An old-fashioned method of cleaning

LECTURE ON ISRAELS
HEARD BY ART LOVERS
Prof. A. S. Isaacs, Of New York Uni.
versity, Narrates Genius Of
Dutch Painter.

A trip through quaint Holland via the
| illustrated lecture route, and q narra-
ton of the life of the noted Dutch
painter. Josef Israels, was the treat
given art lovers of the National Capital
last night by Prof. A. s. Isaacs, Of the
New York University, under the auspices
of the Washington Society OF Fine Arts.
A gathering that taxed the spacious
auditorium OF the New National Museum
attested to the facts that Israers genius
is well known in Washington. that Prof.
Isaacs ability as a lecturer Is widely
appreciated and that the series of winter
lectures under the auspices OF the Fine
Arts Society has been recognized as too
good to miss by local artdom.
Israels' chief quality, said Isaacs, was
his love. admiration, and even alteration
of Rembrandt. and, like Rembrandt
Israels possessed the genius OF light and
shade. Israels also had a special gift
in his sense of color and IL was this
sense that gave marvellous expression to
his works, Isaacs declared.
From the birth Of the Dutch master in
1924 Isaacs traced his career through the
time when Israels' parents tried TO edu-
cate him for the clergy, through the days
Of his study in the art school at Am
sterdam, through the days of early man
hood in Paris, through his first and
only failure, and then down to the shore
of the sea, where Isaacs lived with the
people, learned them. loved them. and
finally painted them SO he attained the
fame he wanted
"Israels was more than a painter" said
Isaacs, "for he was a poet He was
more than a poet. for he was a prophet,
and his pictures were texts. In them he
brought TO us a keener sanse Of man.
kinds unity The lecturer concluded
with the death OF the artist last year at
The Hague. In his eighty-second year.
