Salon of ''HumOrist
Draughtsmen.

The third annual salon of the society
of "Humorist- Draughtsmen." OF which
Charles Leandre is president and of
which j. Cheret. Foran. Hermann
Paul. Jean Weber and Willette arc hon
orary presidents, contains Ga water
color drawings. sketches, pastels, oil
paintings and works of sculpture III
plaster. wood or cardboard. Every I'M
aginable Partisan subject is dealt with,
from President Poincare To the latest
manifestations of "Cubists" and "Or-
phistes." one finds strange note OF
melancholy i'm this salon of comedy.
Willette paints young girl IN the uni
form of a Communard federalist soldier
of 1871. lying dead with two bullet
holes through her head. This is one Of
the earliest pictures painted by the
Montmartre satirst and humorisI.
Forain exhibits a couple Of Daumier-
like paintings of the Hobbies AT Yer
sailes during the Presidential election

traits of Pope Plus VII and Cardinal
Caprara, the famous actress Mile. Rau-
court as Iphegenie, David's wife,
daughters and sons. Nine. Recamier,
Nine. Danton. Marquise d'Orvillier'
Marat. Junot, Marquise de Pastoret and
MARQUIS de Thellusson. There are also
two admirable portraits of the artist
himself. Prominent among the pct
ures is the well known one belonging
TO the Brussels Museum, the death OF
Marat in his bath.
David's most famous pupil, Jean Au-
guste Dominique Ingres, who became
the foremost painter of his period, is
well represented. This masters por-
trait of the artist Granet is considered
perhaps the strongest work In the
show. David once said of Granet; He
puts the plough before the oxen; he
gives greater value to color than TO
drawing" There are excellent selec-
tions of the paintings and drawings OF

Isabey. Baron Gros, Drolling. Claude
Dubufe, Ducts. Fragonard fills and
Drouais fills. There are busts by David
dangers, who was a pupil but not
relative Of Louis David, and among
these is an excellent portrait in bronze
Of David.
This exhibition. which will remain
open until the middle Of June was or
ganized and has been arranged to the
best advantage by NJ. Henry Lapauze,
Curator Of the Museum of the Petit
Palais and author of the defnitive
biography OF Ingres as well as Of other
important books. 1t is in every way
greatly to his credit, and besides its
intrinsic interest il has a certain very
special significance. The exhibition is
really sort Of apotheosis of Louis
/ David, friend of Robespierre and Paris
Deputy to the Convention in which ca
pacity, it may be added. he voted for
the artistic festivals Of the Revolution.
His zeal as Republican very nearly
betrayed him. With the fall of Robes
pierre he came within an ace Of being
guillotined. Afterward, for a time,
fortune seemed willing to smile upon
him. The friend Of Bonaparte and OF
Talma, he became the court painter Of
the empire. But at the Restoration the
Bourbons would not consent to pardon
the "regicide" and he went into exile
at Brussels, where he died i'm 1929.
The reigning house would not even al
low his body to be brought back to
France Now time is working out its
revenges. The Inauguration to-day by
President Poincare has given rise to a
movement for transferring the remains
Of David from Brussels to Paris, TO be
placed in the Pantheon.

contrasts. Cubists and futurists, char-
acterized by common hatred OF
nature. have now reached such phase
of incoherency that they are no longer
capa BILE of understanding one another.
Nature has been reduced to the medium
of wooden paving blocks and the hu-
man form is interpreted by elements OF
geometry. But the death throes oil
Spanish cubism and of Italian futur-
ism. apparent in the Independent salon
of 1913, has given birth to new mys-
tic art madness called "Orphisme.
Orphisme seeks to ripen the back num-
hers of cubism and futurism by the APP
plication Of the mystic theories of alb
solutely pure color tones alleged 10

But these colors are not pure as II
taken directly from the palette. Their

thusiastic Orphist artist with long yell
low hair, attired in grass-green
fustian velvet. 1t may be remembered
that the cubists usually painted their
blocks i'm sombre or neutral tones Inc
Orphsts. on the contrary, flood their
canvases with coors so brilliant and
blazing that at times one has to gaze
through smoked glasses TO appreciate
them.
1t is curious to note that the Titanic

pendant Salon. one of these. emitted

SCENTS a vast expanse of the Atlantic by

beside that of her husband. The sec

a visit. for besides inaugurating the
new school of "Orphisme." which may

tains upward of hundred paintings OF
genuine artistic value.

MISCELLANY
Pictures by Carroll Beckwith,
H. R. Butler and Others.

