Wainwright Parish is not the name of
some Louisiana township, although it
might seem SO TO one familiar with
George. G. Cables delicate little creole
romances. The young gentleman who is
fortunate enough to own so dramatic an
identity was at the knutsford yesterday,
but is now on the way to japan where
he expects to gather notes for an
Oriental study of grotesque Nippon art
to be utilized in aesthetic wall decoration.
II will be a fad by this time next year
for the multi-wealthy to surprise the
artistic eye by Sprinkling upon its disc
from every obscure corner of chaStely
executed chamber, some oddly shaped
panel giving a vivid impression of Japan
ese landscape gardens. a bit of water or
some quaint woodland without a sug-
geStion of life. A panel diSfigured by man
or Howl would utterly spoil the antique
conceit which Wainwright Parish intends
to make fashionable. Mr. Parish is an
artist whose sketches of still life have
been admired several seasons back by
visitors to the American Academy of
Fine Arts. His style rather suggested to
Aubrey Beardsley the demoniac antagon-
ism of color affected by the London poster
man. but Mr.. Parish never got near the
circulating dilemmas of color into which
Mr.. Beardsleys gibbering ina gination led
him. The American artists work was
spective and tinting-specially a tint in
stead of color The art of tinting then
rather than coloring was what has dis
tinguished Mr.. Parish's work
He has conceived the idea of wall
decoration with sudden surprises of panel
ing in the midst or deep maroons. velvet
like browns and oDaleScent blues A
dead wall executed in an unvarying ebony
with frai gold lattice working is one of
the daring decorations proposed, but more
startling than all would be panel in an
upper corner below the gilt cornice, the
panel n hypothenuse in form containing a
Japanese garden with turreted pagoda in
rustic brown and the landscape a vivid
blending of green and pink. Again in
diagonal direction in a lower corner just
above an ebony wainScoating a sheet of
water with a Skiff floating idly by the
barge piled sumptuously with a Japanese
poppy of blood red and some stringed
instrument. unite amid the fragrance the
general tone being a marine purple the
foliage of faint green and the barge
ivory white with its scarlet freightaee
This was one idea given by Mr. Parish
and series to imDart somewhat of a
glimpse of his proposed fad. He will
spend almost eight months in the islands
and then return by way of London. Mr.
Parish will inaugurate his reform in New
York. the wearied spot of all new
''isms.'
