International studio (53.1914)

American Art at the Anglo-American Exposition

resident in the United States and before proceeding
to discuss them in detail we must not omit to
record our thanks to the artists and to Mr. Hugo
Reisinger, who organised this section, for giving
us permission to illustrate the spaciously treated
Village Rider, by J. C. Johansen ; the subtly
atmospheric Lady in White, a little reminiscent of
Whistler, by T. W. Dewing; J. Rolshoven’s sunny
picture of a girl in bright blue, Dichter Liebe—a
Morning in May-, John W. Alexander’s fine and
imposing portrait of a gentleman ; and the large
snowy landscape, Hill Farm in Winter, by
Gardner Symons.
Besides the works just referred to, E. W. Red-
field exhibits a good snow-painting, On the
Delaware, and A Garden by the River, a work of
most delightful colour to which a reproduction in
black and white would do scant justice. Other
good things are L. Kronberg’s harmoniously
coloured In the Dressing Room; the Still-Life by
E. Carlsen; W. M. Chase’s Portrait of Miss C.

and clever painting of Fish; Pauline, by Miss
H. M. Turner; The Circus, by George Bellows;
The Mirror, by E. V. Cockroft; and Albert
Sterner’s The Japanese Print. Miss Cecilia Beaux
exhibits a Portrait Study, decoratively if a trifle too
arbitrarily posed, of a girl in a magnificently painted
purple and yellow brocaded robe, against a dark
background ; and W. Elmer Schofield’s Waterfall
is an admirable and typical example of his personal
art. Childe Hassam sends six works, among them
an extremely clever painting of an interior, Room of
Flowers, full of light and colour; but more typical
of his work in general are the pictures entitled
Young Woman Reading, Moonlight Landscape,
and The Window Curtain. Gardner Symons is
also represented by a painting, Across the River, in
which the slow moving greenish water is rendered
with great fidelity to nature ; the artist has here
achieved an admirable composition into which he
introduces some agreeable colour notes in the
painting of the boats moored in the foreground.
