painters. nor did he enroll himself at
any of the great French schools. "All l
knew of the Ecole des Beaux Arts" he
has said. was the view had Of 1t from
the windows OF the Louvre" In other
words, he is one who has sought out
new paths and made for himself q way
peculiarly his own.
John Sargent, in an Introduction to
the official catalogue of this exhibition,
Senior Zuloagas evocations might lead
one to consider him as as personality
quite unique and unrelated'to any past
tradition; as creator of types and of
a setting for them charged with an in
tensity of life strained to q pitch not
reached before. But it is in this very
excess of romanticism that his link
with one of the two main tendencies OF
the Spanish school can be recognized.
Realism. in which 1t is always stepped,
Is, of course. the dominant note of this
school, but it has periodically thrown
of into realms of the imaginative some
such surprising offshoot as ell Greco, the
mystic. and as the magician Goya. In
realism attacks what Is most transcen-
dental or most fantastic, and gives 1t a
dense material existence. Although Zu-
loaga reverses the process, we may sa-
lutte IN MIN the apparitton OF q cOrre-
spending power. His material belongs
to reality and is of the earth, earthly;
but. as II whirled to another planet. 1t
seems to acknowledge the grip of new
laws and to acquire a keener life from
new relationships imposed by this great
artists imperious Will"
The subjects which Zuioaga has
chosen are all typtcaily Spanish, and

which will long linger in the recoliec-
tion OF those who see 1t. It was
painted partly, as a protest against the
sorry lot which befalls the poor Rozi-
nantes who are forced to enter the bull
ring. though the painter himself was
at one time a torero and is an ardent
patron of the Spanish national sport.

Zuloaga's paintings of women are pc
culiarly feminine and for the most part
rather unattractive. Their personality
is exceedingly tnsinuating,s but in a
way 1t is by no means pleasant. They
have their charm. but with a few ex-
ceptions seem peculiarly lacking in
frankness and nobility. His portraits,
however, are all Of a distinctly unusual

MANY RUGS KNOWN AS PERSIAN
MANUFACTURED IN BULGARIA.
Consul General Murphy Says It Takes
Weaver Year to Turn Out About
Sixteen Square Yards of Carpet .:

Householders who pay fabulous
prices for Per an rugs may be shocked
to learn that many of these rugs are
woven in Bulgaria, says Consul General
D. !. Murphy. in the course of a report
great strides Bulgaria has made in re-
cent years in carpet weaving.
1t takes a workman a year to turn
out about sixteen square yards of car
pet, but when he gets done the result
is some" carpet.
Consul Murphy says:
while carpets have been woven in
Bulgaria for nearly $50 years, the pro-
duction Of the finer qualities dates from
the Liberation in 1873. Before that
time Bulgaria was a Turkish province
and the product Of its looms was for
domestic use. little or no regard being
had for the requirements of modern
taste. Since then-and especially dur
ing the last ten years-progress in the
industry has been so marked that Bull
garian carpets in design, texture. fin
ish and style have surpassed those of
Turkish, fumanian, Serbian o. Gre
clan manufacture. This will sound
strange to those who pay almost fab

tories many skilled Turkish weavers
(both men and women) are employed,
as well as expert weavers of other
eastern nationalities. but the majority
OF the workers are Bulgarians.
Center Of the Industry.
I'm the heart of the Balkan moun-
tains. not far from the Rose valley,
where Bulgaria's famous altar of roses
is distilled. will be found the center of
the Bulgarian carpet industry. There
are large factories at Panaguerishte,

A. Persiyskf. The Bulgaro-American
Carpet Company operates large estab-
lishments at Panasuerishte. Kopriv-
shtitza, sopot; Teteven and Tatar-
Pazardjik under American manage
ment. At Pirot is still another under
q Serbian director The product of
these establishments. especially the Bull
garo-American. goes to the United
such carpets as can be produced prob
ably nowhere else There are also
smaller establishments at Klissoura,
Karlovo and Rahmanli. Bulgaria,
however. receives but little credit for
these exquisite productions. many of
which appear in the American market
at Turkish and Persian carpets.
