as Mr.. Samuel Yellin. The designs for
most of this gentleman's exhibits were
made, it is true, by architects, by Mr.
Magonigle, Mr.. Goodhuc and others.
But the essential character of his beau
tlful productions has its origin in
distinctly personal gift. He is repre-
sentative of an extraordinarily large
body of our manufacturers.
We hope to return ON another occasion
to the photographs and drawings of
purely architectural exhibits, furtively
inserted in an alleyway at the rear Of
the big plllarcd scene in the third gal
lery. The setback given to building op,
erations by the war is doubtless re-
sponsiblc to some extent for the subor-
! dination of this section of the show;
but at the best, architecture could
hardly be expected to figure very con-
spicuously in an affair Of the sort
Neverthe less, it is pleasant to note that

Three years ago, when Mr.. Bryson
Burroughs first made full exhibition
Of his works in this city, VIC found the
charm Of what he did somewhat OBJ
scured by the manner in which he did /
it. There was stiffness in his draw
ing and modelling, there was hardness
in his surfaces, there was coldness in
his color. And yet he took US captive.
Now at the Montross gallery he re-
turns with eighteen pictures, all but
two of them new, and this time he is
even more compelling The old tech
ncal foibles are there, but they are
less insistent upon getting between us
and the true substance Of this artists
work. Is it that in the short space Of
two or three years he has heightened
his proficiency as a craftsman? Yes,
in some measure. His surfaces seem
now little finer, his handling shade

with it's typical American houses thin
ly veiled behind bare trees and it's
foreground Of icy waters, you feel that
the scene has emerged from no selec-
tive process. 1t has not been composed
in the studio. Here, rather, is an cx-
ample of the purest kind OF realism,
OF truth suffering no admixture Of pic
torial purpose in the narrow sense.
Considering Mr.. Lawson as an impress
sionist you do not consider him as the
disciple of school. He is an impress
sionist because he cannot help himself.
He deals by instinct in light and air.
And finally, in his color, he is perhaps
more original, more free, than in any
thing else. His art has passed through
more or less clearly defined stages; he
is working now, on the whole, in dark
key where he formerly was addicted to
light one, yet he never suggests, as
so many so-callcd colorists do suggest,
that he takes his harmonies out of a
box, where there are lots more of the
same sort. His pictures are all new
chords, for they all spell new, fresh
attacks upon nature. They have be-
guiling sensuous charm, springing from
beauty of color, but what serves
equally we'll to give them their lasting
effect is the sheer truth in them, the
sincerity and simplicity of the artists
vision, his penetrating sympathy for
his subject. His studies of the hills
and valleys of Westchester, fascinating
in their resonant tones, are memorable
above all things for their robust fidel-
ity to the American scene.

line than is discernible in his paint
lngs. We regret the omission in the
latter But it does not really count;
so much that is infinitely more valu-
able remains.
1t is a great thing to be able to
embody romantic scene from classi-
cal antiquity and to do it in such
wise that the antique motive takes on
modern poignancy, touches us with
the vivid, searching emotion of human
Life. This is the rare achievement To
be attributed to Mr.. Burroughs. When
he paints "The Consolation of Ari
adne," or "Demcter in Winter" or
"The Runaway Princess" or almost
any of his remote themes, he is no
pedantic archaologist, fumbling the
dry leaves of the pagan mythology.
but a born believer in the magic of
poetry, made free of its far, enchanted
world. Something of "thc large ut
terance of the early gods" creeps into
his idiom. He makes us think of
Puvis now and then, both in the char
acter OF his forms and in the nature
of his light, cool tones; but the nobil
lty of his conceptions is plainly an in
dividual trait A composition like the
"Arladne" aforesaid has the weight
and the grace Of true invention. 1t is
as though, after the manner of the
authentic creative painter, he waved
his wand and in trice caused the
lovely scene to rise before US, filled
with the vitality of nature and bathed
IN the glamour of the subject. In one
respect we perceive clearly enough an
improvement in technique since he
last came before the public. AS de-
slgner he has steadily simplified his
schemes. They are put together with
better balance, and, by the same
token, with a greater freedom. The
idea, which always happily means so
emuch to him, is better seen and the
more forcefully realized. AS his emo
ton waNes-and there seems to us

spontaneously the pictorial unity at
which he aims. He is uneven, still.
There are pictures here like the
"Spring Holiday" which in their thin
character are hardly comprehensive
as coming from the hand that painted
the "Ariadne." But this unevenness
only intensifies our idea of his art as
remarkably personal thing. 1t show;
us how free he is from formulas, how
entirely he depends upon mood, upon
inspiration. He has conventions of his
own, perhaps, as witness his manner
of generalizng the waves in his two
sea pieces, and his color, through
out, is based upon an altogether atbi-
trary translation of the phenomena of
the visible world. But to all his con-
ventions the imaginative charm of
these pictures gives an absolute va
lidity.

Skill and Taste in Manufacture

At the press view last Friday the cx-
hibition OF the Architectural League in
tho Fine Arts Building was still in the
hands Of its organizers and in too con-
fused state to convey quite the i'm
preston aimed at. Yet it was possible
TO spprehend the broad lines of the
show and to form an idea of the pur-
pose underlying them. This is to ex-
tend the appeal hitherto made by the
league to the public, to bring the build
Ing crafts into the foreground and
illustrate architectural design not only
through drawings and photographs, but
through works of craftsmanship so ar
ranged as to give the layman some
thing of the sensation he might have in
wandering through a veritable house.
Only the house in this instance is
pitched in the key of what we suppose
might be called "a palatial hotel" A
series of small chambers-or booths
forms the introduction to the show.
The two remaining galleries, with the
aid Of heroic pillars and swelling
draperies, have been transformed into
"grand" halls. Owing to the restricted
space this has proved a rather over
whelming expedient, the riskiness Of
which has been emphasized by the en-
ployment of extremely powerful colors,
rich blues, yellows and the like. The
ensemble is nothing if not gorgeous, a
fact in which there may be detected
certain unconscious humor. This is all
for the public. 1t is to show our people
the resources of American architects.
decorators and artisans in the creation
of presumably opposite, twentieth CEN
tury interiors. Incidentally, it is fair
to assume, there is some intention os
contributing to the education of public
taste. Yet the general affect is that of
some Pittsburgh Sardanapalus on the
rampage. The ordinary child of nature,
puzzled over problems of house build
ing and furnishing, might we'll flee in
bewildered terror from this blare of
color and theatricality. Nor could he
expect to gain here any really plaus-
lblc glimpses into the mode of life
characteristic Of the millionaire. This

cumstances to see how the other half
lives.
On the other hand, if a peep show is
necessary to beguile the public into the
