Somanunm N [ - - w N Notes of Art an exhibition have been artists. This year they will all be lJaymen and museum directors, for with Mr. Minnigerode will serve Robert B, Harshe, director of the Art Institute of Chi- cago, and Meyric Rogers, director of the City Art Museum, St. Louis. The Carnegic Institute omitted its internae tional exhibition last year and will limit it in its scope this year. The thirty-first interna- tional will consist of about 350 paintings, of which 125 will be from the United States and 225 from Europe. All will be directly invited by the institute. The awards will be $1,500 first prize, $1,000 second prize and $500 third prize, in addition to which the Garden Club of Allegheny County will offer a prize of $300 for the best painting in the exhibition of a garden or flowers. Homer Saint-Gaudens, director of fine arts at the Carnegie Institute, has gone to Europe to visit the studios of European artists and to invite works to be shown in Pittsburgh this Autumn. N the art gallery at Howard University from April 26 to May 15 will be shown a collec- tion of works of art hy Negro artists, assem- bled and lent by the Harmon Foundation. These exhibitions have become in recent years annual affairs and have undoubtedly done much to stimulate Negro artists. Ten or more years ago an exhibition was held here in the Dunbar High School of paintings, drawings and designs by Negro artists—not only those in Washington, but throughout the coun- try. The showing evinced promise, but was comparatively feeble, only a few outstanding works being shown among the many. But since the Harmon Foundation has sponsored the competitive exhibitions in New York, later eir- culated throughout the country, great strides have been taken. Each year the work entered and shown is of far better character. This year’s exhibition, according to New York critics, is far the best yet. Those who have followed the development of Negro artists in recent years will undoubtedly find it of notable interest. Nofr only in painting and design have Negroes been manifesting special gift of late, but in the related fields of music, literature and drama. No play has been more widely and genuinely popular during the past year than “The Green Pastures,” played by Negro actors most artistically and well. When “The Green Pastures” was given in Washington recently Louise Kidder Sparrow made a portrait study of Daniel Leo Haines as Herzdel Adam, achiev- ing exceptional success both in the matter of modeling and expression. Mrs. Sparrow is an indefatigable worker and her portrait busts have called forth much Praise as likenesses. But in this head she has 18. Publicly accuse. 19. Peminine name. 21. Large lake. 23.

Among the works in- cluded will be Mr. Brewer's portraits of Pad- erewski, of Justices Willis Van Devanter, George Sutherland and Pierce Butler of the United States Supreme Court and of Mr. P. A. Delano and Qlifford K. Berryman of this city. T the Washington Cathedral on Mount St. Alban last Monday at mid-day an inter- esting ceremony took place featuring a work of art. At that time an advance copy of Violet Oakley’s portfolio, “Law Triumphant,” was nre- sented to the Cathedral for placement in its library, the gift of the Junior League of Phila- delphia. This portfolio contains reproductions in color of the mural paintings by Miss Oakley in the Supreme Court room of the State Capi- tol of Pennsylvania at Harrisburg, entitled “The Opening of the Book of the Law,” with notes from the addresses delivered at the unveiling of the paintings May 23, 1927, by George Wharton Pepper, then United States Senator from Pennsylvania, and Robert Von Mosch- zosher, then chief justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; also an address by the artist in explanation of the theme of the 16 panels, based upon “The Octave of the Law.” The second part of this portfolio is called “The Miracle of Geneva” and includes 55 re- productions of the Geneva drawings—portraits of those in attendance at the eighth, nihth and tenth assemblies of the League of Nations in 1927, 1928 and 1929. The accompanying text is from the journal of the artist while in Geneva during those three visits. These drawings, which were exhibited some time ago in the Cor- coran Gallery of Art, are divided into three groups: Delegates to the assembly, members of the permanent secretariat, and the international labor office, and visitors and observers; besides which there is a picture of the Coumcil of the League gathered around the horseshoe table ir the famous “Glass Room.” The theme of the law series traces the steps of human progress in the development of the idea of law from earliest times to the present “showing an essential unity of substance be- neath a startling difference of form.” It indi- cates the peculi value of the constitution made by William Penn as a lawgiver, pointing out its relation to the codifying of international law in our own day, to disarmament, security and peace. The edition of this portfolio is limited to 300 copies. It is a quarto volume in leather covers with metal clasps. The illustrative plates, of which there are 71, are loose-leaf. The text is in a beautiful type and printed on San Marco paper. The portfolio was issued by the i il o ol s BERRE 150. Ancient history. 152. Defensive armor. 155. Rodent. 156. Afirm. 157.

Miss Oakley, accompanied by her close triend and colleague, Miss Edith Emerson, who is also a mural painter, attended the presentat«on ceremony. T would be difficult to imagine a greater cone trast in style and character of works of art than between the works of Olive Rush and those of Gordon Grant, which were simultane« ously placed on view in the Arts Club last Sunday. Olive Rush in her water colors is vesy subtle, imaginative, following fairly closely the ideals of the great painters of China of cemw turies ago. She suggests much more than she tells. When she paints animals—deer and others—it is with almost mythical touch, a8 though they were personified, psychically intere preted. They are ghost pictures of those who live in forests and on the plains, and her lande scapes seem to have been painted to give them a place in which to live—environment. Gordon Grant, on the other hand, is § realist, an illustrator, one who in his paintings, drawings, etchings deals with things that can be seen and handled—boats, people, places-= and for the most part they are doing something, in action. More will understand Mr. Grant’s works than Miss Rush’s. There is place for both and it is extremely interesting to see them in conjunction. UST as these notes were going to press amm nouncement was received of the death #a Detroit of William H. Holmes, for many years closely associated with art in Washington as president of the Washington Water Color Club and director of the National Gallery of Art In scientific as well as art circles he had herg many devoted friends. = GOAT MILK Rich, pure and nutritious From Faun Dairy Farm Daily delivery to your home VITA HEALTH FOOD CO. 3121 14th St N.W. _ 1228 H 8t.
