The Unity of Three
Differing Artists

1t is an uncommonly good exhibition
that is current at the Knoedler gallery,
one composed of paintings by George
Bellows, Hayes Miller and Albert
Steiner. They all speak different
idioms and they are united in the right
kind Of independence. Mr.. Miller is
the leading exemplsr of that beauty
on which, in season and out of season,
We would always lay stress. He is the
very antithesis Of Mr.. Luks. He would
not splash paint around il he could.
His method is, indeed, so subtle, his
mode OF approach is 50 delicate, that
he falls upon something like manner
ISM Nature as he studies her is
clothed in but one garment of tone,
which he rcproduces in soft greys and
greens that very nearly become cloying.
One rejoices in his quiet kew when it
gives us landscape like the lovely

of the studio, and one wishes he would

A Type of
Ambiguous Veracity

There are some pictures by Mr..
George Luks at the Kraushaar gallery.
He is a perfect representative Of a
certain kind Of artistic independence.
He paints, We should say, TO please
himself, and there is no mistakiug the
fact that he understands his craft-so
far as he goes. We see him, too, as R
man with an unaffected feeling for ma :
ture, responsive to the appeal she
makes in her rougher cruder moodA.
These pictures are mostly souvenirs
Of Nova Scotian trout streams, q world
Of tumbling waters, keen winds and 4
srortsman's active life. There is zest
in the subject and there is zest in Mr..
Luks's impression of it. For sheer
gusto it would be hard to beat the

of America He worked with Saint
Gaudens, but he has been a disciple,
not an imitator, Of that master. He
has been aware, like all the artists of
our time, of the seductive modelling of
Rodin, but appreciation of it has never
lured him into the treatment of marble
as so much whipped cream. The spe-
cial mark of his work has been an or
ganic constructiveness His reliefs are
often delightfully."- subtle Witness the
beautiful portrait of child, the
"Horatio Hathaway Brewster and the
frame full of plaques and medallions.
But in these, and even more in his
busts, his alertness for structural truth
is manifest. 1t declares itself beneath
the thin wells of such poetic heads as
the "Melisande" or the Mask" 1t is
present in the more realistic, more OBJ
viously picturesque busts, like the "Old
Italian" the Roosevelt" the Indian
head called white Eagle" 1t lends a
tingling vitality to the more conven-
tonal portraits, such as the "Charles
Dana Gibson"
He sees into character, and as he
manipulates the clay there is a thor
oughgoing rectitude about his technical
habit. He is the sound workman, as
well as the thoughtful, sympathetic
analyst. There are moments in this
show in which one seems to stray into
the mood of Mino da Fesole and the
Renaissance, the mood in which. marble
or bronze takes on a f1owerIike light
ness and grace. But Mr.. Fraser re-
mains an intensely American and con
temporaneous artist There is some
thing sturdy about his fneness. some
thing wholesome about his subtlety
If he enjoys commanding rank o-day
it is because he invests truth with
beauty in a strong, characterful and
knowledgeable manner. The observer
kindles to his sincerity and his author
ity over his stubborn materials

broad, vigorous notes like SO many
anecdotes of a fishing trip in which he
has taken immense delight. And yet
we find something ambiguous about his
veracity.
What troubles US is that we would
like to see the fisherman more per-
suasively doubled with the artist 1t
is good thing to see the facts so pow
erfully stated. But was it impossible
was it undesirable, to endue them with
charm, the charm that flows from pig
ment sensitively handled? Mr.. Luks
paints by main strength. Look at his
two or three portraits of children. In
one of them, the quaint "L4ollipops, -
there are some tones which suggest an
unwonted suavity. But in general he
paints child as he might paint coal
HEAVIER, as he actually paints the trap
per, "Pat Lacey" with a stroke that
hints not so much of hand as it does
of fist. And the impact, on canvas, is
not alone brutal-it is ugly. Halls had
the strength of a triphammer. But
he welded it with an incredible deli
cacy. Mr.. Luks allows his indifference
to the chalm of paint to infect his
view of nature. This is not always
faithful to the fact. Some of his rocks
look like meaningless chunks Of lead
His independence has the virtue OF
sincerity, and it is supported by gen
uine talent. But not all his stone
breaking virtuosty can conceal the
fact that the instinct for beauty has
been left out of his cosmos.

like has already been indicated in the
letter from Mr.. Walter Pach, which was
touched upon in these columns last
Sunday. 1t will be show assuming

the market is flooded with various
grades of clothes, good, bad and in

policy 10 buy inferior clothes, and
represent them to the public as of
the better grade. He bought his goods
very early and fortunately is able to
get them to DEBORAH now. and some

fact Mr.. Bear emphasizes is that he
pays NO middleman's profit, and con-
