Lucien Simon also showed pictures, but they were
also holding separate exhibitions to which they
had naturally reserved their best work. H. F.
After a lapse of two years, the reorganisation
and reopening of the American Art Association in
Paris created a spirited enthusiasm. To the founder
and president, Mr. Rodman Wanamaker, American
artists owe a debt of gratitude, and that half-
heartedness is not one of their characteristics was
abundantly revealed by the association’s member-
ship, and the representative collection of work
brought together in their first exhibition. Un-
stinted praise is due to the art committee, Messrs.
Walter Griffin, Parke C. Dougherty, and Richard
Miller, for the arrangement, and overcoming the
difficulties entailed in placing some eighty-seven
works in the rooms at the American Art Students’
Club in the Rue Joseph Bara-.
The work exhibited was markedly characteristic
of American art in Paris. There was nothing
outrageously modern or foggily dull, brilliancy of
colour and naturalism being the dominant features.
A welcome addition of a little more unconven-
tionality would have filled a felt void and com-
pleted the lacking note, by realising the lasting joy
in art that comes from those who make use of
nature, and rarely from those who are used by it.
In figure work Myron Barlow’s Interior is an
instance of what I mean. And another is Richard
Miller’s ably painted By the Window—here the
green blind made one think of the sea. Mr. Miller
was well represented, his various sketches and
finished pictures forming an interesting study.
That he is a strong personality with an influence
was distinctly evident by the adaptation of his
subjects and methods which have been unblushingly
appropriated by other painters and are recognisable
in their work.
But of individual exhibitors there are many that
must not be overlooked; anything they may have
