In this exhibition at the 

 Museum there has been an 

 opportunity to see brought 

 together more than one hun- 

 dred canvases and bronzes, 

 loans from their owners and 

 pieces still in the artist's 

 hands, and the effect has 

 been to all who saw it unex- 

 pectedly convincing. His 

 work is marvelous in its

 American artist still 

 relatively a young man, who 

 excels in pencil, water color 

 and oil and emphatically as 

 a sculptor? Again, his sub- 

 jects are taken broadly from 

 the various classes of the 

 animal world and thus the 

 diversity of subject is almost 

 as surprising as the range 

 of technique. Canvases or 

 bronzes of tigers, leopards, 

 lions and pumas, are dis- 

 played beside those of dogs 

 or bears or buffaloes, beside 

 harpy eagles and pheasants, 

 Bermuda or Sargasso fishes, 

 elephants or great prehistoric 

 dinosaurs. 



Expert opinion can only 

 pronounce the quality of the 

 work of the highest. It va-

 great strength lies in his 

 work with the big felines, 

 while some of it was done 

 merely as illustrative work 

 appearing in magazines. Yet

 birds, besides being original and unusual in subject
