Pittsburgh

The 22nd Annual International Exhibition of paintings at Carnegie Institute honored: first, Arthur B. Davies, of New York; second, Eugene Speicher, of New York; third, Pierre Bonnard, of Paris. All three are distinct modernists.

Mr. Davies won the gold medal and $1,500 for his painting After Thoughts of Earth. During recent years he has won the affection of collectors and acquired an assured position.

Pittsburgh has hitherto been criticized for its ultra-conservative awards. The jury, bold enough to defy Pittsburgh prejudice, consisted of: Augustus John, London; George Desvallieres, Paris; Jonas Lie and Horatio Walker, New York.
