Five new museums have opend during the last year the Worcester. Toledo. Springfield and Kansas Museums, and the Avery Memorial at Hartford, which opened last Tuesday.

Each museum has celebrated its opening with special loan exhibitions and attendant festivities, that have Drought out-of- League of Composers To Give Novelties The League of Composers will give the second of Its weekly concerts next Sunday at the French Institute. 22 B. 60th St. New works by American and foreign composers will be performed by Jacques Gordon, Lee Pattlson, Virgil Thompson.

At the Grant Studio The Grant Studios are showing a suiall group of portraits in the main gallery and a collection of prints in the new downstairs print room. Robert viand, who seems to figure conspicuously in current Brooklyn exhibitions, shows a charming portrait of a woman in a flowered dress; Agnes Richmond shows one of her sincere and able portraits of a woman posed against an outdoor background; Samuel Rolhbart exhorts a portrait entitled "The Artist's Wife." and Ezra Bowen a striking portrait or a striking young woman in which he registers his full appreciation of his model's town are lovers to participate in the inaugural celebrations. Each of these event-? and I speak mote especiallv of the New England museums, since 1 did not attend the Toledo and Kansas openings has impressed, the vis- i lior with the growth ano scope of cultural interests in this country and lso with the fact that the cultural map of the U. S. A.

no longer may be charted as having two or three art centers which feed outlying province, but thai each former province is quite as much in the movement, quite as aware ot tienas ano revaiua- tions as have been such art centers New York and Chicago. All chi? is very largely due to the fact that the new museums discussion or Plcassos I Place In the development of Amen- have been fortuna in achieving! ican ait or proffer anv revaluation for their new directors young men 0 nis contribution as the result of who are not only, well trained in seeing him in the environment of the technique of museum direction a New England museum.

The golden mean, however, lies between the two points of view. Much of the modernity of museum technique characteristic of the management of the new museums is also attributable to the fact that the new directors are less encumbered with the dead weight of tradition because in moving into new buildings it is possible to shed so much of the past that was hampering to new growth.

The Avery Memorial, which receiver its name from the Samuel P. Avery bequest which made possible the erecting of the new museum, is probably the most modern solution ald lhe Atonghi An Gallery Buffalo. I shall not ue this occasion w. moi eweewvr iui vcy in ins nw-wui plishmenus than did the one in Paris, because the examples have been chosen with more care and because rhere are not so many of them. Admirers of lhe versatile I Spaniard are therefore advised by all means lo make a visit to Hartford.

As an introduction to the Picasso show a very choice group of 19t centurv French paintings has been assembled and is shown in the adjoining gallery. Another feature of I the opening is an architectural ex- hioition arranged by Henry Russel Hitchcock In which he traces the development of museum architecture from the first inception of the idea through some of Its most, ef-; fecrive stages. Mr. Hitchcock' exhibition is. as aiwavs.

full of information and the deductions the reason for growth of museum architecture: "The museum as an architectural monument is a product of the age of Romanticism. The type was a creation of the period between 1750 and 1850. In the 19lh century the new museums and libraries were given the prominent place and the monumental treatment hitherto re- served for churches and palaces in European ciues. Art museums grew of museum architecture and i.ti,:. rangement that has been achieved so far in this country.

Herbert Tschudy gives fresh evidence of his ability to ban-die pure wash and to make it serve whatever purpose the subject demands without getting out of hand and existing for itself as an exercise in pure virtuosity. Judging from the fluency with which Mr. Tschudy manipulates the medium, I imagine, however, that it would be an easy matter lo become a virtuoso. Fortunately his deep sincerity and a belief that the artist's mission is to interpret nature prevent any such catastrophe. The present collection comprises, for the most part, raier colors painted In New Mexico and California and the Grand Canyon.

