In the Galleries
Mr. Macbeth, at the time of going
to press, had arranged an exhibition
of a number of American paintings,
including two characteristic wood-
land landscapes by the veteran Cali-
fornian, William Keith, and a new
portrait by Cecilia Beaux. Among
the other artists represented there
were Arthur Davies, Frederick J.
Waugh, Arthur Hoeber, Mrs. Rich-
ardson, Henry W. Ranger and Bal-
lard Williams.
Mr. Keppel opens an important
exhibition of mezzotints and etch-
ings by the late Seymour Haden.
Mr. Keppel has written an introduc-
tion to the catalogue for this collec-
tion, in which he says: "It is ex-
traordinary how a busy London
surgeon should surpass the profes-
sional artists in their own specialty.
He could always make a tree grow
out of the ground instead of mak-
ing it look like something that was
stuck down there to suit the pur-
poses of the painter."
At the Knoedler Galleries a newr
portrait by J. J. Shannon is on view,
that of Mrs. George S. Gardiner.
The scheme of light and shadow is
marked by a strong contrast, the
color scheme by supple gradation.
