SARGENTS PORTRAIT OF WILSON
WINS ACRID COMMENT AT ACADEMY
Admirers of the President Find Much to Criticize
and Little to Praise in Fifty-T Thousand
Dollar Canvas
BY M'LISS

TT JOHN SINGER SARGENT had only
been able to view Thomas Woodrow
Wilson through the eyes Of the majority
OF the hundreds of worshipers who are
thronglng the shrine of the formers por-
trait Of the latter at the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, the famous
artist would undoubtedly have achieved
the most remarkable portrait Of this or
any other con.
lie would have shown Glorined Be-
Ing with a brow of "A Marcus Aurelius
the nose of julius Caesar, the eye of
a Napoleon the chin of an Alexander
the Great and the jaw of John L.
Sullivan. There would have radated
from the picture the spirit of Hercules
and Solomon and Washington and Ham
iIton-with perhaps a touch OF James Is.
Hackett and Dustin Farnum
But Sargent Is as Sargent does and,
therefore, the worshipcrs at the shrine
have TO concern themselves with the
representation of the Man OF the Hour
as he was seen by one with reputation
for skilled analysis in portraiture, rather
than for o-worshiping.
II Is Just that fact that gets under
the skin OF most OF the onlookers. They
want a Wilson who looks handsome
and forceful and sagacious and good
with touch of deviltry, too. OF course.
They are given instead a Wilson who Is
tired and serious and far too benign
and PROFESSIONAL"
1t was a motley crowd that stood
before the portrait on one Of the free"
days.

III you get a reputation for getting up

added and an earnest lettercarrler,
whose sack bulged with undeiNercd mail
as he haunted the galleries of art,
nodded emphatic approval.
In All there wasn't a great deal of
regret expressed at the fact that the
portrait after the exhibition. Is to leave

lery of Ireland in Dublin. Tho $4,000
for it was given to the British Red Cross
by the late Hugh Lane, who went down
on the Lusitania. The portrait was TO
have pcen of him. but the Germans in
terferod, and so the gallery which re-
ceived the money decided should Wilson
and Sargent prove willing. TO have a
portrait of "the greatest President of
the United States by the greatest por-
trait painter"
Judging from the opinions expressed
at the Academy, however, a greater por-
trait of the President ought to be
painted.
