Sargent as n Portrait Painter.

Mr.. Sargent's great success as q paintol
of portraits is no doubt due to the fact
that, in addition to technical equipment
of the highest order. he possesses intuitive
perceptions which enable him to grasp his
sitters' mental phases. His cultivated eye
quickly determines the pose which natural
ly and easily harmonizes the physical side
with the mental, and his artistic feeling
dictates unerringly by what attributes of
costume and surroundings the pioturs
formed in his minds eye may be best pre-
sented on canvas. He rarely neglects TO
compose his picture that is, not only TO
determine the lines of the figure. but also
to fill the canvas and balance it. How
much this part of the art counts for in
portrait painting every intelligent painter
knows, but how many fail to appreciate IT,
how many nre satisfied with haphazaed
arrangement, that suffices to bring tho
figure within the frame and leaves balance
and symmetry to take care of themselves,
may be seen in the numerous portraits in
the current exhibitions, both at homo ald
abroad, in which good intention and sea-
Gus study are shorn Of their force by care
less mposition.-William A. Coffin In
