...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...
Different from the explosive genius of John Marin (see above), was another exhibit of landscapes which opened quietly this week at Manhattan's Kleemann Galleries : the first one-man show in seven years for Max Kuehne. Artist Kuehne's canvases hang in many museums. Year after year his etchings and lithographs have been listed in the various print societies' Best-Prints-of-the-Year selections. He once sold 32 pictures at a crack to Archer M. Huntington. He is one of the few U. S. painters whose works are included in the great collection of irascible Albert...
Walters' Iceland. Eighteen bright, loosely painted landscapes made up a show at the Kleemann Galleries. Most interesting fact about them was that they were views of a land almost unknown to the U. S.-Iceland. Enthusiastically Explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson wrote a long foreword for the catalog and elaborate footnotes to explain how well Artist Emile Walters had caught the brilliance, clarity and absence of perspective in the Arctic landscape...
