The Tie of Language.
ON the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal
The emigration to Brazil shows not
only the economic growth OF that repub-
lie, but the peculiar strength OF the tie OF
language.
Brazil was a Portuguese colony. Bra
zirs population is now about five times
that Of the mother country.
Get of $4,000 immigrants who arrived
in Brazil during 1911, 46.754. or nearly
one third, came from Portugal.
One can carry the observation farther.
The Spanish language is SO closely allied
to the Portuguese that many words are
identical, and the native Of one country
can learn the speech OF the other in a
few weeks.
OF the Brazilian immigrants. 1900
came from Spain. Another 22.S21 came
from Italy, and Italians can learn Span
ish or Portuguese much more easily than
one bred in a northern tongue can do.
1t is much Like our own experience in
the days before the disastrous revolutions
of 1S4S started the great German emigra-
ton, and before the systematic bidding
for emigrants had begun. In those days
the great majority Of our new citizens
came from the British Islands.

be found sketch books by some Of the
same artists who are represented in
the collection now on view at the Ma
tional Museum, by which it will be seen
that innumerable pains were taken to
gain efficiency and to acquire absolute
knowledge. 1t was this which enabled
these artists to eliminate details from
their works with such discrimination,
to employ lines with such exactness
and to secure on the instant. as it were,
single forceful impression. These,
together with charm of color, are the
characteristics which have gone far to
give the Japanese prints of the past
century value and interest in the eyes
of artists and art collectors.
The paintings in the kuwabara col
lection are all mounted as kakemOnos,
and in some instances the mountings of
silk are interesting as the pictures.
from these mountingS in the combination
and harmony of colors which should not
be overlooked. A majority of the paint
ings are of japanese women, single fig
ures or disposed in groups. There are,
however, two very delicately rendered and
charming landscapes by Hiroshige, a
sketch OF two hares by koryusai, and
drawings-one of a fish and the other OF
two lobsters-by Hokusai. Some Of the
paintings in this collection are very old,
dating back to the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries. For example, there is
one of group of young girls looking In
a mirror. which is by Moronobu. who
lived between 1888 and TIA, and there
are even earlier specimens.

Is not difficult in most instances to dis
cover at a glance the authorship of the
paintings. Being stronger and bolder
than the prints, these paintings lack the
softness and delicacy which the former
possess. but they naturally atone for this
through their greater virility and sponta-
neity. All are not, of course, equally
good. but the average is high.

4 NEWS AND NOTES OF ART AND ARTISTS

rN a room on the first floor of the
new building occupied by the Ma
tional Museum is being exhibited
~ collection of Japanese paint
ings. one hundred in number, by
artists of the Ukiyo-ye School. This
collection is owned by Yojiro Kuwa-
bara, by whose grandfather the great
er part Of il was assembled. 1t was
shown at Shepherds Bush, near Lon
don, in the Japan-British exhibition in
1910, under the auspices OF the ia
panese government, and again at the
Royal Academy at Stockholm in 1911.
The painters represented are those
from whose drawings and designs the
now famous prints were made. and the
paintings stand in the same relation to
the prints as original drawings by our
contemporary illustrators would stand
in comparison to their reproductions.
The artists of the Ukiyo-ye, or popular
school of painting. were not great men,
as were some of their predecessors; they
were illustrators, and their object was
to appeal to and crafty public taste;
they produced not for the few. but for
the masses; their paintings were not
hung in temples and palaces. but in
the homes OF the humble. But they
were real artists, nevertheless and they
have influenced strongly the art of our
time. The eastern people have never
hedged their art in as those of the
west have done; they have never made a
distinc ton between the fine and applied
arts: To them every form of artistic
expression has been art. Furthermore
they have always regarded art as a
language, and they have employed it as
a medium for the transmission of ideas
Pictures painted by Chinese and Jap
anese artists almost invariably tell a
story, and yet to this motive the art
of the production is never sacrificed or
made subServient.
The way the thing was done was al
ways regarded as of utmost Importance,
and not only hours but years of study
were given to the mastery of drawing

their way into the winter exhibitions.

THE Corcoran Gallery of Art has is
sued this week the final prospectus
for its fourth exhibition Of contemporary
American oil paintings to be held from
December II to January 26. The pri-
vate view and reception will be held
on Monday evening, December 16. Five
thousand dollars, donated by Mr..
William A. Clark, will be given in prizes,
together with four medals presented by
the Corcoran Gallery. The jury of Sc
lection and award will consist Of Carl
Melchers. chairman: Ben Foster, w. Ell
mer Schofield, Frank w. Benson and
Richard N. Brooke. Those desiring to
submit works to the jury must send in
entry blanks by November ii and ex-
hibits should be delivered not later than
November q. In New York, Philadel-
phia and Boston collections will be made
some days earlier.
MISS BERTHA E. PERRIE has re-
AvA opened her studio in the Art
League building, on 18th street, and re-
sumed her classes. During the summer
Miss Perrie has worked much in oils and
she has brought back with her some ex-
tremely charming sketches made in New
and at East Gloucester. There
is something very individual in Miss Per-
rie's work, something profoundly serious.
yet very appealing. Her colors are not
brilliant or high keyed. her subjects are
not always exceptionally picturesque. but
they are true and they have real beauty
their pleasure and interest are not ex-
hausted on the moment Of first acquaint-
ance. Among the pictures which Miss
Perrie has brought back with her are
some Of boats which after all have per-
ennial charm, and others of stretches
of open country, but not few are OF by
paths and -out-of-the-way places such as

