Albany Institute of History and Art, Cleveland Art Museum, and the Milwaukee Art Institute. Water colors by Prescott Jones at Doll and Richards present a retrospective survey of his work in this medium. Conspicuous are handsome harbor scenes made during a government sponsored trip to Alaska some years ago and able work produced at Rockport and in Maine. Doll and Richards has been assembling for some time many paintings by the late Arthur Goodwin, especially identified with the Boston scene. Well remembered are his delineations of snow on the Common, traffic on Tremont Street with the spire of Park Street Church in the distance, and people beneath the trees at the Public Garden. That Goodwin's work, though not profound, has qualities that endear it to many people was proved by the finely presented exhibition of his paintings at the Addison Gallery in Andover last year. Ships and more ships at the Charles D. Childs Gallery take one back to the halcyon days when Massachusetts shipyards hummed with activity in preparation for the launching of deep-sea craft that could compete for the Far Eastern trade. The fast clipper has disappeared from the ocean but its romance lingers on in old prints of an ever increasing value. The traditional ship painter put his boat sharply into profile with every yard arm, bit of sail and rope, correctly placed. In some way this manner James Butterworth, William York, and Samuel Walters handsomely commemorated the elegant clipper. Other noted marine painters now represented are Thomas Birch, Fitzhugh Lane and J. N. Pierce of this city. William Bradford maintained his studio in constant view of the New Bedford waterfront.
