Bourgeoisu iU ý inlu VV URVU. In exhibit ing Mr. Zoir's work, the club is showang a fearless attitude, disregarding adverse criticism made by -artists and, critics: whose vision is slightly hamùpered by their own fine but couservatave excellence. One canniot-help being struck bythe tre- mendous strength and beauty, the- dash and' depth seen in Mr. Zoir's pietérs. EViery worlc as'an experi- ence te the art, lover and, patron, for bere is such vitalty of line, as is seldom encountered.* Wbat Mr. Zoir seems te, have> dune is te record if e -and wbether it la the fast moving, rh.ythiic swellof the waves beneath aveering boat, or the repioseful beud of head of a seated girl, one is con- scious of emotional, pull. and, surge of auner force--and the artist's own inspiration. Every Ue is strong. and sure, and oue feels that wbile Mr. Zoir's brusb or pen sweep across bis paper with swift power, hie stili bas his.ma nterials and hie iibject under tborougb control. The water colors are fluid and vi- brant wlth pools cf dark reds and blues. Boat and barber sketches ahi bave this brilliance of interpretation typical of Mr. Zoir. His cbarcoal sketches cf nudes, wbich are designs for a mural painting, "The Last Judg- ment," are singularly powerful lu rhythm, arresting becausé of the genius in the arrangement anid exe- cutien cf human foeuis in design. Tbe etchings are vastly interesting, for Mr. Zoir has instilled armth itot them,. in dynaxuic repose or static- motion. The entire exhibition will be in the -club rooms duriug the boIidays, oet fering stimulation in wvorics which are uindouhtedly the product of geulus. HOME FROM ýSCHOOL Miss Ella Jatte Holden of Kenil- wortb and Miss Marion Flentye of. Wilmette arrived borne today f rom, Nashville. where tbey' are attending "Tally Ho" and l'The Sieigb" were sung with good contirol cf toue and. breath, and a fiue qualit.y. Befere the opening of the nicet- ing, the philantbropy department.col- lected canned goods, food aud. mon- ey -for charity. 1Dr. Palmer..felt that white ail cf us cannot be artists cf the brush or peu, we can be artists- lu living. "ýL ife itself is a výrehicle," bie said,' "and you can b .e au artist by puttiug into your life beauty."e 1eý felt the basic foundation for an artistic* life. was the acceptauce c 'f raw materials one bas. Artists,. he poiuted out, have te use materials whicbt are semetimes not. attractive tbemfselves, but yet artists cau create a work cf geuius with it, make some- tbhiug beautiful out cf it. Se, lu liv- ing, we must accept ourselves first, our bodies and our miuds. and use them as best we.can. Then we must, accept other matetials about us- our relatives, ôiur commiflty and country. Que sbould net accept them with complaceucy,. but shouhd rather see tbe vision bebind the raw uma- teniaIs, see what beautiful thing can be made eut cf them. Everythiug depends ou one's vision., said Dr. Palmer. Que eften gets, in- spiration from nne's cempanion, freut the theater, the cburcb, a book, from small incidents in life, and this in- spiration enables ene to see througb the raw materials into tbe beautiful thing they can become. Great art is akin te great labor, and in making a great art of iving eue must bave a capacit-y for bard werk, for heroic endurance and suf- ferng. "Art is uot just prettiuess, superficiaIity, but willingness te ha- ber, te sacrifice te make the dreani corne true," said Dr. Panier. The club, is exbibiinig dirawings in charcoal, water colons, and ýetchings by the Swedisb artist, Emile Zoir, during tbe holid.ays and tbe exhibi- tien is reviewed iu another part of this isue.
