...Modern pictures in Boston and Cambridge, places which have a deserved reputation as centers of alent cultivation of the Seven Arts. One may search in vain for the works of the foremost living painters in the Boston Museum, in Fenway Court, or in the Fogg. Neither Matisse nor Bonnard, Picasso nor Derain is to be found in these three more or less comprehensive collections, save in a few prints and drawings. It is even more astonishing that the great founders of the contemporary tradition--men who have been dead twenty years are equally neglected. It is actually impossible...
Homer Saint-Gaudens, Director of Fine Arts at Carnegie Institute, announced the decision of the six judges sitting on the jury of awards for the Institute's International Exhibition. The jury members were: Pierre Bonnard of Paris, Giovanni Romagnoli of Bologna, Charles Sims of London, and three U. S. artists: Charles W. Hawthorne, Howard Giles and Gifford Beal. It is amazing what a lot of thunder the Institute is able to stir up every year over the award of a first prize of $1,500, a second of $1,000, and a third of $500. But even...

Bonnard's Le Palmier is a jungle as gemmed...
...disciples about him, in his home on the Avenue du Bois, Anatole France expressed his opinions on life, people, literature, always with kindly irony, a gentle skepticism. It was thus that the people of France came to think of the author of Thais and The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard and The Red Lily and The Rotisserie of Queen Pédauque -a philosopher, an immortal symbol. Now, in the 80th year of his life, Anatole France is dead...
...loan show of the Contemporary Art Society in Colnaghi's, Bond St., London, the Prime Minister of England opened an exhibition of modernist French painting. Represented were Braque, Perain, Dufresne, Dufy, Flandrin, Friez, Marchand, Matisse, Picasso, Segonzac, Utrillo, Bonnard. The Prime Minister seemed quite familiar with such names and quite at home in the midst of Contemporary Art. "He proceeded to state, without false gusto, a few simple truths about Art, pointing out that Art, like Nature, never dies, that the old masters of today were once contemporaries, a fact too frequently forgotten by their exclusive worshippers, that...
