"To Paint Ideas and Sensations-..Not Objects"

then advancing again to put the last nm
ishing touches as he observes some ofs-
crepancy, resembles too much a woman
matching a sample Of ribbon at the par
gain counter to measure up to my ideas
Of art
art means something more than HUI
man photography. Art Is to portray
the emotion ii not the object. The
farther we get from the Photographic
idea, the nearer we get to art In so far
as Rembrandt is photograph, 1t is not
art; in so far as 1t represents the tndi-
yidual mood of the artist, 1t Is.
1.-THE artist of the future will scorn to
paint things material Sensations and
emotions will be his theme, and though
1t will take long while before the lay
mind Is educated up to such a standard
as to appreciate the subtlety involved in
this form of art. the time will come when
1t will be appraised at its true value.
THE secessionist of to-day realizes
this and gives as much Of his time to 1t
as he can afford, but still he must live.
And so he divides his time between the
old type of work, which he does for
money. and the new style. which he does
for art.
ITO paint gown so that It Is indis-
tinguishable from the real fabric is very
clever, and few people possess the talent
TO do 1t, but 1t Is not art It is
simply imitation and copying. That
Is what our artists have been doing
nary artist hopes to attain fame bv
following in the footsteps of the old
masters. Because Rembrandt was The
son Of miller and did his work in his
narrow windows Of which only a thin

playing the violin, for there Is no violin
to be seen. but there Is a line that looks
like a violin bow. You cannot feel sure
that the women are women. They ap-
pear to be sitting on straw and living In
remarkable state Of primitive sim
plicity. Nevertheless. in spite Of all the
haziness Of this picture. the impression
you get from II is unquestionably MUSIC.
Some of the most peculiar works Of
the leading New York secessionists are
reproduced on this page
The first impression that a Philistine
gets on looking at a secessionist picture
Is that the artist does not know how to
paint--that he is in the mental state Of
a child who draws with chalk on the
WALL This Is a mistake. for many of the
artists have previously shown an ability
to paint quite we'll in the old-fashioned
way.
Fl. Phelan Glib. a clever English artist
who lives In Paris and has been holding
an exhibition in New York knows Ma
tisse. and admires him profoundly. Mr..
Glib has furnished an interesting ex-
PLANTATION of the new artistic movement
for this newspaper.
Secession is art" said Mr. GLIB de-
ciueuiy, ana what mas hitherto been re-
garded as art Is nothing but mimicry.
The paintings of Da Vinci. Rembrandt,
VelasqueZ. Raphael and the rest of them
are simply a higher form Of the mimicry
OF the anthropoid ape.
Art, In my way of thinking, Is the
expression through any suitable medium,
not of what the whole world sees, hears,
tastes or smells, but of the sensations de-
rived from what the individual sees,
hears, tastes or smells.
The idea that the mission Of art IS
to hold the mirror up to nature is re-
pulsive to the secessionist. The spectacle
Of Sir John Milllis stepping back from
his canvas, with head inclined to one
side to ascertain whether or not he has
made a perfect copy Of his model, who
stands few feet from the easel, and

vas, but with the features he embodied
q soul.
To say that he painted only what he
saw may be true, but 1t is also true that
he saw more poetry In a cabbage than
the average eye sees in a rose. Familiar
things appear to great artists IN poeti-
cal and beautiful form which they are
able TO express on canvas or in marble
1t Is this which gives their work its
value.
The painting of the secessionst may
correctly interpret the sensations which
he himself experiences. but what Is It's
value IL his picture is uninteliigible to
others? That may be art for the ar
lists sake" but 1t is selfish concep-
ton which confines the mission of art
within such narrow bounds
There Is poetry in line, poetry in color
and poetry in expression, but. more i'm
portant than all. there is poetry in con-
ception. 1t is this poetry of conception
which distinguishes the master, and but
for this the copy would be as valuable as
the original
For this reason. too. the true arts.
