Company Along..............Ilagenian AMERICAN ARTISTS A Review by Cile Miller. Probably the best thing that can be said of the Annual Exhibition of American Art which is running in Detroit from April 14 to May 17 is that the artists, represented are independently American, and are avoiding any imitation of the for- eign schools. The three divisions as they are arranged with a memorial exhibit of Julius Rolshoven, one of Arthur B. Davies, and a group of sixty paintings by various artists in an adjacent room allow for an inter- esting study, giving a glimpse of what Americans can muster up through their individual careers and also a good cross section of the range covered by the entire Amer- ican school. Julius Rolshoven's brush is as aristocratically refined as his own self-portrait. His work has the con- fidence of the perfect technician. His mastery of discrimination be- tween different surface textures is such that an observer has the tac- tile reaction which is characteristic of good sculpture. His compositional arrangements are beautifully cor- rect, and the women he uaints have a delicacy of line in them that is like the carving of a cameo. Yet with all of this competent execu-. tion of his medium I felt that Rolshoven's work lacked something to make it real art. The trouble is that like a thoroughbred horse, his art is over-refined, and he loses the freedom of expression. One realizes that he thrills to beautiful colors, that he knows the beauty of form as is obvious in his exquisite nudes. But he paints with line, color, and form, seldom dipping his brush into ,the strange oil of thought out of which all contour can arise so magnificently executed. And now we come to Arthur Davies who lacks much of the superior technique which makes for the beauty of Rolshoven's work, but on the other hand his work fairly sings with a lyrical quality, the result of an incorporation of his very spirit. It is jnteresting to go from the civilized sophistication of the former man's work to the ultra freedom of this pagan, Arthur Dav- ies. He uses the nude figure as a cubist does his cubes. He capitalizes the rhythmic motions of the human form into ribbon-like patterns. And always his work such as At Morning which portrays a girl in a dawn- soaked garden has the same quality in the dreamy expression of the dirl's face. And his landscapes in their soft blues and greens re-echo the fairy-like reality of his work. And yet from all of his dreaminess there comes a certain virility and strength such as the Greek myth has in its fantastic entity. As to the sixty other artists who exhibit their work, there are many 'types of art. Childe Hassam, diverg- ing from his usual picturesque landscape, produces an oil, The Cobbler's Shop, which we recognize as his, only through the character- istic light effects. The composition is made up of a continuous repiti- tion of verticals, executed in watery blues and greens. Guy Pene su Bois is there also' with his caricature-like exposition of the metropolic sophisticate. And Nura presents one of her amusing pictures, The Little Pig Went to Market which lacks her usual piquancy and only shows her ap- preciation of the child's fantastic humour. In my opinion one of the most beautiful works exhibited is Eugene Spiechner's Mary Anderson, a portrait study of a young woman dressed in salmon browns against a dull blue background. The study is remarkable for the depth of feel- ing which the artist has put into the distant gaze of his subject. Nor must one pass by too quickly the View from Little Italy by Francis Spieght who creates the feeling of distance, builds up light and sha- dow contrast of an evening sun, A,"V uVer t 0 SING] BROWN-CRESS & Company, Inc.
