nothing if not source of stimulus. a
challenge to criticism, and one of the
things that il urgently invites us to do

IN the long run transmitting 10 the
pupil only certain uninspired adroit-
ness. There is no personality here.
Neither is there any style. The figure
lives and moves. no doubt, and yet as
a work of art the canvas seems empty.
That, we repeat, is what the Indepen-
dents have to fear. The artist cannot
live by manual dexterity alone. He must
think and feel, and, above all, he must
strongly individualize what he does.
Whether this memorable Salon is TO
prove really helpful and constructive
influence or is presently to be forgotten
as having provided no more than the
passing sensation of winter. depends
altogether upon the seriousness of tie
changes flowing from it. Are the In

Pursuing the search for this precious

this exhibition. one remembers GER

about them. the assertion OF individual

the cry for wider liberty. for more geG-
erous encouragement. Back of all this
one understood there struggled band

traditions and insisted upon speaking

how Weir, Hassam and others prohtcd

gone on in sedate mood toward their
broadened horizon, and unnumbered
American artists have in one way or
another followed their leadership. But
the Independents, the artists with
whom we have to-day TO deal. coming
later upon the scene, have sought an
even more advanced tradition. We
wonder if to them man like Weir

the field, that they have no alluring

practically innocent of the gift that IS
so precious in art the gift of invention.

danger to which many If not all or inc

the danger of scorning one formula,
only To become hdebound in the cult

vited especially by painter IKE MT
Robert Henri. In his revival OF TIE

into his work.
There is no link between our earlier
Impressonism and these recent out
groupings of rebellion. The latter nave
no place in any sequence of artistic
events. i'm any evolution of ideas.
They simply stand for sharp and, on
the whole sudden break with the eX-
listing order of things. SO to consider
them is in no wise to disparage them
swift. violent change is not IN ltseil
necessarily harmful. But neither IS
there anything talismanic about IT.
neither is il necessarily cause OF good
art. and in saying this we come pretty
close to the secret of our Independents,
and. by the same token. to an under
standing of what they fail 10 do. Con-
sideration of what they have failed TO
do has been rather forced upon us by
the general drift of all that agitation
which has been going forward for the
last few years. one assumes that a
say for itself, that the men behind it,,
being Enthusiastically in revolt against
constituted authority. have principles
of their own To put in the place Of
those which they regard as outworn.
Now. il is not clear that the hide
pcndents have any constructive cam
paign laid out or that they are doing
anything To impugn the validity Of
contrary. in going back into the studio
and practically abandoning the magic Of
sunlight they would seem TO have ret
regarded from the point at which mod
crn art was left by the French impress

riching the eamut of color they have

now seems old-fashioned? This would
seem not unlikely, for the newer school
is out of sympathy with his fastidious
taste. 1t cares nothing for beauty as
he understands it and nothing or
suavity of surface. 1t reverts TO I'M
