He is fond Of autumnai tinted woods. vast

statuettes and medallions at the galleries
OF Fishe. Adler a Schwartz. 3lS Fifth ave-
nue.. between Thirty-frst and Thirty
second streets. which is to last until January
Is. The pictures. among them several por-
traits. are by Eugene Paul Ullman. the
brOnHes by Dr. r. TAFT Mckenzie. Mr..
Ullman studied under William r. Chase.
and to say that the Chase influence isper-
Ceptible in his work is but to pay him q
compliment. But he is also Ullman. Tho
portrait OF Mr.. Chase by Mr.. UllmAn. ac-
quired by the French Government some time
ago, is happy confluence of u sympathetic
interpreter and capital subject. We are
sorry that this virile presentment of a virile
artist is not in the present show. Femi-
nine portraits predominate. Ullman avoids
banal poses. Whether all his sitters would
sacrifice themselves as has Mrs Eugene
Paul UumAn is doubtful Little Of her
face is seen the scTcshoTtsnins is clsvsrIy
managed; the figure is sitting. She is clothed
in an old rose tinted gown. probably OF
tulle. A lower limb is crossed but does
not convey the sense OF form or resistance;
in a word the structural quality OF the pic
ture. excepting the head and hands. is
least TO be extolled. The artist 10 much
more successful with the Woman Before
Mirror'-for which effort Mr.. Ullman was
elected associate OF the SOciete National
Beaux Arts. Paris. l0O3-and -Au Buffet"
This is q woman seen through the glass
door OF a buffet. which she has opened.
1t is a technical problem despatched with
ease. Femme au Boa tells US OF a deli
cate discrimination in textures and tonali-
ties. The browns and grays are exceedingly
grateful to the eye. Note the lace with
old gold tones in the gown OF the woman
Before Mirror" A portrait Of Madame
Hanako. the Japanese actress. is in the
key Of old japan. IL is very decorative.
More conventional, though the performance
Of a viTtuOso in the rendering Of surfaces,
is the portrait Of Madame c." The still
life must have pleased the painters master.
Its color scheme is warmer than the gen.
erality Of the canvases Ullman evidently
prefers sombre tones.
A Woman Sewing" is a genre piece, in
which a " oman, en- negLigf, a lace petticoat,
sits facing the spectator. The scene is a
familiar one from Vermeer to Dewing.
Ullman treats the figure loosely and has
made an interesting picture Of a simple
attitude His handling of the crossed feet
seems clumsy, vet II is hfelike. The land
scapes France and Holland" are evil
dences of this painters versatility. Only
two or three are important" the Ooncar-
nesu views and the impressionistic Gran
vile view; but they are all brighter tinted
and are not -stuffy' as to atmosphere
Some Of his portraits suffer for want Of
more air.
The statuettes, bss reliefs. are the work
Of DR.. Mckenzie, who is, we are informed,
an instructor at the University Of Penn
sylvania. He models with plastic grace and
a rare knowledge of anatomy A friend Of
isms His modelling in The Sprinter. 4"
The College Athlete is articulate. vital,
| supple and also academic. and the pose
| is tense in The Sprinter." In The Jug
gler" Dr. Mckenzie set himself task but
! ne has overcome its difficulties with facile
! hand. The snar into which this man
| Juggling with balls has tied himself would
become. with a less erldte sculptor, a
monstrosity. But the pose, tortured as 1t
Ia, is accounted for nationally. The swift
ness and variety OF muscular movement
are capital. We admired the medallion
| heads Of the late DR.. William Henry Drum
mond, the poet Of the -Habitant"; Of Archi-
bald Lampman, the poet Of Forbes Rob
ertson and Gertrude Elliott in character,
| and OF Charles Brockden Brown-the latter
| a memorial tablet made for the Franklin
| Inn Club. Several low reliefs Of disc throw
ers are well realized. Altogether this double
exhibition at Fshel, Adler a Schwartz's
| should be visited.
