T the Art Center, Connecticut avenue and L street, an inter- esting little no-jury exhibition A is now being held. This ex- hibition marks the installation of the newly elected officers—Mr. Zolnay. president, and Mr. Clephane, secre- tary—and inaugurates the exhibition season of 1922-23. It unquestionably sets & high standard and should cre- ate a favorable impression, auguring well for the future. g The artists have contributed gener- ously and of their best. Richard Meryman has sent his very unusual portrait of Dean Wilbur and Burtis Baker has contributed a figure study in his best mode. There is a large canvas, a_woman _and child, by the late Max Bohm, which recalls the ex- cellent exhibition of this artist’s work held at the Art Center last season and emphasizes the loss occasioned by his recent death. Bryant Baker is represented by a characteristic inte- rior, a picture of a young girl seated at an old-fashioned table in an at- tractive living room. Catherine C. Critcher sends two of her Indian figure paintings, both done at Taos, N. M, and of virile character. Mr. Rolle, who is treasurer of the Na- tional Art Center and a prominent member of the Landscape Club, is Well represented by a picture of boats on a beach. Lillian Cook Doherty shows a snow picture of much charm. Marguerite Munn and Gladys Brannigan both make notable contributions. In short. it Is an engaging showing and one which goes far toward in- dicating the admirable work that is being done in local studios here in our midst. * k k% HERE are three one-man exhibi- tions at the Arts Club at present. In the lower exhibition room is to be seen a collection of ofl paintings by Cameron Burnside, whose works is per- haps better known abroad than at home on account of long residence in France and for lack of showing in this country. It instantly, however, proclaims its merit, evidencing a kin- ship with the best work of the French ionist school, but at the same | itnessing to individuality of | viewpoint. The landscapes by Mr. | Burnside now on view are painted in | a high key, are lovely in colon, atmos- | pheric and extremely artistic, a de- light to see. On the upper floor, in the main tront gallery, paintings by Grace Deike of Cleveland, Ohio, are set forth. This is the first exhibition that Miss Deike has held in the east. | She is a strong painter and has evident keen appreciation of the value of form and of the importance of de- sign. Her compositions have inter- | esting pattern. She is a modernist in point of view. but not of the extreme order, and there is that in her work ! o THE SUNDAY which promises greater accomplish- ment in the future, . In the adjacent rear gallery the walls are bung with a collection o Wood-block Drints and water colors, matted but not framed, by Harry De Maine. These, too, are exce nrly attractlve, intimate little studies, fresh in color, well composed, tech- nically worthy. Curiously enough, the wood-block prints are more subtle than the water-color renderings, but for this reason none the less pleasing. That the Arts Club should int duce three such excellent artists as these simultancously to Washington art lovers gives occasion for gratitude and puts a feather in the cap of its present exhibition committee, * ok ok X 7THE Corcoran Gallery of Art has been showing this past week In the cases usually occupied by etch- ings, in its atrium, pages from the great follo entitled “The Holy Ex- periment,” gotten out by Violet Oak- ley, the distinguished mural painter.

The volume is published in a lim- ited edition in the interest of peace. It is & monumental work, represent- ing the acme of art both from the creative side and in the fleld of me- chanical reproduction. It was pub- lished by subscription and Is to be found in the libraries of some of the leading universities. During the past summer editions in foreign languages were issued and exhibitions of such pages as were shown here were held in Spain and in England, where it A O §75 L0 S'.fARz WASHINGTON, D. C.
