The flag pictures of Mr.. Childe Has
sam are again on exhibition, this time
in the parish house Of the Church Of
the Ascension, - West Eleventh Street.
These pictures constitute an cxtraordi-
narily full record of our "Avenue of
the Allies" 1t is as a record that this
body of paintings is chiefly to be val
ued. Mr.. Hassam seized at once upon
the historical significance of the spec
tacle presented by Fifth Avenue when
1t began to take on its panoply of ban
nors He has always been skilful
interpreter Of street scenes. and his
feeling for color was naturally stimu-
lated by the Kaleidoscope of bunting
thrown to the winds. Unfortunately for
him. as we noted at the time of the
earlier show, this mass of color did not
Of itself split up into particularly pic
torial episodes. 1t was as a mass too
heterogeneous, too crowded, and he did
not mend matters by studying his flags
in repose rather than whipped about
by the breeze. A certain movement,
certain Cayety, would appear to be es-
sential to the fullest exploitation of
theme of the kind We recall some
sketches by Helleu, trimming over with
flags. The latter were all a-futter.

A Group of Fifteen
American Painters

Fifteen artists, all Of them save one
active to-day, are represented in the
current show at the Macbeth Gallery.
The late William N. Chascs Girl in

canvas of which we do not know the
date but which we are inclined to as
sociate with one Of his sojourns in
Madrid. The pose, which is a triae

to the influence of NeasQuez The

Their flashing liveliness was what won

For once, too, Mr.. lIassam has drawn
but slenderly upon the luminous key
usually characteristic of him. His flags
hang in a kind of gray stiffness. On
the other hand, this has permitted him
to give national emblem every ounce
Of It's historical value. This series of
paintings might be described as a rec
ord in which the Allies make their un-
mistakabe salutes. Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Greece, Brazil or

An Exhibition in Memory Of
Frederic Crowninshield

1t is about ten years since Frederic
Crownin hie,d brought to end his pro-
fessional activities IN this city. He
went to Rome to serve as director of
the American Academy there. and at
the close OF his administration took
up his residence at Taormina. He
died at Capri in the carly autumn Of
ranged by his friends in Stockbridgc,
the town with which he had long been
identified, last August, and the colcc-
ton of his works then exhibited has
now been enlarged and placed on view
in the Brooklyn Museum. 1t is later to
be shown in Rochester, Buffalo, Gin
cinnaN and other cities. Such tribute
vas deserved and is to be welcomed
by every one who remembers and APP
prociates his work as decorative
artist. lie was chiefly distinguished as
designer OF stained glass windows,
but he did some capable mural paint
ings, and to the pictorial excursions
which his decorative occupations linn
turned with enthusiasm in his later
years. The Brooklyn exhibition illus
trates all the phases of his art.
The cartoons for windows reveal his
central instinct, that for monu-
mental treatment Of form. He had the
architectural sense. His groups have
simplicity and dignity. The individual
figures are imposing. As painter of
landscape he was a sincere naturalistic
student, recording his Impressions of
wooded scenes in the Berkshires with a
beguihNg veracity. His autumnal sub
lects are especially good But it was
m ltaly that his feeling for landscape
had on the whole most effective play.
There he could make use Of some Of
the elements OF his decorative work.
The cypress. the stone pine and the
olive tree stimulated his passion for
design. There was always, too, the
presence Of architectural monuments
10 enkindle him, and tho influence of
tradition in the very air to bring out
his best efforts. He painted in oils
and in water colors, particularly in the
latter medium. He was not q brilliant
techntclan, but be knew his instrument
and had something like rapture for his
theme. The result was mass of work
freigbted with the true spirit Of Italy,
the scnsuous beauty of its glitterine
shores, the ancient yet ever vernal
charm of It's villas, the romance of its
ruins. The exhibition under review is
OF value as showing US what he did.
1t counts even more as recalling the
delicate. imaginative trend Of his emo
lions. the iervor and fidelity Of his
response TO the beauty Of ltaly's past
and present

There are craftsmen in the history
of art who invest with something like
grandeur everything they touch men
like Michael Angelo, Daumier and Mil
let. Mr.. Robinson's accent is akin to
theirs. IN the rather disjointed, ca
PRECIOUS movement of his pictorial
habit he belongs, rather. to the line
Of William Blake Like Blake he has
his happy moments. Witness the SOM
Der beauty Of his "St. Christopher"
pinned nature OF Blake's inventive fac
ulty. The important point, however.
is that he draws in the same world
with such artists as Blake and Dau-
mier. seeing and feeling in ways Of
his own, expressing emotions that are
onerglzed by character, and eainins,
thereby that which is most precious of
all in srt. the stamp OF style. Form as
he draws it takes on a new and arrest

too fine and serious for that. But it
