finement and polish, and it is beautifully lhai-

it breaks with convention. The American sitter

Mr. Sterners drawings sharply expose that tal-

Another exhibition which we must make
belated comment is that of drawings and photo
graphs of paintings by Henri Matisse, recently
held at the Photo Secession gallery The re-
sounding vogue of this ultra modern French
type is difficult to account for on the hypoth-
esis that any of talent who elects to take
his little turn at causing the bourgeois to sit up
is necessarily person of consequence. In Paris

The current exhibition at the Cottier Gallery
is composed Of q dozen pictures chiefly of the
BarbiZon school. 1t contains several beautiful
COrots, one of them, the blond, unhackneyed
Village Street Scene painting of impressive
sincerity and positively bewtchng charm.
Daubigl:y is also fecitously represented, there
is a capital Van Marc1e in unfamiliar vein, and
among these things of an earlier generation
there is a landscape by a living painter, Jose
Weiss, which falls surprisingly into harmony
with its surroundings. 1t is a choice little col
lection, which Will well repay visit.
Mr. Herman A. Webster, who has a collection

studies of his in old Paris could not have existed

existed before them But Mr. Webster is too
genuine artist for his etchings to have that
deafness which belongs to merely initiative

1t is pity that the exhibition of Mr.. Sterner's
drawings at the knoedler Gallery which was
closed on Friday, could not have been extended
Tor it embodied some valuable lessons AS has
been noted before in this place, he has been
occupied for some years in revvng a kind of
portraiture comparatively little known in Amer
lea. This is the kind of portraiture that was
cultivated with unique success by the French
craftsmen of the eighteenth century. They
Showed that head drawn in red chalk or with
the crayon could be made as mastery thin.,
and as beautiful, the most imposing stata
portrait in oils. They showed this, in the first
place, by dint of drawing with equal strength
and delicacy, but they were won't also to DO
their work with certain courtly grace, to make
1t very light and charming, and, above all, 70
envelop it in the glamour of style. Mr.. Steiner,
we gather, has sat at their feet but it is further
TO be remarked that he has drawn his American
portraits without fostng upon them the senti-
nent or mannerisms Of bygone school. His
