There are still available the pa- by DeCamp and Jean McLene PAINTING BY MAX KUEHNE Through the gift of Mrs. Payne Whitney, the sculptor, the Institute has received for its per- manent collection the painting, "Marine- land," by Max Kuehne. This is pre- sumably one of his splendid things done on the coast of Maine, a picture of great beauty. A headland juts out into the sea, a clear day with a sparkling light driving the short choppy waves of water and land making of it a spectacle. The clear, luminous light of the sea, the grasp of subject matter, the trial of the mood of the sea, is a comprehension that comes only with a sure and spirited tech- nique and with knowledge. The Detroit Institute of Ar- chitecture has just received an anonymous gift of one of Mary Cassatt's oil paint- ings, entitled, "In the Garden," show- ing mother and her child in pleasant surroundings. The mother, in a white dress, is seated on a bench, with her left on the child, and her right hand resting on her lap. The child, in a white dress, is seated on the ground, with her left hand on her mother's lap, and her right hand holding a straw hat. The background is a garden, with a lawn and shrubbery in the distance. The exhibition on display this week is of threefold interest. It is that members of the Fine Arts Committee are not merely theorists but creators as well; it is a study of the subject which it is English scenes as studied by landscape artists of the best type, and it is an exhibition of the work of a woman artist of ability. Without saying that the Fogg reals to the artist, after all one does not be a connoisseur to enjoy it; it is an exhibition of the work of a woman artist of ability.

The same performance is re- peated and the visitors that throng galleries all day are able at any time to come into the museum instruc- tion room to rest and enjoy the lecture. The machine itself is a fine one with a strong objective and an endless belt closed in the shape of two parallel pulleys, one containing the captions, the other the pictures. The first slide is a title, the second an introduction, and then the remaining forty-four slides are thrown on the screen in alter- nating or twenty-two each of captions and slides. Each picture is left on the screen long enough to enable the audience to read the caption and to study it in the light of the pre- senting caption.

NEWARK MUSEUM ASSOCIATION On December 7, 1921, the Newark Museum Association opened the ex- tensive of its Tibetan collection, con- sisting of over 700 items and combin- edward N. Crane Memorial Collection received in 1911, and a collection of the same period, presented by a group of friends of the Museum in 1916. There are 73 scroll paintings in the collection, representing a large number of the deities and saints of Tibetan Buddhism and showing great vari- ation in technical skill and artistic ex- pression. A few of these works are modern, but the majority are not later than the middle of the 19th century. A set of fifteen paintings similar in their brocade mountings and red and yellow borders, represents episodes in the life of the Buddha. The 202 enumerated scenes are composed and painted with great skill; the colors are clear and rich and the mounting represents the best Tibetan work. Chinese influences are, of course, quite distinct in some of the paintings. There which they are mounted. The exhibition closed January 1922. MANUFACTURERS AND DESIGNERS An interesting development of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Man- ufacturers' Exhibition is the fact that, whereas six years ago when the exhibitions were started, none of the manufacturers would allow the name of the designer to appear with the exhibits, this year both the design- ers and manufacturers' names appear on the labels. This is a real advance in the education of the public and in the value of the exhibition. The exhibition opened on January 16 and con- tinues through February 26. FRENCH EXPORT TAX ON ART REVOKED The French Senate has ratified the action of the Chamber of Deputies abrogating a tax on the exportation of works of art. The law was in force for eight months and did much to hamper the export of French art. In lieu of compensation the 10 per cent tax on the turn-over which is to be far, has not affected exported works of art, will be claimed. As to such works of art as may have national interest, such as a great historical painting, the law of December 1913, will be put into force. It states the inventorying and classification of cer- tain works among monuments of histo- rical interest when this is advised.
