By Royal Cortissoz

FHE salient exhibition of the mo-
ment is that of Courbets paint
ings, which has just been
opened at the Metropolitan Museum,
an exhibition dedicated absolutely to
the modern spirit. That is the spirit
prevailing in all the galleries just now.
But perhaps for this very reason
welcome doubly warm should be given
to the show current at the Canessa
gallery There is nothing modern
here. The great room In which Mr..
Altman used to hang the masterpieces
now assembled at the museum is re-
filed by the Messrs. Canessa after the
fashion of some rich Florentine pal
nzzo. Old furniture, old pedestals and
the lofty walls covered with some dark
stuff supply the needed stately back
ground The treasures arc Of ana
tiqnity and the Renaissance, with
sculpture playing leading part. An
exhaustive catalogue by Mr. Ernest
Govett, Miss Stella Rubinaten ard
Professor Arduino Colasanti describes
body of nearly four hundred objects.
One is in the atmosphere Of the
classics. 1t is remote, beautiful and
embodies the steadying influence to
which it is always desirable to return
from time to time under the pressure
of modern things.
Beginning in the smaller rooms,
which serve as a kind of introduction
to the main exhibition gallery, the col
lection begins also with some of the
earliest chapters in the history of
plastic art. A group of statuettes in
bronze and faience illustrates the
genius of Egypt, enchanting fgurines
recalling the age in which the grand
style was often fused with minute
ness of scale. An important piece in
this section is No. 10, superb royal
bust in rock crystal. The Greek and
Roman bronzes are likewise impress
sive. The Greek statuettes are works
of great beauty, notably the little
archaic Athena (No. 22), but we would
direct attention even more urgently
to the three sculptured disks believed
to have formed part of an Etruscan
chariot and to the magnificent bronze
tripod of the sixth century, bit of
craftsmanship of extraordinary rarity
These things, and the lovely axle head
Of bronze bearing the head of Medusa,
are, indeed, no less rich in pure beauty
than the early Marsyas, say, which
figures more conspicuously among the
Greek bronzes. The antique marbles
make a small but distinguished array
Leading them all is the fourth century
Head of a Poetess" (No. 46), which is
presented as perhaps an idealized por-
trait Of Sappho or Corinna. The idea
Of portraiture is confirmed by the sin
gular tenderness of expression in the
work. 1t is a little miracle of Greek
naturalism, as subtle in feeling, in true
emotional Interpretation, as it is lofty
in style. Its most notable companion
in the Canessa exhibition is a group
of the Three Graces, group akin to
that which travellers in Italy will re-
call from the library at Siena. We
note in this section some fine busts
and two remarkable Graco- Roman re-
liefs, Manads in marble, figures full
OF movement and grace.
Around these larger objects there are
placed any number of nominally minor

The Grolier Clubs show of etehings
and Autographs by Manet is a modest
affair, having an historical interest out
of proportion to its scale. This perfect
little collection serves to illustrate at
full length memorable aspect of
great talent. From the point of view
of pure etching it is not, perhaps,
extraordinarily important. Manet never
used the needle with the authority Of
the brush. He never was fully init
ated into its genius. Line was not to
him medium of expression cultivated
for its own sake and developed to a
point of brilliance which would have
made him denizen of the same world,
say, with Whistler That master, in
deed, could not merely have taught him
much as to the intrinsic magic of line,
but could have opened his eyes where
they most needed opening. He did not
comprehend the great law of the
etcher's being the law of omission. In
TYPOGRAPHY, too, he showed that he
could not draw as he could draw with
the brush. But he was Manet, which
is to say that he was an artist with
rude power that could be, on occasion.
magnificent, and the rich personal
quality which distinguishes his paint
ings is Enthusiastically felt in his prints.
This exhibition is one of intimate.
thoroughly characteristic souvenirs.
They are not the records of master at
his best. But they are records of a
master, fragments in which we take de-
light not because they are great or
beautiful, but because they are his.
