Show 1 1 J AMERICAN ARTISTS i I IN PARIS. I K Trlbuno Special Correspondence. H 7 RUE BELLONI. Paris, Fob. , The J; exhibition, now being held at the A. A. A., the American club, Is, ns several of Us papers have said, the best ever held by tho club. The policy of the club has been one of advancement or progress i j the last few years. ISver since it moved I from the old quarters on the Qual de H I Conte, in the old building: In which at Jl one time Napoleon lived, It has been a H live club. The policy all through the club has been one of up-to-dateness, so ) necessarily he shows have profited by B(f jj It. The show, aside from its merit, is R Interesting as showing the work of the n younger Americans In Paris. You might say of the show as a whole that Ej i a it shows a tendency to delicate color I harmonics and the nicer side of things Vii j Mr. Frescke, Mr. Aid and Mr. Miller all I Hp : show theso tendencies They are all 8 painters of women and seldom paint BJ I K anything else. Mr. Frescko is the most mA y Interesting of the group and has at-Bi at-Bi 1 talned quite a vogue. His painting is MU : tender, with a subtle appreciation of M delicate color harmonies. His drawing Hfl '. isn't very robust, and In his poorer pro-( pro-( 1 ductlons shows positive weakness, as ; does hi:? color. You might call thlB ' group the school of "Girl at tho Look-In Look-In i ing Glass." Iu u Hit The mo3t intereitlnjr .painter expos- Wl lng at tho show Is Alfred H. Mauser. W : He Is represented by a most original composition (he Is always Interesting) M of a carpenter shop at night. It Is ssn H from the dimly lighted street; and In- pide figures are at work In a mystorl- f ous Interior. All the lights are flklll-V flklll-V fully hid so that nothing breaks the doom of tho picture. In the street a H. woman is walking. It is a scene such Hj as any ono may see any night in Purls Kj " ' if he has sense to see it. If Lionel "Wnlden has a luminous sea rcope. Mr. "Walden Is represented by a lAy picture In the Luxemburg galleries. HK- JjflM" 1. Tliere are three of the Utah contin- crent represented A. B. "Wright, Lee BS1 Greene Richards and Mahonrl M. BH Young. Mr. Wright shows threo plc- tures; two studies of Paris characters kBS and a very beautiful nocturne of a Paris t-H street. Mr. Richardy shows two studies IvBfl of Breton fisher lads. Both painters' JjBM works have been much admired. Mr. Young sends two pieces of sculpture IBHi and two pastels; thoy have made some- BS "what of a hlL JBBV Tho other pictures In the show are H' some good and some not so good, and IKJ, ij there are one or two positively bad. Bf flj There are two Auytrlans represented, BJB III T Mr. Pateraon and Mr. Lever. Their . work shows much strength and a cer- ft. B flj tain fearlessness which is very wol- lyj ' come. Much may be expected from i JhB j Australia. I BVJ In my last letter I mentioned how Mr. BS Harwood had been doing himself proud BBJ at the Julian academy, It is now my Bfli pleasant pleasure to let you know that HB another Utahn has been honored. Mr. 1BV . Lee Greene Richards has been elected TB A, an associate of the Automn salon. The fcHV Automn salon was organized, or held UMU 't.s first exhibition, this year. It may I Jl s' firow In time to be a great show like 5 jy1 i tlie qlhor salons; that is what Its pro- I h I' -rrttTters liope. It is a high honor for if',, , Mr. Richards, and his friends In Salt (' Lake will will be very pleased to hear of his success. inKI MAHONRI M. YOUNG. |
