There are dozen paintings which would

her skirt filling the small room in the gal

One of the pleasantest portraits in the
new salon is that painted by Gandara.
1t hangs IN the dimly lit room in which the
"Last SUPPER" by Dagnau Bouveret, is to
be seen. 1t is a conventional but very
delicate portrait of a young girl in white
satin, but for once the satin is subordi-
mated to the fresh and sparkling head of
the girl herself. The modern garments
are calculated TO overbalance any but the
strongest personality.

Rosicrucians. They were not only paint
ers, but held that music was a large part
of art. that music held color. At mid
night they addressed the spirits that de-
scend over the all-genial artists with weird
music. In order to show their religious
sincerity, they ordered mass on their
opening day-Notre Dame was the chosen
church, and the music from the evening
meal in "Parsifal' rolled in rich solemnity
from the great organ. When the last note
had melted away, they drew the roses
from their buttonholes (they had assumed
on vanishing day., placed them on the
hits of small daggers and made with
them the sign of the cross, to the gaping
astonishment of the bewildered workmen
and small shopkeepers, who had come as
usual to attend early mass. The result
was that the picture-dealers, Durand-
Ruel, in spite of an exorbitant price of
admission, received IL 900 visitors on the
opening day alone. The greatest of the
magicians did the honors. He was called
Sar Peladan. He wore costume of black
satin; around his pale head fell shower
of coal-black hair, which with his flowing
black beard made figure memorable and
fantastic enough TO create much diversion
among the less awestruck of the crowd.
Under all this absurdity there was and
remained an influence for good. This
cult, with mysticism as the hidden god
dess, was the first rebellion against the
reaIists. Romance and idealism were the

The Old Salon and the New
american Art Students Who Have Distinguished Themselves
Abroad-John Sargents Portrait

PARIS, June 17.-There has already
been much disquietude expressed by
French papers over the progress made by
foreign artists. The exhibitions of this
year certainly emphasize the impression.
The American school abroad distinguishes
itself by more than one remarkable can
vas. In the Champ de Mars-that is to
say good deal-in the Champs Elysees it
would mean much less-there is dreary
excellence that hovers over the Old Salon,
a contentment with existing conditions
that threatens the future of French art
almost as much as the ultra modernity of
the Champ de Mars.
Three years ago the Rosicrncians were
almost too modern for the new salon.
Now it is not at all astonishing to en-
counter them in the old. Three years is a
lifetime for a nineteenth century fad.
Paris accepts every new departure with re-
spect. The Rosicrucians attracted much
young talent by their mysticism and, to be
frank, their remarkable capacity for adver-
tising their own methods and aims. They
called themselves magicians and esthetes.
They did not have a catalogue but called
it "Geste esthetique," and they took for
their motto mon nobis Domino. sed
nominis tut glorie soil. Amen" They
were not only mystics, but they
considered themselves medieval Cath
olics, took the Gothic rose as
their symbol and called themselves
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-05

banners they had dared to lift, and it was
a deed OF admirable courage in this age of
negation, of scorn for sentiment, of wor-
ship of the absolute and the real. They
held that the Fra Angelica angels had ac-
compIished more good than all the ami
hilating researches of Renan. II in their
pictures they allowed their imaginations
to run riot, especially in the questions of
mournful and mysterious symbolical
figures, rising out of mists of paint with
faces in which startling eyes shone from
ho!lows under pale hair, and no other
features were distinguishable = all this
tendency to exaggeration has become the
hobby-horse of few, and except as an in
fiuence the Rosicrucian fever is thing of
the past.
This is only one instance of the many in
which the most artistic nation of the
world runs afield; her painters run now
in so many directions that the pIodding
and sober Scot, the hard-working Flemish
and Dutch painter, the keen and eager
American are driving them from their
own ground.
at the head of the Anelo-American
school is Mr.. John Sargent, who shows
but one portrait, that of Mr.. Graham
Robertson. His loose and flowing brush
makes of the pale and delicate head
of the young English painter an
admirable example OF his power to
model solid head almost without

crouching on bed, by Sergeant Kendall,
which also recalls the Luxemb ourg in that
remarkable unfinished work of Manet's
called Olympia
Humphrey Jonnston's portrait OF his
mother is very successful and original
piece of work. The gently severe figure
on the green sofa against the simple brown
background, with the faded gray of the
skin of hands and face-how charmingly
conceived and rendered.
Miss Cecilia Beaux exhibits for the first
time in France. There is hardly anoth er
American woman who could paint as
strong portrait as that of DR.. Grier /;
the pose is simple and effective, and the
difference between the textures of the cos
tune and the absolute difference in the
texture of the skin drawn over the fore
head, the looser flesh under the cheek
bones and the smooth surface of the
hands are very well observed.
Mr.. Boldini is astonishing, as usual.
His portrait of the "Princesse P" is a
woman in gray brocaded satin, sharply
outlined against a darker background.
His crisp, black notes, the hair, the shad.
ows, the edge of the profile, artificial as
they may be, add the interest that is COM
pleted by his remarkable way of posing
the model.
