Far from being restricted to the work of Chicago etchers, this col- lection comprises works by etchers from all parts of the United States, from ngland, Franca Hoiland and other countries of Europe. It is a thoroughly representatlve showing. To those who are watching with Interest the devel- Societ | significant features of this exhibition will be remarked with satisfaction; first, that the American etchers fully hold their own with the best etchers abroad; second, that excellent work is coming, not merely from that scction of the untry cast of the Alieghenies, which is so largely associated in our minds with productiveness in this field, but from all over the country—the Middie and the Far West. Frank W. Benson of Boston, the well { known painter-etcher, is represented by two characteristic works, one of men in canoes in the New England River country, the other of wild fowl. Ralph Pearson, who spends part of his time at Milton-on-the-Hudson and the rest At Santa Fe, N. M., shows a typical ex- ample of w Mexican architecture, rendered distinctly in the modernistic style. ’ There arg two pictures of Washington {—one the Lincoln Memorial as seen | from the river shore, with the Washinz- | ton Monument appearing. over its shoul- {der, the work of Stanley Woodward of Boston; the other a view of the south front of the White House, by Emily | Buriing Waite. While | Will Simmons of New York, the son of the well known mural palnter whose series of “Muses” in the Library of Congress is so justly famous, exhibits an exquisite little | etching, “Humming Bird in Quest.of ctar.” Gabrielle Clements of this | eity exhibits a charming little plcture of Gloucester Harbor. John Taylor Arms, 0 Washington, but now residing in Connecticut, and secretary of the Brooklyn Society of Etchers, exhibits one of hik architectunal themes ren- dered during his recent sojourn abroad —an exquisite piece of work. Alfred Hutty, who is well known here, if not & resident, sends an etching of trees and a figure blown by the wind. E. D. Roth, one of the best of our American etchers, is rep- resented by an etching of an Itallan hill town in the Spring. Arthur Heintzelman shows not only a beau- tiful etching of “The Mother and Child,” but & rendition of a little shop on a side street before which a tiny child is playing. The title of this is “Objects of Art”” Willlam Auerbach Levy shows an etching of a dog snd a cat. Rol Partridgs, W. W. Winkler, Lee Sturges and Thomas Tallmadge are all well represented. Theré is a charming etching by Charles B. Keeler of Cedar Raplds, Iowa, and one scarcely less engaging or meritorlous by George Resler of St. Paul. ‘Among the forelgn etchers repre- sented are Dirk Baksteen of Holland, Martin Harding of London and W. F. Robbins, likewise an Englishman; Lusy of Lausanne, Switzerland, and J. C. Vondrous of Prague. Almost all of these works are mod- erately priced and a number of them will in a short time greatly increase in- value. formerly of * kX Kk UNIQUE and interesting collec- tlon of pictures of ‘our national parks — water colors, by a Swedish artist, Gunnar Widforss—are now on Colfinial California Bungalows 3217-3221 E St. SE. 7 Sold—2 Left Feve large rooms and three porches, electricity, hot- water heat, 15 minutes from Capitol.

Mr. Wid forss studied at Stockholm us a mu- ral painter, and some of his works are in public and private collections abroad. Three vears ago he started out on a trip around the world. Land- ing in California, he determined to remain there long enough to earn, through the medium of' his art, enough money to complete his jour- ney. So fascinated has he. become, however, with our Pacific Coast, and, in particular, our glorious Western scenery, that he has no longer a de- sire to return to Stockholm, and has declared his intention of permanently taking up his residence in this coun- ry. While Mr. Widforss was painting in the Yosemite, ago, Stephen T. Mather, director of |the National Parks Service, met him [and was so favorably impressed by | his skill and accomplishments that he induced him to go on to Zion Na- | tional Park. During the past Sum- mer Mr. Widforss spent several months in the Grand Canyon and Yel- lowstone. The pictures now on view in' the | National Gallery were painted in the | Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon lana Zion National Parks, and in the Bryce Canyon resion, also on the Pa- cific Coast.

The new group| comprises about a dozen and a half | water color drawings of various sizes | |of child types in Bulgaria, Poland,| | Lithuania, Esthonia, Latvia and| | Serbta. It is interesting to note that | whether her subject is a_black-eyed, | dark-skinned youngster of the Philip- | pines, or a blonde little Scandinavian on the shores of the North Sea, Mi Upjohn's children look alike. Pos- sibly this in intentional, to make us understand that children the world | over are the same. Miss Upjohn's| work is of the illustrative type, drawn In charcoal and painted in| transparent wash. Among her new- | est pictures, however, there is noted | a tendency to greater elaboration.! The picturesque and gaily colored costumes of the children she renders with accuracy and skill. * ¥ %k % | DISTINGUISHED Austrian artist, | Leo Katz, has been in Washington this week and arrangements have | been made to hold a private exhibi-| { tion of his works at the Austrian le- | gation some time next month, at which | time Mr. Katz will return to Wash- on art. ) Mr. Katx's style is extremely indi- | vidual, an interesting combination of the old and the new. In spirit afd In- | tentlon he is a modernist, but he is | also traditionally the descendant and | pupil of Holbein and Durer, and da Vinci, the great master draftsman. | His portraits in oils are rather flatly treated, but are peculiarly decorative and interesting. His portraits in| water color, and more still, his silver points, show exquisite draftsmanship | and great refinement in characteriza- tion. * % % | ELLS M.
