Many Striking Textile Designs of Leon Bakst , Russian Painter , on View at Herron Art Institute
Leon Bakst was born in St. Petersburg in 1886. He studied there in the Academy of Arts and later, under the patronage of a Russian Grand Duchess, in Paris. After Paris ne removed to Moscow and painted scenes of Russian life and conventional portraits, several examples of which are in the Tretiakoff Gallery. After incurring the displeasure of the Russian authorities for incorporating political references in his paintings, he returned to Paris. This was in 1906 and three years later he achieved universal recognition as a stage designer when the Imperial Russian ballet visited the French capital with productions of Cleopatra and Scheherazade for which he had designed the stage settings. In the years that followed he prepared many remarkable designs, Egyptain, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Byzantine, and European Renaissance and medieval for as many operas and ballets. All of his work is characterized by brilliant color in extraordinary combinations, and all displays the wealth of his imagination and the fertility of his invention. He was the first of the great artist designers to turn his attention to texile designing and in 1923 in association with an American silk manufacturer, he completed a number of designs, the majority of them inspired by American motives. In 1924 he died. It is this last work of his, the group of bright patterns that he fashioned for reproduction in silk, that is now displayed in Gallery I,

at the John Herron Art Institute here. The color is wonderful. It is stimulating and satisfying at the same moment. The conventionalized forms are reminiscent of Persian, Byzantine and American art, but they show the touch of the bold Semitic imagination of the artist. There is an occasional design that follows closely the inspiration of some* decorated bit of American Indian pottery or weaving, even to a careful adherence to the familiar black and red and ochre coloring but there are many more where oriental intricacy enriches the simpler American, patterns not only in line and mass but in color as well. On Sunday afternoon, Oct. 30, the J. Ottis Adams Memorial Exhibition may be seen for the last time. It is an interesting collection and has attracted many visitors. Several of the paintings have been sold. The museum staff feels sincere regret that the galleries must be dismantled and the pictures returned to their various owners. It has been a privilege to show a representative group of fine canvases from the brush of so able an artist, and so esteemed a son of Indiana. The French etchings will remain on view for another month. The present showing is a discriminating selection from among the choicest of European prints. The season of musical programs at the museum on Sunday afternoons will open oii Oct. 30, at 3 o’clock, with a violin recital by Marie Dawson Morrell. Mrs. Frank T. Edenharter will be her accompanist.

He gave one morning to the Carnegie Art School, talking with the instructors and inspecting the work of the classes. Mr. Wheeler found tfie International stimulating and inspiring. There were admirable works of art in every gallery, and there were fifteen nations represented. Wheeler regards modern British painting as extremely interesting and in the British rooms he lingered before many fine canvases, but indeed this was true in each division. There was no part of the entire display that he neglected. Indianapolis theaters today offer:
