lowed Mr.. Calders example they would
rob the designation of all its horror
But he is the only member of the com
pany at the Bourgeois gallery who
moves us to this observation.
The exhibitors in general are not, we
repeat, as eccentric as their brethren
in paint. There are, in fact, virtues
of expressiveness in the bronzes of
Mr.. Cecil B. Howard, and clever traits
in Mr.. Arthur Lees nude "Gerda," as
there are in the animal subjects by
Miss Grace NJ. Johnson and Mr.. Hunt
Diederich. But there is too much in
the exhibition of the straining after
effect which is most startlingly signal
lied in the lumpy nudes Of Mr. CASTOR
Lachaise and their chunky companions
by Miss Florence G. Lucius. Modern
ism as freakish tour de force is no
more ingratiatng in sculpture than it
is in painting.

Moicrnisi Sculpture

At the Bourgeois gallery There rs an
exhibition Of sculpture akin to that Of
painting a, the Montross cutlery, which
we traVcrscd last week. That is to
say, the contributors arc mostly "ad-
vanccd" types, bent upon expressing
Themselves in their own way. There
is, however, difference to be noted
Except for Mr.. Robert Laurent, who
carvcs two pieces Of wood into grace

labels them "Flnlnes" and "Eclesion, d"
those extremists are careful not TO be
too extreme. They arc willing, for one
thing, that sculpture should look more
or less like sculpture. In one case,
indeed and it is the most interesting
in the show We have TO reckon not so
much with n man Of "ncW ideas as
with a man who has permitted himself
some liberties which he does not ord;-
narlly take with his art The result
is delightful. This sancly adventurous
sculptor Is Mr. Stirling Calder
The admirable work by which he has
long been known has about it the ataid

fects Of their qualities. If Duvcncck
know how TO paint he did not know
how to escape from the shadow Of the
old masters, Rembrandt and Halls, who
largely taught him. He took over from
them too much both as regards style
and tonality They cultivated in him
too conhdmg a faith in what Manet
used to call brown sauce Above all
they blinded him to the magic Of light
and ar. He gave Twachtman, as We
noted in this place las Sunday an
invaluable training, but tho Younger

Duvencck left of Twachtman really

which we reproduce from another
source. Forain is incompatible for the
delicate artistic charm which he adds
TO his prodigious simplicity
Steinlon. his companion on this oc-
casion owes the kindred celebrity
which he enjoys to merits which are,
nevertheless of somewhat different
order. His fame has it's roots in the
character of locality. Despite his
essentially Partisan accent, there is
still a kind of universal stamp upon
foraln; his style is so brilliant as to
range him apart from school or a
period Stcinlen has never been so
much the master of his surroundings.
indeed, his environment has in a sense
mastered him. lie is the craftsman,
specifically, Of Montmartre, the picto-
rial laureate of a clearly marked part
Of Paris, the Interpreter of its types,
ITS movement its atmosphere. Whore
foraln is the Balzac of the whole
Comodie H1nNaine, Steinlen is the Bal
FAC Of single neighborhood 1t
IS true that with so many Frenchmen
he has been lifted by the war into
larger and purer air. His military sub
Jects show this. His poilu is no mere
Nontmartrois, but has grave pathos,
nay. a grandeur. of which previously
we had not known Stcinlen to be capa-
bic. But the characteristic Stcinlen,
the Steinlen Of long career, is the
man OF local color, of a distinctly
urban picturesQueness, of the humor
of quarter, gay quarter, with its
seamy side constantly showing through
The nature Of his preoccupation has
reacted upon his line, which il not
precisely heavy is at all events want
ing in the rapid, clean-cut elegance
which we recognize in Forain. On the
other hand, it is worthy of Forain in its
original SAVIOR, and in its personal quail
ity there is even an ingredient which
the greater craftsman might envy.
This is q certain human friendliness.
Forain CLEANS like a diamond. and he
is as hard. Beneath his superficial
brutality, the truth-seeking instinct
which leaves him unafraid of ugliness.
there is in Steinlen something like ten
derness Note the gentle sympathy
with which he draws cats and dogs. 1t
helps to explain why his Manufactured
washerwomen, his shabby street sing
ers, the hunger pinched and often dis
sipated types with which he is gen
orally concerned, are never repellent
but. on the contrary, have something
winning about them rorain would
triumph by virtue Of his line alone
steinlen is unimaginable without his
searching, sometimes ruthless, and al
ways intensely human sentiment.

pencd to him. His friends found him

death. and to his pupils in Cincinnati

he was long ago to his "boys' in

were truly "painter-like" in period
during which most American artists

ing paint, as paint, its full value 1t
means the adroit manipulation of paint

such, to take care of itself In this
intelligent and enthusiastic eXploita-
ton OF tochniques which was to dc
more than anything else to recon
struct the American school in the late
seventies and all through the eighties,
Duveneck played compelling part.
Some OF the cloverest men we ever
had, like Chase and Twachtman, re
ceived precious impetus from his infu-
cnce.
He brought to our technique d new
lease of life, set his disciples to think
ing in true painter fashion about prob

mated to the gloriticaton of subject.
When you studied under Duvcncck you
learned anew old secrets of modelling
and brushwork, you became-unless
YOU were a hopeless dufer in which
case he knew how to get rid of you
with neatness and dispatch-an ardent
and skilful craftsmen, rejoicing in
nothing so much as the sheer fascina-
ton of your craft. At the San Fran

The space is limited, but the diminutive
