ROCKPORT SCENES WIN ARTIST MEDAL

Charles Kalein, an artist, who has been coming here for about 25 years, has been awarded a medal at the Panama Exposition at San Francisco for a series of four paintings of scenes in the Rockport woods.

Before coming here this season, Mr. Kalein held two successful exhibitions at Cincinnati, his winter home. He has been coming here for nine months in the year, for the past quarter of a century. For 10 years he did considerable work in the Rockport woods and was named by many who knew him intimately "The Hermit of the Woods."

Frank Duveneck, another artist, who has made Cape Ann his home for many years during the summer season, was also awarded a gold medal at the exhibition, for his life's work.

Frank Duveneck

Frank Duveneck was a man touched by the gods. He had the vision that is given only to masters of their art. His leadership in American art related to other days, perhaps, back in the seventies, when under his tutelage a younger school was developed and the traditions of the Hudson River school of painters were abandoned. But his influence was a continuous one, and his name remained, throughout his life, among the first few in American art.

It was the privilege of Cincinnatians to know intimately the man Duveneck. It was characteristic of him that he devoted so many years to the teaching of others rather than in work which would have increased his prestige as a painter or sculptor. The Cincinnati Art School has suffered an irreparable loss. A beloved personality, as well as a great artist, has passed into memory.

High appreciation of the work of the late Frank Duveneck is voiced in a letter of condolence received by Charles Duveneck, brother of the painter, from Joseph Pennell, famous etcher. The letter says:

"Your brother has gone, but he has left name and fame. In the future he will live with the few—the very few—artists of the United States. There are some of us still living who know this."

The Acquisitions of the Pennsylvania Academy.

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has purchased "The Fox Hunt," by Winslow Homer, the "Turkish Page," by Frank Duveneck, and the "Portrait of Mr. Gladstone at Downing Street," by John McLure Hamilton, from the exhibition which has just been closed. Mr. Homer's picture and that of Mr. Duveneck are well known in Boston, where they have been exhibited. Mr. Hamilton's portrait of Gladstone is a replica of the portrait lately bought by the Luxembourg in Paris. It is said to be one of the finest likenesses ever made of the great English statesman. Mr. Hamilton is a Philadelphian, and was a pupil in the school of the Pennsylvania Academy. He is now in this country, but has for some years lived in England. The portrait will be included in the Temple collection, already full of notable examples by the foremost American artist.