Mr.. Crown.nshield's delightful and
profitable experience touched upon IN
these columns fortnight ago. has
been repeated by Mr.. Carroll Beckwith.
That artist. too, has made. after many
years. long European sojourn, AMI
has brought back souvenirs thereof in
which we may observe familiar tai
ent exercised to new advantage under
a recent and peculiarly sympathetic
stimulus. Mr.. Beckwith went abroad
TO live for a couple Of years in Rome,
and on his way home he paused for
while i'm France. His Italian and
French impressions. now shown at The
Powell Gallery. amply demonstrate thc
wisdom Of his wa behring's.
They ar, charmingly displayed, me
little pictures being hung In groups OF
five or six on panels covered with some
old rose stuff. providing just the right
warm backgr und. This scheme also
enables Mr.. Bcckwith To bring u
gethcr his notes Of various places with
rest attention is perhaps the best. the
one devoted 10 Versailles and filled with
sketches Of the basins and avenues
there. painted with special reference To
this or that bit of old decorative sculpt-
IRE. The word sketches" is not, per
haps, strictly accurate. II points faifly
enough TO the swift. casual nature or
the artists records. but what imprcsses
MS even more is the thoroughgoing'
painterlke way in which he has
studied his ancient marbles, bringing
out the subtleties of form In them that
ordinarily one would look for only in
paintings from the living model He
gets. with all the needed constituencies,
those special qualities of tone and
texture which belong TO "A statue. but
he is at pains really TO draw and model
his beautiful subjects. and in conse-
quencc gives them a dignity and an
interest not always secured by the
painters who stray for material through
the great gardens of the past. As
rule. the monuments there are painted
as incidents. Mr. Beckwith has paint
ed them for their own sake and In the
process has done some Of the best work
of his career, the best both technically
and in personal pictorial quality. He
has done admirably also I'm his numer-

Mr.. Buffers Paintings Of Cali
fornia.

II is a long time since we have seen
together as large number OF paint
ings by Mr.. Howard Russell Butler as
he has placed on exhibition at the FOL
som Gallery. In fact, memory OF Ills
work is confined to an occasional ma
rine hung at the Academy or eise-
where The present collection makes
ne wonder why he has not sooner come
before the public i'm just this way. he
shows us now some of the most excel
lent marines and sea pictures we nave
encountered this season. The first I'M
pression he conveys is that OF gooa
designer not merely adroit, but
thoughtfully effective in the choice Oh
his themes and the development vi
them into fresh, interesting pictorial
units. His trees are painted obviously
where they grow, there is nothine
forced about their relation to the COM
position, but he paints them from INC
right point Of view, causing them, as IL
were. TO play into his hands and tel
with an unexpected charm. The most
conspicuous example is that proViued
by the Summer Clouds. Georgia. but
over and over again we observe TINS
artless dizziness of Mr.. Buffers in his
Californian pictures.
His other salient merit is very true
and very artistic feeling for light Ii
heightens the value OF his work
throughout, giving a richer beauty to
his marines and enduing with an a.
most romantic quality his numerous
landscapes The rosy glow on the noun

The Latest Fad of the Partisan
Independents.

Paris is assuredly the place in which
TO experience the most diversified ar
tistc sensations. From the serene at
mosphere of David, who for all his
revolutionary impulses and realistic
qualities was nevertheless able to keep
his head and abide by rational princi-
pies, one may turn to modernities Of
the most frenzied character. True art
may or may not be the mirror of hu-
mainly or of nature, but a conscien-
mile walk through the Salon of the
independents" extending along the
banks of the Seine between the Alma
bridge and the lena bridge. may be ex-
cused if he feels as If suddenly aroused
from a hypnotic nightmare caused by
too intently gazing at gallery of
magic convex and cOncave looking
glasses. There are 1868 numbers in
the Independents catalogue. Every
body can exhibit at this Salon, pro-
vided the space is paid for-about "
for three average sized canvases. The
result is an appalling array OF good,
bad and Indifferent works.
One finds here every imaginable de-
velopment of art. ranging from Van
GOgh to Signac, or from Renoir to
Gauguin. Among the pictures Of real
merit should be noted those by Signac,
DeZire, Valtat, Francis Jourdain, Mar
Gel Roll, Chariot, Vlaminck, Peske, La
prade. Marquet. Renaudot and La
Coste. Here there is vigorous talent,
courageous search for truth. excellent
drawing, well thought out composition.

Paris, April Z.

Paris. April Z.
The exhibition of the works of LOUIS
David and his pupils, inaugurated TO-
day by President Poincare in the Petit
Palais of the Champs Elysees, is, with
the possible exception of that of lngres
two years ago. the most important and
instructive retrospective art manifesto
ton seen n Paris since the World $
Fair of 1900. David, despite his faults,
was the master of an idea, and, sus-
tanned by genuine talents, he exercised
a direct personal dominant influence In
France and in Europe for over half
century. Had there been no David
there would never have been an lngres.
The little room containing upward OF
fifty paintings and sketches by lngres
is a striking object lesson, showing how
