He urges the adoption of the Massachusetts,

And yet, when all is said. the beautiful

cold and empty, even repellant. The

Paintings and Sculptures by
the Vonnohs and Others.

Mr.. Robe. Vonnoh and his wife make
a pretty exhaustive exhibition Of their
work at the Montross gallery, he with
seventy-five or eighty paintings and
she with twenty-five or thirty sculp-
lures. Both these artists have tall
ent, which they would have put, per-
haps, in a better light if they had
not rather overcrowded the space
available on this occasion. Mrs. Won
noh well sustains the modest but au-
thentic repute which she gained when
as Miss Bessie Potter she first came
into view with her graceful tigurines.
There is nothing. indeed, very strong
or personal about her modelling. and
when she essays the nude she leaves
a somewhat colorless impression. But
her little draped figures, 1.-the young
girls in fiuttering movement and SINH
larlv graceful mothers with their chill
dren, almost invariably make their due
effect of elegance and of tender sent.-
ment. Mrs Vonnoh has a light touch
and a dcft way Of hitting upon the
charming attitude or gesture. Her
children are engaging little creatures.
In them, as in her studies Of older
types. one might welcome a simpler

and broader treatment Of form; hut
TO ask the artist for this would be
TO ask her to be some one else. Her
method. specifically pleasing as il is,
remains her own method.
The pictures and portraits which
Mr.. Vonnoh shows sum up fairly well
the development of his career Long
ago he knew how to paint a good
landscape. as witness the delightful
November" which we have seen
over and over, and are glad to see
again. The quiet harmony OF color
achieved I'm this work, the perfectly

man, and they are likable into the
bargain. We are attracted, too. by
those figure subjects into which he
has brought something Of the lumi-
nous quality Of his open air work.
They are very winning in color too,

and women in attitudes OF repose and
violence. He gives them gestures
which now seem expressive Of some in
tense purpose and are now indicative
Of thOughtless languor The main
point always is that the figure is su-
perbly drawn, that anatomical struct-
ure is stated not merely with truth and
force. but with that exquisite and in
teresting touch which finds its enlores-
cence in the magic of style. Mr.. Davies
is truly a master i'm his drawings. The
latter have in them that indefinable but
unmistakable quality which is associ-
ated in our minds with ideas of endur-
ing beauty. Somehow we are con-
WINGED that the immediate appeal he
makes will not fade. The drawings
which we admire so much to-day we
will be admiring whenever they come
back into view. though this be years
hence. AS usual, when we make the
transition from the drawings to the
paintings we are not so sure. The

and since they are painted with a
clever pictorial and decorative Judg-
ment they impress us as no less sue
cessful, in their way, than the lano-
scapes. At the same time, it is in
the latter that Mr.. VOnnoh is clearly
most himself, most happily at case
with his material. OF his many
portraits it is not possible TO speak
with the same cordiality. Their viz
tues are obvious. The likeness is
there, the drawing and modelling are
entirely respectable, and the color,
though sometimes a shade too bright
and hard, is kept well enough in hand
Nevertheless the sad truth has to be
faced that as portrait painter MIR.
Vonnoh does not rise above q conven-
tional, an even commonplace, level lie
is the competent journeyman rather
than the artist of creative power.
Mrs. BENJAMIN Guinness, who shows
a collection Of portraits at the knoed-
Ter gallery, would seem to have formed
her work on rather diverse models. In
the ouietude of her tones ard IN the
simplicity OF her arrangement she IS
family Whistlerian, but in the painting
of some of her heads there Is an al
tempt at a directness suggestive OF the
influence of Manet, filtered down
through the practice of Mr.. ROBERT
Henri. Mrs. Guinness has talent, ana
her portraits give a certain PROMISE
but their effect is, in general, amateur
ish. Her mild success in characterl"-
ing her sitters is hardly matched py
the necessary technique. Beyond
pleasing refinement Of color and
measure Of grace in design her work
has little to command appreciation
For its full development 1t requires
greater firmness in execution, more
nervous force, better drawing and mod

significance. In the same room there

Drawings and Paintings by Ar
thur B. Davies.

Mr.. Arthur b. Davies has sent 10 the
Carroll galleries fairly volumnous
collection of his paintings and draw
ings. There is no catalogue and no
titles are affixed 10 the frames. We do
not miss these things. This is plainly
an informal affair. "a sort Of amiable

sharply. contrasted black and white
and the condensed, dramatic spirit Of
the Faust" WOodcuts we turn TO such

he works he exercises the same skill

and charming appeal. Decidedly,
Walter Klemm is worth While.

rank. For the beauty and special vital
ity Of line as line, in the etcher's sense,
he has no gift at all, and so it is with
one artist after another in the big
group. So many of them are so clev-
erly picturesque, so many Of them are
so facile and so amusing, that we long
to find them making really distin-
guished affirmation OF inventive genius.
They make nothing of the sort. Jo-
