PROFILE PORTRAIT OF SAMUEL BREARLEY
BY LOUIS ST. GAUDENS

MR. Louis ST. GAUDENS, after a considerable
period of inactivity, has again returned to his
chosen work in a profile portrait of Samuel Brear-
ley, which was made for the school which Mr.
Brearley founded. We are glad to be able to repro-
duce herewith a photograph of this graceful and
dignified piece of modelling.
THE RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN held
its exhibition of the work of the students of the
school last month. An exhibition of water colours
by Dodge MacKnight was recently shown there,

comprising most of his recent work in Spain, to-
gether with several New England winter land-
scapes. Most of these had been loaned by Mr.
Desmond Fitzgerald and Mr. Denman W. Ross.
Mr. Willard L. Metcalf, who recently undertook
the supervision of the work of the more advanced
students in drawing and painting in the school,
exhibited some of his recent landscapes, important
among which were the TffM Pcwd, and
.Boo^May -Hay&or, recently shown in the ex-
hibition of the "Ten American Painters," the
Cove and PeJ AfayfM.
Ai THE SEMi-ANNUAL CONCOURS of the Eric Pape
School of Art, Boston, the following awards were
made:

traiture, Albert R. Thayer, of Boston; Decorative Design,

THE ADAPTATION OF THE SCIENCE OF PHOTOG-
RAPHY to the production of truly esthetic and in-
trinsically valuable works of art is the effort of the
Buffalo Camera Club, and the results it has
already .achieved, as shown at its late exhibition
are encouraging even with such a high standard
as it puts forward. The organization hopes to
accomplish much in the direction of the pictorial
movement in photography. The difficulties in the
path of the camera worker are exceptional. The
lens and sensitive plate are thoroughly indifferent
to selective ideas. Add to this, that the work is
limited to monotone and that the colour values are
not the same as those registered by the ordinary
eye and the effects arrived at with facility by the
painter must been seen to be out of the range of the
camera. The loyal acceptance of these limits is the
first secret of worthy work. Such photographs as
the study of Fog and the J5oa^ e/ RoraMry, by
G. E. Keller and John M. Schreck, respectively—
to mention only two of the photographs exhibited
—are well worthy of serious praise.
W. CoLE BRIGHAM will conduct his sketch class
for the ninth season at Shelter Island, beginning
with daily criticisms after the 6rst of the month.
