JiJUMJRLYiN DAILY AWV UK IV, fSlMMI, JUAltUl II. WHAT IS STIRRING IN THE REALM OF ART DAUMIER'S WORKS "LILIAN HELLIN" babies, "Christopher," "John" and "William," two lying on their white beds and one sitting up, are charming In flesh painting, expression and pose. "Brothers" show three little fellows In a barn; hay and apples are on the ground; a buoyant technique distinguishes the canvas. "Miss Helen C'oley" is a little maiden in light brown, and "Penelope" shows a beautiful baby in a basinet, beside which her nioiher sits, in reddish gown, aguinst a drapery background. Both canvases are notable In expression of child life and motherhood.

"Mrs. French Vanderbllt" Is a brilliant, full-length portrait, the woman in white satin, with a deep pink velvet wrap. Beautiful texture and feature painting is here, as in the portrait. "Mrs. Payson MacL.

The sculpture Is "Study of a Girl" (a collie and a boy), by Ruble F. Osbom. Art Alliance of America's Projects.

The Art Alliunce of America has raised for a fund to rent and remodel a building for new quarters. This sum was raised by private subscriptions, largely by the board of directors and active members. A much larger amount is needed. The alliance was started three years ago, to cooperate with the producers and consumers of art In every field of endeavor In America. Its aim Is to help the artist, artisan and art student to help himself and dispose of his products and to bring him in touch directly with those who use his work.

It Is a clearing house for art workers In America and assists business men and manufacturers who are employing art workers. The new building will Include a huge exhibition room and smaller rooms. The alliance has exhibitions in contemplation. 2 DEBATBTOMARK WEEK AT INSTITUTE fir Jh p. on which arc insignia of royalty.

brought the. propaganda to the homes of the people. In, that year Daumier spent tlx monthH in prison because of his political activity, and, field nays in hie notes on the exhibition, "Daumier emerged, his whole nature embittered, and this very bitterness added forcf to his attack. Few governments could withstand such onslaughts. The fight was kept up until the fall of the monarchy in 1848.

While lo us the cartoons are primarily interesting as works of art, to Daumier they were an outcry of hatred against the bour-geoise king. Louis Philippe." The lithographs may not convey the i political situation to tne visitor, nut '''tensity of feeling in Daumier makes eiT acterizat ot lip.s. In th. are I humor, satire and scathing criticism, There are many delightful lithographs of Parisian scenes and Parisiun do rneslie life, all of them filled with keen humor and knowledge of French nature. To one with knowledge of the French language the underwritten descriptive comments by Daumier add to the interest of each lithograph.

Morton Sohamberg, in this his first "Llttlo Deborah." By the Famous Russian Artist, Alexandra Who In Xow In Thin Country. exhibition, shows f.no draughtsmanship in figures anil finds interest in depicting work in modern machinery, from the art point of view. Ills work Is of our world, of our epoch, and in contract form. Clarity of vision is seen In the works of Sehamberg and of another exhibitor, Marsden Hartley, who, besides other works lively, and sunny In shows a remarkable impression of the war spirit in a large canvas. On high is seated a controlling figure, while all about are hosts marching from foreground to background.

Pictures by Raphael Klrchner at the Boss Gallery. At the Boss Gallery, in a very large and representative collection of distinctive pictures in color by Raphael Klrchner, whose works are in museums and private and well-known collections in Europe and in collections by royal families. Much of his dash and style were developed in his Paris experience, but his own talent served him in his happy faculty of choosing or inventing subjects. The liveliness, delicacy of imagination and remarkable skill of the artist in drawing beggar words of description; they should be seen. Delicious is "Ivresse," a young woman holding to her lips a handkerchief, as though it were a gift from a lover.

"Danseuse" is another fine work as is "Eve." a modern, young, auburn-haired nude, who gazes on an apple she is holding. Larger compositions are of the sea, one being "Submarines." two nudes being in mid-ocean and holding steering gear, like that on an automobile, the "submarine" being under the surface of the water, on which a swirl of waves seem about to overwhelm the figures. But they laughingly hold on their way. Another nne sea piece is "Voice of the Ocean." a semi-nude, with gleeful expectation on her face as she holds to one ear a sea shell. There are admirable portraits, Including those of Mrs.

John E. Liggett, Count de Crissy, Miss Olive Thomas and Mile. Ryat, beslres original water colors. Malcolm Eraser's paintings, with those by Kirchner, may be seen at the galleries through March. "Ten American Painters" at the Montross Galleries.

