noisseur. This will be either followed or preceded
by an exhibition of paintings showing the wide
range of versatility of Mr. Hamilton Easter Field,
who is himself an art patron and collector.
At the galleries of R. C. and N. M. Vose, Bos-
ton, exhibitions of Gardner Symons and Paul
Dougherty’s latest work were held from February
5 to February 17 and February 9 to March 2,
respectively. These two men are considered
among the strongest of the younger painters, and
the history of art gives few names of greater artists
than these men promise to be.
From the 1st to the 24th of February Frederick
Keppel & Co. hung a collection of etchings by
Whistler, including The Limeburner, which is con-
sidered by Pennell to be one of Whistler’s very
best plates. There are many, indeed, in the col-
lection which mark turning points in the master
etcher’s technique and afford valuable material
for a study of the range of his expression.
The Madison Art Galleries, early in February,
showed a collection of pleasant paintings by Karl
Anderson, who was in the past one of the foremost
of American illustrators. His paintings shown
here have the delicate color of Hassam, with a less
mannered technique.
The galleries of Moulton & Ricketts, after two
weeks’ showing of paintings by Vickers de Ville
and portraits and miniatures by Miss Ava de
Lagercrantz, will close their exhibition season with
an exhibit of the work of Aloysius O’Kelly.
In the latter part of February the Gorham
Company will show a collection of miniatures and
paintings on ivory of Miss Gertrude L. Pew.
Announcement is also made of a showing of
bronzes by Frederick G. R. Roth, the animal
sculptor who was invited to send his group of
Polar bears to the opening of the Toledo Museum
of Art.
Previous to this exhibition will be shown a
characteristic study for a bronze, Mother and
Child, by E. F. Sanford, Jr. Mr. Sanford held a
studio exhibition of his recent sculpture late in
J anuary, showing work of the nature of this piece
as well as studies for numerous small bronzes.
The Ehrich Galleries continued their notable
exhibition of early Spanish pictures into February,
while the galleries of E. M. Hodgkins announce
only their customary collection of examples of
eighteenth-century English paintings.
The Tiffany Studios are exhibiting a rare col-
lection of Chinese and East Indian antiquities in
brasses, bronzes, porcelains and embroideries.
Among the more interesting of the pieces shown is

a set of six Chinese chairs, probably of the late
sixteenth or early seventeenth century, gold
under lacquer, with exquisite miniature paintings
and marvelously embroidered upholstery.
The last special exhibition at the Henry Rein-
hardt Galleries was the collection of portraits by
Albert Sterner, and at the Kraushaar Galleries
the exhibition of paintings and lithographs by
Henri Fantin-Latour, mentioned last month.
Yamanaka & Co., New York, have arranged for
a series of exhibitions of Japanese color prints, the
first of which opened on February 15 and will
continue for some six weeks. The first exhibition
includes the important examples by Hokusai and
Hiroshige; the second will show those by earlier
masters, and the third a collection of Surimonons.
From the fifteenth to the nineteenth of Febru-
ary one of the galleries at Knoedler’s will be de-
voted to paintings by Mrs. Johansen (Jean Mc-
Lean), to be followed by an exhibition of “Prints
of Five Centuries,” comprising examples from
1440, through Shongauer, Rembrandt and Diirer
up through Haden, Whistler, Meryon and
Cameron.
The Kleinberger Gallery is showing some ex-
ceptional old masters, a special collection of im-
portant paintings of the old schools also forming
a feature of the Victor G. Fischer gallery.
