BEST WORK OF IIOOSIER ARTISTS IS SHOWN AT ART EXHIBIT

ELLA BOND JOHNSTON The twenty-second annual exhibition by Indiana artists which opened to the Richmond public Sunday afternoon, in the public art gallery, Is about fifty years ahead in merit of the exhibit of twenty-two years ago, and proves the value of exhibits and prizes in raising the standard of work uuong painters. It is a notable fact in which Hoosiers may take pride that the 1919 Altman Prize of one thousand dollars was awarded in the National Academy of Design in New York to Victor Higgins of Shelbyville. The year be fore the same prize went to Daniel Garber who was born and brought up in North Manchester, Ind., but now living in Philadelphia, and this seafson at the Art Institute, Chicago, the Logan Medal carrying with it fifteen hundred dollars was won by Wayman Adams a Muncie "boy." These three painters are represented in our present exhibition. Since the death of William Chase, Daniel Garber is the foremost painter native to Indiana, and we are happy to exhibit one of his very best paintings, "The Hills of Byram" which is loaned by the Art Institute of Chicago. The delectable hills shown in this painting may lie along the Delaware river where Mr. Garber paints in the summer season but no one else has ever seen them. The local fact of hills, rivers, trees and goats has been transmitted in his imagination and fine feeling into the eternal qualities of nature, unity, balance, harmony, variety, and rhythm all enveloped in a silver veil of atmosphere. We hope that some day the art association may own as goon a uaroer as iu uuo. Wavmari Adams exhibits four can vases, a portrait of Jim, the janitor, a portrait of Miss Sellick, the teacher of drawing in the Shrotridge High School, Indianapolis, and portraits of two well known Hoosier painters, J. Ottis Adams and T. C. Steel. Mr. Steel's portrait has the place of honor in the northeast gallery occupying the center of the north wall. It is not only an excellent likenss,' but is true in character and gesture. The face directly and strongly modeled and receives all the emphasis with everything else on the canvas subordinated. No color or accessory allows the eye to wander from the face. Mr. Adams has developed into a very clever technician. It is easy to believe what is true that Chase and Henri were his teachers His portrait of J. Ottis Adams hangs in the same gallery with the Steele and is a more interesting canvas in color. The face is done in an impasto that is rich and clean. This portrait gives a distinct impression of a characteristic amused movement quite revealing of the sitter's personality. Victor Higgins has for several years spent most of his time painting the desert and Indians near Taos, New Mexico, and none of the painters of the west catch the delicate range of the yellow and violet tones of the desert better than he. Mr. Higgins has been doing war work in the far west and did not get his paintings shipped in time to arrive for the opening day. It is expected to arrive today. This exhibit is richer in portraits and figures than any exhibit by Indiana painters shown here in the past. They balance the landscapes, making a satisfying variety. Robert Grafton, whose residence has been in Michigan City for many years, sends his second portrait of George Ade. He painted a standing figure of Mr. Ade which was shown here several years ago. The one now on exhibit is a seated figure and is the one owned by Mr. Ade. It is higher In key than the Adams portraits and fuller of color. (Mr. Adams like Mr. Chase likes the dark background. His recent prize portrait of Jos. Pennell is done in black and grey.) Mr. Grafton has been very successful with the Ade portrait in making the whole canvas interesting without detracting from the value of the head. He has two other canvases, scenes in New Orleans, where he has been painting for several winters. "The Fish Cleaner" is brilliant in color, the red fish, the blue shirt of the man and the yellow sunlight make a striking color triangle in the composition and a successful color harmony. The other canvas is "St. Louis Cathedral," showing a street in the old French quarter of New Orleans, which goes into the picture in narrowing perspective, the cathedral towers reach into a remarkable sky which comes

