Ten years earlier would be more nearly correct, Whether gorrect historically or not, however, these four eostume studies of other and earlier days are sharmingly rendered, with a real sense of pic- forial quality and exceptional freedom of brush work. Furthermore, it is gratifying to find an artist ready and able to make merry; the tend- ancy of our art today is to be infinitely too Bolemn Mr. Hoover shows chiefly outdoor pictures— ®ccording to announcement, “landscapes”—but %is landscapes are chiefly city pictures, street scenes, buildings, not landscapes at all, but for none the less attractive.

Other Notes of Local Art and Artists. “Impression of Myself,” & portrait by Louise Rochon Hoover. Hoover’s works distinctly enhance their value, while the measure of success already attained gives assurance of still greater achievement. Arummmmmfi_nm. and Mrs. Charles E. Hoover are shown in the auditorium of the Arts Club an exhibition of paintings executed in four different mediums by R. Arcadius Lyon are set forth in the adja- cent drawing room and dining room. Mr. Lyon is a New Englander, a member of the Boston Art Club, and at present working in the re- search department of the Fogg Museum at Har- vard University. These paintings, of which there are 23, are in tempera, oil, pastel and water color, and are chiefly landscapes, flower studies and decorative paneis. Tempera is a medium which was used by the early Italian painters, but which, until comparatively lately, has fallen into disuse. The base of the medium is usually egg or other albuminous substance, rather than oil or Mr. Lyon uses the medium likewise with skilt, but in a manner completely individualistic. His . -“Qld .

Possibly, however, the terms “abstract” and “intense” 50 used may, have technical reference not commonly undere stood. Painting of this sort seems te fall be- tween two stools, literalism on the one hand and pure decoration on the other. But from the standpoint of experiment, originality, it is interesting at the moment. NTEREST in etching, woodblock. prints, lithographs, etc., by contemporary artists is undoubtedly increasing. The Grand Central Art Galleries, New York, which up to the pres- ent time has limited its displays to paintings and sculpture, announces the addition of a print gallery for the exhibition exclusively of works by American artists, Through the initia- tive of Prof. Marques E. Reitzel of Rockford College, Ill, an American College Soclety of Print Collectors has been organized, which will yearly issue to its members two prints by foremost etchers from plates specially boy who has attained in this particular fleld to foremost distinetion. 3 lately been miade an associate ART SCHOOLS.
