LAND OF THE LOTUS EATERS BY HENRY WENTZ


Wentz’s truest distinction appears, in the sim-
plicity of his revelation of the depth and bigness
of nature. Wind-swept Trees is one of a con-
siderable series of individual and interpretative
paintings of out-of-doors times and moods.
AT THE ART CLUB, PHILADELPHIA:
NOTES BY EUGENE CASTELLO
Water colour's, pastels and black-and-whites
have been on view recently, being the eighteenth
annual exhibition at the Art Club of Philadelphia.
Generally speaking, it was a very good show,
water colours, if one means pure aquarelle, being
conspicuous by their infrequency, most of the
work owing its success to the use of opaque colour
and so would be classed under the head of paint-
ings in gouache or distemper. One cares
but little, however, in these days, what medium
is used to get the result—two or three are some-
times utilized in the same picture—so the group-
ing of works of painting is now very little con-
trolled by the kind of pigment the painter uses.
