Last week Louis Eilshemius was again hailed as "the greatest living master"-this time by somebody else.* In three of Manhattan's swank 57th Street galleries- Kleemann, Boyer, Valentine, he was being given simultaneous one-man shows. Another Eilshemius exhibition was touring the Pacific Coast; a fifth was about to be sent through the Middle West. In seven short years the Mahatma has turned from a crank to a cult. Manhattan's sedate Metropolitan Museum has three of his canvases, and he is represented in virtually every important public and private art collection...
Last week the same Albert Sterner, now 74, held an exhibition of 18 paintings and 32 prints, drawings and monotypes at Manhattan's Kleemann Galleries. The art world paid respectful attention, for Artist Sterner, who has been called the "ablest figure painter in America," is at least one of the ablest and most forceful draftsmen of the nude in the U. S. At last week's exhibition his portrait heads, still lifes and landscapes were unexceptionable, but several of his nudes showed that his rapid, unerring draftsmanship has not faded with the years...
...curious reputation of 73-year-old Louis Eilshemius, whose painting was first honored by the National Academy of Design in 1892 and has since passed through various degrees of fantasy toward a vanishing point of artistic merit, received the support of a carefully pruned exhibition at the Kleemann Galleries. Billed as "All of Eilshemius," the show covers the years from 1884 to 1909. Some of Eilshemius' "twilight" paintings and landscapes still looked remarkable to connoisseurs last week, as most of his nudes looked incredibly vapid...
...Also worthy of any gallery-goer's attention was a Derain show at the Brummer Gallery, a Reginald Marsh exhibition at the Rehn Galleries. Bushy-lipped walter Pach laid himself open to the annual attack of fellow art critics by showing his most recent water colors at the Kleemann Galleries. Durand-Ruel went down to their cellars and produced about a half million dollars worth of Renoirs, and at the Gallery of American Indian Art, a show of water colors went on view by the darling of Santa Fe's art colony, the plump and talented Pueblo squaw...
...artists whose eminence no intelligent critic in 1936 would dream of challenging. Manhattan's 57th Street, commercial centre of the U. S. art world, last week decorously hailed the opening of the Season with memorial exhibitions of the work of two of these recently canonized masters. At the Kleemann and Keppel Galleries respectively appeared the works of the late Arthur Bowen Davies, the late George Wesley Bellows...