Introduction of drawings in large numbers, amid two score and more works in oil, water color and pastel in the twentieth annual exhibition of ten American painters, gives not only variety but sprightliness to the collection on view at tho Montross Galleries. The late William M. Chase has the "honor" place in a large still-llfe, "Fish," a favorite subject. It shows his virtuosity. Frank W.

Benson's canvas, "The Open Window," with its figure of a seated woman, is more striking and forceful than Childe Has- sam's work, with similar subject. But Hassam has a tremendously colorful canvas in "Kitty Hughes," also at a window and with radiantly red apples In a nearby receptacle. Delicate in treatment are five water colors by Mr. Hassam. In portraiture, Joseph De Camp'B "George Chadwick" and "Robert Treat Paine 2d," are in every way admirable, especially for complete modeling, pose of the subjects and restraint in color.

Subtly expressed is T. W. Dewing's canvas, a young woman, in "Gold and Black." Robert Reed, in five exhibits, has one of his "impressions" showing his own portrait. His features are more strongly brought out than those of other subjects recently shown. Edward Simmons has a suave "Sconset Beach" among his five canvases.

Edmund C. Tarbell gives very high lights to the fa.ces in his "Ir. A. and Daughters." loaned by Mr. and Mrs.

Albright, giving a rather strained atmosphere to the canvas. His portrait of his daughter Is charming. J. Allien Weir conveys sunnlness and warmth in his "Portrait," a young woman' in diaphanous blue attire. Sound Art by Mien Rand at the Duraml-Ruel.

The collection of old American mas ter at the museum is to' remain until March 2.. Never before have there been so many forms of art placed be- fore the public In Brooklyn und Man- hattan, especially across the East I.tver, as are now on view. The displays Include paintings In oil and water color, pastel, works in black and white, lithography, portraiture and sculpture. Not only are there sufficient exhibitions to satisfy the maddest chaser of art shows, but there is an overplus. To persons who have traced the progress of art in influencing politics in the past in Trance, a collection in Brooklyn will be of great Interest.

So scarce are the early lithographs of Honore Daumier (1808-1879) In this country that opportunity to see many of them on exhibition at the Ardsley Studios is a boon to the admirers of the great French cartoonist. Hamilton Faster Field, proprietor of the studios, has about 1,000 of the works in black and white, but shows only fifty of them. Daumier fought a long pictorial and catching battle against Louis Philippe in La Caricature, when the Revolutionists had no weapon but the press to use against "renegades," who had accepted office under Louis Philippe. Apparently. Daumier's first lithograph was printed on February 9.

Gilford Beal, a young American artist, w'ho has won a distinguished place In the world of art, has on view In the Pratt Institute Art Gallery sixteen oil paimings and so many water-color examples that they overflow to the corridor.

He paints broadly and with sympathetic insight, using free brush work. His color sense is keen and there is in his compositions great skill In using picturesque points of view. Throughout the collection the modern spirit is noted and he never sacrifices the picture to the decoration. Hi3 scenes of city streets, of the workaday world in railroad centers, and of pleasant passages in country life vie in interest with the highly contrasting views in Porto Rico, with their tall palms, bright skies and Incidents of the island. In his forty-eight water colors Mr.

Beal painted with. splendid dash and freedom. There are impressive views of scenery along the Hudson River, In the Catskills, in Central Park, along the New England coast and In Porto Rico, while charming side lights are thrown on picturesque places. And all with the freshness of work in a sketching line. Borgard's Art at the Milch Gallery.

Martin Borgard's pictures at the Milch Gallery include two heads, "A Descendant of the Vikings" and VLammert, a Dutch Peasant," both standing out as types of sturdy independence, and each is technically well painted. "Davlda" is- -an unusual type of face, colorfully surrounded in the way of apparel and furnishings, in an "Interior." "In the Boudoir" is charm of color, a woman in yellow, seen against a pinkish background and with tawny lights and feeling of sun throughout. The glow of sun is felt in all Borgard's work. "Light and Shadow" shows a woman In white, reading In a garden. "In a Dutch Garden" and "Under the Pergola" are outdoor studies of brilliant contrasts, the women's figures giving notes of charm.

"Reflections" is an indoor piece, a woman in reddish toned waist and pink skirt, reflected cleverly in a glass. The color note in "Study, Head," is delightful, and In "Morning Sun," a woman in white, out of doors, Is an ingratiating theme. "The Blue Gown" is also a theme of distinction. The women's figures in the laurel pictures are a part of the mystical drift of the flowers, poetic In type. In "Miss Florence's Garden" there Is a figure also.

