MOON MISTS BY FLORENCE MAY


N THE GALLERIES
The past month witnessed the Winter
Academy and also an exhibition of the
Unhungs, which, though making a brave dis-
play in the Andersen Building, cast no special
reflection upon the senior show, beyond empha-
sizing the necessity of more hanging space in
future; which, after all, was the crying reason for
the enterprise (see p. 14). There were also mem-
orable Old Master shows at Duveen Brothers,
Fragonards at Gimpel & Wildenstein’s, Turners at
Knoedler’s Galleries.
Some choice paintings by American artists have
been on view at the Union League Club, the most
effective being a moonlight seascape by Ritschel;
a picture entitled The, Chatterers, by Watrous, rep-
resenting a young girl exchanging confidences with
a raven; a beautiful nude by De Forest Brush,
Andromeda; and, last but not least, The Meeting of
the Seas, one of the very best Carlsens we have yet
seen. Two opposing waves meet with magnifi-
cent effect; the colour scheme is subdued and
exceedingly harmonious.
Print lovers enjoyed a rare exhibition of Rem-
brandts at the Gallery of Rudolf Seckel, valuable
