a dainty deviltry, an insoucisnce, a

of the famous actress thrown on the
paper.
REMARKABLE PORTRAITS
Miss Heynemann's portraits are mo
less remarkable. In the sketch of an
elderly woman with folded arms, a
dark background brings out the model
ing and fine coloring of the strong old
head wildly. In the delicate shadows
of neck and throat, producing the hol-
lows of age, is seen the touch of an
artist who has the largeness of. vision
to paint the spirit which animates
them. A corner Of Sargent's London
studio; splendidly handled, is attracting
much comment.
Arthur Putnam has half dozen wild
animals in bronze. His wounded puma
is the animal itself, sick unto death.
The squirrel, small and nearly perfect,
is a joy: his salon work. two pumas
rubbing against each other, is full of
the mighty majesty of the forest. But
his drawing Of the human figure in all
postures-muscled, thewed, twisted. dis
torted, finely erect, are distinct won
der.
Since Michael Angelo said Sargent,
mo man has done such work. Anat
it should be produced in the nineteenth
century is incredible" There is no pos
sible doubt that San Francisco harbors
one of the great sculptors of the age
in Putnam.
Del Niue has two delightful land
scapes-Thurston lake and Mount Tam
alpais-from Mill Valley. These are full
of the promise which all this artists
work shows. Indescribably tender in
coloring, they picture mountain, lake
and field with beautiful and enchant-
ing realism. The canyons and hollows
are rich in mountain beauty A broad
and impressive stiffness marks these
| landscapes-the stiffness of nature in a
/ quiet mood.
Emil Carlson has several still life
/ canvases. They are unusually fine, as
was TO be expected, since Garrison has

! At the fall exhibition of this group of
artists a number of marine works of
Carlsen's may be shown. They will

/ Bruce Porter has two or three paint

drawings The oils, which are mainly
sketches or work in an unfinished state,

workmanship. Porter does little work

I SHOWS SINGLE WORK
Harking back to sculpture. an ex-
quisite piece of work is the contribution
of THE Piping Boy" lad splendidly
modelled with fairylike reed, which
he has at his lips, while two small bun
MES sit meditatively by. The freedom
| of the limbs of the slender lad is
/ classic, as is their length and the
superb grace of line shown in the mod
cling. 1t is reminiscent of the Renais-
sance work in it's lightness, its ele-
gance, its slenderness and grace. The
Piping Boy" is the work of an English
woman, Mellicent Stone, and, 1 believe,
is the only work she has ever at

of beauty, seen once not forgotten.

of the most unique and notable ever
