landscapes by Corot one a small early
canvas, the other uncommonly large and
of later date. The former is a gem and
the latter a masterpiece. In the former is
all the poetry Of Corot's nature. the light
ness of touch the love of gentle color; in
the latter his knowledge of form and MS
ability to conceive great. one might al
most say, a monumental composition. The
large canvas was painted, 1t is said, Tor
Daubigny. the theme having been orig
inally sketched on the wall Of his room
when he was lying i'll and Corot visited
him. And with these, moreover. are to be
seen two mastery portraits by Sir Joshua
Reynolds. charming picture of q mother
and children by Richard Harlow and a
marvellous portrait CT an elderly woman
by Hogarth. A portrait by Moro, which
not long ago was shown i'm these CALLER

John G. Johnson Of Philadelphia 10 his

7 Asst winter collection of modern Ger
l. man art was displayed in the Metro

quently in other cities. with the OBJECT OIL
acquainting the American public with the
works Of contemporary German artists.
Now it is proposed TO exhibit In Munlch
and Berlin a collection of works or Amer
lean painters, with similar object In view.
Hugo Reisinger. who was chlehy 1hstru-
mental in bringing the German paintings
to America. is undertaking to send the
American works to Germany, In poth IN
stances assuming the cost
Mr.. ReisinEn r says: In behalf OF the
Roval Academy of Berlin and the Royal
Art Society Of Munich, 1 am sending in
yitations TO a number of American ar
s-l-
ing the months of March and April, 1910.
The object of this exhibition. the organi-
cation of which has been confided to me,
is mainly to make known in Germany
the work of contemporary American ar
fists. With the exception of the achieve
ments Of few good men living in Paris
and London 1 venture to say that CO.
temporary American art is hardly known
in Germany, and l believe fer the mere
reason that opportunities for exhibiting
it have been hitherto lacking. My official
friends abroad and l believe that the
time has come when American art should
attain due recognition abroad, and for
this reason these two unique galleries
have been placed at our disposal / am
not only making my appeal to the va
rious artists personally, but also the
leading collectors Of American art. and
l confidently believe that the undertake
ing will receive unanimous support
This is indeed an interesting and lauda-
BILE undertaking and one which should
certainly succeed. In all probability
collection of American paintings will like
wise be shown in London and Paris next
spring, the Society of Art Collectors hav
ing arranged to assemble one hundred
pictures for this purpose and having al
ready secured Guild Hall.

A SUPERB "Old Crome' has been
loaned the Corcoran Gallery by a
private collector and placed on exhibition
therein this week. 1: is a landscape, SIM
pie in composition, yet OF great beauty
and charm. 1t is merely picture Of roll
ing hills seen from a height beneath a
broau expanse Of open sky. yet so mas
teriy is its transcription that it fairly
thrills the observers as onIy a great work
of art can. The luminosity of the sky,
the suggestion of spaciousness, the lay Of
the land and the relation of the several
planes give occasion for comment, but the
picture as whole is greater than any
one or even the sum of its virtues-it is
what one so seldom comes across-a COM
pletely successful achievement. John
Crome, the painter, lived between the
years 1863 and 1921, and was the founder
Of what is known in England as the
Norwich School, of landscape painting
Doubtless he was influenced by Hobbema
and the Dutch masters, but he had indie
pendent convictions and a clear vision.
HIS manner was not always as suave as
1t appears In the picture now on exhibit
ton in the Corcoran Gallery. but he was
few of his contemporaries, an outdoor
feeling in his pictures 1t is interesting
to observe that this English painter OF a
century ago and Charles Fl. Davis, who is
living and painting in this country TO-DAY;
for his picture SUMNER in the National
Gallery, selected almost Identical themes
for transcription, the one placing most
stress upon quality of tone, the other upon
Spontaneity OF effect.
TN the V G. Fischer gallery there are
l at present some paintings of particular
interest and note. A landscape by Rich
and Wilson, who preceded Crome about
fifty years and was closer allied to the
old masters than the modern painters.