Again the atmospheric effects of sun and clouds on mesas, desert and mountain are MS. Tschudy's favorite motives. The combination is inexhaustible and provides him with themes which, however alike they may be fundamentally, are never the same and never monotonous. As a proof of his versatility Mr. Tschudy also exhibit a portrait of a Western stage driver, a swift but surely painted characterization and pastel of night scene on Brook lyn Heights in wmcn me variety of colored lights and their reflections are used so as to make an almost abstract pattern of color and lig'ht against the dark ground of the night sky.

Paintings and Guaches by Annul. a German artist recently arrived in this country and a grandnlece of the celebrated German artist, Adolph Menzel, are now on view at the Marie Sterner Galleries. Since the average American's knowledge of contemporary srman art is almost entirely confined to those examples chosen to represent Germany in the Carnegie Internationals and in the German exhibition Shown at the Modern Museum, both of which vehicles tend to duplicate each other, they have, therefore, had very little knowledge of the variety of personalities which. In reality, composed contemporary German art. Annot's work has never been- shown In Hhis country before in spite of the fact that she is one of the best known painters in Berlin and one of the two women members of the Berliner Secession.

Although she studied in Paris under LHote, her quality is essentially Teutonic, her portraits, for example, there is a suggestion of tlhe powerful realism that tends to overstatement, so characteristic of the modern German school, but which, in her case, is tcuntenbalanced by a strong decorative quality and distinguished color sense. Many of the subjects of the portraits shown are German women well known in professional and artistic circles. Annol claims that tlhe modern German woman is characterized by a new vitality and joy in responsibility which quality she cenveys In her portraits, despite the fact that they represent widely dis similar type. They have, as she describes it. an Ethos which is pe culiar to them." Aflnot.

therefore, as the use of the word "Ethos" sug gests, introduces the metaphysical touch to her work which again is so essentially! Teutonic quality. Paint ing is never merely painting to the German. It is Invariably an ex pression of a philosophy, a WeltAti- shauung. And this despite Annot's very evident expert enjoyment in painting for paintings sake. Margaret Fitishugh Browne, noted American portrait pa iter, has just returned from Detroit where she completed a.

portrait of Henry Ford whtch is to be permanently installed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston. Mr. Ford gave Miss Browne six sittings and showed interest in her work, although he has frequently been quoted as saying Chat art seemed like nothing to him. A museum official, who Is well acquainted with Mr. Ford, saw the canvas yesterday where it is now hanging in the Grand Central Art Galleries.

The'Averv Me- morial is a branch museum of the Wadswortn Atheneum which continues to nou.se some of the and is the first aud original' art museum in Hartfoia. Mr. Hitchcock closes his introduction with the following thoughts which relate his exhibition to the idea incorporated in the Avery Memorial. "In general the later 18th century museums aimed at providing real works of art with imitated traditional settings. This arthaeologicai treatment nas indeed lasled down to our own days.

The early 20th century substituted characterless settings in which the objects were isolated as in a laboratory. Modern architecture aims again to create, as did the early museums, backgrounds of intrinsic distinction harmonious with the objects exhibiied and vet wholly in the style of our own day. The galleries of the new Avery Memorial of the Wadsworth Atheneum provide, with eli the functional complexity of the later museums, interior architecture worthy of comparison with the finest of a century ago. 1. 41 KITZ is expected that about 500 artists will be represented in the show, and i that there will be over 1.200 individual pieces included in the exhibition.

Bntohi vn Kxh ihili The Brooklyn Painters' and Sculptors' current exhibition at the Artist!" Gallerv in the Towers Hotel uses an unusual idea for the basis of selection. The picture? shewn are decorative compositions executed in not more than three colors. MEIA.HIOK the new museum gives evidence of his assimilation and adaptation of some of the solutions of museum arrangement which his trip discovered. Although needless to say, every museum has its own special problem to solve and cannot take over The solutions which other mu-leums have made of their problems. In the case of the Avery Memo- rlaf the effort has been directed in arriving at an arrangement in which the collections are the museum's raison d'etre, and not the museum building itself.

