KERAMIC STUDIO 
(Continued from page 2) 
awful truth is always with us. There is another and larger 
exhibition of foreign war posters on view at the St. Paul Public 
Library. These are even more stupendous and convincing 
than the smaller group. They are from the collection of Frank 
M. Gregg of Cleveland, and contain drawings of the famous 
Brangwyn and a group of strong charcoal drawings by Lucian 
Jonas, made in the trenches.

The Twin City Keramic Club inaugurated the first of its 
Spring exhibits in March at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, 
and opened the exhibit on the afternoon of the 15th with an 
informal tea to the public. The exhibit was quite out of the 
ordinary, as it contained features not usually included. One 
was a case containing commercial china, selected to demonstrate 
good and bad taste in decoration. There was also a case of 
work in the different stages, showing the processes. These 
were each labeled and proved of interest and of educational 
value to the layman. There were some charming specimens 
of decorated pottery and stoneware by Miss Mowbray, and a 
small but representative showing of each member. The club 
has proved its patriotism by adopting a war orphan and by 
the purchase of a block of war stamps. This is a suggestion 
for keramic clubs. Each one should have a war orphan to its 
credit, and the tax on its members is slight.

During March Minneapolis was fortunate to have the ex- 
hibition of two of our best artists, Winslow Homer and Singer 
Sargent. The work of both of these men is so strong in draw- 
ing and vibrant with color that they act as a Spring tonic on 
the blood. Homer's work has that singing quality which comes 
from the clarity of technique and pure color. Sargent, while 
best known as a portrait painter, is happily represented in these 
bits of landscape, which are rendered in his characteristic direct- 
ness and force. The exhibit was one of the most important 
shown at the Institute during the art calendar year.
