cleared his throat. 1t is probable
that in the entire history of the
Museum greater tribute never was
paid to Ruisdaei. We passed on to
the Toilet Of Bathsheba After the
Bath by Rembrandt, and a look of
relief passed across the face of the
attendant.
1t has been said of Ruisdael that
of all Dutch painters he is the one
who resembles his own country most
molly. He has "its amplitude, it's
sadness, its almost gloomy placidity,
It's monotonous and tranquil charm. "
His colors are generally brown and
green, with grayish skies. The
"Wheattielt.s" differs from his usual
pictures, as it is lighted by a streak
of sunlight and the colors are ap-
propriate to that effect.
Dennis did not dance before the
Toilet Of Bathsheba After the
Bath" This famous Rembrandt in
the nude has changed hands dozen
times and was secured by Mr.. Alt
man in Paris in 1913. In Paris, two
years before the Terror, it sold for
$40, or 1920 francs, which shows
what coming Terror will do to the
price Of good picture. In 1913 the
picture sold for 100000 francs.
Bathsheba may be said to be sur
rounded by every luxury with the
exception Of clothes. She is attend

Logic on Art

Dennis fumbled for his pipe; then
recalled that he was in the Museum.
The attenuant in Gallery 12 cleared
his throat, but it was hard to tel,
whether it was the pipe or the
logic that affected him.
'Pedestals were made for paint
ers TO be booted off Of continued

paints it, and all that has gone be-
fore as gold becomes brass. Grass
vas Invariably brown and considered
mighty good grass until Constable
made it look green. The critics
were dubious. Constable laid an
old violin on a country lawn. Are
.hey, he saked, the same color?'
After consultation it was agreed
The violin and the lawn were not
the same color and green grass be-
came permissible"
-. Dennis sighed.

ny an individual to the Museum"
The altman Collection
While the collection contains
paintings. sculptures, crystals.
enamels and other objects, it is the
nrst OF these with which we are at
present concerned. On the north
wall of Gallery / hang five of the
thirteen RembranGts which were
Drought together by MIR. Altman and
"hlch remain as q tribute to his
taste, his pocketbook ard his public
spirtedness.
Rembrandt van Rim was born in
1906, died in 1869 and was buried in
rotter's field, which, according to
Dennls, Is as good a place as any
other for a painter to be buried.
since. in after years, it is almost
certain to rebound in his favor. Ac-
cording to Dennis, nothing so en-
RACES the public as the suspicion that
a painter has made money out of
painting, unless it be a universal
recognition of an artist who bv some
unforeseen mischance is still alive.
But even if Rembrandt had not had
he farsightedness to be buried in
Potter's field he still would have
come first in this chronicle. for it is
his work that dominates the Altman
collection, both in numbers and
quality, as the average Museum WIS.,
itor observes it.
The first Of the Rembrandts is the
"Old Woman Cutting Her Nails"
No more homelv subject could have
been chosen by the late Mr.. van
Rim, and yet into that work he has
put such tremendous force that the
figure Of the gnared old woman
seems ready to writhe from its
frame, and it, by all means, is that
which captures and holds the eye in
Gallery l.
There is a solidity to Rem
h?ardt said Dennis, which, hitting
1t, brings you to a full stop"
Bryson Burroughs, curator of the
Department Of Paintings, refers to
this picture as the "most remarkable
Of all the pictures in the room.
It is an example of Rembrandt's
late time (the date, somewhat
abraded, is 1859; it manifests the
breadth and beauty of his painting
at what seems to us to-day his great
est period, and shows also, to the
full intellectual quality of his time,
the profound insight into human
experience that his work took on
after fortune and popular favor had
passed away from him." Mr.. Bur
roughs has written.
cts fine picture" said Dennis.
"No one would have to know art to
be hit between the eyes by it,"
Next to the old woman is "The
Lady With Pink" This is said to
he portrait Of Rcmbrandt's daugh-
ter-in-law painted when she was
about twenty-seven years old. zone
would say she was nearer forty"
says the handbook. "but Rembrandt
was not always careful to give his
sitters their proper age, as is known
rom several documented cases"

and patron Of the arts from Ant
werp. who lived in Genoa. Gustav
Waagen wrote of the picture: THE
portrait Of an astronomer or mathe-
matician in dark, furred mantle.
The manner in which the figure has
risen from the chair, as if some
sudden circumstance had interrupted
his studies, gives the portrait all
the interest of a historical picture"
Van Dyck painted with plenty Of
elegance. His work invariably sug-
gests the ballroom.
We we're by this time before
"Filippo Archinto, Archbishop of
Milan," by Titan, and, while Dennis
did not dance or uppercut. he threat
ened to do something about it.
ITO me-" said he. that is the
greatest picture in the Metropolitan.
There is in it the most logged force
| ever have seen in q picture. have
been haunted nights by it
Power of suggestion cannot take
root in unsuitable soil. We looked
more closely at "Filippo Arch.nto.
Archbishop of Milan" and granting
that Filippo by reproduction seems
to be fortnight, honorable man
we had to confess that we could see
nothing about it that would De apt
to haunt US.
"At first, probably not. said Den
mis-. ut will grow on you. find
that it has grown on me until now

character, some vital thing that
had missed before"
Dennis sighed. Damn it," ne
snapped.
So we passed on TO "Marraret
Wyatt, Lady Lee" by Hans Holbein
the Younger. Holbein seems to
have anticipated the modern maya
zine cover illustrators and they GER
tainly have taken a page out Of his
book. AS our gaze fell athwart
the picture we fully expected to
see beneath the inscription "Novem-
Der issue, Thirty-Five Cents" There
seems to be very little new under
the painting sun.

CCOMPANlED BY a painte,

~ SO as not to run off the
track, our next step led us
- into the art galleries of the
Metropolitan Museum. These aro
on the second floor. at the head If
the broad stairs, and occupv Soma
three dozen rooms, in each Of which
there is an attendant in blue uni
form.
Dennis, the painter, said the
Metropolitan collection ranks at
least third among those of the
world. Dennis remarked this cas-
nsily, without awe. He was look
ing at King Lear; Act I; Scene l."
by Edwin Austin Abbey, at the time
As painter, Dennis naturally has
his own ideas about painting.
There is too much of Mysteries
in connection with art" said Den
nis. THE average person is given
to understand that there is in paint
ing something that will ever be
beyond his comprehension, some
thing that he must approach on
prayer rug. That's rot. Good
painting is the portrayal Of truth
and is so democratic that both the
honest man and dishonest man NAV
observe it,"

"Meaning-?"
THAT painting is in state Of
constant tiux. Authentic worship
Is difficult thing and for my part
lwould as soon accept the criticism
Of 5oilermaker as gentleman

So we walked over to the Ben

ROAD IMPROVEMENT

III noticed with a great deal of satisfaction that the Woodbridge
road is being improved by building up both sides of the road to a Level
with the permanent pavement.
But as desirable as it is to have the Woodbridge road thus I'M
proved, this work is needed a great deal more on the Metuchen road
so as to atone somewhat for the crime committed In the beginning Tor
building that permanent pavement so narrow. With the pg trucks
that crowd the road today, it is necessary to run with two wheels oil
the pavement, especially at night as it is dangerous to attempt to pass
another and keep O the hard surface. 1t would not be so bad If
the sides were built up level with the pavement itself as is now being
done on the Woodbridge road.
incidentally something ought to be done to get prompt action IN
regard to the road through Fords where a sewer was put down last
year. This road is in a disgraeeful condition at present with no signs
of improvement. A truck was stuck there on Sunday tying up trolley
traffic and interfering with travel generally.
