almost wholly confined so far. Many of his works are in well known
public and private collections, especially those noted for their progres-
sive attitude. The show includes drawings in various media of many
different types of subject matter.
We continue again the series of one man exhibitions by local artists.
Inaugurating the season are the works of Lucille Jeffries. Miss Jeffries
will exhibit a group of her watercolors, known to Dallas through her
entries in the Allied Arts and Texas General Exhibitions.
The second Dallas artist will be Barbara L. Maples. Both of these
young ladies teach in the Dallas Public School system and both have
studied at Columbia University.
One of the major key exhibitions of the year in the Museum will be
that of Nineteenth Century American Painting. It will consist of
between twenty-five and thirty paintings by artists who were definitely
working with the American scene more than one hundred years ago.
The artists included are listed in the catalogue below. They are sur-
prisingly varied in character, really having in common only the age
and country in which they lived. Obviously they painted for many
different reasons. Some, driven by the inexplicable urge of creation,
needed no other excuse to set them to work upon their canvases. Others
equally clearly painted for the cash which Messrs. Currier and Ives
would give them for reproduction rights. Some were thoughtful, some
naive. Some had training at home and abroad, while others just picked
up their brushes and started in. All were inhabitants of this new
country, with its roots in European civilization but its face toward the
half tamed wilderness. Some were highly respected, others barely toler-
ated, with condescending amusement. As a group, however, they give
the lie to those who say we have no American tradition in art. Increasing
interest in these men has been one of the remarkable accompaniments
to the apparent renaissance of the past few years in contemporary
American Art.
