A Group of Paintings by Fran
cesco Guard.

About month ago touching upon
the centenary Of the eighteenth century
Venetian master, francesca Guardi, We
reproduced some of the most represent
ative of his paintings, including the
Carnival at the Ridotto.' This sub
iect and some eight or ten others may
be seen in an exhibition dedicated TO
his glittering talent at the Gimpel d
Wildenstein Gallery. He is shown in
more than one mood. The masquerade
picture is there TO illustrate his close
feeling for the social movement of his
time. his dizziness i'm the painting Of the
figure and, as it happens. his instinct
for sobriety Of tone. Guard, as we
knew how 10 hold himself in check; if
he could be sparkling and gay he could
also be suavely charming. There is
evidence of this in the two large deco

of them are beautiful and valuable

scteristic expressions. The examples
of early Chinese painting make an eX-
traordinary array. Traversing them
we have recalled the late Ernest
Fenollosas "Epochs Of Chinese and
japanese Art" recently reviewed in
this place. We noted then his insist
once upon the emotional content of
Chinese art as distinguished from its
technique his constant return to the
feeling and thought playing through
works which Western criticism has too
often chosen to regard as purely and
merely decorative. The Bahr collec-
ton is full of testimonies TO the force
of Fenollosa's argument.
They illustrate his convictiOn-sup-
ported by the sayings of one of China's
greatest old masters-that landscape In
art. for example. is at its highest point
of significance when il embOdies hui
man ideas. Thus the wonderful
twisted trees. mighty mountain pines
and cedars really exhibit the
deep Zen thinker in their great knots
and scaly limbs that have wrestled
with storm and fogs and earthquakes
An almost identical process through
which a mans life struggles with enc
mics. misfortune and pain have
stamped themselves into the wrinkles
and strong muscular planes Of his me
old face" Nature on this hypothesis,
as Fenollosa has made so inspiritingiy
clear becomes vast picturesque

acter." II is with a strange subtlety
that this element of character lays
hold upon the observer. Take as an in
stance the curious BLACK and White
Landscape" CNo. I'D. which comes
down TO us with extraordinary fresh
ness from a period some six or seven
hundred years old. There is little in Il
that is obviously human, boatman I'm
tho foreground and the merest dot OF
a fpure in the little building that lies
in the middle distance. Yet from these
min points directing us 10 mans rela-
,ion TO the universe there would seem
to fow some mysterious impulse which,
working through the artists magma
ton. gives poignant vitality to the
whole scene. II was. indeed. life and
not art for arts sake that stirred the
soul of the early Chinese painter.
You feel this at every stage of his
prodigious range, whether he is paint
ing a portrait Of a nobleman or that
Of a peasant, whether he is studying
children at their play, unspeakable
dragons riding the storm in apocalyptic
clouds. a sage OF unfathomable wisdom
or casual birds and beasts. Let the
student hold fast 10 this simple touch
stone and he will be surprised at the
nuickness with which he may develop
sympathy for artistic motives and
methods far enough removed from his
familiar experience. There is, TO be
sure, great deal of esoteric nonsense
