Word was received here that Myron Barlow, well known Detroit artist who for many years has lived at Etaples, France, has been honored with the Legion of Honor Award by the French Government.
Mr. Barlow studied in France under Gerome and other masters at the Beaux Arts. In 1907 he was elected a member of the Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts. His pictures won gold medals at the World’s Fair in St. Louis in 1904 and at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. The Detroit Institute of Arts owns several of his pictures, and he is also represented in the Pennsylvania Academy and other art galleries both in American and France.
Four of Mr. Barlow’s murals adorn the tower of Temple Beth El here.
Accustomed to make almost annual visits to Detroit, Mr. Barlow was compelled by the World War to make a stay of more than four years here, for Etaples became an armed camp. On several occasions his studio, a mile out of town, narrowly missed destruction by German bombs.
