Foreign Painting at the Panama-Pacihc Exposition

Hungarian Section, Panama-Pacific Exposition
LONGCHAMPS BY BATTHYANYI GYULA


Kesmarky, Korody, Csaky, and numerous tal-
ented young radicals whose work is as well
known in Berlin and Paris as it is in Budapest,
are also absent.
The physiognomy of current Hungarian paint-
ing as presented at the Panama-Pacific Exposition
is varied but incomplete. The public will hardly
be able to divine from this particular offering the
true significance of modern Magyar art. That
splendid movement which on the one hand aims
to preserve unspoiled the eloquent peasant heri-
tage and, on the other, to foster an equally national
though more comprehensive development has not
been clearly indicated. A more serious study of
racial conditions and characteristics and a less
spasmodic choice are necessary in order to con-
vey a convincing sense of aesthetic aspiration
and attainment. Although betraying no espe-
cially advanced sympathies, the display of Hun-
garian art at Rome in 1911 was distinctly
superior to that now on view at San Francisco.

r^’HE ART ALLIANCE OF AMERICA
This society intends to give an exhibition
of exceptional interest during December, of
which ART AS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHILD will
furnish the motive. Vast opportunity is afforded
to numerous branches of artistic endeavour, and
it is to be hoped that painters, sculptors, interior
decorators, architects, costume designers, toy
makers, furniture designers, jewelers, potters,
publishers, makers of book plates, game inventors,
in fact all who can contribute in any field to the
artistic welfare of the child will co-operate in
this enterprise, which bids fair to make the
round of this country after its inscenation in
New York City. Exhibitors must belong to the
Art Alliance of America at whose offices, situated
at 45 East 42nd Street, every information can be
obtained.
Already the idea is arousing the greatest en-
thusiasm.