for the deaf and dumb? Doubtless be-
cause no one ever thinks OF the deaf ana
the speechless. 1t comes easier to do
things for the blind. Everybody helps a
blind man. because generally he is help

man can see where he Is going. no one

though the sun pours In and the rain
pelts down. Once the deaf ana dumb
were generally melancholy men. A phi
losopher, with his pencil. asked a deaf and
dumb man why he was grave ana kept
apart from others. while the blind are al.
ways cheerful and smiling. The deaf man
wrote his answer: Because, when you
speak to the blind man you make him
forget his infirmity. and when you speak
to us you remind US Of It" But these
deaf and dumb men under the Park Bank
are not morose. nor do they look In the
least unhappy. Science has supplied them
with a good means Of communication
with one another, and they rejoice IN
their gestured conversation. But though
they are useful citizens. and possess this

latter have much to commend them, he.
however, very truly says that not a lew
have been collected and priced by west
ern laymen not so much on account or
their beauty as because of their rarity,
not as real works Of art but as mere
curiosities. This is indeed the spirit in
which not only eastern but some western
art has been treasured, and the fault lies
not in the thing itself. but in the fascina-
ton for names and the lack of sincerity
on the part Of the collectors. All Japa-
nese art is not beautiful, nor significant,
and it is only by seeing the best and
studying many examples that a standard
can be fixed and true judgment acquired.
The present exhibition. which will con-
tinue until November 1. is not vastly i'm
portant. but it is extremely interesting
and very worthy.
IN the Moore galleries on. 18th street
there is now on exhibition, among
other things, a very fine and impressive
painting Of the sea by William T. Rich
ards. whose painting In the Corcoran Gal
lery Of Art entitled ION the Coast Of
New jersey" is well known and justly
popular. The canvas now on exhibition
is of somewhat similar size and proper
tons; it shows only the sea. however, as
one would observe it standing on the
brink of the shore. A great breaker is
just topping over and another is curling
up behind 1t. The coloring Is that Of
early morning or late evening and of
shallow rather than great depths. 1t is
the sea in its mildest and most playful
mood, vast but winsome, alluringly beau
tiful and in no wise awesome.
In brief outline of the life and art Of
William T. Richards. written by Harri-
son Morris. which has just been published,

City or Cape May with folded arms,

trayal of a breaking wave that he never
achieved to his own satisfaction"
Richards was a realist. He attempted
not so much to interpret as to copy ma
ture. This was the aim of his cotempo-
raries. the point of view Of his time. He
was Industrious, he loved his art, and he
had sensitive, poetic temperament
While Of gentle mien and rather retir-
ing nature he gloried in the power of the
sea and built home for himself on the
rocks on Conanicut Island, opposite New
port. where the sound Of the waves was
ceaseless. One does not find In his works
the force and character that one finds
in Winslow Homer's epics of the sea, nor
can his works be compared in spontaneity
or strength with those of Waugh and
Dougherty and Woodbury., but the sea it
transcribed are very true as well as very
lovely. Richards was something more
than a gentle and accomplished painter,
he was an artist and his pictures have
qualities Of enduring merit. The picture
now on exhibition is an especially fine
example.
MIR BROOKE has brought back with
IVA him from Gloucester some fine pic
lures Of the sea, and the sea on the north
shore of Massachusetts, is as different
from the sea on the New Jersey coast
as Norway is unlike Holland. Instead
of rolling in with gentle ease. the break
ers of Cape Ann dash their heads against
the rock-bound coast with apparent fury,
throwing their spray high In air, and re-
turning but to gather fresh strength for
another assault. The color Of the sea Is
different moreover. green's giving way to
grays and deep ultramarine blues.
It is thus Mr.. Brooke has painted 1t,
with a strength. q Vgor and q fresh
ness which stir emotion. His coloring
is strong and fresh. his rock forms well
indicated yet simple, and with all his pic
lures are sunny and atmospheric. But he
has not only painted the sea. Quite a
number Of the pictures he has brought
back with him are Of the moors. with
their jutting rocks and their handsome
verdure. Still others are of the harbor
with its picturesque wharves and fishing
vessels. making fine color schemes and
interesting compositions. There is no
