tion; the rich, coppery color of the bronze that
has a gleam and a glint as from an inner fire; the
cool marbles that from the sculptor’s hands have
acquired warmth and life, the lights and shadows

Associated artists of Pitts-
burgh
The Fourth Annual Exhibition of the Asso-
ciated Artists of Pittsburgh opened its doors to
the public October 25, and continued until No-
vember 23. The high standard adopted by the
jury resulted in an unusually fine display and
places it among, the leading exhibitions of the
Middle West and; with the exception of New
York, the best local show in the country.
Altogether 133 pictures were hung, representing
fifty-five artists. The first honor was awarded
Mabel Killam Day, a student of Robert Henri,
for Winter, a snow scene, a deliberate and direct
execution of good quality. The second honor
went to Arthur W. Sparks, head of the art depart-
ment of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, for
his Cora and Clemence, showing two figures in the
sunlit foreground in a glade of trees. Christ
Walter’s Evening in the Catskills received third
place, and deals with the majesty and serenity of
mountain landscape. The water-color honor went
to Mrs. Ray E. Motz.
The one man’s show was a group of twenty-five
paintings by Leopold G. Seyffert, of Philadelphia,
who received honorable mention at the recent
International Exhibition at the Carnegie Institute.
