New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

IN the matter Of light and color and
rendered more supple by heightened
lndlvidualism. The mass of which we
are now speaking is representative
more of talent in transition than of
talent that has defnitively arrived.
Reference to the Partisan scene bv
Raffaelli will illuminate the point. Per-
sonality as rich as his does not often
come to the surface. 1t is not so much
the note Of character as the note of
sincere but modest craftsmanship
which is proclaimed In the paintings of
average merit in the exhibition. These
are paintings like the snowy scenes of
Giraude de Scevola, Leon Felix, lie
Sidaner and Nine. Grix, the pleasant
landscapes of Joseph Medi, Henri De-
zlre, Juanes, Henri Morisset and M.
Chabas, Hanicotte's diverting moderni-
zatlon of a subject of Breughel's.
Winter Holland" the romantic "Sa-
lome' Of Marcel Beronneau, more or
less IN the manner of Gustave Moreau,
and the clever "Picnic" of CASTOR Ba-
lande. If there is nothing sensational
in all this work there is, on the other
hand, simplicity of feeling which is
perhaps the best evidence of current
conditions in French painting. The
war has called forth no portents in the
school. But neither has it weakened
the ancient loyalty to honest workman
ship.
Looming above everything at which
we have glanced in the exhibition, and
detaching itself somehow from all con-
siderations of technique and the like,
is Besnard's huge portrait of Cardinal
Mercier, in which the great churchman
stands beneath the shadow of the cruel
fed Christ and bears upon his shoul-
ders dramatic burden imposed by
that cruel confagration which is indi-
Gated in the background 1t is impos-
sible to dwell on this as a mere piece
OF painting One does so for a
moment, irresistibly concerned over
the treatment of the head, which is
almost overwhelmed by the bulk given
to other details in the composition. We
wish the Cardinals personality had
been given greater salence. But we
end by thinking only Of the historic
moment in International history which
the portrait commentaries. This is
the key to the entire exhibition. We
may linger before one picture or an
other, but what, above all, we value is
the sentiment of friendship with
France for which the whole collection
stands.

E0ENI FRENCH AND AMERICAN PAINTINGS

by Edith c. Phelps, to the charming
Mary" Of Murray c. Bewley and to
divers others. These paintings that We
cite are in the category of average,
clever things. There are further ex-
amples in which skillful technique and
decorative taste are enhanced by some
special note of personal force. Mr..
Leon Kroll, in his two portraits-one
Of them, "The Song" study of a
group Of musicians-1s an excellent
type Of the artist with study accent
Of his own. Another is Mr.. Maurice
Fromkes, whose "Meadow Sweet" apart
from its interest as a good portrait of
child, is particularly successful har-
mony in rose and gold. In very diff
ferent vein, arresting by virtue Of its
vigorous brushwork, is the Sleeping
Baby" by J. F. Folinsbee.
At the head of all the pictures and
portraits in which deft workmanship
is wreaked upon distinctly decorative
motives stands the large PORTRAIT
Group" by Charles W. Hawthorne. The
flaming orange dress of the central
figure was a hard problem to tackle,
but >his artist has handled it with
unruffled aplomb. He gets, without
any violent passages at all. his uncom
monty emphatic effect, and then, in
the heads, he gives US all the tender
ness of expression which is perhaps
his best resource. Mr.. Hassam is not
persuasive this year in his studio in
terror, "The New York Winter Win
dow" The picture is put together
with his usual adroitness, but it is
dull in tone, strangely dispirited
piece of work for him. Mr.. c. C.
Cooper, whose name we associate with
studies of skyscrapers, surprisingly
comes forward in his Summer" as
the painter Of the kind of picture made
popular by Richard Miller and F. c.
Frieseke. 1t Is dashingly done-and
very superficial in it's gay appeal.
There are few nudes shown, but they
are of no Importance. Mr.. Philip L.
Hale has attempted a most romantic
conception in his FLOWERS in Moon
light" but has not brought to the
painting of this huge canvas either the
feeling or the technical power which

