THE EVENING Society of Washington Artists Opens Exhibition Tomorrow The Society of Washington Artists opens its thifty-second annual ex- hibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art tomorrow, As compared to local exhibitions in other cities thls dis- play will be found to admirably hold its own. The majority of the ninety- three paintings included in the cata- logue are essentially modern. There is no question that Washington artists are up to date. Furthermore, the ‘work which is shown is of a distinct- i1y professional character, all of which redounds to its credit. The art of nllnll:s today is pass- of transforma- it may come out tion. Later on _stronger and better for the experi- i ence, but at the present time it suf- fers.’ It is true that what was revo- lutlonary yesterday is academic today, that cl signifies vitalit. But_there 80 a possibility of a pendulum swinging too far in one direction and of liberty even in the matter of artistio expression degen- erating into license. It was once sup- posed that artists painted pictures in order to interpret beauty, to pass on visions of loveliness; not, of course, mere pretty pictures or pictures which told a simple story, but pic- torial representations of things seen, and the truer these Interpretations were the better, Now Have New School. But now we have with us the ex- pressionists whose purpose is not to ven interpret things dium of pictorial art emotions, those feelings which such sights have pro- duced In themselves, regardless of whether these thoughts and feelings are_beautiful or ugly, worthy or un- worthy of preservation and passing on. The formulas which they use are more or less the same and have come into vogue quite generally even among those who are not avowed er- pressionists. In other words the art language of the day is a kind of vernacular, a stenographic code in- telligible only to the initlated. Gone are all the aces of workmanship which mark the works of the master painters. In other words, those who visit current erhibitions today must not expect to find such paintings as they found thereln twenty or even ten years ago, such paintings as adorn the walls of the leading gal- They must realize that a leries of art. cotemporary work is passing through new phase, whether of development or degeneration who shall say, but differ- ent, and must be judged by different standards from those of the past. The first impression that one gets of the current exhibition at the Cor- coran Gallery is of pleasing color, of freshness and of vigor, and this im- pression Is not lost upon closer and more caretul inspection of the ex- hibits. One of the best exponents of the new art and one who interprets it with lmemxenca and genuine artistic Alexis Many, whose paint- Th.

A pinnacle of rock or earth projects against a back- ground of mountainous clouds or snow-covered mountains and gives a sense of dizzy height, a stupendous spaciousness. To his landscaDe of “Arizona” the place of honor has been given on the flat wall, but It is much more usual than the former. Mr. Many also contributes a very en- gaging picture of flowers, asters of fous colors massed, painted purely 8 a decorative color scheme. Gets First Prise, The first prize, silver medal, was awarded by a committee composed of Ernest Bryant, Eben Comins and G. W. Gettler to a painting of flowers by Miss Sarah Munroe, which has the ' place of honor on the semi-circular Munroe has studied with and is chiefly interested in interpreting effects of light. an extent she may be ranked with the impressionists, but she has also been for several years in the guard of the new movemént. The prize picture shows a bowl of flowers on a table against an open window, and the canvas {s_unquestionably flooded with light. It is also pleas- ing in color, but one must not stand too near in order to see it. Some- what in a similar vein is her paint- ing entitled “A Summer Day. a young woman reclining in a chair before an open window. Mary S. Riley, to whom the second prize.” for a painting entitled “Cagnes.” was awarded. has contrib- uted also a still-lite painting. Her prize picture is well drawn, subtle, atmospheric in effect and artistic, but seems to lack a little accent. For her painting entitied Light. New York,” Mr: Phillips was tion.

Eleanor Parke Custis’ Work. Eleanor Parke Custls, who belongs to the younger group of local artlsts, and whose work the past few years has been steadily growing In strength and artistic quality, seems to have joined the modernists’ camp, for her two contributions, “October Green™ and “A Village Street,” are rendered somewhat in the style of Prendegast —flat colors, black outlines and an appearance of embroldery rather than brush work. On_ the other hand, Catherine C. Critcher contributes a'portrait of an Indian child and a sketch of a Pueblo Indian which are distinctly more con- servative than anything she has done for some years. Both of these were painted last summer at Taos, N. Mex The former shows beauty of tone, re- finement of finish and charm of sur- face which place it on a high plan To be sure, all of the paintings in this exhibition are not modernistic in tendency. There are some who fol- low old traditions and on a& whole seem to have a regard for_the amenities_of beauty. Marion Boyd Allen of Boston contributes a very To | an- | &iven' honorable men- ' | | STAR WASHINGTON, D. CHIEF BACONRIND, By M.

And Dorsay Doni- r han's portrait of “Sam Hlld. l Study n Light,” is admirable for its sturdi. ness and strength. In her self-portrait Bertha Noyes displays a skillful but not altogether successful handling of a diffcult problem. Arthur Musgrove sends a painting entitled “Calm at Eventid a study of a sunset across a broad stretch of calm water. W. §.

Brown sends not only “Granite Quarry at Pigeon Cove” but “Red Houses at Gloucester,” which give indication of unusual ability. Edith Hoyt's “Over the Dorset Downs,” "Albert L.
