The Corcoran Exhibition
WOMAN AND CHILD
his examination of the various methods of meeting
the problems of partial outdoor illumination had
carried him into the room where hangs Robert
Reid’s Evening, he would continue them no
further, for the very good reason that he would
forget all about them. This is the room of Phoebus
Apollo, the headquarters for the full flash of the
sun. Timid visitors peep into it and an echo
murmurs back the name, “Impressionist!” Here
are gathered the four exhibits of Childe Hassam,
including the large canvas called June, which has
already been reproduced and noted in these columns;
a fine rendering of a bit of the North Shore, re-
produced herewith and purchased for the Cor-
coran, and another delightful canvas called The
Blue Kimono. Carl Newman has here one of his
high-keyed paint-
ings in brilliant
colour, called
Woman in Green;
there is a Woman
and Child, by Miss
Cassatt, bought by
the Corcoran; The
Canna, by Robert
Reid, a characteris-
tic arrangement in
figure painting ro-
bust in colour; a
landscape and a
woodland scene by
Willard Metcalf,
and, finally, the
Glover prize can-
vas, Against the
Sky, by Frank W.
Benson. This
shows a girl in light
summer costume
and parasol, her
white veil tossing
in the wind, seen
against a brilliant
sky in the high light
of the summer sun.
It is fresh and airy
in colour and the
painting well in
hand throughout.
The Lowlands of
the Delaware, by
Edward W. Red-
field, to which the
Fischer prize was
awarded, was reproduced in these pages last month
in the article on the exhibition of the National Acad-
emy of Design. The artist showed also his earlier
painting, The River Delaware. Albert L. Groll’s
Land of the ILopi Indian, also reproduced in the
February issue, was on view with his Arizona Clouds.
The former was purchased for the Corcoran’s
permanent collection, as was the latter of the Red-
field paintings. Other purchases included Horatio
Walker’s Ave Maria, Wilton Fockwood’s Peonies,
a delicate piece of flower painting in low colour,
and Winslow Homer’s A Light on the Sea. Two
other paintings by Homer were displayed, Beach
at Long Branch, lent by Robert Vonnoh, and Moon-
light—Woods I stand Light, Maine, lent by George A.
Hearn. ,
