I Utah artists stand high in their work, as seen in the paintings representative rep-resentative of them. J. C. Har-wood's Har-wood's "The Boy Pioneer," is one of the outstanding pieces to create interest in-terest and admiration among the visitors of the gallery. Thl3 fine bit of work is the outgrowth out-growth of Mr. Harwood's memories of his own boyhood. The boy is in the act of binding the feather to Ihe arrow, with sinew, which whs obtained from, the backs of dead itnimals.; and lucky was the bo who .in. those days first found a Head, horse , from which the long tendons, of. the back , became ' his stock in trade. I ' . My great. love, of nature and the outdoors, began at that , period of my life, when I hunted with how and arrow instead of pencil and brash," Mr. Harwood said, in commenting com-menting on this particular piece of ( work. '- A Utah county product, born in Leu I, Mr. Harwood spent his boy-hood boy-hood days there. He first studied art in San Francisco, winning gold S' medals for drawing in 1886. He "' went to Europe in 1888, was adniit-ie,!ted adniit-ie,!ted to the Ecole des Beaux Arts, rt" exhibited in the Solon de Paris in oi:1801. The World's Fair in 1S02, :bt'aml many important' exhibitions rcd since that time. He is a member of s h both the ''National" and "The Arts 3:1Cluh" of Washington, D. C, also of the American Federation of Fine in? Arts; and is head of the Art de-ter de-ter piirtmcnt of the University of Utah. 1 Landscapes of Utah artists, too, 'lc! are exceptional, including "Wasatch WK ltange" by Edwin Evan6 ; "Summer," "Sum-mer," Gordon Cope; 'vVutumn 51. Haze," A. B. Wright; and "Mountains," "Moun-tains," hy Rose Howard. "Rotary Falls'' hy G. Wesley Browning, ' "Still Life" by J. R. Russon and William Parkinson,' "Portrait" are , also of high class. These artists have revealed a .true understanding in their blend- tSt lag of rocks, the harmony of at- Biosphere and skill in modern technic. tech-nic. The paintings have character and strength without sacrifice ol beauty. Tbe Springville Herald would like to give a "close up" on many more of the wonderful productions anil the lives of the artists, but space will not permit us to do so in this Issue. However, among the artists not of this state, F. W. Frlezeke of New York, world mnster of portraiture and Hansen Putlhuff, one of tin leading landscape artists in Amerl en, are proniiment. The excellenej of their work is beyond comment and the very presence of theii paintings is proving a major attrac tlon to lovers of art. Benjamin' Brown of Pnsndeni has received considerable praise fo his "Hillside," as has John F. Carl -Mm of New York on his three land 'scapes, "Shadowy Places,'' "A Val 'ey In Spring" and "Blossom Time. Others from all parts of the Unites States are represented, and in al ; cases the quality and tine work manslilp of the paintings has neve been excelled in a Utah exhibit. |
