...Walter Pach set out to be a painter. He presently found that he and everyone else had more fun when he criticized other people's paintings (Ananias or the False Artist, The Masters of Modern Art, An Hour of Art). A little, well-liked man muffling a torrent of talk in a brown torrent of mustache, he has never flinched, after his fiercest attacks on other men's works of art, from putting his own on view. Last week he did it again, at Manhattan's Knoedler Galleries, his first exhibition since...
...colleagues, the critics, looked doubtfully at Walter Pach's show. The pictures were dull. There was a big fresco that Pach's Class of 1903 at the College of the City of New York had agreed to give their alma mater. In it three lumpish women illustrating the College's motto, Respice, Adspice and Prospice, symbolically wave their arms about at the past, present and future.

There were...
...Handsome Dan, II, bulldog mascot, to be the work of Harvard wretches attempting reprisal for the theft of the Lampoon's Ibis has, in the argot of crime, a number of angles.

Added Artist John Sloan: "These are the first examples of an inspired, fired man's mural art in this country...
...Independents were a brave cause in 1916 when able young Artists Robert Henri, John Sloan, George Bellows. Samuel Halpert, Walter Pach and A. S. Bay-linson founded it. Then the National Academy of Design's snobbism smothered unorthodox U. S. art. Now Henri, Halpert and Bellows are dead, and the discovery of new U. S. art has become a highly organized business. Except for pictures by Founders Sloan, Pach, Baylinson and a few others, only "undiscovered" art hung last week on the walls of a long room like a warehouse. The Independents have no judges, no jury, no awards...
