Mowbray Paintings To Be Placed on View at the Corcoran Gallery of Art—Models and Drawings of a Greater BY LEILA MECHLIN. GROUP of ulnllngl by the late H. Siddons Mowbray will be placed on view Tuesday at the Coreoran Gallery of Art, in the Jarge south room in which, for the past xm.nm:c have been shown Lydia Bush-Brown's silk murals. These paintings, 18 in number, are all easel pictures and of religious subjects, but, though of moderate size, they take in a measure of the character of mural decorations, and thus admirably repre- sent one who is to be counted among the most accomplished mural paiuters which this country has produced. H. Siddons Mowbray was born of English parents in Egypt, in 1858, and died at his home in Washington, Conn., in January, 1928. His father, John Henry Siddons, a banker, died when he was only a year old. His mother rs- turned to England and then came to this country because her sister had married an American chemist named Mowbray and settied here. Mrs. Sid. dons met death shortly after her arrival in New York, and the little orphan boy was not only taken into the hcme of th& Mowbrays. but adopted. given their name and brought up ten- derly happily and wisely by them. -His, turning to art as a profession was one of those inexplicable things which so often happen—the result of an inward urge which would meet no denial. At the conclusion of his schoolboy days H. Siddons Mowbray went to Paris and studied, first in the atelier of Bonnat and later with other masters. A very homesick boy he was at firs, but he soon made friends and became very happy in his work. Those were interesting days for the American stu- Paris. While still & student he and a fellow student, Henry Walker, went for a trip to Spain, made under difficult circumstances but fully com- ted for by the Velasquez's in adrid, which he studied and copied dl“g!nuy Returning to America about 1883, he commission for a panel 3 feet by 6, to in the Athletic Club's Washington. Gallery will be able themselves to con- sider and decide. Those who haye seen these pictures believe them to be epoch- marking and cherish the hope that they will find permanent placement in some " church or cathedral where they may be permanently on view and where the public can seek and see them at all times. . L T, 'UCH interest was shown last week in the group.of portraits by Prof. Michailow, exhibited from the twenty- first to the twenty-fourth, inclusive, at the Mayflower Hotel, opening on Mon- day afternoon with a private view in the Chinese room. Prof. Michailow, it will be remem- bered, is a Bulgarian painter, and his works all give evidence of sound aca- demic training, artistic instinct and real command of medium. The method which this painter employs is the tradi- ticnal one of painting what one sees, not merely imitating but as far as possible reproducing textures, form, character. And to the majority it is the logical and pleasing method. Before the days of photography, when persons wished to preserve for ail time either their likeness or that of some one beloved or great, the portrait paint- er was called in, not essentially as an artist, but as a skilled craftsman, and the portrait became more or less a his- torical document. It is an interesting fact that under these circumstances portrait painting flourished as it has not since, and that even among those in this country of comparatively small experience and training, works were produced which in some instances can- not be matched today with all of cur knowledge and sophistication. Prof. Michailow paints in a measure with the same purpose as did these por- trait painters of the past—to satisfy his sitters, to create likeness. And he accomplishes his end skillfully and, in some instances, delightfully, His trait of Dr. Panaretoff, former Bulga- rian Minister to the United States, i= excellent, a sound piece of painting and an admirable likeness. His portrait of his daughter, Miss Olga Michailow, has in it not only personality, likeness, but also picturesque effect. Included in the group were two por- traits of Mrs. R. M. Kauffmann, one commission, the other for interesting works, the latter, ‘haps, the more spirited of the l'o.mthwn lacking some of the charm of former. The place of honor was given to a portrait of the wife of the German Ambassador, and portraits of Miss Mary Elisabeth Mohun, Miss Bernice Smith, Island, a work which in later years con- but whlch favor- mural - decorations for the University Club, New York—works which were to Senorita Patricia Mencia and Frau Kiep, each in a’'rather different mood, were noteworthy.

Mrs. Hawthorne has never exhibited in Washington before, except her single contributions made to the Corcoran Gallery’s biennial exhibitions, memora- ble among which, included in the latest of these, was an exquisitely painted study of pond lilies. As the wife of one of our foremost American painters and art teachers, Mrs, Hawthorne has un- doubtedly had the advantage both of -uochunn and instruction of the best 'l'hese exhlbltlom will continue for a fortnight. TE ok ok % ANOTHER local artist, J. C. Backus, will make an initial showing as a professional at the Yorke GIHCI'! this week. Mrs. Backus has been painting only a little over three years and with- dut instruction. One of her first works, an interior, was included in the soclety of Washington Artists’ 1927 annual ex- hibition. She exhibited again with the soclety in 1928, and in 1929 one of her works was included in the Yorke Gal- lery’s Spring exhibition. This exhibi- tion is being held in order to give her friends an opportunity to see what she has done, and to give herself the benefit of comment and criticism. * ok k% ANNOUNCBMENT is made that from February 8 to 26 a collection of sculpture by Edgardo Simone will be ex- hibited in the National Gallery of Art, United States National Muse: He served during the World War as & volunteer private and was d with the Croix. de Guerre.

He had prophesied the revival and had done much to br! it on, but more than one enthusiast of free verse went to some pains to indi- cate that Woodberry was out of date and should on no account be lis- tened to. Of course, this verdict upon him had ture and he had a, feeling for the Eng- lish rather than for the American lan- guage. It is true also that he was in the best sense of the word a singer; poetry was for him not conversation, but music. Any one whose preoccupa- tion was with the superficial aspects of poetry would of course have to part company with him. 1 think, however, that it was tragic for cotemporary poets to be so super- ficial as not to recognize the content of Woodberry’s poetry. He was more generous than they toward writers of & different tradition from him and to- ‘ward the future in which he llllh! hl" no part.
