EXHIBITIONS FOR JANUARY

The New Hope Group made up of R. Sloan Bredin, Morgan Colt, Daniel Garber, W. L. Lathrop, Charles Rosen and Robert Spencer will show a collection of about thirty of their paintings. All of the men with the exception of Mr. Colt have already been seen in Museum exhibitions in single examples of their work. "On the Canal , New Hope" has recently been acquired for the Museum's permanent collection through the gift of Miss Julia E. Peck. It is not difficult to draw the inference from these detached examples, that this exhibition will be one of more interest and virility than is usual in a group show. They are all men of strong personality, thoroughly grounded in their art and all of them have been highly honored in the National exhibitions of recent years. The common tie which binds them is the locality in which they have finally settled to work out their problems. While their landscape motives are found in the same community, there is no similarity in their work save the note of sincerity which is characteristic of them all.
