public during the week beginning
December II a museum of art that is
not only OF III" decpc present ..tvrCs,
but is likely to have important bearings
upon the art history OF the future. 1t

is largely his work. scarcely a brick
in it but has been thoughtfuly placed
by him. Sometimes the bricks have
been placed and replaced until just the
right feeling for the arch or the line
has been obtained, for Mr. Barnard and
his workmen have been working IN the
ancient way, trying to secure fitting
background for the ancient carvings
These carvings. which comprise the
pillars and capitols Of the Cloisters. as
wei, as virgins. 81 nts and martyrs IN
the round and in relief. are in the loftiest
vein of Gothic art. To provide worthy
setting for them has been Mr. Bar
nard's dream for many years. Now at
last 1t has come true and the public is
TO share in 1t.
The story of how this American
sculptor came To acquire these extraor-
binary and now almost priceless
sculptures is highly romantic one and

in the design of the museum are so
novel and important tina. -. shah he

The building is far from state Of
completion and it Will be some time yet
before all the affairs and carvings and

the war in Europe induced Mr.. Barnard
TO hasten forward the installations Of

( Cordes" and that called lie Midi" a
green hiIi seen through tall poplars, are
the two that have the least manner
isms and that will be most liked. As a
rulc Mr.. Tucker loads the paint heav-
lily upon the canvases, swirls his skies
into restless volutes and otherwise
echoes the style Of Van Gogh.
The color in all OF the picture 10 ex-
ceedIngly agreeable. though not particu-
larry individual The quality that puts
modernity in the work Ia due to the fact
that this painter follows Van Gogh. 1t
is to be hoped that next year he will
discover still another palatable little
town and that then In addition to fnd-
ing the place he will also discover
nature and himself.
He does not follow Van Gogh 20 IN
discriminatory as he used TO. but puts
in a Van Gogh touch here and there an
though merely insisting upon a reason
able up u dateness. 1t Is noticeable
that the New York scenes are not nearly
so much affected by Van Gogh. Mr..
Tucker has painted both the S.. Regis
and the Plaza hotels. They are such
nice hotels both of them. and they have
crowds OF admirers who will like the
snowstorms. Mr.. Tucker has tried TO
be perfectly fair, but the Plaza picture
has a church steeple in the foreground.
Now the st. Regis clientele will be quite
offended. we fear. because the artist
neglected to put church steeple In
their picture. Hotels like TO have
churches near by. but OF course not too
near. as the Hotel Gotham may testify.
When Mr.. Tucker does the Gotham, as
ne no doubt soon will. 1t will be quite
all right To omit the church.
Mr. fuckers chalk drawings, two
dozen Of which are shown, are too slight
for exhibition purposes. They are not
studies" but nasty and careless jot-
tinEs with CO.ored chalks of scenes near
Cordes that have an irritating and
empty smartness. IL We regard the
Cordes paintings with kindly feelings
i, is because of the evidence in them OF
an increased earncstness Of manner. In
putting aside the chalk drawings We
must remind the artist that his master,
Van Gogh. was as deeply in earnest
with bit of crayon as with the brush.
None of the portraits shown comes up
in assurance and confidence Of style to
the landscape. MIR. Tucker seems 10 be
still feeling his way among the mod
ern" formulas. The figure paintings
are all clever enough Ia attract inspec-
ton. but not quite successful enough to
hold 1t. 1t is undoubtedly a good thing
for us to have Mr.. Tucker and his
young friends painting such portraits.
