lecture
Mr. Blum Is one Of the foremost exponents
Of the modern school OF painting with his
wife Lucille Swan Blum. n sculptor, he has
lust returned from China and japan where
he endeavored TO reconcile the American
modern virility Of color conception. as he
phrases Il. with the restraint OF the ancient
Chinese art Hhe has brought back as a
result some capital paintings of which. II
A iayman may rush In to prophesy where
an expert may fear to do 50, some are des-
tined to live. These paintings are now being
exhibited at the Philadelphia Art Alliance
before being shown In New York. Later
they will be taken TO Paris.
Mr.. Blum has the reputation OF being
4 painter OF the modern school who has
kept his head. When he paints n woman
one recognizes II as woman. II does not
look like n dislntegrating staircase or a
rick polywog. Likewise his bridges are
bridges and the canals that they span do
not remind one of daschund or an explo-
sion in a boiler factory. But his colors are
vivid startling. Just to look at them makes
you feel drab. You hate your blue suit and
black hat and yearn for n yellow tunic
with big splotches of green and purple and
red In II.
Because of the sanity he has maintained
amid whirling maze of vorticsm, imaglsm,
cubism and futurism, I asked him II he
would talk to me OF the new art--what Il
was leading to. where and why, and IL there
was any hope for America.
SEEKS GAYER CoLoRs
"A big renaissance is coming in the
United States" he said earnestly. We are
moving that way. but IL will not come until
we learn to love color, life and gaiety
more. Everything h so gray, so drab Look
at an American city. Look at our archi-

"And why not?" he asked vehementiy
Everything should be a blaze of color
Artists should design the buildings. Pink
notes could be introduced and little green
shutters and red roofs and purples-our
clothing should be brighter. Men should

as though the idea was too much for him.

is striving. Good will come OF her efforts.
Tho determination TO have pure color and
plenty OF II Is good. That is step In the
right direction. Look at the rainbow. The
primary colors do not clash there. And no
artist can beat the rainbow"
Some, was on the point OF adding, have
beaten IL into an oleaginous insensbility,
but refrained. since Mr.. Blum Is not one
OF these. He has done such wonderful brill
liant things with the primary colors. His
portrait OF Chinese girl and his 500 Chow
bridge and sunlight canas are such marvel
Gus examples Of that which is good In the
new art they so unanswerably deny George
Moore's recent assertion that art Is dead, "
