WOMEN ARTISTS IN ANNUAL SHOW
New York Society Exhibits
at Riverside Museum.

The society is holding its present exhibition at the Riverside Museum, 103rd street and Riverside Drive. There can certainly be no complaint here as to the way they are housed. They have ample space. The sculptures have a room to themselves. The water colors, drawing and oils are similarly accomodated. Everyone seems to have sent as many things as he pleased-from two or three to half a dozen-and every painter is hung "on the line." As a result of these ideal conditions the two score exhibitors have 148 works on display.
In spite of its happy installation, the general effect of the exhibition can hardly be considered exciting. But perhaps that was intentional, there being so much excitement in the air just now, the artists may have felt there was no use in adding anything to it. Of course, there is no little competent work in evidence, but it seems rather lacking in novelty, whether leaning toward the conservative or more radical forms of expression.
In the water color section, which seems on the whole to rather top the oils in interest and accomplished expression, attractive work is contributed by Ethel Katz, Dorothy Lubell Feigin and Blanche Lazzel. Anmong the sculptors, Doris Caesar, Rhys Caparn, Sonia Gordon Brown, Leona Curtis Evelyn Koback and Cornelia van A. Chapin call for attention.
Still other whom it will hardly do to overlook are Magda Pach-a decidedly well equipped newcomer, who paints along rather conservative lines - Helena Bernstein, Lili Blumnen, Lucir Hourdebaight, Margaret Huntington, Edna Perkins-for her contributions to Americana-Beulah Stevenson, Arline Wingate and Gladys Young.

EVENING POST APR 1 - 1939

Independent Hold Exhibit
Annual Show Installed at Grand Central
Palace

"No jury, no prizes" and a few surprises mark the annual show of the Society of Independent Artists now installed and open to the public in the Grand Central Palace. As Walter Pach says in the foreword, "It will have riches and it will have rubbish." It does.
The improved sculpture arrangement of last year is continued and the entries on the whole are good. Jose de Creeft's dramatic wood sculptures dominate the section. There are other striking pieces by Warren Wheelock, Cornelia Van A. Chapin,  Rosa Newman Walkinsa, Ruth K. Kahn, Sally Ryan and Boris Kagen. Pietro Lazzari contributes the bughouse entry, the "New Yorker," and a piece of plumbing, and makeshift at that.
Sound things among the paintings must be sorted out of a rank growth. Some of the major pieces here are Philip Evergood's butcher boy in baked enamel, A. S. Baylinson's vigorous figure study, Reginald Marsh's breezy sketch of Coney Island crowds, Iskantor's poetic melancholy of the barnyard and Dorothy Eisner's trenchant "Portrait of an Artist."
Note, too, Tricca's solid still life; Bryon Browne's grappling figures, a fine amusement park study by Fred Bucholz, Harsanyi's attractive winter scene and the playful "Aesop's Fables" by Dr. Frederick M. Margaretten.
Additional exhibitors are M. Azzi Aldrich, John Taylor Arms, George C. Ault, Theresa F. Bernstein, J. A. Buzzelli, Randall Davey, Lawrence Brennan, Louise Bourgeois, Barbara Baldwin, Bertram Hartman, Mary E. Hutchinson, Frida Lulinsky, Ada Morenski, William Meyerowitz, Magda Pach, Leo Sarkadi, John Sloan, Beulah Stevenson, Herbert Tschudy, Allen Tucker and A. Walkowitz.
