RICHMOND ARTISTS The following concerning Richmond artists was published in the Los Angeles Times: -. - .-' The Richmond group of landscape painters is known the world over. This statement does not Bound very startling, but the wonder grows when we are told that Rlhcmond is only a little city of 25,000 people situated in the beautiful state of Indiana, only seventy-five miles from Cincinnati. Every year this small round dot in the Hoosier state holds an exhibition to which the most eminent painters, sculptors and craftsmen in the country are proud and eager to contribute. Reads like a fairy tale, a Munchausen Invention, doesn't it? but nevertheless it's absolutely true. How does it all happen? , Thereby hangs a story of courage and encouragement, a tale whose moral Is identical with that of the story of the tall oak from a little acorn grew. ' The prosperous Richmond Art association of today did not exist thirty years ago. It was not even dreamed of, for Richmond was exactly like every other little city in the Middle West at that remote period, and its Interest in art did not extend beyond the enlarged , crayon portrait in the '.'parlor." But the soil, which bad lain fallow
since the troublous times when Tippecanoe trod in with swift moccasined feet, still held its germinating acorn
I might say its four acorns, for four young men who wanted to become painters started the Rambler's Sketch club, which later grew Into tie Richmond Art association. One of these, Albert Clinton Conner, is well known to us all. for he has lived and painted in Los Angeles over twenty years. His brother Charles, too, who has since died, lived here for a time. The Connor brothers, with
Frank J. GIrardin and M. T. Nordyke
were the original founders of the Richmond movement in landscape art.
They were shortly joined by J. E
Bund', who came to Richmond to
teach painting and drawing in a
neighboring Quaker college.
Girardin, Nordyke and Charles Con
ner were interior decorators, Albert
Clinton Conner was a pattern maker and invento. Their only time for
painting was Sundays and holidays, but as "stony limits cannot hold love out," 1 even so time limits cannot daunt the man enamored of art expression. The rented an old cottage at the outskirts of Richmond and here they met, compared note, discussed art, entertained visiting artists. Quite an ambitious acorn, you see, a rapid expander. . , - So they painted apace, and every now and then held an exhibition of their work in the Garfield schoolhouse, which was conveniently located. Every body in Richmond became interested and everybody came to the exhibitions. After a few years the two Conners went to California, though Charles did not remain here long, as he felt homesick for the art atmosphere of Richmond. The Rambler's Sketch club was metamorphosed into the Richmond Art Association. Every year a picture is purchased with a fund of $500 that is given annually by Daniel G. Reid of New York city, who was formerly a resident of Richmond. Over twenty pictures no belong to the association, among them being canvasses by Frank J. Girardin, J. E. Bundy and Charles Conner. Frank J. Girardin has been sin Los Angeles for a year and a half. Since he left Richmond a permanent art gallery has been built on to the Garfield school, one large enough to accommodate any exhibition and to hold the art treasures the association is gradually accumulating. New land has been bought around the school house bo that the gallery will never be cramped for room. Before this, the schoolrooms were utilized for the exhibitions, which were held only once a year. No there will be exhibitions twice a year, In the spring and fall. Girardin will return to Richmond in a -few weeks, but he Is so delighted with Southern California that he hopes to return, and to remain, at no very distant day. He will bring East with him more than a hundred landscape sketches in oils, and upward of five hundred pencil sketches. These he will utilize for ' his finished pictures, which he will show in Cincinnati and Richmond. , I recently spent a pleasant afternoon looking overd his sketches in oils, and suggested that he ought to show them in Los Angeles, but he feared he wouldn't have time for that. "Besides,", said he, "I don't know that the public wil stand for mere sketches they might not understand them. Artists and critics like them of course, but the general public is apt to deride the mand call the painter a daub ing faker." Albert Clinton Conner's home and studio are at Manhattan Beach. A few months ago, J. E. Bundy and M. T. Nordyke came out from r Richmond and joined Girardin and Conner and only one, Charles Conner, was missing from the original Rambler's Sketch club of Richmond. What an interesting reunion that was! How much these old friends of varied experience must have had to talk about! The rented a bungalow at 'Manhattan Beach, and every day sailed forth to sketch together, as they used to do thirty years ago. One of their favorite haunts was the beach and hills two miles beyond Port Los Angeles. "Our
friends in Richmond wouldn't believe," remarked Conner to his mates, "that we travel twenty-seven miles to sketch and teturn on the same day. That's the difference between Indiana and California." However, they did not confine themselves to the beach below Santa Monica. They traveled to the valley of the Sespe. into the Santa Ynez and Topanga Canyons, to Monrovia everywhere, in search of the wonders of California's spring time. Bundy and Nordyke are already gone, Girardin will soon depart, and only Conner remains. So runs the world away. At first Girardin found it difficult to adjust bis vision to California's studied our landscape with great care for some months before he ventured to try it in paint. His experience was that of all other painters who come here from the East. California seems
to demand a new palette, an entirely
different point of view.
