WILLIAM MORRIS HUNT.
MISS tNOWLToN's MONOGRAPH ON THE
AMERICAN PAINTER.

ART LIFE OF WILLIAM MORRIS HUNT. by
Helen NJ. Knowlton With Illustrations iTGm ON
His Works. octave, PIP. xiii. 2l9. Boston, LIN
tlc Brown & Co.
4 place has been waiting for this book OF MISS
Knowlton's on the late William Morris Hunt.
He belonged to a generation that Is past; to one
moreover. whose artistic exploits have been sub
jccted in the last fifteen or twenty years TO de-
structive criticism; but just as George Innes
and Homer Martin rose head and shoulders
above the Hudson River" school so Hunt pro-
duced work far in advance Of his time. Infiu-
enced by Couture-in whose atelier he studied;
by Millet-whose art he appreciated at the time
when it was most neglected-he remained a
man Of original genius. and there is nothing IN
American art Of which we may be prouder than
Of his work.
He had a noble simplicity There are pictures
Of his in which not an inch is without it's beauty.
The New Marguerite" for example profile
portrait, nearly at full length, Of a graceful
model in the costume Of the sixties, is broadly
painted work but the textures are handled with
a subtlety that makes them fascinating every
where. He had large free manner, which
spoke of truly elevated ideals and Of abundant
mower When he went from Germany to Paris
and visited Couture that artist bluntly said to
him. Young man. you don't know how to draw
He learned, and became a superb draughtsman
with the brush, so that in pictures like The
Bather" he was able to treat the nude more
boldly and eloquenty than many man who Is
to-day rich in the training Of the very newest
schools Hunt had color. he had superb mod
cling. he had noble composition, and he had
IDEAS but most Of all he had style. 1t is delight
full to see how his paintings, some of them
seeming a little old-fashoned from the costumes
represented wear like old masters their vitality
and charm appealing to US with abundant fresh
ness and force.
His easel pictures preserve his fame but only
the deplorabe destruction of his decorations for
the Capitol at Albany has caused his powers as
a mural painter to be forgotten among all save
special students. For the production Of big dec
orations he had grandeur Of conception, ade-
quate dignity and exactly the right style. 1t is
profoundly regrettable that he lived a little too
early to share in the movement which has
brought about the establishment Of 50 many Of
our public buildings. He would have been in the
van for with greater opportunity he would have
risen. in all probability, TO even greater heights

Mr. McLennan divides his collection Of short
