Philadelphia's Hundred and Tenth Annual
light by its very purple neighbours.
Frederick Waugh proves once more
his eminent position as a great ma-
rine painter with his picture, The,
Head Sea, where Atlantic rollers are
moving onward with the relentless-
ness of fate; you feel the weight and
depth of the water and look below
the surface. A little painting by
Morris Molarsky is a delightful
Spanish subject, showing a young
woman in a doorway in expectant
attitude. Draughtsmanship, colour
and design combine to rescue a con-
ventional subject from neglect, and
to convert it into one of the important
pictures of the exhibition. Hayley
Lever is entering into his kingdom
at last, and making a very trium-
phant entry, too. The Carnegie
medal which fell to him in New York
this winter is the thin edge of the
wedge. His St. Ives canvases are
brimful of style, good colour and
vitality. Sometimes in his horror
of prettiness he is apt to be a little
brutal and negligent in construction,
arm-chair, jewel casket, parasol, vase, Chinese but time will give him the right balance and, after
statuette, trinket cupboard, etc.,etc. Everything all, we prefer Goya to Guido Reni. An excellent
meticulously arranged and
painted with all the aban¬
don of miniature painting!
Quo vadimus?
Marie Keller is a strong
portrait painter of the
Munich School type. Her
picture of Emily Dohme
shows an engaging little
maid with Gretchen locks,
in a pastoral background,
very entertainingly paint¬
ed, both in colour and
design. William Ritschel
gives us a splendid pano¬
rama of rock-bound sea
with the advance of the
evening tide, also a morn¬
ing seascape, both from
Carmel, California. The
latter is the bigger idea,
but loses much of its sup¬
billy by albert laessle
