the Spanish pictures in the interna-
tional section with a view to seeing
how far these two men were represent
ative of the school at large. The COL
lection has now been placed on exhi-
bition at the Anderson Galleries, where
it is to be sold on the evening of May
20, and it revives the same curiosity.
In so far as these seventy-three
paintings reflect the current Spanish
movement they may be said to leave
the latter still in a transitional state.
The ideas illustrated by Sorolla and
zuioaga are apparently in the air, but
do not yet dominate. What persists
most noticeably is the convention of
the Salon, due partly to the Influence
OF France and even more to the curl

artists of a higher grade have arisen.
A justly notable figure in this display
is Elise MeifreL, of Barcelona. "The

three large landscapes, is a superb
piece of impressionism, as airy as it
is spacious, and beautifully composed. |

and ends in the cubistic muddle. But
is it sequence? There are count
less inexplicable omissions, but the
show is announced as illustrating "the
evolution Of French art" and the i'm
plication is that we may accordingly
trace in these productions the march
of certain logical tendencies. Such
an hypothesis holds, however, only in
proportion to the extent to which one
allows himself to be hypnotized by a
phrase. There is no line of descent
connecting Picasso with Ingres.

quilting to follow up, but often lead
to conclusions that. confuse thought

to be demonstrated that the "concep-
tual image" as it is exemplifed in
Cubism has anything to do with art.
AS a study in evolution, then, this
exhibition is not exactly persuasive.

modernists is not from one point to
another in a development of national

Art, too, has it's place in the peace
treaty. When the complete document
is published it may be expected to
contain important articles compelling
reparation on the part of Germany, for
the few details given in the official
summary indicate that the matter has
been gone into in a more than general
way. 1t is specified, for example, that
the destruction of the library of Lou
vain is to be balanced, in a small
measure, by the handing over by
Germany of manuscripts, early printed
books, prints, ETC., equivalent to those
which disappeared in the early trag-
edy of the city. Another provision
convinces us that, after all, sometimes
dreams come true.
Early in the war, when it was first
Jan Van Eyck had been stolen, we ex-
pressed the hope that ultimate indem-
MITIGATION would include the reorgani-
cation in Client Of the great altar piece
for which they were originally paint
ed. Over and over again in these
columns we have dwelt upon this as
the one act of reparation which above
all others was to be desired. The
parts long in the Berlin gallery we're
not stolen, but it has seemed pecu-
liarly fitting that they should never
theless be restored, as symbolizing the
return to their natural abiding places
of uniquely precious souvenirs of the
Flemish genius. The writer's of the
treaty have recognized the validity of
the point, for it is stated that Ger

what painter could thus portray him,
stately in carriage, calm in gesture,
as imposing as monument against a
draped and pillared background? But
then comes the second and more last
ing impression. What statesman, we
ask, would not be glad to go down to
posterity in so simple and dignified
composition? And what artist would
not rejoice if he could recapture some
thing of Stuart's serene authority {?
There you have, in brief, the lesson Of
TINS famous painters career He was
not of the great creative body of art

as he wanted invention. But to the

to lofty purposes, and If he was ex-

atmosphere is that of the court. But
where he resembles the best of them is
in bringing US back to the true spirit

stable aspects of nature, as witness

the object is to make the most of Span

lol's Uncle Tanacha," F. Cabrera Can

amples of this dedication of moder-
ately facile technique to rather super
fetal effects. There is an adroit wa
ter colorist in the company, Constan-
tlno Gomez, whose "Procession at Al
barrin" should be favorably cited. But
there are few who detach themselves
from the background, and this fact is
symptomatic. The school must gain
a little in its repute here from the
exhibition, but only little. In the
absence of a fuller representation we
must continue to believe that modern
Spanish art, if not standing still as in
other years, is not making very great
progress.
The Road From Ingres to Picasso
A collection of moro than two hun

at the Arden gallery forms one of the
dellghtfullest episodes of the season.
The pictures include works which
would constitute "full dress" exhi-

casual studio fragments on the walls
and the final effect is that of some
enthusiasts scrapbook, unfolded page

art from Ingres and Delacroix down to
the Post Impressionists. The sequence

Some Types of Modern Spanish
Painting

There was a time when modern Span
ish art was known in the United States
only through tho glittering legerde-
main of Fortuny and his followers. We
saw little else here, and next to moth
ing was done by the Spaniards at the
Chicago Fair to correct the idea that
their school had been standing still.
That idea, indeed, was only too sadly
justified by the facts. Some years
afterward, when the present writer
looked up the subject at first hand m
Spain, there was nothing save the
dawning vogue of Sorolla to suggest
that the school, frittering away the
impetus received from Fortuny and
Pradilla, was on the way to finding
itself. Then, in more recent years, we
were made unanimously acquainted
with the work of Sorolla, by this time
a sensationally able but much over
rated painter, and after him came the
exhibitions of Zuloaga, another type
worth seeing, but not, on the whole,
the master his partisans proclaim him
to be. In 1915, when the Panama-Pa-

ment he has reinvigorated his art
He was always accomplished, at his
ease, but we had associated a rather
delicate kind of grace with his art.
To-day he is as robust in his crafts
manship as is the life he depicts. His
portraits, mostly of the head and
shoulders type, are modelled with
great boldness and directness. The
brushwork apparently knows no hest
fancy and in color these canvases are
as uncompromising as they are in
handling. The tawny flesh tints, the
reds in a cloak or among the feath-
ers of a headdress, are stated with
force that would be somewhat dis
concerning if Mr.. Rolshoven did not
happen to know how to hold his
schemes together. His most ambitious
design is full length of a Taos chief,
Pablo Suazo, in gorgeous festival
costume of white buckskin. The blaz-
ing white key must have made it ter
ribiy hard to paint without falling
into violence Of tone, but this paint
ing is, as a matter of fact, the mellow
est and finest of all Mr.. Rolshoven's
performances. His work seems to
have gained enormously in body and
in a certain crisp freshness. 1t makes
an inspiriting exhibition.

In the catalogue of an exhibition of
portraits by Gilbert Stuart which has
been opened at the Enrich Gallery we
are reminded of the fact that abroad
he is usually listed among artists of
the English school. There has never
been anything difficult to understand
, in this Interpretation of his status.
He brought back to this country from
London and his pupilage under West
the idiom of the eighteenth century
English school. He never used any
other. 1t would be a great mistake
to allow a patriotic view of the sub
Ject to obscure the truth. BY no proc
ess of reasoning can he be canonzed
as forerunner Of modern American
art in the all-important matter of
style. He is separated from us by de-
velopments in which France has had
far greater influence than England.
On the other hand, he remains the
chief of our pioneers, American by vir-
tue of his fidelity to the temper of his
time in this country, and closely linked
to the masters of our later, dissimilar
modes, by his capacity for one thing
good painting.
There are two impressions to be re-
ceived from the Enrich show. In the
tlrst place, we feel the extreme sobriety
OF its key; we seem to be passing under
the gray light of an academic tradi-
ton, wherein our present-day concep-
ton of portraiture could not but be i'll
at ease. What statesman of the twen-
tieth century could pose after the fash

total 200,0O0,00O bushels, or moro than

for the average annual consumption
in the United States, the report says.
Such production, with a gaarans

"The largest acreage is reported In
Sastern and Central counties. Many
counties have more than doubled their

an Increase Of 232 per cent" "@'
The winter wheat acreage IN Mis-