The garden environments Of the canvases are beautiful, and "Spring" gives lovely suggestions. The cliryanthemum and other flower Studies are decorative and vital. Norwegian- landscapes are well painted. New Murals Unveiled at American Museum of Natural History. Will S.

Taylor's new mural decorations, representing customs of the Indians of British Columbia, have been unveiled in the North Pacific Hall of tho American Museum of Natural History, Manhattan. They are a part of the series intended to bring together science and art. The setting of the murals is that of gayly painted totem-poles. The first decoration, "The Wooing." is based on the customs of the Nootka Indians. Tho second panel represents "The Potlach," illustrating life among the Kwakuitl Indians.

In the same hall is a case in which Is a model, also Illustrating the Potlatch ceremony. The third mural is entitled, "The Welcoming Ceremony," The actors in this ceremonial are Bella Coola Indians. The fourth and last mural is called "The Initiation," and shows some of the mysterious rites observed by the Tsimshian Indians. The panels may be seen on the north side of the North Pacific Hall, on the first floor of the museum. Paintings of Scottish Scones of the Arlington Gallery.

An exhibition of Scottish paintings, landscapes, high and baronial interiors, by C. Lewis Mitchell, on view at the Arlington Gallery, is unusual, In that they were painted by a Scotchman. Two large canvases, "Falls of the Dochart," and "Spate on the Dochart," are full of swirl of water. The color and atmosphere, the group of Caledonian firs (rare trees and much prized) make a scene of searching interest. Beauty of sunlight and greenness, and charm of birches in "Sunlight Among the Birches," make it a truly sylvan type of picture.

"Birch Bridge. Near Balmoral." has also charm of sun and foliage, with hills, purplish with heather. A pastoral landscape, where little planks of birch wood across a stream reveal the countryside. "Cottages by the Brig O'Turk" is another canvas expressive of charm. The "Tam-Na-Klest Burn, Dee-side, Highlands," with purple heather-grown hills, and the figure of a shepherd with shoep, giving pastoral feeling.

a delightful theme. Autumn coloring is shown 1n several pictures. a panel-shaped picture showing "A Trossachs Stream," In sun. Lochnagar" has yellowish autumnal' trees, with worm ruddy lights. Another autumn bit of coloring is "Ben Venue, the heart of the Trossachs," where picturesque mountain scenery and sunny atmosphere males an Ingratiating picture.

"West on the Tay," not. far from the nrtut'ft home, shows shimmering atmosphere. Among the bridge scenes are "Killhi Bridge" of arched stone, with big rocks, dark stream and fresh-toned trees; "Struan Bridge," with dark reflections in water; "Bridge on the Errochdie." "Bridge on the Dochart," with rocks strongly showing, and "Over the Roman RoinI to Ballnter," Is a wide and i.up'it lnucip.

"Jess Cattanach at tho Reel." ts a splendid type; the woman in the Highland cottage has a free sweep of arms. Two picturesque interiors of the old baronial home, Earlshall, make a strong Impression. They are well painted, but it Is the romantic feeling In these canvases which charms. "In the Gallery," "In the Hall," and "The Hall" are the titles.

Besides a new collection of paintings by distinguished foreign artists, in the main gallery at Knoedler's, there are In a smaller room, nineteen portraits by August Franzen, most of them being loans.

Intentness of expression and liveliness of outlook in the faces of Mr. Franzen's sitters make his a most agreeable collection to look upon; each face shows enjoyment of existence, especially such canvases as "William H. Taft," former President, standing, and in his of office; the Swedish Minister to this country, loaned by Mrs. Ekengron; Augustus Schermcrhorn," loaned I by thi I'nton Club; "Mrs. William H.I BeckniBn," "Mrs.

S. Rosenwald" "Mrs. Henry Mulnhard," "Louis Anspacher," "Barton Hepburn," "Mrs. D. Fairfax Bush" and "Miss Cornelia Lunt." Depth and richness of color are striking features of all of Mr.

Franzen's Work, and to them are added good drawing and modeling. Two young women in "Congratulations," shown in profile, ure fine foils to the strictly portrait feature of the collection. A large canvas, "Mrs. George S. Palmer and Children." In the entrance hall, suggests in treatment, tho old English masters, with their use of open country to enhance a decorative effect.
