AMERICAN AUTOGRAPHS
AT PUBLIC LIBRARY

Last spring the New York Public
Library gave emphatic evidence of its
desire to serve the cause of American
graphic art by arranging an exhibition
of contemporary American etcnins--
Now the same thing has been done for
the native lithographers--the exhibition
to stay on until January 10. In relation
to the exhibition library bulletin says:
IF photography has not been adopted
by artists as a medium for direct ex-
preston to the same extent as etching
that is all the more reason for reviewing

Perhaps photography has played some
what the role of stepchtid beside
etching. 1t has been to many almost
synonymous with purely commercial
undertakings. And yet this process Is
peculiarly one for the artist, one in
which he can find sensitive response
to his mood
of this art Ia always again apparent
when one looks over an exhibition such
as this. 1t Is most directly obvious
through the great variety of technical
possibilities crayon, pen and INK,
washes. grained tones. scraped lights.
And there is a range OF tones from the
most delicate silvery grays TO the deep

In this variety of opportunity lies the
possibility of response TO every tempera-
ment that may seek expression.

INDEPENDENTS TO
EXHIBIT IN FEBRUARY

The Society of Independent Artists
announces the holding of its fifth an
nual exhibition. to open February 26, In
the roof garden Of the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel. The exhibition will be open as
usual to all artists, without selection OF
works by a jury and without the dis
tinction made by prizes.
Last years exhibition. the society
announces, was the first to make a
complete financial success, not only hav-
ing avoided the deficit incurred during
each of the three preceding years. but
having left a substantial surplus in the
treasury. This sum has been added to
by persons DESTROYS of aiding the de-
velopment of art in America, and the
directors are thereby enabled to reduce
the dues of members. Three other en-
couraging facts may be noted the mem
bership of the society grew in 1920 by
over one-fourth, the attendance AT the
exhibition more than doubled that of the
preceding year and the sales Of paint
ing and sculpture were considerably In
creased.
THE progress here noted makes 1t ex-
tremely probable that the number of ex-
hibitors for the coming year Will be a
large one. The Society of Independent
Artists is the only body in America that
conducts exhibitions solely on the prin-
ciple OF giving every individual a chance
to present his ideas through his work
The support Of the society during the
past four years by artists in every Sec

cal to the most conservative, from the

TIME chief event of prediction
week in the art galleries has
- been the showing of the Boutet
de Monvel drawings and paintings at
Kingore's. The illustrations for the
Life Of Jeanne dare" are known to
all and sundry, and there is no new
thing to be said of them at this time
save that the inclusion in the present
exhibition of Boutet de Monvels early
paintings emphasizes how much his
fame depended upon the finding of a
lucky subject.
For certainly he could not have
hoped for much general notice for his
Cabanel-like early work.

phistication that Boutet de Monvel
went TO SO much pains to acquire is
less in evidence.
Boutet de Monvel succeeded with
children by fiattering them at their

to be observed is that at the period in

be freed from all the problems of money

most required opportunity to assume

clamored most loudly for wholly I'M

Had to Sacrifice individuality.
1t will be answered that every one of
the masters named had to sacrifice his
individuality In writing Prix de Rome
music. Yet every one of them profted
by the bounty. Berlioz was so unhappy
that after two years away from Paris
he begged for liberty to return. He

Spring From Liberated Spirit.


These things are not the outcome OF
| scholastic application. They spring from
the liberated spirit. working out its own
mission in accordance with its own laws.
One may say that Berlioz would have
been Berlioz no matter whether he
dwelt for time in the Villa Medici or
In a Partisan tenement. But ii is GER
tain that the daily vexations of a pris-
oned and regulated existence, the mex
orable demands Of conventions, would
have left on the character of the famous
Frenchman marks which his Italian ex-
periences never could have craven.
A young American composer entering
into the life of the American Academy
In Rome might not perhaps derive from
It all that Berlioz got from the French
Academy: but 1t would be impossible for
him to escape the operation OF benefit
cial influences. II there were nothing
else, the contact of minds as young as
his own. eager, searching. fearless intel
LICENCES delving into the secrets OF
painting, architecture and other arts,
would constitute splendid stimulus.
Musicians are prone to narrowness
Men who write about music fall into
some resemblance of this curious sim
gleness Of eve. James Huneker has to
paw for his versatility by finding him
self underestimate by the purely mu-
steal mind. But the musician who sets
tut to be a composer ought to have an
outlook as broad as the human mind.
He should adopt as his motto. "Nihil
humanum mihi alienum."
1t is not so much knowledge he needs
as wisdom. All human experience is his
field. The old assertion that music is
the language of the emotions has a GER
tain basis. Music affects the emotions
quite frequently. at any rate, and In It's
latest development into a representative
art II has been forced by some straining
OF it's nature to become medium Of
expression not far removed from poetry
itself.
A composer who sleeps his soul In the
spirit OF the italian cinque cento and
then battles It in the foamy waters OF
the italian present will gain much, but
he will obtain an equal benefit from the
continual irritation OF his mentality by
the restlessness OF other young. minds
around him. The American Academy In
Rome should be an admirable place OF
resort for the young musician. But OF
course like everything else. the plan OF
the academy will cost money. When the
necessary sum has been raised there will
be brilliant opportunity for some bud
ding American musical genius.
