BR1L.L.1ANT colors, daringly ap plied, are noted in the exhibition at the Portland Art Museum, which opened early last week and will continue until April 24 Easter Mon day. The pictures shown in the collection are excellent and interesting examples of the modern movement in art. They are vivid, colorful and pleasing. But they aren't extreme. Even the un initiated can appreciate them and will not need an explanation of what he sees. This exhibit was shown at the San Diego Exposition and is now on its way to its home in thn East. The painters are all N'ew York men of the modern school, nearly- all of them be ing comparatively young'. Some were pupils of ltobert Henri, one of the best known men of the present day art world. On entering the gallery the eye first is caught by Ernest Lawson's "Cloud Shadows." a large painting depicting an ideal hamlet near the sea. Overhead are the great flying clouds which cast deep shadows on the landscape, intensi fying the green of grass and shrub bery and giving the picture its title. Dock Scene Is Lifelike. 'The Boathouse in "Winter." a snow scape with sparkling atmosphere and showing in the distance the City Col lege of New York, is another Lawson picture that is sure to attract. "The Hill at Innwood" is another, rich In coloring. George Bellows has pictured on a large canvas a dock scene in New York harbor. Men busy with their work, dray horses standing ready to haul the load, boats, tugs, the smoke of the big city all are faithfully repro duced in a strong style full of feeling. "New York," another scene in the heart of the busy metropolis, is full of action. Bellows' other offering is a night scene. "The Approach to the Bridge." The great awe. the loneliness of a strange cily is experienced by those who "get" the message of this paint ing. Of .different type is "The Little Girl in 'White," a pleasing picture of youth. Irish Child Picture Allure. "William Glackens has handled his outdoor scenes of "Summer in Long Island." "A Cape Cod Shore" and "Skat ing in Central Park" in a delightful manner. There is action and tine color work in all the ehows. George Luks has given "Woman With Macaws." "The Theologian," "Phan tasy." "Cuban Dancers" and "Children of the Slums." The last is full of pa thos. The-dancers are bright and gay, full of life; the theologian is dignifiei, impressive. Shadows in the face at close range are of unusual coloring. ltobert Henri's Jri.sh children have drawn admiring groups of art lovers ever since they were hung in the gal lery. There is "Pat." whose eyes. close to; are vivid emerald green, and yet at a few paces they become bright blue. Pat has red. hair, painted against a stroD rose-colored bacii- ground, which may sound startling to those of the old school, but is in fact a happy combination. Another "Irish Lad" has a green setting for his merry, boyish face. Henri's "Irish Lass" has Just a hint of solemnity. His "Mary O'D" Is a regular girl, healthy and happy, tn her pink apron. Two Indian studies. "Opo Tse" and "Tom Po Qui." are rich in color effects, brilliant, strong. The sea any the sky tire depicted in two beautiful paintings by Childe Has sam. "In Brittany" shows a man and a maid. The man appears to be waiting for his answer. The detail of wood land and the distant shrubs with at mospheric effect is charming. "The Beryl Gorge, Appledore." shows rocks, sea "and sky and a nude woman looking through the gorge. Probably the most modern or ex treme of all is Carl Sprinchorn's "Gods at Play." Youth splashing in the water is depicted. A A sunny window in "An Interior," "Virginia III," a graceful girl; "Sport ing Life," stern, almost brutal charac ter study. th.tH(i acq funo.a& th.& plltt- ings of the young artist, Guy du Bois. Decidedly modern is the theme, "Movies," used by John Sloan, who has shown a. crowd gathering round u. movie theater, hurrying to the show. His "Chinese Restaurant" is interest ing, full of color and life. City and coountry have been drawn on for in spiration. The exhibit will remain at the mu seum for the next two weeks, giving opportunity to all who are interested to see some of tho best modern paint ings that were shown in the southern exposition.
