This exhibition of forty-six painters and sculptors under thirty-five years of age is intended to prove the artistic vitality of the younger generation. Several nationalities and many races are included—Russian, Hawaiian, German, Rumanian, Japanese,French, Spanish, Italian, Irish, and American among whom are Mexicans, Pueblos, Kiowas and the descendants of immigrants. Several young artists who are practically unknown in New York are in cluded while others of well established reputations have been omitted with the intention of reserving their work for future exhibitions of similar character. No special phase of contemporary painting is emphasized because no phase seems dominant. Young painters follow in almost every possible tradition. A young Italian paints with the exact realism of the 15th century. A young Russian pays homage to Picasso. A young Hawaiian paints like a Parisian. A young German turns his back on Klee and Kandinsky and paints as an Impres sionist. A young American reminds one of Courbet, another of Diirer, another of Bueckelaer, another of van Gogh. Here are painters of meticulous fact, of abstract , of surrealist paradox, of the human comedy, of romantic mel ancholy, of the mechanical world, using rich, sensuous pigment, pigment dry and thin as a miniature, pigment laid on with a trowel. Almost equal variety is apparent among the sculptors. Some seem interested in the forms latent in human heads and human bodies modelled or hewn with varying degrees of style and search for character. Others find more abstract com position of mass and plane of first importance, while to several the sensuous surface of the medium seems of primary value—the svelt, sinuous texture of wood, light falling on marble, the immaculate perfection of brass, the casual roughness of granite boulders. If for the visitor the variety afforded by these young painters and sculptors seems a confusion or even an anarchy of taste let him remember that in our civilization it is almost impossible for the artist to avoid contact with scores of inherited traditions and exotic styles. Only Oqwa Pi can work in a pure p X~t( I i c— p/J 1 r

tradition untroubled by awareness of "problems" or of "influences —and per haps even he . . But we must watch the vacillation of a compass which may be about to point a more certain direction. A. H. B., JR.