forward from a distant horizon line, j its flying clouds giving the impression of ample space in a blue dome, and not a flat plain, as many painted skies are. Mr. Grafton has' had great success with exhibits and sales and has painted many , other successful portraits since he painted in , Richmond. In this present exhibit there are thirty-one pictures by local painters, every one being represented by his best work as selected by he Jury. There is no more valuable expehience for a painter who is trying sincerely to improve his work than to hang it in an exhibit. If there ; are defects they are sure to shout from the wall. Our painters wisely avail themselves of the unusual opportunity the art gallery affords. Maude Kaufman Eggemeyer exhibits three oils, a good portrait of little Ellen Bartel, a fine pile of old houses and a really delightful garden which seemed a great favorite with the crowds Sunday afternoon. They are realistic canvases, very well painted in pure color, especially the garden, which is most satisfying with its rhythmic reds and greens. Francis J. Brown, whose special in the gallery closed recently shows five canvases, the most important of these is a larg oil, entitled "The Broken Field," which received H. M. last year in the Indianapolis exhibit. It is a vital piece of work and deserves rtts honor. A pastel, "The Close of Day," is impressively romantic and was a favorite with the crowd. Mr. Brown also has two other oils and a tempera, with which medium he is quite successful. J. E. Bundy exhibits five paintings recently finished in which he varies the autumn moods of our local wood scenes and reveals the beautiful way he feels about them, in his usual reserved and refined color schemes. Each in its way js Bundy at his best, perhaps the favorites will be the large "Moonrise at Sundown" and "Close of a November Day." This last is quite a complete painting, beautifully handled. Wm. Eyden Sr., is represented by three . characteristic canvases, "The Meadow Brook" is attractive and in a new color scheme. Wm. Eyden Jr. shows a large canvas, "The Evening Glow," in his usual style. The five canvases by Frank Girardin represent him at his best, showing an improvement in composition, and especially in the refinement of color over his former exhibits. Fred Pearce of Williamsburg has two pleasing water colors, "A Wheat Fied in July" and "Aunt Anne's Old Home," an oil sketch by Elmira Kempton, a new exhibitor is a sincere piece of work, well done. M. T. Nordyke, three oils of which "Lingering Snow" is the most interesting, i A. W. Gregg, instead of his usual still life exhibits, "A Glimpse of Glen Miller," in full color. Ellwood Morris gives us a genuine thrill in his fine small canvas, "Autumn Tints and Shadows." Much the best painting he has ever shown in the gallery. Two other painters whom we like to claim are Edgar Forkner and Glenn Hinshaw. The former is represented by a Seattle wharf scene, one of his best, and the latter by a well studied portrait of James WTiitcomb Riley in pastel. These two are loaned by Young's Art Gallery of Chicago. Pastel is also the favorite mediunv of Laura A Fry, who has a decorative "White Cock", and the "Black Jug" recently exhibited in the New York Water Color Exhibit. Other notable figure paintings are "Balkan Dances." most interesting In pose and color, by S. P. Bans; "Anne, Portrait Sketch," by Lucy Taggart, showing in high color a well built head with a finely rendered, smiling child's expression, making the head the picture; four small canvases by Ollie Rush, delightfully sympathetic drawings of children; and two high-keyed, pure-colored Bun-flooded oils by Louise E. Zaring of the Provfaicetown School. Three Indianapolis painters, who are favorite contributors, are Otto Stark, having four j paintings, all of merit, with "Between Two Houses," In the lead in the estimation of Sunday's crowd in the gallery; Clifton Whesler, with "Spring Winds," not so interesting as his excellent work shown heretofore has been; and Mr. Forsyth, Indiana's greatest teacher and technician YTiihlHnT fwn rf Vila Viocf iimi-lra

"A Sunny Corner," in tempera, being a charming revelation of the play of sunlight on objects in an interior, and handled so well in this new medium, which is in truth the oldest, and "Pool of the Nymphs," a fine work of imagination, decorative in its composition of massed forms beautifully related and rendered in vibrating emotion compelling color, which gives it a lyric quality unequaled by any other work in the exhibit. In pronounced contrast to most of the other landscapes are the two brilliant oils by Charles Reiffel. which were shown in the November exhibit of American paintings at the art institute in Chicago. Mr. Reiffel is a Hoosier who has been painting for some years in the artist colony at Silvermine, Norwalk, Conn., and is modern in his choice of color and his technique. He uses his forms and masses to give the sense of volume rather than mere surface, after the manner of Cezanne. "The Mills" is in his best style and will be much lik by students of art. Other artists whose work was accepted are H. P. Brown of Indianapolis, Bronislaw Maklelski of South fiend and Frances Lee Nichols of Lynn, Ind. The other features of the exhibit etchings. Batiks and pottery will be noted in a future article. , Generals Named for Near East Campaign Harry Doan and Karl Wolfe have been appointed team generals in the coming Near East Relief campaign, Jan. 25 to 31. They are completing (heir organizations and will be ready for definite team work within the next couple of days, Leslie Harte, county chairman, announced today. TELLS OF WORK IN FRANCE.

Meetings in connection- with the; Methodist reconstruction campaign 1 were held in Richmond Sunday. In the morning and afternoon Fred D. Fisher, a foreign missionary worker in India, who has just returned to this country, lectured at Grace M. E. church. Mr. Fisher has been working among the Indian soldiers who went to Palestine.

PLAN IUTER-CHURGH MISSION CAMPAIGN

A world movement in which probably every Protestant church of North America will Join, was set in motion at the Interdenominational conference held in New Haven, Conn., last week. The plan is for a great campaign organized by every Protestant denomination for the purpose of securing funds needed by the home and foreign missions of each church. Apportionment is to be made following the campaign according to requirements previously regulated. The plan is soon to be presented to the executive boards of eacir" denomination, and it is thought that j most of the churches in every part of the continent will join in the great effort to raise the needed amount of money at one time and for the common aim benevolent work. The executive board of the Methodist Episcopal church, one of the larger demoninations, last week. voted to affiliate with this proposed united movement, and it is understood that other churches will immediately take up the question. Investigation has already been begun to form au accurate and necessary chart of the sum of money needed by each denomination in North America, so that the total sum needed and proportionment may be obtained. It is said that this work is hoped to be completed by the Spring of 1920, when the campaign proper will begin. Solicitation will probably be the method used in the final campaign. The plan was approved by a number of denominational councils present at the conference held in New Haven last week, which B. Willis Beede and Ross Hadley of this city attended.
