is raucously and insensitively painted; and
Marin’s Waterfall is not so good as his pictures
at Stieglitz’s. Prendergast shows a tapestry-
like canvas which recalls both Guerin and the
earlier K.-X. Roussel. Man Ray’s flower piece is
not representative. A. P. Ryder was one of
America’s most artistic men of a past generation,
and far surpasses the well-known Homer. His
present night scene is most interesting. In the
frieze by Walkowitz that painter has utilized

two hundred works of art. These pictures will
represent the best work being done by the various
artists; and the exhibition will be the broadest
and most representative shewing of the very
modern American work ever held in this country.
The enterprise is non-commercial and is under
a committee comprised of Robert Henri, Dr.
Christian Brinton, Willard Huntington Wright,
Alfred Stieglitz, W. H. de B. Nelson and Dr.
John Weichsel.

painters use flowers. The picture, however, is a
genuinely ordered and sensitive decoration.
Ossip L. Linde has had a successful exhibition

An important event will be the “Forum Exhi-
bition of Modern American Painters” to be held
at the Anderson Galleries March 13 to April 7.
There will be about twenty painters and over

The object of the exhibition is to put before
the American public in a large and complete
manner the very best examples of the more
modern American art; to stimulate interest in
the really good native work of this movement;
to present, for the first time, a comprehensive
critical selection of the serious paintings now
being shown in isolated groups; and to turn
public attention for the moment from European
art and to concentrate it on the excellent work
being done in America.
