THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE OF ART 221

Abram Poole, Frederic Clay Bartlett, and Charles Gordon Cutler followed the flower pieces at the Art Club. Mr. Poole’s four paintings “Portrait of Mile. Orsolf,” “Daisies,” “Model,” and “Spanish Sisters” were shown in the latter part of the exhibition. Mr. Bartlett’s canvases included, in the main, scenes in Venice, Paris, China and Egypt. Differing widely in mood, Mr. Poole and Mr. Bartlett share a directness of expression which permits the effective use of the decorative element. Mr. Cutler, an individualist of a different type, contributed characteristic water colors, portraying New England landscapes. His landscapes are in no sense realistic, but the atmosphere of the New England coast, which, to the artist, is the inspiration for his compositions, is suggested in the re-creation of his emotional imagination, taken on the basis of an Oriental fabric.
