The bill provides that any person,

ations, Mr.. Davies begins to harbor
that maleticcAt thing a purpose. We
do not know just what it. is. We only
know that the old naive scenes, peopled
with creatures of faery, give place to
what we suppose are to be called, in
the iargon of the modernist, "ara-
besques of form" Instead of the phan-
tom images which ravish us in Uni

charm completely disappears. Sophis-
tication has crept in and knocked his
primitivism into cooked hat. The
more he thinks, where once he was
evidently satisfied to dream and TO
icel, the more outrc he becomes. and,
what is worse. ugliness usurps the
rule Of beauty.
This. of course, is the tragic loss his
art has sustained. No one in his senses
could grudge a painter the fun OF max
ing new experiments, but it becomes an
eHasperating business when they lead
him TO the production of garish, banal
things. We shall hear. no doubt, in
the course OF this exhibition, which
lasts for a month and Is bound to make
n good deal of talk much about the

was drawn from the naive delineation
of his poetic fancies to a more and

1t is automatic that a work of art
gains in power in proportion to the
fulness with which creative genius
wreaks upon it all the forces of human
thought and feeling. We have glanced
with this point in mind at the superior
ity Of Botticclli to Piero. We might
allude here, in passing, to the still
further strides made by Raphael in
his great decorations in the Vatican.
Painting only WAKES in splendor as the
human mind cnriches it with nobler
elements Of artistic form. But these
in turn must justify themselves before
the human mind. They must make a
comprehensive appeal. There is. in
principle, no earthly reason why Mr.
Davies should not have sought 10 make
his art cpical where i'll earlier days it
was merely lyrical. But, with all re-
spect for his sincerity and enthusiasm,
we mus. protest that 50 far as his

quite unacadcmic art of that British

drawings by American and European
artists make an entertaining little ex-
hibition Several masters of the last
century are represented, the suavely

who support it, But in this instance
good things and dull things arc sadly
