"a model can only go so far in her
work, anyway. An artist does not
paint lay figure merely, he has got
to put in all the rest--the feeling, the
emotion shown by the character N.
the picture"
An interesting contrast to Mr..
Hutt's method of merging a number
of girls in one is the recent feat of
Mr.. Stanlaws in converting one girl
into half dozen in the same picture.
The ubiquitous girl is Anna Nilsson,
who represents six different charac-
ters in big canvas that has just
been completed to hang in a theaterI
in New York city.
A good many art lovers will rec
ognize in Anna Nilsson the "Stamie"
exhibited in the Academy of the same.
city, while still others can point to-
the same radiatingly fair creature in
the work of Carroll Beckwith-who
introduced this popular model to the
studios-F. S. Church, Charles Dana
Gibson Harrison Fisher, Edmund
Frederick, Stuart Travis, and host
of others.
Anna Nilsson is often pronounced
the most popular model in New York,
and is probably the only one who has
INDUCED a within for not posing 20
any artist whose work she does not
like.
Another model who is celebrated
on two continents is Malvina V. Long
fellow, who was sent for not long
ago at a price few models dream Of
obtaining to pose in London. During
her absence she has been awarded a
prize of 10000 francs, which was Of
fered by the Paris Matin to the most
beautiful girl on earth" The judges
in this contest decided that Miss
Longfellow, of midnight eyes and
hair, came nearer the standard of
ideal beauty than any other contest
ant
Although artists have always ex-
pressed a prediction for golden
haired beauties, there seems, at pres.
ent, a tendency in the studios toward
painting models whose tresses are
the reverse of fair. The favorite and
most recent model of Charles Dana
Gibson is Lucy Cotton, a tall, viii.
lowy girl with great soft, brown eyes
and shadOwy hair, while the warm
laughing brown eyes and ripping
masses of .glinting chestnut hair that
belong to Ray Gilmore are familiar
to all who know the pictures of How,
ard Chandler Christie.
Still another of New Yorks favor.
lite artists models whose hair and
eyes are of midnight hue is Alice
Joyce, whose face has glowed on
many a magazine cover of late.
That Harrison Fisher leans toward
dark-eyed type of model is shown
by his selection of Lucy Cotton tc
illustrate his forthcoming book, "The
American Girl" He pronounces her
to realize the true type of American
| girlhOod. Then, too the model whom
Mr.. Fisher reserves for his own pic
lures, Miss Katherine Clements, does
not belong to the blonde class OF
beauty, Why she should be a favor
lite is easily told in Mr.. Fishers OWL
words:
ut makes a lot of difference to ar
artist whether a model takes an inter
est in her pose or not. One cam
paint with the same enthusiasm wher
the model shows no interest in MOI
sympathy with her part, Now, Miss
Clements is an ideal model. She has
posed for me since she was little
more than child. She knows the
game through and through; knows
how to pose takes an interest in the
work; puts feeling into the pose
| That kind of model helps an artist tc
realize his ideal on the canvas.
OF the purest blonde type is Miss
Brita Dybergh, who represents A. B
Wen2ell's idea of a good model-onC
who has familarized herself with the
character for which she is sitting and
throws herself into it's expression
with feeling.
"A model" said Mr.. Wenzen, in
discussing the qualities that entlle
some to greater popularity than 9th
ers, "can be Of tremendous assist
lance to an artist or Just the othe,
