IdirTiNEW YORK—(United Press) — * , September Mora threw a “natural1' c I a few years ago and got away with g it as a work of art- aBut officials of the National Arts c club here today aren't so 3tire that c George W. Bellows will get away t with a semi-September Mora paint- v mg he submitted to the club's an- p nual exhibit—Bellows mrew a shawl ti around September’s shoulders. The ji painting, “Nude Girl With a Shawl,” J may be thrown out in the cold. Officially, right now, she is getting o cold shoulders—from critics and flt; from her shawl.Fate of the picture will not be known until the club art committee p acts on a resolution concerning it tomorrow- The beard of governors is reported to have framed the resolution. Heat of the controversy seems to radiate from the question “la nudity refined and if so, 'does1 refinement cease where clothes start?“Nude Gir! With a Shawl is a front view of a girl, nude from the waist up and her clothes start on the edges of her shoulders. Or “her shoulders start beneath the edges of the shawl commented an unfavorable critio today.To determine for themselves just where refinement in nudity ceases and where immorality starts, a score of women from the Pen and Brush club rushed over to the Arts club to view Bellows’ work- Many unkind comments are reported.“It’s a dare,” one member of the inspecting party said. “The artist submitted that picture to get notoriety.”“Art has nothing to do with morality, th.o morality has much to do . with the artist,” is Bellows’ defense of his picture.CfmciP1ainhiscYiPimtfcsabrbtreAJanTigr
