do not think that because an old can
vas has become so mellowed with age as
to be almost indistingushable. 1t Is per-
MISSILE for some modern retoucher to
freshen II up to give the trees a little
touch of Spring, as 1t were. 1t is better
that the master should die natural
death than be given a new lease of life
under such circumstances.
1t Is undoubtedly true that there Is
nothing magic about the early periods
OF classic art and that there is no rea-
SON why the artist OF the present day
should not produce works OF equal
value. but there Is this much to say in
favor OF the old masters: they have
stood the test Of time; succeeding gen.
erations have all attested their lncom-
parable merit; 1t has not been neces-
sary to be educated up to them. We
cannot say this of the new school OF
ar,--secession.

HERE Is a new revolt against con-
ventonalty in art.
1t is in Germany. It Is in
Paris. It is in New York. 1t is every
where.
II is called secession" in Germany. 1t
follows the leadership of an amazing
artist named Matisse In Paris. 1t has
hundreds of followers in New York.
The most auda cious of the secession
lists have just held an exhibition at the
Photo Secession Gallery of Alfred Stieglitz
on Fifth avenue, New York. The move
ment is also reflected in a mitch feebler
form In the much larger exhibition OF
the Independents in New York
The leading New Cork secessionists
are Max Weber, AlfredS Steichen, Alfred
Maurer, Lawrence Fetl6Es, Arthur Dove,
John Marin, Brinley, f3tles and Hartley.
