Gallery Notes

tian and Connecticut paintings at the Historical
and Art Society in Albany. His pictures of
Venice and Bruges have been specially noticed in
this magazine for their fine qualities. His suc-
cess as a teacher at Westport equals his record
as an efficient artist. Good colour and consider-
able imagination mark Emil Holzhauer’s exhibi-
tion at the Braun Galleries. William B. E.
Ranken has been showing unusual water colours
of figureless interiors at Knoedler’s. The in-
teriors he selects are so interesting that a figure
would be an intrusion. Staterooms at Blenheim
Palace jostle Chinese Pagodas and Fifth Avenue
drawing-rooms; all are rich in colour and design.
The Ehrich Galleries continue in their well-
directed efforts towards instilling in the collector
a desire for the lesser-known masters, especially
as the greatest men are unobtainable or else too
expensive for the ordinary man. Former exhibi-
tions of this nature have been highly successful.
The Macbeth Gallery has been shewing the

work of Clifford W. Ashley, who is busy chronic-
ling in oil—oil to oil—the old whaling industries
of New Bedford which in time will disappear, to
make room possibly for ammunition factories.
Ashley knows the sea and paints it well. Many of
his canvases are highly dramatic; all are inter-
esting. Painter friends are also showing at Mac-
beth’s. George M. Bruestle, Wilson Irvine,
Robert H. Nisbet, who improves like old port,
Carl J. Nordell, Edward C. Volkert, the cattle
painter, and Guy C. Wiggins.
A very notable one-man show at the Arlington
Galleries was that of Robert Spencer, whose work
is well known to visitors of galleries. With sub-
dued palette he portrays factories and tene-
ments but always seeing the picturesque and not
the sordid. His figures are more felicitous than
his trees, the charm of which seems to elude him.
The Friends of Young Artists have returned to
life and will be giving an exhibition during the
month.
