Matters Of Art

the author has in his preface some re-
marks that provide us with a clew. He
says:
The individuality of France Is very an
Gent. IL has been continually. and some
times Violently; modified hut has very
rarely shown signs OF exhaustion Art is
distributed throughout It's history. and has
always been well adapted to its vicissi-
tudes. il has not, as in other countries,
expanded with that momentary exuberance
which manifests the fun vitality of the
human mind and exhausts IT, Ii reveals
rather the changing forms OF society than
fixed clinical type. II there has not al
words. a great family of artists and sort
of material kinship founded upon commu-
nifty or method. there has always been a
French style, that is to saw a moral re-
semblance between works Inspired by the
same collected taste.
The matter could not be more deftly
put. There has always been a French
Style" which is to say that there has
always been n French way of looking at
things That is the way Of people pre-
destined to take art effectively. The
1 Frenchman has an instructive respect
for solid facts. 1t is his habit to weigh
and to measure. He is at home with
the concrete. Hence the essential unity
of the multitude of works traversed by
NJ. Hourticq. That ancient French in
dividuality of which he speaks stead
tasty governs the most diverse mani
festations Of the creative instinct. And
this individuality is synonymous with an
extraordinary sense Of form The French
architect, whether he be the monkish
builder Of the Middle Ages or the court
~ professional man Of later date, Is
at bottom in perfect harmony of spirit
with the Roman masters to whom the
oldest monuments in the country are
due. Flinging their roads across Gaul
with a certain grand generosity, build
ing their bridges. theatres and arches
on such a scale that to this day num-
Der Of them survive. the Romans en-
forced a lesson which was nevertheless
not one of mass and weight alone. They
sowed in soil almost miraculously re-
ceptive and fruitful ideas OF balance and
proportion. These ideas have ruled ever
since.
They carried much of classical order
and restraint on into the buildings of
the Romanesque period, and, what Is
even more significant, they made their
influence felt in the masterpieces Of
Gothic art. NJ. Hourticq has a further
epithet to apply to that art. He calls
it Communal" and rightly lays stress
upon the motive thus implied. He is
one Of those writer. who believe in hu-
manizing a subject and he is at pains to
give the reader a vivid sense Of the

when, with reference to the Gothic
church, he says the genesis of this
new architecture is marked by con-
structive invention" and. going on to de-
fine the clements of thrust and counter
II ust in Gothic building, puts his finger
once more upon the soul of French art.
Again in Gothic, as in Roman and Ro-
manesque architecture, we recognize the
gift for measure, a gift now taking on
even more of a mathematical character
and revealing the still living French
trait of exacttude, Of proportion. The
decorative envelope clothing Gothic in
spiration and above all, the aerial feel
ing embodied i'm the cathedrals, naturally
communicate to us, in the first place, an
emotion warm, colorful and profoundly
romantic. But reflection on the ideal of
construction for which these buildings
stand must inevitably correct this i'm
preston and fasten attention upon the
cool. rat.onalZing principle followed by
practically every French artist. He has
followed it in architecture, in sculpture
and in painting Always obedient 10
the pressure OF social needs. and, in
deed, often sensitive to mere fashion,
he has been true to that ancient in
dviduality of his. with its imposition
of an unchanging law. French art has
never been, like Italian ar, the product
Of ecstacy; there has rarely. if ever, been
anything metaphysical about il. When,
in painting, it has achieved great force
Of expression, il has risen to this through
human experience and sympathy rather
than through mystical ardors
The argument is abundanrlv conf.

Mr.. Furst's book Is that in which he
traverses the points of contact between
Chardin and the Little Old Masters OF
the Low Countries. After their fashion
he painted quiet. domestic subjects, In

Cbardin is a painter's painter II ever
there was one. And he had In perfec-
ton that power OF vision Of which we
have spoken above. "Chardins brain
was in his eyes" says Mr.. Furst. In a
neat phrase. He painted with light as
well MS with color. But, like Yer Nicer,
this man Of the seeing eye attained to
beauty all his own. No sentiment Is 100
strong TO divert him from the business
In hand. which Is to reproduce so much
concrete stuff, to give. with character
istic French conscientiousness, every
chance to the fact as fact. Where
he gets his particular triumph Is just IN
the management Of his technique, just IN
the saturation Of the grain OF his work
in his personality. There Is no better
testimony TO the continuity OF tradition
in French painting than We have In the
fawlessly balanced craftsmanship OF
Chardin.

(Suger). 1t was like a crusade in which
all took part, either with their purses or
their arms; the faithful pressed in from
the surrounding country. dragging carts
loaded with stones and beams, they en-

dral that was to be; the work was inter

1t is a fact constantly to be kept in
mind in the study of French art, this
alliance between aesthetic impulse and
the daily needs of a people. At the same
time, If we dwell too long upon 1t we
risk a tinge of sentimentalism in our
analysis and it is well to turn back from
this phase of the subject to that sense
of form already mentioned, born in the
race and tremendously fostered by the
earlier domination Of the Latin genius.

by tho testimony Of those feudal mas
tiers who start the history of French
painting with portraits and religious
pieces notable for their realistic quail
tiles They could use. on occasion,
fairly thrilling pathOs. There Is
"Pieta" in the Louvre, painted by some
unknown OF the group identified with
Avignon. which ranks among the noblest
interpretations of its theme. The late
John La Fargo used to tell a story or
going through the Louvre with his physi-
clan, who from time to time felt MS
pulse. The latter leaped when he stood
before this "Pieta." and afterward the
doctor told him that ii had given him
something like a shock. The spectator
might lack La Farge's exquisite sensi-
bility and still 1t would be impossible for
him to look unmoved at this picture. In
emotional depth it registers. to he
sure the high-water mari of the French
Primitives and occupies place apart.
There are other touching souvenirs OF
the period but there are none possess
sion. Moreover, even in this eXtraordi-
nary example Of sacred art, the germ OF
it's distinguished style is To be found IN
realistic point Of view. That, as can
not be too often stated, has been the
French point of view in all ages, and
more broadly characteristic than the
"Pieta" to which we have just referred
are the simple portraits by Jean Fouquet
and his colleagues in the formation o. a
school of painting. Not Italian fervors
bat Nctherlandish craftsmanship gave
those pioneers their point of departure.
If they painted thoughts borrowed FROM
tie Church oven more thew painted the
truth that they could see and touch
an handle.
Apropos of the Northern ingredients
introduced into French painting, II is
pleasant to note that W. Hourticq does
not address himself to those contro-
versial tangles which have Of late en-
gagged the pens of so many writer's
Wisely, he confines himself to n general
view of the type OF picture and portrait
put forth by the Primitives and leaves
matters of attribution and the like TO
b pursued by the student who cares for
exhaustive Investigations. In conse-
auence this narrative suffers no irrele-
want dislocation, but flows rapidly on,
making the transition from Gothic
architecture to the revival of classical
ideas and so leading TO the eflorescence
