On the Art of Etching

Apropos OF the needle. we NAV note
here the appearance of "Etchers and
Etching" (the Macmillan Company, a
richly illustrated volume in which Mr..
Joseph Pennell helpfully addresses
students of the art. The book is
divided into two parts, and it is in the
second OF these that the author per-
forms a real service. He begins by
framing list of the materials nec-
essary for making an etching. noting
also where most of them can be pro-
cured, and then goes on to illuminate
all the mysteries Of tools, presses, ink
paper and so on, and to clear up meth

fruit of practical experience and arc
so clearly written that they should
prove invaluable to the beginner. H.
Illustrations by the author serve still
further to heighten the usefulness of
his information. For the purposes of
the studio he might we'll have nub.

as a sort Of technical manual. The
truth is that the first part of the
present volume would never have been

Nominally, it embodies survey of

M. Italo Gordani, of Paris, is show

first time in America at the Hotel Bilt-
more. They are we'll worth seeing. At
a glance the first thought inspired by
tho thirty-six canvases is strong i'm
preston of the painters versatility. A
notable feature of his work is his
flower painting, of which "Red Roses"
loaned by Mr.. Caruso, and smaller
painting Of the same flowers, "Pink
Carnations and "Chrysanthemums,"
are among the best examples. But this
is only one phase of his talent. He has
been successful in his treatment of
landscapes, marines and portraits.
M. Giordani seldom uses the brush.
He prefers the knife blade His work,
whatever the subject, is fervent, emo
tional. He has the Latin's passion for
color. "In the Lagune, Venice"
"Canale St. Barnaba, Venice" and
Sunrise" are gorgeous with resplen
dent hues. His landscapes have an ap-
pealing vitality, particularly wood
