The Evolution of a Genius

certain instructive bearing on his own
art. They are not petty" as it seems
TO US, when seen in the whole perspec-
tive Of Rousseau's special hypothesis,
but they would have been petty" for
lnness. By the nature Of his genius
he was impelled to go on where Rous-
seau often left off, to synthesize his
forms and thereby raise them TO a
higher power. If he did not always
actually do this it was not because
his principle was wrong, but because
he was a creature of mood, having his
good and his bad moments.
The discipline in which he trained
himself was but an aid to memory, the
foundation supplied by the fact for the
realization of the dream. "My forms
are at my finger tips, as the alphabet is
on the tongue of SOCIOLOGY" ne used
to say, and perhaps the best story ever
told to show the confidence with which
he could rely upon them Is the one
about the landscape, with cows, in
which the cows were only notes Of
color. The man who had purchased IL
at the Academy fetched it to Inness
and asked him to "touch up" the cattle.
When he came back he found that his
landscape had been turned into a sun
set glowing over a stormy sea! Could
anything more completely destroy an
artists repute for painting with his eye
on the object? But that wasn't pre-
cisely the repute that lnness was look

ing for. He was, at bottom, something
of an improvisatore, like Monticello or
Bunce; something of a "symphonist,
like Whistler. Only that alphabet of
his was always creeping in; the funda-
mental knowledge of as clear-eyed
realist as ever lived was at the base OF
his most fervid improvisation.
To get good idea Of this underlying
truth of his az regards form the stu
dent should make a point of visiting the
Dudensing exhibition, paying special
attention to the water colors. Let HIM
observe more particularly the studies
of trees and rocks, and those OF Alpine
structure. He will see how penetrating
Inness was, and how exact And he will
see, again, even in these little sketches,
the action of that subtle feeling 20
which we have alluded in speaking of
1.-THE Juniata River" Inness may be
never so careful as TO the object before
him. and Yet he will turn it into pict-
ure. enveloping it in the quality of his
stvle. Yes, he knew all about form.
But TO have emphasized it in his paint
ines would have been, for him, petty.
He saw his scene as a whole, saw 1t
emotionally; saw it, too, as coiorist
Hence the not infrequent treatment OF
the earth In his compositions as matter
having next TO no anatomy. This cava-
lier handling of the problem is some
times disconcerting. One wishes for a
little more solidity, a little more
structure. But to ask that Is 70 ask
Inness TO be some one else, and, incl
dentally, to overlook what he IS really
driving at. That is the broad impress
sion of atmospheric truth, doubled with

There are so few American artists
possessing thoroughly educatec eyes
that an exhibition like that of the
work of william Glackens at the Dan
iel gallery might be considered an
event of some Importance. Mr.. Glack-
ems shows here nineteen pictures, all
Of them recent. The accusation OF re-
sembance to Renoir, made by those
casual observers who could overlook
the disciples of Redfeld without a
qualm. can certainly no longer stand.
His color now has caught up with his
drawing, always personal and viva
cious, so that the two may run along
together in a powerful, pleasant and
convincing union. Though French in
derivation, if you will, his is an
American vision, freed from nearly
all the old traditions, wide open to
life i'm all those aspects of IL in which
color is a significant, il, indeed, not an
all important part. This is a joyous
world, peopled by pleasure seekers ar
rayed in colors that vie with those Of
flowers, and filled with a spirit ami
mated by an eXuberant sun. 1t knows
neither spiritual nor actual darkness.
Il is a colorist's world, intoxicated by
the gayety Of its own evidence. Mr..
Glackens reproduces il with care to
omit only the mysterious, an accident
here, which may be the dismal. 1t IS
not a dignifed -dignifed in the
common sense-for it is one in which
manners are for the moment or for the
season discarded and man appears his
primitive self. These men and women
swing their arms freely in large inn
petuous gestures; drunk themselves
with sunlight, they initiate its extrsva-
gances. These are also the extrava-
gances of the painter and this world
is his own.

under a blaze Of sunlight, through
which individuals move with little
respect for any but riotous rhythms,
give the cue to the collection. Nothing
here is perfunctory. The artist con-
tinually finds something new 10 won
der at and to record; strange color
or an animated array of lines. Life is
full of little things waiting TO delight
curious eyes. People are so funny and
so enchanting There are no masses;
there are only individuals who come

scape art TO a nobler estate. That Is
what we come back to in all three Of
these exhibitions. In all OF them there
is, first and last, beauty. In all OF
them Inness asserts not only the au-
thority OF a piercing observer, but the
ideal of a creative artist
How far he travelled from the pa
tient notation of ponderable details!
And yet how consistent was his evolu-
ton, now steadily expressive through
all its phases of nothing more nor less
than a passion for the loneliness of
nature! It is interesting to note the
persistence in his work of the racy,
elemental quality which belongs TO the
American countryside. which makes
him one of the most characteristic fig
ures American art has ever known.
The classical influences he found in
Italy never fixed themselves upon him.
Il is significant that while he painted
quite a number of more or less heroic
canvases he never made any OF them
monumental" in the strict sense OF
the term. Look at the two big pictures
of Niagara in the Reinhardt show.
Inness got some color out of that I'M
possible subject, but he was no more
successful than anybody else has ever
been in crystallizing it into a pictorial
unit. His gift was for nothing OF the
sort. In the matter Of design he was
by no means uniformly apt Some OF
his motives have a haphazard air.
Others suggest his having cared more
for the sentiment Of a given scene than
for the pictorial balance which meant
so much to the Barbizon school. But

sensuous charm. And when a painter
achieves these things in terms Of
beauty, how absurd it is to repine over
the elements that he chooses to omitl
There was n period when he gave
that structural impression to which
reference has just been made and,
though not pussant colorist, Sc
cured some wonderfully beautiful facts.
1t is the period of the '70s and of his
travels in Italy. Witness for its cool,
steady virtues the lovely "Albano" in
the Dudensing exhibition. The very
spirit Of an old Italian hill town is in
this picture, and with it, besides great
beauty Of composition, family sug-
gestive of the classical influences sur
rounding him, just the clarity of state
ment which we occasionally miss IN the
works Of his prime. The "Albano" Is
n gem, a perfect illustration of the
painters middle period. He went on
from that stage, from the triumphs OF
the faithful interpreter TO those of the
landscape poet, from the skill of the
accomplished craftsman to the brayura
Of the virtuoso, the emotional affirma-
tions OF the inspired colorist-with
nature still his guide. There are some
notable examples Of his progress In
the Reinhardt exhibition, which, as we
have said, confronts US chiefly with
the essential Inness. Glance for mo-
ment at, say, the "Gate at Albano" to
fix In the mind our artists more vt
ersl habit and then turn to pictures
like "The Sunburst" or "1he Wind
storm" or "The Apple Tree" Nature
has her way, the fact is stated, but we
are moving now in a new world of air
and color, in world transmogrified by
imagination, made radiant with beauty.
II is Inness using his forms, we re-
peat, as a means TO an end, turning a
landscape into a marine and violating
no truths in the process, remembering
