“REFLECTIONS” BY MARGARET WHITEHEAD


by F. T. Simon—very rich and soft in their color-
ing. Among these there is a charming spring im-
pression of the open-air old book market of Paris,
and there is also an admirable city vista, with
snow, and a soft gray color scheme. These will
be on exhibition at the Hahlo Gallery from the
12th of November until the ist of December, and
will probably be followed by a collection of etch-
ings and of unusual lithographs by Whistler.
Moulton & Ricketts show, as well, a selection as
wide as their last season’s one of etchings by
Brangwyn, Hedley Fitton and Axel Haig.
Certainly the most varied exhibition of color
prints is that of the “British Society of Graver
Printers in Colour,” held at the Architectural
League Galleries from the 4th to the 23d of
November, by Manzi, Joyant & Coupou (Suc-
cessors to Goupil, of Paris). The work of this
society has attracted a good deal of attention in
Europe, and is interesting in that every plate is
entirely the work of its author, in engraving,
coloring the block and printing.
Another type of print, the exquisite steel en-
graving of the Seventeenth Century in France,
as embodied in the work of Robert Nanteuil (1630-
1678), is being shown at the Galleries of Rudolph
Seckel. Here are fifty splendid portrait engrav-
ings which illustrate what has often been called the
“Golden Age” of steel engraving and certainly
an exhibition which no print lover will fail to
visit.

From this it may readily be seen that it is a
month for the print fancier, although many of the
galleries are following the general policies. With
the exception of an unusually interesting show of
art in photography at the Montross Galleries, fol-
lowed from the nth of November to the 7th of
December by one of early Chinese art, the exhibi-
tions will, as in the past, be devoted to American
painting. Announcement is made of a group of
paintings, mostly of Egypt, by Henry Bacon, and
of another, from the 2d to the 16th of January, of
the ever-charming art of Robert Reid.
Old Masters are on view at the Ehrich Galleries,
at the Fischer’s Galleries, and the splendid collec-
tion of the Kleinberger Galleries will soon be more
advantageously shown in new uptown galleries at
709 Fifth Avenue.
k The first important exhibition at Macbeth’s
Galleries was of recent paintings by F. Ballard
Williams, pleasing and colorful as ever, and unusu-
ally sincere in the obvious homage paid by the
painter to abstract and ideal beauty. During the
first two weeks in December the Macbeth Galler-
ies will hold a special exhibition of the recent work
of Lawrence Mazzanovitch, whose last five years
have been spent painting in Europe.
Any monopoly of this season’s exhibitions by
paintings alone would be infringed on not only by
the wide and varied showings of prints, but by
sculpture as well, for the latter half of Novem-
ber the Gorham Company holds an imposing
and exceedingly interesting “Exhibition of Sculp-
ture by American Artists,” and the National
Academy of Design announces an intention of
devoting an entire gallery to sculpture in the
winter show.
Out of New York the season begins in Philadel-
phia with the opening of the Philadelphia Water-
Color Club and the Pennsylvania Society of Mini-
ature Painters, and in Pittsburgh with the Third
Annual Exhibition of the Associated Artists of
Pittsburgh (October 24 to November 25). The
first and second awards in this exhibition were
given, respectively, to Margaret Whitehead, for
her Reflections, and to George Reiter Brill for his
Fam/y. The exhibition, hanging two hundred
and seven paintings this year, places it in the fore
among the season’s exhibitions in the Middle
West.
In Chicago the Roullier art galleries are hold-
ing a splendid exhibition of etchings, dry-points
and Mezzo-tints by Seymour Hayden, while the
galleries of W. Scott Thurber are featuring an ex-
hibition of the paintings of B. J. Olson Norsfeldt.
