Studio: international art (89.1925)

PHILADELPHIA.—The exhibition of
water-colours, etchings, pastels and
other work in black and white at the Penn-
sylvania Academy, known as the Twenty-
second Annual Show of that kind of
art-work, included, for the first time in
its history, a group of caricatures for which
prizes were offered by Mr. John Frederick
Lewis, President of the Academy. The
first prize of $150 was awarded to Mr.
D. R. Fitzpatrick for a crayon drawing of
Babe Ruth, the baseball player. The Alice
McFadden Brinton Gold Medal went to
Mr. George Bellows for his lithograph
entitled Auntie Mason and her Husband.
The Philadelphia prize of $200 was
secured by a group of water-colours of
the West Indies, very broadly treated by
Mr. W. Emerton Heitland. The North
Corridor was hung with a group of twenty-
two charming pastels by Mr. J. McLure
Hamilton, mainly dealing with types of
feminine beauty in decollete costume,
drawings on buff paper heightened with
white. Mr. John Singer Sargent was
represented by a group of water-colours
lent by the Brooklyn Museum of Art—
Bedouins, Spanish and Venetian notes for
the most part, carried only so far as to
give the impression of the scene without
dwelling too much on details. 0 0

Miss Felicie W. Howell sent a group of
water-colours of fishing boats that were quite
as strong as anything in the show; Mr. Geo.
EL Hallowell's group of six water-colours
were wonderfully effective scenes of Italian
peasantry en fete and glimpses of life in
the logging camps of America. Miss
Alice Schille sent a group of ten water-
colours, Oriental in subject, handled in
modern fashion and abounding in high-
keyed colour. Mrs. Alice Mumford Culin
exhibited near-by a group of nine, also
very modern in facture, symbolic sugges-
tions carried out with a fine sense of
pattern and colour. Mr. Frank Benson
sent six water-colours, marines, flowers and
his own house ; Mr. Birger Sandzen, nine
pictures of the rocky coast of Norway ;
Miss Violet Oakley showed portraits in
sanguine and a group of pastels of Monsal-
vat; Miss Edith Emerson, views of
Tangier and Spain, also in pastel. There
was a group of monotypes of racehorses in
action by Mr. Paul Froelich; a fine
lithograph of Saint Sulpice by Mr. Reber
Hartman ; Mrs. Susan H. Bradley showed
water-colours of the Chinese Wall and of
Egypt. A group of marines by Mr.
Charles H. Woodbury were notable
features of the collection. 0 a
