seeing life steadily and seeing it

large number of female painters
showing-at least, it is something to
ponder over.
Certainly on the score of crafts-
manship alone, Mrs. Lillian Westcott
Hale's painting of a woman deserves
attention as the best, most represen-
tative picture. Such painting as this,
though, contains few other than craft
qualities and bears little relation to.j
far art expressive to our time. it
corresponds to the genteeltradition in
poetry and the novel which existed
in America until our Frost's, Sand-

The most modern thing in the show
is undoubtedly Mrs. Frances Cran-

they are harmonized so as to give a

ture similar in its color motif is "Oc-

ald F. Witherstine. These two are
outstanding because of the contrast
with the dullness of the others.
There are two other pictures that

A selection of forty paintings from
the annual exhibition of American Ar-
tists held in the Art Institute of Chi-
cago is now on exhibition at Alumni
Memorial hall and will continue until
the end of the month.
This show, which is supposed to be
of the best, is fairly representative
of the dead level of American aca-
demic art. There is no canvass here
that can offend the most delicately
sensed unless it be because of dull-
ness, and there is scarcely one that
shows more than the slightest aware-
iess of the problems that are occupy-

ing the living, -forward-looking, creat-
ing artists of our day. Most of these
pictures might have been painted at
any time during the last century, there
is nothing so outstanding as would
enable one to place them at any cer-
tain period. Practically all of them
are attempts to imitate the style of
the classicists and follow precedents
of such long use and repetition that
one has the feeling of having seen
them before. Artists in every coun-
try today are really trying to
create a style of painting suited to
our modern ways of thinking and act-
