Born in Russia in 1878, Pianist Gabrilowitsch was a European celebrity at the age of 20. But his mature years as a concert artist were closely bound up with the U. S. From 1900 on he made some 25 U. S. concert tours. Eventually he made the U. S. his permanent home, became a U. S. citizen, married a U. S. woman, Clara Clemens, concert-singing daughter of Author Mark Twain...
Juicy & Nocturnal. At the gallery of tall Bostonian Hudson D. Walker, watercolors by quiet Harry Glassgold pleased visitors with their dexterity and light-filled colors. In several of them 30-year-old Artist Glassgold got away with a few Marin tricks of shorthand with unusual impunity. Most critics accounted his work more lively if not more accomplished than the watercolors which Dealer Walker hung up this week by 28-year-old, waggish Stuyvesant Van Veen. Typical of his dry, ingenious work were half-a-dozen "nocturnes"' of New England small towns, among them Peterborough Backstreet...
...problems but with the vitality which seems to make a picture alive. . . ." Thus some-what unnecessarily announcing himself as a non-social painter, Victor de Pauw displayed 30 paintings at the Charles Morgan Gallery. Most were good & alive, though many were over facile.

Unlike his great predecessor in this field, Toulouse-Lautrec (see below), Artist de Pauw composes better than he draws...
Three years ago Gerstle Mack's Paul Cezanne was published and accepted almost at once as a definitive biography. Painstaking and fully documented, it presented Cezanne as a great intuitive inventor in the art of painting; and its sympathetic account of the artist's crotchety life cleared the air of much second-rate chatter. Biographer Mack's new subject is Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa,* who died of drink and exhaustion in 1901, aged 36, the greatest French master of line between Daumier and Picasso...
When John Evelyn in 1641 thus recorded the flourishing artistic life of Holland, Jan Vermeer of Delft, who was to become the most finished realist of the Dutch School, was just nine years old. Last fortnight, visitors at a far greater fair-Queen Wilhelmina's Jubilee (TIME, Sept. 12)-found Rotterdam again furnished with pictures, and the greatest attraction of all was a painting by Jan Vermeer. Displayed among 450 Netherlands-owned masterpieces at the Boymans Museum, Christ at Emmaus (see cut) is no drollery but one of the three religious paintings ascribed to the artist. To Netherlanders...
