ZENITH CENTURY PAINTER WHO RANKS WITH THE OLD MASTERS

7%O speak disparagingly OF modern
Xxx art is the sign of the most superior
eJkSS intelligence; to sigh and shake the
head and murmur that the race of giants
is extinct is to bring proof positive that
Philisunism may not claim you for its
own. This point of view has distinct ad-
vantages. Ii permits OF no argument ard
limits the expectations. The unruly
genius may start in upon his career with
discreet dreams of painting as nearly like
or as much unlike Velasouez, or Monet
or Vandyke, or Titan, or Manet as pos
sible if only he impress into his work "the
modern spirit" Heaven knows what that
spirit may be, but the genius OF to-day
must not hope for popularity without it.
There are Dutch MASTER few centuries
behind u.s. who painted little light spark

in pale harmonies of color. Were they to

archaic drawing, connoisseurs would she'd

ernity" would figure IN every crilcism.
Mr. Watts is not modern. 1t takes
courage to confess it, and still more to add
that it is great relief that he is not. 1t
is rather vague statement to make, after
a confession of ignorance as to what is
meant by the term, but it is the one thing
TO be sure of, Watts is no more modern
than Homer.
To collect the works of ono artist is to
submit them to crucial test either his
pictures are lmmeasura bly, improved by
the contact with each other or they be-

Pass even into the correct and chill at

admirably com posed pictures are lifeess

blooded, magnifcently alive conceptions

1t is only after seeing these three great
rooms full of pictures; after seeing the
painters studio at Little Holland House,
full of sketches and studies for portraits,
that any correct idea of whaG this one
man has accomplished in one lifetime
may be arrived at.
1t becomes more and more evident that
the secret of his wonderful power lies in
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-07

Gradually we lose the first impression OF
monotony, the portraits have as much
similarity, one to the other, as living beings
nave, neither more nor less. They are not
all equally agree able in color, but they all

so on through a long list of famous

His sketch for portrait is drawn with
black and yellow ocher and dirty white

his dry color, so that it looks as though

winning it, he departed at once for Italy.
1t was but a step from Phidias to the
