[edit]

Mr. Berlin is a young artist, who, born in New York, began to travel a few years ago to find the phases of nature which interested him most. Nova Scotia's rugged sea coasts, shipyards with men at work on the boats, the blue, blue sea piled to the blue, blue, sky, and flecked with dancing gold lights—he has many pictures like that.

Brittainy stopped his seeking next, and he has a large collection of street scenes there with the quaint Breton people, ripe with color, wandering peasant-fashion through them all. He has etchings of Florence, too. They are dim, and Italian, and yet vivid enough to make any traveller think-instantly of folk-songs and spaghetti, art galleries and lovely, dirty, brown babies.

Many of these pictures are to be shown next month at the Haas Art Gallery, Fifty-ninth street and Sixth avenue.

Mr. Berlin is going to do New York street scenes this year. He did for us the picture in Fulda's story. @Billinghurst: PseudoSkull (talk) 03:27, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Billinghurst: H. Berlin in "Impressions of Our Artists", January 1911. Probably originally drafted in December 1910. PseudoSkull (talk) 16:14, 12 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
That is going to be tricky and horribly time-consuming. You might find something in NYT archives via ProQuest collection access at https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/users/my_library/ . You might find mention of the art exhibition. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:16, 13 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
