in^nr THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 21 1923 Exhibit WoreigBSketches m WINNETKA and the North Shore should and justly does feel proud of its neighbor, Mrs. Anita Wrl- letts Burnham, who, with her little fam- ily of artists, lives in that lovely log cabin, at the west end of North avenue, just as you approach the Skokie. Mrs. Burnham's sketches, made during her year and one half in foreign fields, are .to be on exhibition in the Art GkUery at Carson} Pirie, Scott and Company, dur-, ing the current fortnight. Mrs. Burnham's collection ranks with the most interesting produced by any of the artists of the Chicago "colony" in many years. They are a very spontane- ous and colorful statement of the inter- esting places Mrs. Burnham and her family, visited. They have never been exhibited before and those artists who .._ have- jriewed ihem Jiiave been-extremely enthusiastic over her results. Many of the sketches were made* on the way f ronrfafts down through France - into many .of the quaint, old cities* - From -there they went on to the Seine and later were entertained for several months near the Mediterranean coast. The Balearic Islands, a spot not often fre- quented by artists, furnished her with a wealth of interesting and new material. A sojourn through Spain and then on to the Algiers, traveling here and there, sightseeing and painting, and the little party sailed for Italy, visited Rome and Naples, and then up through Italy to Venice. Considerable time was spent in Venice where Mrs. Burnham made some lovely impressions. Back through France they wandered finally landing in Paris and then the trip home; Mrs. Burnham's watercolors and sketches are not large. They were all done rapidly and very purely. Each picture is distinct and individual, and there. is no difficulty in placing the French, Italian and Spanish scenes cor- rectly. She seemed to catch the very spirit of the town and its people and expressed her thoughts most clearly. â€"â€"Wmnetkans have known Mrs. Burnham for her attractive andnovel_Christma& and Greeting'cards,, Dut many may not realize that she also is a highly accom- plished artist» and that Chicago and the World artists are looking to her for jgreat things.
