THE ROAD TO THE SEA BY POWER O’MALLEY
gives her courage and consolation—this picture is
entitled Revelations. The artist has made a clever
study of blues, differentiating between her blue
apron and the blue tiles behind her. Some
Chinese noblemen drawn in chalk and crayon
are reminiscent of his trip to China, seven years
ago, to paint the Empress Dowager.
The recent work of Mr. Dearth has been on
view last month at the Montross Galleries, and
caused quite a flutter in the art world. Mr. Henry
Golden Dearth is a master of color and design, and
the pictures exhibited are splendid evidence of
Gothic feeling woven into a Persian design with a
dazzling wealth of color. The simplest subjects
are poetically handled, so that we are reminded
of the lines Browning gives to Lippo Lippi:
. We’re made so that we love
First when we see them painted, things we have passed
Perhaps a hundred times nor cared to see.
The Macbeth Galleries have been showing some
of F. C. Frieseke’s most recent work. Judging by
this exhibition he merits the sobriquet of the
“parasol painter,” for among the thirteen can-
vases on view, eight sunshades may be counted.
“ Light, light and more light” is his motto, and as
a painter of dazzling sunlight he stands very high
today. Particularly pleasing are his pictures,
Girl Sewing; The Open Window, where a comely
young woman is hanging a cage of parroquets; the
face is in shadow and the shadows are a marvel of
good treatment, harmonizing well with the gilt
cage and the distinctive blues in her hat and dress.
In some of the garden scenes the figures seem to
need more relief and modeling; they do not detach
themselves sufficiently from their surroundings.
On the floor below a concurrent exhibition was
held of the work of Charles Morris Young, who,
although a well-known artist and represented in
many permanent collections, has now held his first
exhibition in New York. An earnest student of
Nature in her various garbs and moods, he paints
with force and freedom, with subdued palette.
Where all his canvases are notable, The Three
Maples and The Mill Race, Winter might be
selected as best evidencing his skill. While at the
Macbeth Galleries, a peep behind the scenes re-
vealed a “green Innes” of splendid quality. This
is an unusual example of that Master, and when it