Many sketches were made from the porch of the bungalow at Manhattan, sunset effects of wonderful brilliancy over the Pacificv all of which will be
converted into interesting and beautiful pictures later on.
The country round Monrovia fascinated Girardin, and he made many successful sketches there. One which he calls "At Monrovia" is especially charming a dreamy afternoon full
of delicate grays, with the mountains in the distance. Another is "The Gray Mountains," painted between Duarte and Monrovia, in the region of fine live oaks. .This picture has lovely at
mospheric effects. "Sunlight on the Hill." an afternoon
effect in which the houses in then
shadow take their place admirably,
was painted from the artist's bungalow at Edendale. "Spring Clouds," a
Manhattan subject, has immense sand
dunes in the foreground, with a range
of the Santa Monica Mountains In the
distance. The gray cloude, piled high, are full of motion.
"The Fishing Village," painted beyond the "Long Pier," is excellent in
handling and good in color. "Moun
tain Road," from the same neighbor
hood. - is fresh with the greens of
spring; we have glimpses of the blue
sky through a white cluod racSk, and
of purple mountains along the horizon
line.
With the spring subjects, indeed,
Girardin has been unusually success
ful, for he loves all the varied greens of nature, and in the East has won
his reputation through his painting of
wood interiors.
His pictures, when exhibited in Cin
cinnati and Richmond, will undoubtedly excite both interest and admira
tion. His return will be confidently expected by us, for be declares that this is the country par excellence for
the painter of landscape.

GROWS HAIR ' ' ' and we caii' - PROVE IT! A lady tress MimiinU writ i 'As a result of using Danderine. my : hair is close to five faat ia length." Beautiful Hair At Small Cot: HAIR troubles, like many other diseases have been wrongly diagnosed and altocether misunderstood. The hair itself is not the thing to be treated, for the reason -that it is simply a product of the scalp and wholly dependent upon its action. The scalp is the very soil in which the hair is produced, nurtured and crown, and it alone should receive the attention if results are to be expected. It would da no earthly good to treat the stem of a plant with a view of making; it grow and become more beautiful the soil in which the plant grows must be attended to. Therefore, the scalp in which the hair grows most receire the attaation if yoa ara to expect it to grow and become mora beautiful. Loss of hair is caused by the scalp drying; up, or losing- its supply of moisture or nutriment; when baldness occurs the scalp has simply lost all its nourishment, leaving nothing for the hair to feed upon (a plant or even a tree would die under similar conditions.) , The natural thing to do in either case, is to feed and replenish the soil or scalp as the case may be, and your crop will gTow and multiply as nature intended it should. Knowlton's Danderine has a anoat wonderful effect upon the hair glands and tissues of tha scalp. It is the only remedy for tha hair ever discovered that is similar to the natural hair f oeda or liquids of the scalp. It penetrates the pores quickly and the hair soon shows the effects of its wonderfully exhilarating and life-producing qualities. One 25-cent bottle is enoi'gh to convince yon of its great worth as a hair growing and hair beautifying remedy try it and aee for yourself. NOW at all druggist in three sizes, 25c 50c and $1.00 per bottle."
