is a certain EFFECT" which we have
associated with Mr.. Hassam's art, an
effect of nude figures set against
screens of trees, which is in this in
stance absent. It has proved, more
than once, a very beguiling effect.
Yet we are quite reconciled to its
omission, for as we look back at 1t
il seems a trife forced, trife ar
tifcial. and in the true stuff OF his
art Mr.. Hassam has no need OF fac
titious expedients. There it is enough
for him to take nature as he finds
her, to set down her moods in the
truthfulest and, it may be added,
the simplest terms. 1t is inspiritlng
20 note how, as with every genuine
artist, simplicity has more and more
appealed to him, how his method has
broadened. One of the finest groups
of pictures here is the one dedicated
TO rocks and water-the latter of the
deepest, richest blue. Sargent has
done wonders with kindred themes.
But more satisfying than even his
dazzling virtuosity is the sincere sim
plicity with which Mr.. Hassam paints

cate forms the most delightful patine
of opalescent greens and blues. In
especial there is tiny Roman urn, ex-
planned as a wedding gift, evidently
blown into a mould, with the figure of
a woman on one side and man on the
other. time-incrusted, but brilliant as
an abalone shell. By far the most in
terestng piece of the exhibit, however,
is an Arabic enamelled beaker OF the
twelfth century. Its rich, low keyed
colors, mellow reds and blues and
whites, and its charmingly irregular
decorations of Cutie inscriptions and
three fanciful animals, called Sphax,
give it a warmth aud rich presence
not often TO be met.
A year or two ago the Arts and
Crafts movement meant novelty at the
cost Of any extravaganza. Since then
its workers have learned that the pub
lie is not 10 be handled by main
strength. but gracefully lured. So il
is with the two exhibitions at the Lit
tie gallery, the first of hand wrought
jewelry by Margaret Rogers, Josephine
Hartwell Shaw and others, the second
of Byrdcliffe Pottery by Edith Penman,
+. r. Hardenberg and Mabel Dawson.
Both exhibitions furnish real pleasure
in their genuine sense of restraint.
Mrs. Shaw's jewelry especially shows
taste in the working of gold and silver
and gold-silyer alloy. Moreover, her
stones are truly excellent and not the
flat excuses so often provided; witness
her silver brooch of white topaZes and
yellow sapphires and her little brooch
of moonstones. Miss Rogers's enamel
and gold work and combination OF
silver and topaz has a slight art nou-
veau suggestion, but scarcely enough
TO count.
The Byrdcliffe Pottery is done in
Woodstock, New York. by three women
who make their own forms and their
own glazes and to a large extent furn-
ish their own clay. IL is successful,
simple and tasteful in form and color.

Let US give thanks that our national
temperament is, for the most part, in
capable Of producing such work as that
shown in the drawings made for the
art exhibit illustrative of Serge de
Diaghlieff's Ballet Russo, BY Mr.. VI. van
Saanen Algi, Mr.. Robert Montenegro,
Mr.. George Barber. and Mr.. Ludwig
Kainer, now at Charles Scribner's Sons.
Nevertheless we have a lot TO learn
from them. Their work is neurotic,
erotic, abnormal, when viewed in our
sunlight. But, in spite of this. they
make good TO a compelling extent and
their force is lesson to our pussy
footed, puritanical, pretty-girl type of
art. About as much influence as they
will exert, absorbed into our pink
checked, innocuous. magazine-cover
health; should bring excellent results.
Needless TO say all these men pos
sess an unusual knack OF expressing
motion, an especially vital quality here;
since, in dancing, obviously what we
see is action, is the movement from
one pose TO another. In this respect
Mr.. Algi leads. Never are his sketches
frozen into strange attitudes. The
swiftness and lack of detail of his pen
Gil catches and expresses nervous en-
n
save when inherent in his subject. Mr..
Montenegro's method of work, in his
sketches of Nijinsky, is quite the OPP
posite. In some instances he does deal
with motion, as in "Petrouchka,"
strangely interesting, dsagreeable,
black and white figure sharply defined
against painful and realistically out
lined gold silhouette of human heart,
that you feel he studied in the dissect
ing room of a medical school. But here
it is formal motion rather than COM
polling speed. For the most part his
subjects are fixed and set forth in curl
Gus exaggeration by the use of slender
line on white surfaces, contrasted with
heavy masses of black. 1t is the Aubrey
Beardsley story over again.
Mr.. Kainer alone gives US the lighter
side OF life in his colored sketches,
filled with pastel-like blues and pinks.
Also. he too evinces an uncanny sense
of feeting action. The picture feat
ured" beyond the others is Mr. Bar
ber's "Salome," another figure little
in the Beardsley style mostly in black
and white relieved by spots of red and
yellow and streaks of gray, the most
pretentiously exotic of the lot and yet
the most uninspired.
One of the best proofs that art is not
so much a representation of what
thing is as of the way it looks to US
"us" is used because art, after
all, is only product of "us"-

the pictures are grouped in rooms

Those that are good are so good as
to be positively exciting. In TACT
no etcher has appeared in recent
years with so fresh a quality, with so
original a style. 1t is not a linear
style in the Whistlerian sense. You
do not SAVIOR Mr.. Hassam's line as
thing beautiful in itself. But you love
it for its adequacy in the expression
of what he has to convey. WITH TINS

perfectly, getting cool greys and pure
deep blacks that seem in the very
spirit of his themes and to express
the most intimate nuance of his special
taste. That one of his New England
scenes which we reproduce Is aptly
entitled "Old Lace" 1t is won
derfully delicate fabric of line and
light and shade. This plate is char
acteristic also of the wholesome
point of view, the sound subordina-
ton of technique as q means 10 an end,
which we have noted amongst the
water colors. The subject more. than
gets its chance. There is no trans
OF the scene into dec
orative pattern, there is no smart ex-
ploitation of white paper, after the
fashion of so many latter day etchers.
The sentiment of place is given its
full value. Again it is of Mr.. Has
sans sincerity and his gusto that we
think. Rejecting on these two ex-
hibitions, so rich in truth and beauty,
in power and in personality, we end
as we began, giving thanks for the
artist who has a mania for making
pictures.
