EXHIBITIONS OF ART
IN MANY GALLERIES
Mary Cassatt, who abroad ranks
among the Americans next after Whist
Ter and Sargent, Is the artist OF the mo-
ment in the galleries OF Durand Ruel
The collection covers many periods OF
Miss Cassatts long career, with paint
ings. drawings and prints. This artists
chief preoccupation has been the sacred
ness Of the relationship between mother
and children. and Il is safe to say that
no modern has excelled her In tenderness
for this phase OF life.
The "Carcsse Maternelle," for instance
in the present collection is ineffably
moving, and the "ciere ct Enfant." No
IL, is life itself. Influences of the worh
OF other artists are perceptibie in Miss
Cassatts performances, but never to the
suppression of ner own personality.
Degas counted for much 10 Miss Cassatt,
as every one knows, and Rosetti hal
something distantly to do with "L'Enfant
rOrange." Miss Cassatt borrowed
principles and not mannerlsrns from
these masters. Her own outlook upon
life was invariably healthy. Her moth

always loving.
One OF the chief objects Of interest in
the collection OF antiques now being
shown in the galleries OF Ginsburg 81
Levy Is 4 decorated piano. made about
1900 by Muzio Clement & Co, of Lon
don. The piano is OF satinwood and the
decorations have been painted In the
style OF Angelica Kaufman. The firm
that built the piano Is the same firm that
put out the Clement exercises for the
piano. Among the tapestries. the most
important Is an early seventeenth CEN
fury Flemish piece, with an heroic flg-
ure composition ia the. manner Of
Rubens
Among other notable antiques is an
Ntal,an bedstehd In red and gold, with
a ducal emblem among the ornaments,
and datic from the Directoire period
There also Is "a remarkable Indian work
stand. with intricate inlay Of tortoise
shell. mother of pearl, and silver;
Norwegian tankard curiously orna-
mented and a quaint set OF shelves from
an early New England kitchen, laden
with much old pewter.
The immensely popular ctohings OF
d. Y. Cameron are now to be seen
upon the walls of the Philip Suvai CAL
leries. Mr.. Camera Yields the etchers
needle with improbable skill and he puts
out plates that are capable of exquisite
printing. AS mere impressions, some OF
his etchlngs are among the most bril-
liant OF the era, and the era, whatever II
may be in other forms OF art, is by no
means under eclipse when IL comes to
etchings
Some Of the rare plates that Mr.. SUI
val is showing include the Palace
Stirling Castle" and the cathedral In
terror. known as THE Cross. There
also is the view of "Haarlem'' and a
number of the incisive architectural
studies which for intensity of feeling
can be compared only with the work Of
Meryon.
d. 3. Butler & CO. are showing a
collection Of antique decorative paint
ings in their galleries. Among them Ia
big river piece, with a pair of figures
struggling together In the shadow OF
the foreground trees and somewhat IN
the Salvador Rosa manner There IL

and brilliantly colored tropical birds MT

Landscapes. two In the Vatican manner
and an interesting over-mantel OF
Spanish provenance.

but powerful Italian master Segantiri

Segantlnfs manner of applying his paint
is highly personal. and to use the popu-
lar phrase. 'he signs his name all over
the canvas" with every touch Although
not realist pure and simple. he IL not
above realism, and the water IN the
trough from which the animal IN the
picture Is drinking is painted with rare
quality.
Landscapes by w. L. Lathrop Of
New Hope Pa, are on view in the gal.
