ART NOTES

John Singer Sargent's portrait Of Pres
fdent Roosevelt which was painted in the
White House last month and has for the
past three weeks been privately exhibited
in the V. G. Fischer gallery, was hung this
week in the main vestibule of the Execu-
tive Mansion. and. as the official portrait.
has become public property.
When it was reported last fall that Mr..
Sargent was coming to the United States
to paint the Presidents portrait there were
to be heard on every side expressions of
qualification, and it is probable that the
completion of no other recent work of art
has been awaited with such Widespread in
terest.
In 1874 Mr.. Sargent entered the studio
of Carolus Duran as student. and five
years later he won an honorable mention
in the Paris Salon for a portrait of his
master Following this came a series of
successes, until in 1885 his painting of Mr..
Barnard's two little daughters, popularity
known as "Carnation Lily, Lily Rose" pro-
claimed his unique ability and gave him
rank with the foremost. Since then he has
painted the famous mural decoration fer
the Boston Public Library and portraits of
scores of celebrated persons, steadily in.
creasing, by the merit of his work, his rep
utation, until now artist and layman alike
accord him the first place in his profess
sion.
This last work-the Presidents portrait
is in many respects thoroughly character
iStic, and has been done with all the vigor,
simplicity and evident genius which COM
monty distinguish his productions. The

The Ingenious Wombat.
He took me to see the wombat, who lived
in a stone house, with stone floor. His
playground, too. was lined with stone, ex-
cept at one end, where he was allowed to
burrow on certain days. Around the space
wire netting had been sunk some five feet
deep to prevent him from burrowing out
into the great world. When we arrived the
wombat was engaged in a serious attempt
to tie piece of straw around his own muz-
ze.

hind feet" said the PSYCHOLOGIST, cor else
pretends to have difficulty in grabbing the
end of his tail, which he swings like PEN

extravagant expressions Of JOY kicking I'D

clods of dirt in all directions. Above Ill
however, he delights in cleaning and polish
ing his playthings. OF these he has dozens,
hidden N corner of his dark house-sticks
of wood which he has carefully polished
after stripping them of their bark; pieces
of broken pottery discovered in burrowing:
three or four large nails and other bits of
metal, which he keeps shining clean: and

John s. Sargent.

President Is seen sharply silhouetted
against sunny gray background, squarely
facing the observer, with one hand on his
hip and the other resting on the newell
post Of the oak stairs. He wears the con-
ventional Prince Albert coat and dark.
gray, striped trousers and the uncOnven-
tional low. turnover collar. There are both
force and dignity In the somewhat undig-
niffed pose. and intense personality in the
face and figure. Mr.. Sargent has por-
trayed more than the outer man. He has
epitOmized his sitters most striking char
acteristics and written them so plainly on
his canvas that all who run may read.
He has pictured with the Presidents fea-
lures his energy, his alertness, his agrees
sveness and his unyielding disposition, bu.
he has left out the kindness and geniality
which have won for Mr.. Roosevelt the re-
gard of his subordinateS and the affection
Of his friends 1t is the President the
chief executive, as not only Mr.. Sargen;
but half the world sees him who has been
painted and so vivid is the realism that
the observer cannot but be convinced Of
the Veracity of the transcription. from
the painters standpoint this has been ac-
complished by surprising skill and ability.
The manner of painting the head the fig
ure and the clothes is inspiration and
a delight. Mr.. Sargent handles his brush
as Robert Louis Stevenson did ais pen;
nothing is overtold or undersaid He has
arrived at the desired result-;he portrayal
of character-with the least possible effort
and has, once gaining this point, proceeded
no farther
But as painter proves himself capable
of the highest accomplishment he becomes
liable in relative proportion for reproach
for minor errors. What would be excusable
in an ordinary portrait painter would be
inexcusable in one possessing Mr.. Sargent's
knowledge and skill: and, therefore, one
turns with unusual wonder and regret from
the brilliantly executed portions of this por-
trait to the poorly drawn right arm and
hand and the unexplained, inartistic and
unreasonable newell post. The one Is as
unnecessary as the other, and neither
seems properly related to the unit of the
whole. The arm, while sharply fore-short-
ened. is equally distant at shoulder and
wrist, and the hand, which rests with un-
due weight upon the post, thrusts itself
clearly out of the canvas and into chief
prominence. These are errors merely Of
haste and oversight. and, weighed against
the merit of the whole sink into insignif-
canoe, but they are errors, and certainly
should not be allowed to remain In this
portrait, which, more than all Others is to
represent the great American painter for
all time In America and to the world.

Mr.. Saint Gaudens and Mr.. French were
in Washington this week reviewing, at the
request of the War Department committee,
the four statues of Mcclellan entered in the
last competition. These four models were
selected by the advisory committee, con-
sisting Of Saint Gaudens French, Burnham
and McKim, most meritorious, and each
sculptor was requested to make an enlarged
model for which he was to receive $1,000
compensation and from which the official
jury was to have made the final selection
and award. After weeks of elaboration,
however these gentlemen literally gave up
the task and invited the former advisory
committee to individually pass upon the
work at his convenience and send in writ
ten reports. This seems not only eminently
wise. but perfectly fair, and would lead to
the belief that the best man will win out
