of the picturcs in the present exhibition are of this quaint, interesting, old French village with its red-roofed houses climbing the hill. The Chateau de Chavaniac has been into a museum commemorating the two great wars, in which France and America have fought side by side. The upper story houses at present a number of French war orphans adopt- ed by Americans, so the old chateau is serving a double beneficient pur- With the landscapes Miss Perry ex- hibits a number of portraits in pastel and in oil and pastel, two of a young French woman with picturesque red, curly hair, one of the celebrated French aviator, Weiller, brother of the distinguished French ace. There is a portrait of Philippe Millet, the French critic, and one of Pertinax, equally well known as & writer. They are all attractive in color and strong, boldly handled, and, together with the outdoor pictures, while showing. * ok ok ok Miss Edith H. Whitehead, assoclate member of the Royal Minature Socle of London, is showing a group of h with Miss FPerry in the The minature is rapdily coming back into vogue and f its intimate appeal today. Miss Whitehead's work has been ac- cepted for exhibition by the leading miniature societies in this country as well as in England. This is the most comprehensive showing that she has yet made in Washington, where she, too, is a comparative newcomer. ® * ¥ X ¥ The gallery of the Art Center is most attractive and the arts and crafts exhibition with which it was inaugurated was a most unusual and pleasing display. The walls, which are covered with sand-colored burlap, were hung with scarfs of exquisite shade: and on the shelving encircling th room were shown admirable example of hand-decorated porcelain, a work, wood carving, small bronzes, baskets, illuminated manuscripts, lamp shades and the like. * ok ok ok In an adjacent. small gallery were exhibited hand-wrought jewelry and such smal] objects of intrinsic value. Some of thé best work was col tributed by the occupational aids and their pupils at Walter Reed Hospital. This gallery is a great boon to those who have work of an artistic chara ter to exhibit and supplies a very great local need. It is admirably adapted for small exhibition pur- poses.

All Leading Artists Represented. No one artist has more than three pictures in the exhibit, and, with scarcely a single exception, all the leading artists of the United States are represented by at least one paint- ing. A number of artists of great prominenee have works included in the exhibit, but not in the prize com- petition, because their creators have ot some previous Corcoran biennial exhibition won the first prize. A-pro- fusely illustrated catalogue of the present display has been prepared by gallery officials and handsomely printed. An’ interesting fact in_connection with the exhibition is that all the prize winners are young men. Daniel A. Garber, winner of the gold medal, was born in 1880, and is instructor in the school of the Penn- sylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, He has won many prizes, includipg one at_an important exhibit at Ruenos Aires, Argentina, and another at the Panama-Pacific exposition. He has previously won the second and fourth prizes at Corcoran biennial exhibi- tions. He is represented in all the comparatively | of paintings. of Philadélphia, ‘and Victor Higgins|: important art countr Burtis Baker, who received second prize, was’born in 1882, and has lived most of his life in Boston. This is his first year in Washington. He is a member of the staff of the Corcoran School of Art, and this is the first im- portant prize that he has won. John F. Folinsbee of New Hope, Pa., third prize winner, was born in 1892, e has won several prizes in art com- petitions, but this is by far the most important. W. Lester Stevens of Rockport, Ma: who was given fourth award. is in his early thirtles. This is the first prize he has ever won. Descriptive of Exhibition. A comprehensive article concerning the exhibition, written by Miss Leila Mechlin, secretary of the American Federation_of Arts, editor of The American Magazine of Art and for many years the art critic of The Star, appears_in another portion of this issue. Miss Mechlin, whose abilities as an art critic are widely recognized, deals with the present display from a critical and technical standpoint. A careful reading thereof is calculated to be of decided benefit to those in- tending to view the exhibition, which will remain installed until the middle of Januarv. The rotogravure section of today's Star_also devotes an entire page to reproductions of a number of the most beautiful pictures viewed last night, including several of the prize win- ners. collections of this Visitors to Judge Merit. A public referendum as to the merits of the different 'entries will be held beginning the week of January 9. During that week ‘every visitor to the gallery will be given a ballot, on ‘which he or she may indicate choice At the end of the week the ballots will be counted and their results announced. This plan was adopted several yeare ago, and met with immediate favor. It is interesting to note how nearly the judgment of the art-loving public| coincides with that of the profes- sional jury of award. Although it never does reach exactly the same conclusions, the fact has been usually evidenced that a prize winning pic- ture usually carries a general appeal, and, conversely, that the public, and especially the public of the National Capital, recognizes good art when It sees. it.

Folinsbee, entitled Jersey Water Front, which hangs to the left of the Baker prize winner. This is excellent example of the power of an artist to discover and thake patent the inherent but unsuspected beauty in commonplace things. 1t is a homely theme that Mr. Folinsbee has chosen, but it is lovely in his interpretation.

Notable Features. e ing this exhibition as a whole, e Eole features—the number and character of still-life paints and the portraits shown—are most notable. Some years. ago William M. Chase Stood almost alone as a painter of still life, producing works comparable With the works of the great masters. Then Emil Carlsen came forward with still-life paintings of an even subtler sort. Now. in this exhibition there are no less than fifteen painters who in this field make brilliant showing. Frank W. Benson, chairman of the jury, by the way, shows a still-life painting somewhat similar to that now included in the Phillips collec- tion, a superb work. Emil Carlsen shows two beautiful renditions. Le Roy Ireland presents an exquisite transcription of _Persian _pottery. Edith Penman shows, a beautiful painting of & Lowestofthbowl. Victor Higgins présents a group of Indian objects, entitled “Pink and Black, indicative and worthy of his skill. Hugh H. Breckenridge presents a still-life composition which, because of its richness of color, he has quaintly named “The Pirate’s Chest 1. L. Bryant and Maud D. Bryant,; Florence Gotthold and Lillian Meeser) all show admirable flower paintings. Dorothy Ochtman, the daughter of Leonard Ochtman, landscape painter. exhibits a rarely beautiful still-life study. And none makes a better showing in this line than Mathilde Mueden Leisinring of this city, whose “0ld Glass Bowl” has been-given dls- finguished placement in Gallery C. Juliug T. Bloch is represented by a flower painting and a still life, en- titled “Chinese Tray,” of exceptional 1 beauty—to name only a few. { It is a little difficult in some in- stances to know whether to classify certain paintings as “figures” or as “stil] life,” for the underlying purpose of the painter is apparently the same, and people, as things, may be very lovely to look upon ,and mere clothes serve as factors in color compositions. Significant Portrafts. Most interesting in this exhibition are the portraits. Sargent is shown at his best in a little portrait of Charles H. Woodbury, the marine painter—a brilliant performance done with not only the amazing skill, but the wonderful reserve which this great modern master possesses. Scarcely less amazing and masterly is a painting by Giovanni B. Troccoli of Boston of an “Old Lady in a Lace Cap,” a painting extraordinarily sub- tle, simpla and full of personality. Gluseppe Trotta’s portrait of a young girl with & lace collar is painted much in the style of the old Italian masters, a style which apparently has come considerably into vogue.
