free in technique, and essentially decorative in
quality.
W. B. Van Ingen’s well-composed decoration
for a library is conceived in the artist’s broad
method of design and technique.
A strong piece of painting is Edward Gay’s
Ilissos, a decoration for a public building.
Messrs. Valiant, Lichtenauer and Marshall show
studies for decorations. Thos. Watson Ball strikes
a new note in his suggestions for decorations.
Mr. E. W. Deming, who recently won the com-
petition for a municipal decoration, exhibits his
Young Hiawatha.
From Genevieve Cowles and the d’Ascenzo studios
there are sketches and
cartoons for stained glass.
Mr. Fred Dana Marsh
undertakes the decora-
tive rendering of the
uncouth laborer in a
canvas called The Ex-
cavators. Mr. Marsh
understands the dignity
and beauty of labor.
Miss Enid Yandell’s
Citizenship is good in
composition, and is
broadly, freely modeled.
This is a fragment of
the important Thomas
monument at Nashville,
Tenn. arts and craets work
The Study for a Garden Group, by
Emil Siebern, possesses the qualities
of the greater side of sculpture.
Mention must be made of William
Ordway Partridge’s graceful compo-
sition, Howier Reading the Iliad;
Miss Janet Scudder’s charming little
Frog Fountain; Mr. Eli Harvey’s
studies of Lion and Lioness; Mr.
Tonetti’s details for fountains; Ed-
ward R. Smith’s Clock Tower and
Fountain, and Mr. Martiny’s sculp-
ture for the Hall of Records.
Edith Barretto Stevens exhibits a
well-designed model for a drinking
fountain for horses, which is appro-
priately decorated with a very low
bronze relief of classic horses.
The Municipal Art Society, under
the able guidance of the President,
Mr. William Jerome Coombs, is
considering many projects for the ar-
tistic betterment of the municipality, among others
the placing of tablets in Central Park commem-
orative of the landscape architects, Calvert Vaux
and Frederick Law Olmsted, who were its designers.
A tablet will also be placed at Police Headquar-
ters upon which will be inscribed from time to time
the names of the heroes of the Department.
The summer exhibition of the Worcester, Mass.,
Art Museum, opens May 29th, closing September
20th. The summer exhibition of the Cincinnati
Museum opening May 23d continues on view
through July. The Minnesota State Art Society’s
exhibitions close July 7th.
