There were 47 works by French painters and sculptors, two by French poets, one by a dressmaker.* With the exception of Pablo Picasso, almost every famed name in modern French painting was represented. Henri Matisse saw Lani in three lines, Andre Derain painted her very swarthily, Haim Soutine as a Spectre. One painter gave her 14 eyes, another seven, another one. She was seen as a machine, as a horned toad, as a Negress. Galleryman Brummer shrewdly put no photographs of her on exhibition...

Paris painters, recalling Carnegie's previous recognition of more salient French painters (first prize, 1927, to Henri Matisse; first prize, 1928, to André Derain) were considerably puzzled by this award. Edward Bruce painted an Italian pear tree, leafless, in full blossom. This canvas won first honorable mention and $300. Meticulously Painter Bruce had picked out each bud against a leaden sky, producing a pleasant, symmetrically composed picture, eclectic, Japanesque. It is not particularly remarkable...
