Again the Allied, Inc. 

It is the thirty-third annual show of the Allied Artists of America, Inc., that you will find installed in the New York Historical Society's special exhibition galleries, there to remain through Nov. 24. This probably isn't the first time I have remarked that these annuals look disconcertingly alike. We may safely assume that no canvas or piece of sculpture is ever sent in twice, let alone twice in succession. Yet it might almost as well be last year's show, or; clairvoyantly, next year's. 

The work on the walls and on pedestals is in preponderance academic: academism of the right wing, Oh very, now by well known, often able artists, again by newcomers. A few pictures depart more or less from the routine norm, plying an expressionist way, or what have you. There is one out-and-out abstraction, K. G. Kurtis' "Mother and Child." Several paintings, irrespective of category, stand out in lonesome defiance—I am thinking in particular of the powerful "Fisherman's Dream" by Alfred D. Crimi, whose fresco in the Rutgers Presbyterian Church was so ill-advisedly obliterated a few weeks past. Setta Solakians's water-color achieves genuine style and there is nice feeling too in landscapes by Isobel Gardner and Etta V. DeBaun. James Carlin's "The Porch" is a lusty brush statement. I thought Marion Sanford's "Spring" one of the best sculptural works. 

Fourteen prizes and honorable mentions were handed around.

Artists to Attend Montclair Exhibit

Artists from this vicinity have been invited to attend "Varnishing Night," the opening event of the 16th Annual New Jersey State Exhibition at the Montclair Art Museum which will take place tomorrow night. Only the artists and the press are admitted to this preview showing but during American Art Week, Nov. 3-9, sale of the oils, water colors, prints and sculptures will be promoted, and the general public is invited.

Stern and Marion Van Harken from Paterson, will be represented, and Otto Benz, Mrs. Otto Benz, and Alice Sage Burrows, from North Haledon; Eloisa Schwab and Marion Warren, Radburn; Etta V. Debaun, Ramsey; Margaret T. Davies, Isobel Gardner, Joseph P. Gaugler, and Eleanor L. Rome, Ridgewood; James Wilfred Kerr, Waldwick; Lois N. Merrill, Allendale; Robert M. Garrison, Stuart W.

Scheffel, Clifton; Helen Elobw and Stanley Kay, Fair Lawn; Elsie Wilde, Glen Rock; Grif Teller, Little Falls; and Mahlon A. Cline and John S. Howell from Montville. 

This exhibition opens to the public on Nov. 3, and will remain on view through Nov. 24. On Nov. 2 the jury of award, Hugh Botts, Marion Sanford and Frederic Whitaker will meet to decide the winners of the seven cash prizes offered this year, and the awards will be presented on Sunday, Nov. 24, at 4 p.m. This exhibition is sponsored jointly by the Montclair Art Museum and the New Jersey Chapter of the American Artists Professional League, and includes the work of 191 artists from all over the state. 

Those interested in purchasing the work of the artists will find the listings in the catalogue, and the museum is waiving commissions and is asking the artists to reduce their prices as a further stimulation; many of them have consented to as much as a 10 per cent discount on the established sale price.

Laura Jacobus, museum librarian, may be consulted for further information.

The third annual exhibition by members of the American Artists Professional League brings together at the galleries of the Architectural League a variety of paintings and sculpture from ultra-academic to sheer abstract. The level of the big show has been well held up. Citations must be made of paintings by Hilda Katz, Allen Townsend Terrell, Naomi Lorne, Nils Hogner, Harry Hering, Charles Harsanyi and Arnold Hoffman, and sculpture (figure pieces) by Lu Duble, Marion Sanford and Moissaye Marans, among much sound and interesting work. The show is the major event in the annual celebration of American Art Week.
