BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The annual exhibition of Indiana art in the Herron Art Institute, Indianapolis, is the most important held in the state. For by it can be Judged the status of production in Indiana since very few of those exhibiting are resident abroad. This year the showing made is interesting. There is a lot of idle talk about art. What constitutes its inwardness, its excellences and its meaning. Artists themselves rarely discuss the first and the last.

They are concerned chiefly with the second. The inwardness and the meaning are dragged into the lists by the women's clubs, college curriculums, connoisseurs, alleged and otherwise, persons on the still hunt for soul uplifts, teach

er's institutes and Chautauqua pro

gram committees. Art in any of its phases was never intended to mean anything. Nor is it constructed for the wresting forth of its inwardness. Despite the Browning clubs. Art, as stated the other day, is a solace for humanity a refuge from the tragedy of existence. No one understands it. Some occultly interpret it. But the vaster number knows only its effect. It is the one great, impersonal mani

festation of beauty. But a partial revealment. Blinding glimpses of that perfect expression about which artists dream and toward which humanity vaguely yearns. About the painting art there is endless discussion. There are fads, fancies, moods, methods and a few indestructible facts. But, in the end, it is the translation of light, line and color into terms of intelligibility. Although artists and their public do not always agree upon the terms through which that intelligibility is made known. Hence the ' latter's bewilderment over the various new schools which now and then rend the art world with their alleged revolutionary methods. The current exhibit of Indiana art is remarkable for nothing save its attempted virtuosities. Much talent and even artistic erudition is evident but is nullified by extravagances in technique and a bizarre use of color. For, as said elsewhere, it is only the very great who can indulge in painting eccentricles, in violent tangents from the fixed principles which all acknowledge, that absolute basis from which sorties must always be made. Sanity, in short, is the desired end toward which the artist should strive. And sanity does not predominate in the exhibition now on In the Herron Art Institute. A sort of mongrel impressionism is more or less rampant. Orgies of color with no seeming rai-

son d' etre. Easily the most noticeable of the younger artists is Clifton A. Wheeler. Here and there you are held magnetically by a canvas of which, at first, you do not approve." You stay, howeve and, later, examining the signature, find it to be another picture by Wheeler. This artist usea color vividly and in its purity. His subjects are, in some instances, somewhat affected notably one dominated by a nude. Wheeler, for some reason or other, makes an appeal to the spectator as interpreting the Indiana landscape intomately and nudes do not fit into a Hoosier environ. This would doubtless be regarded as eminently philistine. But, curiously, Americans are not successful in imparting the atmosphere pagan or classic, or both or either which must make the nude convincing. That is, those resident here. Our landscape, as well as our society, possesses a degree of unsophistication incredible and not understood of the foreigner. That is the reason many an artist of talent is spoiled,' if not entirely ruined so far as the value of his product is concerned by a course of instruction in European schools or a long residence in a continental country. The members of the "Hoosier Group" are eminent examples of a co

terie of painters who returned to their own state, after an extended sojourn abroad, and, recognizing the impossibility of an amalgamation between their foreign training and their native environ, evolved a technique and method as distinguished as it was successful in interpretation. The pictures of Steele, seen in the

present exhibition, stand forth as the' sanest and most convincing present- j ment of our native Hoosier landscape

shown there. ! Steele is an artist who uses color with masterly restraint. And he puts i into his pictorial presentations of nature a personal note, a feeling of alluring Intimacy with his subject which .overwhelms the spectator, also native

to the state, with a certain poignancy of kinship. Wayman Adams, a young portrait painter who is attracting much attention, shows an Interesting portrait of George Calvert, an Indianapolis connoisseur, which is much liked by both the artist's and the sitter's friends. Adams has a down town studio and is an attractive personality. Studying abroad he, also, has returned to his home in Indiana to paint the citizens of the state which he is doing with eclat. Of Riley he has painted two pictures one owned by Booth Tarkington and highly esteemed by the author and playwright and another a curious study unpleasant in its realism, but fascinating in method. This artist's portrait of Meredith Nicholson is easily the most notable canvas of the entire Indiana exhibition.

It is what the uncou' might call "swagger" in effect. It possesses distinction in pose, treatment and conception of personality. And it is admirably painted Inn, Bure and direct as to bru6h-work and with . a certain translucency of fleshtone.. It gives the novelist's unfamiliar profile to the public and, in this, might be called on the carpet as to likeness but it is merely one of those curious physiological and psychological aspects of facial topography, if it can so be put, that is the baffling element in every individuality. Adams has also painted an admirable portrait of Booth Tarkington, who owns the first named picture of Riley and who was most complimentary and eulogistic in his expression of appreciation of Mr. Adams's art as exemplified in his Interpretation of one of the moods of the celebrated poet.

the exhibit Of the other Richmond artists. Bundy shows a charming wood interior and Fred Pierce a striking marine clear and cool in tone. Anna Newman has one of the best

landscapes ever shown from her brush, well and conspicuously hung. The exhibition, as a whole. Is inter

esting and significant and Its recur rence each year makes It the leading event In the art life of the state.
