Studio-Talk
scored by Mr. George B. Luks in a life-size
group of Wrestlers. Mr. Randall Davey’s Old
Portuguese was a fine bit of character painting.
Landscape art at its best in America has its
exponent in the work of Edward W. Redfield,
who exhibited here several works, among which
.4 Road in Winter is perhaps a typical one.
Mr. Childe Hassam with a different technique
succeeded in giving an impression of a subtle
envelope to his picture of The Old Elm. Japanese
suggestion was discernible in a decorative can-
vas contributed by Mr. Joseph T. Pearson, Jr.
entitled Winter, in which some very closely
studied geese of a rather rare breed give
wonderful interest to a very extraordinary work
of art. Mr. George Bellows contributed a sort
of human document, registering the hysterical
excitement of a religious revival in his impres-
sionistic Sawdust Trail. Mr. Guy Pene Dubois
told a pathetic story of modern life in his
suggestive figures of The Doll and the Monster.
Mr. Sergeant Kendall’s Sabrina was a fine
example of his skill as a figure painter in this
semi-draped bathing-girl. Memories, by Mr.
Frederick Frieseke, conveyed an expression of
tender sentiment in terms artistic and colourful.
The semi-obscurity of early morning faintly
defining docks and shipping was convincingly
translated by Mr. Hayley Lever in Dawn, and
the soft radiance of the Moonlight on a Calm Sea
was equally well expressed by Mr. Emil Carlsen.
Mr. Charles H. Woodbury exhibited a Fantasy
of the sea vibrating with prismatic colour, and
Mr. Charles Morris Young presented a different
mood in his October Sea and The North Wind.
As an object-lesson, showing impartially what
American artists of the present day are doing,
the Exhibition effectively recorded the progress
that has been made in the art of painting during
the last two years. E. C.
