WOMEN ARTISTS

EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS

The work of famous women painters was exhibited recently in New York City in an unusual display ranging from Rosa Bonheur to Kaethe Kollwitz, a German artist who was persecuted b3 r the Nazis and whose whereabouts are not now known. Angelica Kauflman, English artist of Swiss descent, was represented by "Two Nymphs." Mary Cassett, American artist, was represented by "Mother and Child." - | In the same week another New York gallery housed a modest exhibition of egg tempera paintings and drawings by Hedda Sterne, a refugee artist from Rumania. The showing included both portraits and imaginative subjects done with varying accents on reality and fantasy. And in Chicago, in the Middle West, Mrs. Maude Phelps Hutchins, sculptor and painter, exhibited some of her drawings—a collection of hands, feet, and heads. Wife of Robert Maynard Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago, she works daily in the garage loft which is her studio. One of her drawings—"Fragments of a Philosopher"—shows the head, folded hands, and wrist watch of her i well-known husband, who often serves las a model for her while reading in the evenings. Mrs. Hutchins has had more than a score of one-woman shows. She has three daughters. In her spare time she fishes, gardens, and acts as hostess to celebrities passing through Chicago.