Lighting, space, backgrounds, are the elements with which he has achieved Ms distinguished result. In following the functionalists idea, Mr. Austin has not, however, evolved a too starkly functionalistic machine. Portunateiv. he possesses a lively imagination, fine taste and sense of I showmanship which makes the result exciting despite its strict observance of functional principles.

For examole. the main courtyard severely plain, the architectural interest is achieved by cantilevered high-walled balconies of white cement which act as corridors tor exhibits and receive their light from lhe skylighted glass ceiling. The effect of starknese is relieved by placing a lovely baroque fountain group. "Venus Attended by Nymph and Satyr." in the center of the courtyard and by painting the wall of the court pale blue. To be coldly critical the piopor-tlons of the balconies leave something to be desired and the material might have been more elegant and still remained Junctional, but these defects are unimportant beside the fact that Mr.

Austin has preferred to center His attention on works of art rather than on lavish i architectural accessories. This contrasting of the volup- t.uous 8nd elaborate style of the Italian and Central European I Baroque with the stark simplicity of functionalism might be said to be the left motif of lhe museum's arrangement and extends even to I the collections. For example, the Averv Memorial is perhaps unique among American museums in having an unusually fine collection of baroque paintings. They have been hung in a gallery whose walls re covered with grey white bro- caded damask. The result is as ef- 1 fee five a.s a background as It is imagination stirring in Its suggestion of palaces in Venice.

Vienna or Munich. In contrast is the loan collection of Picasso's shown against white walls and making use of some of the latest devices in screens and nartitions which can be' turned about on shining chromium plate a ses. Pir.asno at Full l.euxth i i The Picasso exhibition is me tour de force of tiie opening events. For the first time in this countrv it has been made possible to the development of the inventor of Cubism from his Impression)- tic period to bis latest Sur Realist phase. The last complete story was told in Paris two years ago at the Georges Petit Gallery, which same exhibition was l8ter shown in Zurich.

But no American museum 1 or dealer has had the opportunity of assembling a group which could be satd to be in any way represen- tative until Mr. Austin achieved the one now on view at the Avery I Memorial. There are about 77 oaintings and a large collection of drawings, guaches and water colors. Manv of the pictures come from the collection of Mousier Paul Rosenberg of Paris, but it is sur- prising to discover how many of ihe celebrated examples of the dif- Orent periods are owned in this fountiy.

Mr. Scheidaker shows a group of his still-life compositions in water color, in which a color scheme, al- I most monochromatic in tone, has I not interfered with Ills ebilily to suggest suotie gradations of tone or lessoned the fluency and vigor of his style. Mr. William Mathews uses oil for his medium and has evolved charming arrangements, among which a Mower still life done in green and white is perhaps the most successful, and Robert M.

Members represented with Drawings rnat call or special mention are Harold Lund. Will Quinlan and W. E. Spader. Nicalos Macsoud is holding a uue-inan show in the adjoining gal-j lerv which represents him as an I artist with considerably mor di- versified point of view Ihan many or his admirers might have sup-' posed.

That is. judging from the exhibitions which have heretofore represented him. In other words. Mr. Macsoud is no longer concentrating on his well-known Oriental 'themes.

Instead Arabs flying from sand storms and Moslems at prayer or studies of light aud shadow on the deser t. Mr. Macsoud is painting subject derived from moie recent and immediate experience. He is doing a series of Brooklyn subiect views of roof tops in Wimer and also exhibits a series of marines which are records of a trip to Bermuda. Brooklyn roof tops are not as bar-ren a theme as might be expected in contrast to the romance of the desert.

Mr. Macsoud finds that red brick houses veiled with snow offer i an opportunity for using his favorire pale rose tones and the concentration on the exact rendering of the geometries of city streets aud roof lops in perspective gives his work a new precision that was sometimes absent in the more emo tional and picturesque rendering of his Oriental Bermuda marines are notable for a new rich- ness and depth of color.
