O less than six important exhi- bitions are now simultaneous- 1¥ in progress in this city. At the Corcoran Gallery of Art wre o be seen a memorial exhibition of paintings by the late William M Chase and a special exhibition of etchings and silver points by Robert Fulton Logan. At the Art Center,on Connecticut avenus, there is a col- lection of oil paintings by Max Bohm, vice president of the Mural Painters of New York, together with landscape paintings by Theo Morgan of this city. At the Arts Club, 2017 I street, there are two one-man exhibitions— water colors by Gertrude B. Bournc of Boston. and oil paintings, figures and landscapes by Truman Fassett. At the Smithsonian Institution, in the division of graphic arts, is a_compre- liensive and delightful exhibition of etchings by Bertha E. Jaques, secre- tary of the Chicago Society of Etch- while at the Venable Galleries is now being shown a collection of paintings in oil and water color by Arthur F. Musgrave. e HIZ Chase exhibition at the Cor- coran Gallery of Art is of very great interest. Mr. Chase was not only a great painter and an accom- vlished ~ techniclan, but a great |tone and the fineness of texture of {an old piece of lacquer. “The Fish- monger's Shop,” which hangs nearby, recalls the story of how Mr. Chase's first fish picture was painted and of the generous way in which he went back after its sale to repay the fish- monger for his courtesy in furnishing the original model, There are few names greater in the history of American art than that ot William M. Chase. and the reason for [this is not the long list of medals and honors that he received nor the number of notable artist organiza- tions to which he belonged, but rather his extraordinar: accomplishment. The Metropolitan Museum of Art owns his “Lady in Bla " the Penn- sylvania Academy his “Lady with a White Shawl” and the Museum of the Rhode TIsland School of Design his “Lady in Pink.,” all three of which are masterpieces and will, one may be assured, hold their place as such among the art treasures of the world. They are grave, dignified, competent works, beautifully executed, genuinely dlstinguished. To have such an as- semblage of paintings by this master is included in the present exhibi- tion shown here constitutes indeed an {event of note. TTHE Max Bohm paintings at fhe Art Center are likewlise primarily toneful in quality, but they are very |different in style from the paintings by Chase. Chase painted persons in “PORTRAIT OF MRS.

In painting this ortrait Mr. Chase collaborated with rving R. Wiles. There are two por- raits of the Chase daughters in this oxihibition and a second one of the #on, painted presumably at about the same time as the double portrait with his mother. There is also a portrait of Edward Steichen, the pictorial photographer, and there are quite a Dimber of interesting figure pain ings, such as “The Blue Gown. “Dieudonnee” and “Dorothy, Helen ‘mnd Bob.” There is an excellent por- wrait of Mr., Chase by himself, and is_quite a series of fish pic- of which that owned by the n Gallery s an excellent ex- erhaps the best.

In contrast to this, but no less atrac- tive. is his picture of an old man and a lad in a sailboat. In both pic- tures the wind is blowing, the figures are in motion. In the latter, the old ‘man, with his hand on the tiller, leans forward watching the sea with the sea-faring man’s keenness and 1n- tensity. ~More imaginative still, and also more vague, is his picture of the Norsemen, a group of half-wild creatures. nude, confronting the ele- ments, glad and unafraid. His portraits of his own children, which are Included in this exhibi- tion, are tender and sympathetic and are mot a little in the spirit of Car- riere, whose lovely works in the Luxembourg are known to all. They contrast interestingly and agreeably with the bolder compositions ren- dered with. so much breadth and strength, and in their reticence and subtlety evidence the versatility of the artist. LIR.
