HARTINGTON — Taking note of the desire of many Hartington residents to view Edgar Ewing’s paintings, the Tuesday club and the Home Study club have decided to sponsor an exhibition of some of the works done by the winner of the Ryerson scholarship at the Hartington K. C. Hall on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
On these two days all who wish may see the available paintings done by the Hartington youth, whose proficiency in art work won him the chance to study abroad for the next two years.
Mr. Ewing, who is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Ewing, will leave Hartington Sept. 12 for Chicago where he will spend a week before going to New York City in time to sail on the steamer Deushland on Sept. 26.
His first European stop will be Cherbourg, France, and from there he will continue in the southern provinces of France and thence to Belgium and points in Holland.
The art centers of Germany will next claim his attention and then he will travel to Italy and from there to Tunis, South Africa.
After going from there to Algiers he will finish the last leg of the journey by stopping in Spain.
During his entire trip, Ewing will travel leisurely and do paintings at various points on his journey. The exact amount of time he will spend abroad is indefinite, but Edgar hopes to remain in Europe for approximately two years.
The entire expenses of the trip will be paid from the $2,500 scholarship he won from the Chicago Art Institute as the outstanding senior in the school.
