In Cleveland

Modest and mannerly was the annual May exhibition of local artists which opened last week in Cleveland. The crowds were modish, social and enthusiastic; the pictures were mostly recognizable subjects pleasantly painted. A careful jury did not favor either of the two exhibited nudes, nor the several strange modernisms. Clarence H. Carter took a first in the landscape class with Lake Erie Patterns, a conservative work pleasantly demonstrating shade-and-shadow effects on a greensward. Mr. Carter also won the figure-composition first prize with his Ezra Davenport, a portrait of a stolid York-state farmer. Second in this category was Mrs. Anna Tenggren, Artist, painted by her friend Elmer Brubeck, who employed a peculiar baboon blue in the delineation of Mrs. Tenggren's mouth and chin.

An eggplant captured the still-life award for Louise B. Maloney. There were also pastels, watercolors, murals and frescoes, woodcuts and photographs, with prizes for each.
