New Pictures
BY Clever Men

Travellers In France who visit the
Tours district like to recall-especially
in these arid days-tho "via girls" Of
that part Of the world. The phrase
may seem a misnomer, but we have
Paris to prove that there is such a
thing as "gray sunshine" The light
Of Paris is light by itself, cool, even,
and, for pictorial purposes, often an
adorable light. Flung onto canvas
through the lens of the studio, 1t has
been transmitted by too many artists
into a queer Salon phenomenon, but
when its true character is carried into
painted surface it retains all its charm.
This Is the light which fills the paint
ings by Mr.. George Oberteuffer at the
Knoedler gallery. He Is p Philadel-
phian, student Of the late William
M. Chase, who has been living in Paris
for some years. He labored under our
American Red Cross from the time of
this country's entrance into the war,
and we do not know whether the pie
lures he now shows were painted be-
fore he was thus absorbed or since. 1t
is Of no consequence. The main point
is that they are good pictures, with
quality Of life In them which makes
us forgetful Of dates. Mr.. Obertuffer
is an adept in tho matter Of local color.
One or two American scenes here show
how veraciously he handles his sub
ject. In France he gives as it's essence
with peculiarly expert touch. "In
Stevenson's Moret" contains precisely
the greens We expect, and when he
paints 1.-THE Luxembourg Gardens" or
"The Tuileres and tho Louvre" he
paints the portait Of place with that
subtle interpretative power whieh Will
wake "a thousand memories. There are
several pictures In this collection, "The
Yachts at Havre," the mellow "Notrs
Dame and the Three Bridges" and tho

Hunt Diederich' $
Charming Work

There are sometimes very. curious
surprises in art The late William
Norris Hunt is to be reckoned, we sup
pose, as a conservative type. His gen.

Be sure. In Franco he made friends
With Mlllet and the men of his circle,
and when he came back to Boston he
s1erted a potent influence as a mis-
donary for the ideas Of the Barbizon
school. His beautiful and vitalized
work preserved to this day the fame
Of constructive pioneer. But that
work is nothing if not expressive Of a
certain grave naturalism. Now, in a
grandson Of his, Mr.. Hunt Diederich,
: sculptor who exhibits at the Kineore

Paris" which are Immediately capti-
vating because Of the mere skill with
which they are painted. But, If they
begin by making a technical appeal,
they end by giving the pleasure that
goes just with sympathetic realism.
The room at Knoedler's is shared by
the artists wife. She is charming
painter Of flower subjects and of por-
traits Of children. She, too, has an
admirable faculty for color. Between
them they make most engaging ex-
hibition.
At the Mich Gallery there are paint
ings by Mr.. Valentino Molina, a versa
tile artist, who paints the figure draped
and nude, in the studio and out of
doors, and attacks landscape and
flowers with equal facility. He is in
troduced as having an "impassioned
love of light" but unlike a good many
lMministes he used certain wholesome
reserve. There are no glaring effects in
his pictures. The light is, on the con-
trary, judiciously dffused. It counts

knows his business very we'll, making

his presentation of dog character. The
specialist, we imagine, could rely on
hlm IN the matter Of points" For our
own part we are conscious chiefly Of the
artists ability to awaken our sv,n-
pathy for dogs as dogs, and to do it in
an artistic manner. Upstairs at this
gallery there are sculptures by Mr..
Willard Dryden Paddock, a group of
persuasive portraits and some we'll
modelled nudes. The artists decorative
skiil comes out in his charming "Wall
fountain' and in an ingenious "Sun

more proftably in his work than does
his treatment Of form. This, though
adequate enough, is In no wise dis
tiuguished. His interiors with figures
in fact. are quite commonplace. His
nudes painted in the open air, how
ever, not too large In scale, not too am
bilious, have certain grace and 9
pleasant freshness. Those which are
studied under sunlit willow trees are
particularly ingratiating. The Howe,
pieces are handsome, workmanlike pro-
ductions. and one Of them, "Chrys-
anthemums," has exceptionally fine
quality. The landscape, "In the Prov
ince Of Quebec" combines del!cacy and
solidity so we'll that it makes us want
to see more Of Mr.. Molina's work in
this field.

camp as Ernest Lawson and Robert
Henri. 1t is delightful to see again the
formers misty Day in March," pic
ture beautiful in its atmospheric deli
cacy. Mr.. Henri Is as crisp and efficient
as ever in his Indian studies, but it Is
curious that technician so capable
should be so devoid of charm, Kenneth
Hayes Miller has that quality in his
Figures With Landscape" An imagi-
native, romantic note creeps into every
thing he does. Mr.. William Glackens
shows two pictures, both expressive Of
his devotion to the manner Of Renoir.
This later loyalty of his is touching,
butt for the observer, It squeezes his
art dry of all interest.
The art Of the modernists leaves US
equally unsympathetic. Il connotes a
logged self-assertiveness, armored in
more or less ingenious theory, which
arrives anywhere save at the goal of
beauty. To use the old phrase, those
who like this sort of thing will like
this sort Of thing very we'll. We are
cheerfully content to leave it to them.
The preoccupation Of Mr.. Glackens
with another mans characteristic way
OF painting raises an odd question. His
passion for Renoir seems to Us to be
misplaced. It has smothered his nat
ural talent One would infer as
matter Of course that nothing could
be more perilous than this too jealous
sitting at q masters feet. But go
to the Montross gallery and in the
exhibition there, which we traversed q
week ago, look at the early painting
by Mr.. Glackens Of "The Ballet Girl"
That picture was done, we should say,
under the influence of Manet. The
artist was then as emulous Of another
as he is now. But then his disciple
ship was harmless. 1t enabled him. in
deed, to paint strong picture, to paint
it beautifully. And, by the same token,
all instructive talent shows through
the signs Of an external influence. If
Mr.. Glackens must try to play up to
some artist of his admiration it is

