NOTES OF ART AND ARTISTS.

Tho impression given by the Zuloaga
paintings. now on exhibition at the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art. is rather
several instances are distinctly grim
and terrible. but that they are the work
of q capable, forecful painter cannot be
denied. Zuloaga is, it is said. a true
son Of somber Gothic Spain, the Spain
that through eight centuries was the
scene of bitter strife and cynical op-
preston. His art is austere and rigor-
Gus. as unlike that OF his compatriot,
Sorolla, as anything could possibly be.
More traditional, but far less sunny, it
is, however, essentially virile and COM
HIS is a Basque and comes of a family
of craftsmen. The leading museums and
royal collections of Europe all contain
examples of the art of one of his ances-
tors. a veritable latter day Benvenuto
Cellini." Zuloaga's father was likewise
q worker in metal and one of the paint
age OF sixty-five in his shop at Eibar.
where he lived and labored for over
half a. century and where Ignacio was
born in July, 1870.
A chance visit to Madrid made Zu-
loaga acquainted, when a young man,
with the works of Greco, Velasquez and
Goya. and filled him with the desire to
be painter. He Is said to have haunt
ed the Prado for days. and found no
contentment until his father bought
him brushes and paint, and he copied
one of the great works to take home
with him. Finally, when barely eight
cen. he was allowed to go to Rome to
study. but he found Rome not at all to
his liking. and after few months of
