TUCKER WORKS IN
WHITNEY GALLERY
Impressionist's Work Suffers
Somewhat Through Insult
able Backgrounds.

The second exhibition of the season
in Mrs. Henry Payne Whitney's gal
leries in West Eighth street Is de-
voted to the newest works Of the
American impressionist, Allen Tucker.
Mr.. Tucker is almost IL not quite a
post -impressionist, for his palette Is
strident with vivid green's and blues
and he puts almost as many swirls
into his paint as did Van Gogh.
1t must be said at once that the
artists color schemes do not adapt
themselves very readily TO Mrs Whit
ney's new backgrounds, which proved
so becoming 10 Ernest Lawson's pic
lures The lighting. too, descendS at
too sharp an angle for them, and In
certain of the works-notably In the
CRANBERRY lsland"--it Is difficult to
see anything beyond the excessively
high high-lights. Accidents OF this
nature, however, are OF the sort that
all paintings encounter at times In
their history, and when pictures are
knocked out completely by an un-
fortunate lighting II is usually con-
sidered q sign OF inherent weakness
in the work. Monumental qualities
make themselves felt even under ad-
verse conditions.
Mr.. Tucker is at his best in three
landscapes, albany Intervale," THE
Farm In February" and 10 Midi.
The hrst is a mountain landscape
simply arranged. with the stir Of air
and nature in it. His success in this
is the more pleasant in that he usually
seems to require something pro-
nounced in the way Of subject to In
spire him. Just as his pictures them
selves require fastidious lighting, sc
also Is his muse exacting as to the
conditions under which she consents
to dole out atmosphere.
The Farm in February and LIE
Midi" have the kind of novelty o.
aettinR that she prefers.
