First prize ($1,500 & gold medal) went to André Derain, a French modernist. His picture was a still-life of two dead game birds on a table, with a rifle beside them. Composition and brush work are sure; technique is deft...
...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 for an amateur to study...

These artists are the Whigs of modern painting, an aesthetic Jacobin Club. Followers of the innovations of Derain and Picasso, their art is to intensify reality by warping it, to convince by deception. Notably successful among them are Judson Smith, landscape painter, Warren Wheelock, Earnest Fiene. The latter, with two canvases, Spring and Autumn, represents the most effective use of the Derainged perspective, making visible the spirit...