The Museum
Fiftieth Year

From the current Bulletin" it is ap-
parent that the public will experience
some rare sensations when it Is admit
ted on Saturday, May s, to the exhi-
bltion at the Metropolitan Museum
commem Grating the fftieth ami
versary of that institution. Private
collectors have loaned their treasures
without stint. In the department of
paintings some threescore examples
have been borrowed. covering all the
schools. The list embraces Botticelli,
Mantegna and Titan, Velasquez and
Holbein Rembrandt and Vermeer. In
the French school the loans range from
Poussin to Degas and Cezanne. In the
large gallery, where the Courbcts were
shown not long ago, there is to be an
extraordinary display Of eighteenth
century French decorative art. IN the
Gothic period there will appear the
great bronze angel which has recently
been brought from Mr.. Morgan's Lon
don house. There will be important
additions to the departments Of Egyp-
tian, classical and Far Eastern art and
to the collection of arms and armor.
The Print Room will furnish forth in
teresting material, and everywhere, in
fact, the Museum Will demonstrate it's
own vitality and the generosity Of its
friends. It was worth while once to
go abroad merely to see special ex-
hibition at the Guildhall, in London,
or collection Of French miniatures in
Paris. AS we look back at those af-
fairs we realize that they were Of mod
est dimensions compared with what our
Museum is now Offering to Justify
travel from Europe as we'll as from all
parts of the United States.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-25


1t Is interesting to hear that one of
the pictures by Victor Charreton, which
we welcomed not long ago at the Du-
densing Gallery, has been acquired for a
public institution. Mr.. Alfred W. Jen-
kins has bought the "Wet Snow and
presented it to the Brooklyn Museum.
A collection having . rather unusual
interest is to appear next Saturday at
the American Art Galleries, where it
will be sold on May S. 1t belongs to
Mr.. Max Williams. and consists. Of
marine prints, oil paintings and models
Of American, British and foreign
ships. Tho illustrated catalogue sug-
gcsts 4 fascinating historical pageant
with such episodes in it as Pocock's
Battle Of the Nile," or Salvador Rosa's
two pictures of the Battle of Lepanto.

A charming little exhibition has been
arranged at the Women's University
Club. Its pleasant quality is due in
part to the good taste with which the
works Of art have been Installed in one
OF the spacious rooms, the clever land
scapes by Miss Ethel Evans and Miss
Julie Morrow being hung as though
they were permanent decorations, and
the sculpture being placed about in the
same informal fashion. The busts and
statuettes are by two or three we'll

McCartan. The fourth contributor has
hitherto been unknown to us, Mr.. Gleb
Deruyinskg. He is a skilful crafts
man Of piquant traits, hitting off pict-
uresque themes with deft elegance.
The Young Sculptors' Society at the
Gorham Gallery, group of thirteen
artists mostly of foreign parentage. if
one may Judge from the names in the
catalogue, leaves decidedly mixed
impression. These exhibitors are gem
orally to be congratulated on fair de-
gree OF technical proficiency. They
model confidently and smoothly, and
when they give their nudes, for ex-
ample, some symbolical significance
they arrive at tolerably fitting terms
of composition. But their ideas are
conventional, and they provoke the
same epithet in matters Of style. Little
else. we dare say, is to be expected of
beginners. But, then, beginners should
hardly seek the test Of a public ex-
hibition.
Mr.. Harry Spiers, who has some
water colors at the Babcock Gallery
uses technique out of which he seems
to knead a good deal Of the freshness
which belongs to his conception of
landscape His masses of rich tone are
worried and harried to the verge of
lifelessness. What remains, however.
is an attractive vein of landscape senti-
ment, colorful romanticism, with
enough individuality in it to make
doubly regretable the artists too close
handling Of his medium.
A cheerful group Of twelve American
Landscapes hangs at the Schwartz gal
lery. Most of the pictures are from
experienced and able hands, pictures
by Ernest Albert, Frank D. Haven, Gull
len Yates, and SO on. There is new
conner, Mr.. J. Olaf Olsen, painter of
"The Harbor." His old boat is capi-
tally drawn and the whole scene is
vividly and cleverly realized
The exhibition which was opened yes
terday at the Anderson Galleries
brought forward the Chinese objects
collected by Mr.. Vassil Krupensky
while Russian Minister in Picking. 1t
comprises carvings, lacquers, silks and
velvets, rugs, porcelains and snuff bot
ties. Associated with these things there
is collection of English and French
watches, set with precious stones. The
