New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-02-10
Notes

Mr.. Charles HOpklnSOn IS making an
interesting exhibition at the Arden gal
lery Of his portraits and marines, show
ing twenty-five or thirty oils and al
most as large q group of water colors
He commands respect by his sincerity.
There is no straining after effect in his
work, no emphasis placed upon the
decorative pattern" to which so many
of our modern portrait painters are ad-
dicted. In his two best paintings. the
'Prof. G. H. Palmer and the "Miss
l.. c. Putnam" the particular traits he
reveals are sympathy in characterize
ton and kind of suave thoroughness
in workmanship. He is uneven, fact
which might have been concealed from
us it he had not made his exhibition a
little too freely retrospective. There
are too many paintings here. Some of
them are unworthy of a man of his
talent. But he manages to throw the
lesser works into the background.
When we are looking at the two por-
traits just cited, or at the spirited
sketch of "Mr. James Hendrck," or at
the captivating III. II. and Her Sister,"
or at the sparkling marines, we think
only of his fresh point of view, his
pleasant color and his exhlarating
! facility
The Levy gallery makes an exhibition
of collection Of some thirty odd paint
ings recently bought en- bloc from Mr.
Sanden-paintings by the late A. H
Wyant, D. W. Tryon, J. Francis
Murphy and the Canadian artist
Horatio Walker. 1t is an exceptionally
brilliant group of landscapes, domi-
mated by one masterpiece, Wyant's
"Wayside Pool" but maintaining q
pretty high level throughout. The
Tryons are of both early and later
periods, and embrace some lovely illus
trations of his delicate art. There are
eight or ten Wyants, every one of them
breathing the sweet sylvan spirit of lis
robust naturalism. The "Wayside
Pool" is a glorious picture, the kind of
thing that neither Diaz nor Rousseau
could have bettereds
At the Enrich gallery there are
paintings by "the lesser known mas
ters," old pictures which make no pre-
tence to importance" but frequently
have sterling, though modest, merit.
John Thomson, Of Duddington, an OBJ
scure landscape man of hundred years
ago; Allan Ramsay, Joseph Highmore,
Alessandro Magnasco, Angelica Kauf-
mann, Guido REM and other mediocre
names are not unpleasantly repre-
scented. The most arresting piece on
the walls is vivacious sketch of a
Rubens-like motive by Pieter Eastman.
The Eclectics, which is to say Walter
Griffin, George Luks, Philip l.. Hale
and other painters, with Mahonri
Young, Scion II. Borglum and other
sculptors, are having an exhibition at
the Folsom gallery.

show of new paintings by Mr.. Augustus
Vincent Tack. Water colors by Mr.
Clifford Beal are at the Macbeth gal
lery. The Reinhardt gallery shows re-
cent portraits by Mr. S. Montgomery