The Characteristics of
The Rank and File

Is it, on the other hand, still faith
full to the conventions Of the Salon ?
The question is difficult to answer. M.
Henry Caro-Delvaille contributes can
vas, the "Black Hair" which revives
the very essence of the mmemorial
Salon. We recall his Bruno" of many
years ago, nude of the same sort,
gaining, like this one, in pictorial ef-
feet from the introduction of a mir
ror. From the later painting it would
seem that the artists talent had stood
still AS a matter of fact, we know
came to this country few years ago
that M. Caro-Delvaille has wider am
bitions. He gives us no conclusive
answer to our question. Elsewhere we
encounter the Salonnier repeating, af-
ter the habit Of the Salon, his typical
effect. NJ Lucien Simon, NJ. Charles
Cottet, NJ. Rene Menard, NJ. Levy
Dhurmer, NJ. Henri Martin-all do once
more what they have all been doing for
a long time. The only difference on
! tHlS OCCASION is IHdt HeltNeT tNeSe
painters nor any others bring into
view the familiar Salon "machines.'
The drift everywhere is more casual
more intimate. than that. Yet even
with their exceptional informality the
men just cited are hardly the men to
clear up our problems. They have been
painting for years. The final test
comes in the work Of the rank and file
the painters who are generally un-
known here.
The most interesting thing about
this group is its freedom from the
freakishness which has of late years
threatened to overrun European art
Some faint signs there are, it is true
that the influence of Cezanne has not
been neglected. Witness the mildly in
teresting "Oranges" of FRANCOIS Jour
dain. There is a certain advanced
accent, too, upon the audaciously paint
| ed picture Of "The Sea" by Auguste
Matisse and the bold Still Life" BY
Pierre La Prade. For the rest the
methods in favor in the Triennale
would seem 70 be the more conserva
tive methods Of the modern French
school, reinforced by livelier feeling

Tor some years past, faithful to familiar
conventions, but freely tempered by
work whose admission points to lib
eral policy. We do. not recall any of
the secessionists with a a sense of ir-
reparable loss, and the best of them
would fall quite comfortably into the
ensemble here organized. It is a pleas
ant ensemble. The hanging committee
has done its work we'll. Under excel
lent auspices the Academy enters into
friendly rivalry with the Frenchmen at
the Museum.
1t is interesting to note that in ideas
the painters in both places move along
much the same lines. Imaginative art,
for example, is as. rare here as it is
abroad. The French exhibition has NJ
Beronneau's "Salome" The Academy
is confined to the Pegasus" of Mr.
Karl Anderson, a promising design,
charming in tone, but curiously want
ing in the poetic fervor which one ex-
poets with the theme. The sole hint
of true imaginative emotion in the
show is offered in Mr.. Abraham Harrl-
toms rather feebly painted LA Belle
Dame sans Merci." He is as Indifferent
as Ryder to the niceties Of technique,
but, like Ryder, whom he suggests, he
has a winning, dreamiike quality. In
this matter of ideas there is one group
at the Academy which attracts by what
it is trying to do and disappoints in
the character Of its achievements. This
is the group devoted to the illustration
of Indian life, the group composed of
Walter Ufer, Victor Higgins, E. l.
Blumenschein and E. I. Couse. All the
members of it are sincere, we'll trained
craftsmen. They give the fullest value
to the color typical Of the life they de-
pict. But, for some mysterious reason
they remain singularly matter-of- fact
If there is any artistic inspiration in
the Indian and his ways, they miss il
on this occasion. Perhaps it is because
in their fear of romanticising the rec
man they go to IAN extreme of realistic
Interpretation and are Photographic
where one wants them to be individual
lied. Mr.. Gilbert Gaul is not by any
means subtle painter, but in his en-.
campment scene, Sioux Indians" ne
is at least on the right track; he drives
at a picture rather than at a poster
The issue here raised Is, OF course, the
one with which all the exhibitors, i'm
aginatve or not, are closely concerned
In American art, as In French, the
man who detaches himself from the
rush is the man who paints in way OF
his own, and in New York, as in Paris
at the present day, this is generally
lust question Of manipulation OF
pigment. There we touch an exhlla-
rating level of accomplishment. There
is decorative portrait on the thres-
hold of the Academy show, The
Feather Fam by Mr.. Edmund Grea-
con. which is delightful in itself and a
work of good augury into the bargain
In it's lightness and grace, in its dainti-
ness, this suave arrangement of quiet
luminous tones is illustrative of kind
of talent often manifested on the
walls. 1t points the way to generous
company of agreeable canvases, to the
engaging Jeanne" by Louise Heustis

The Younger Painters
OF Modern France


The exhibition Of French art at the
Metropolitan Museum constitutes one
more Of those sympathetic gestures
which have served to confirm in peace
the spiritual alliance entered into on
the battlefield. 1t has been organized
under the auspices of the French gov
ernment. In it we may be said to re-
cetve an official expression of good
will. The French never do anything
by halves. They invited US to show a
collection Of American paintings and
sculptures in tho Luxembourg and
now, with the same generosity, they
send US collection of their own. How
-his was formed NJ Leonce Benedite
explains in a preface to the museum
catalogue. The old ties between the
French school and our own were re-
membered. He calls the American
school virtually child Of the
French" But it was not proposed to
illustrate the teachers by whose ideas
we prohted from the '70s for a period
of twenty-odd years. 1t seemed wiser
and more opposite to make known here
younger generation, "those who were
born at the end of the nineteenth CEN
tury and who have inaugurated what
one may call modern art"
1t appears that it was from the
American committee organized to
launch the LuXem bourg show that there
emanated the idea to put its Metropo!i-
tan equivalent in the hands of "La
Trlennale. This is the young society
formed during the war, which unites in
its membership men from the Artistes

brighter than it found it. 1t is a long
