from the letters of the late Rex Stink
ard Sl!nkard was a poetic young
painter who was sensitively alive when
he was alive and whose posthumous ex-
hibitlon in the Knoedler Galleries
aroused, quick emotion in certain
quarters.
Writing from California ranch to
his fiangee. he said
THE NGreat Ones are covered with

DAVIES LITHOGRAPHS.

All that is incontestable in the art OF
Arthur b. Davies is to be found I'm the
collection of his Autographs. aquatints
and water coIors. now being shown In
the galleries of T. Weyhe. There al
ways has been the freshness OF the nrst
things in his work--Garden OF Eden
effects-but the tired Adams and Ewes
of the present day have had such asus"
matte vision thai they have not always
rercevea IT, Seeing, like many other
faculties. becomes largely a habit. in the
aged and many Of our hammered anna
teurs used 10 laugh at Mr.. Davies's
pristine landscapes with little children
or nymphs In them who seemed to nave
stepped right out OF poetry into tho
pictures.
But the drawings for these nymphs
and children. when shown later, We're
not put upon the same trial, but were
accepted at once. Many VINO got INTO
the Garden of Eden at the eleventh hour
got there by way of these drawings NV
Davies does not search for the mood IN
the drawings-evidently the drawings
are born of the mood-they are All
mood. 1t seems not to be possible for
him to stop with one figure on the
papcr--one figure to him looks unoear-
ably lonely--so he allows others TO romp
into the composition--for ii becomes one
and all TO antique mvsic. Mr.. Davies's
nymphs never shake \ limb to anything
nearer the present day than Mozart
The autographs and aquatints have
all the qualities of the drawings. In
some OF the Autographs the artist has
been experimenting washing his effects
i'm with a brush instead of using the
irne-honored crayon. and the conscious
ness of wadng in where the classics had
never dared to tread spurred him on to
extra vivacities. One of the compost
tions Is very typical of its maker
sprawling mass of maidens flung pell
NELL to earth. as though some Gulliver
giant had spilled them from Brobdig-
nagian cornucopia. But each of these
maidens is like a flower SO who can
regret the artists prodgality? The
watercolors are In the same class, and
many of them are studies for the litho-
graphs They sparkle with color, are
suggestive OF all sorts of poetic things,
and In short, are lovely.

got.
The controversy came TO climax a.
special meeting of the Architectural
League, at which Mr.. Barney met all
comers. While professional and good
humored the debate was extremely
virile and satirical. The meeting was
supposed to be strictly private. with the
public excluded, but a reporter got n
by accident, the quarrel found its way
into the newspapers pamphlets Were
printed and the resulting agitation d!d
mucn to correct the evil which Mr.. Bar
ney assailed.
Though few years ahtRd of his time
Mr. Barney proved TO be extremely
level headed in his architectural "icon-
oclasm," and the art world will await
with much interest to see what tack he
has taken in painting Good draughts-
manship will be a matter of course, but
what else? Especially is this interesting
i'm view of the fact that Mr.. Barney has
given up architecture and declared that
heneeforth his chosen profession is that
of an artist.

If there Is any one in America who

which Slinkard writes. don't know him:
Other contributors are Wallace Gould,
Nina 10y and Marsden Hartley. Among

ter of the universe here. We seek only
contact with the local conditions which
confront us We believe that in the
perfection of that contact is the begin
ming not only of the concept OF art
among us but the key to the technique

so important that IL ought to be printed

SMITH PORTRAIT OF "wASS.' y

Albert belmont Smith, who is show
ing a collection of portraits in the Mich
{ (aileries, was pupil OF the late William
NJ. Chase, but has been away from the
teaching long enough to have dropped
all the mannerisms he acquired In the
atelier In one portrait, that OF "Wass,
the Scotchman," which Is much his best,
he achieves work that would not have
disgraced his master, but in none OF the
others is there much authority. As an
artist he Is at least at ease and paints
freely and with acceptable color. There
is not n single trace OF the triokiness
that was always at the tips Of Chase's
brushes and he lacks the tact or instinct
that Keeps an artist from exposing his
weak points to the public. ! can't say
that Chase was consummae master
OF drawing. but at least ie knew, among
other things. how to place feet upon the
ground and how to get the relationship
in perspective when there were several
figures IN the group.
If Mr.. Smiths "Wass' Is among his
latest works. and represents the style
toward which he Is working, then he is
to he congra tulated and his future will
be looked forward to oxpectantly. To
be sure, Wass han every advantage over
the moadaine sitters who happened into
Mr. Smiths studio. for he had a truly
picturesque costume and the nonclyal-
ance that goes with IT,. The tailorma dc
mon and women of the polite world OF
to-day are poor material for an artist.
for none Of them knows how to dress.

ny HENRY MCBRIDE.

II L is without any fatuously senti-
mental wish to insist that the
darkest cloud has rs silver lining
that I draw attention TO the one en-
the continual additions that are being
made to the family of native art pub
lications. The newest baby in the
bunch is called Contact, and 1T is edited
by William Carlos Williams and Rob-
ert Nj. McAlmon. 1t was born appar-
emily into a very poor family-its
swaddling clothes are of the most
ehabby--its papa and mamma cannot
even afford types for it and it is issued
by some manifolding process, but 1t is
n wilful. lusty infant for all that and
there is something imperial in its out
cries.
William Carlos Williams is a poet
who stands in we'll with the newer
artists. Marsden Hartley thinks he is
all right, and one OF the queerest of the
water colors in Charles Demuths exhi-
bition in the Daniel Gallery was dedi-
Gated to him. His poems in recent
Didls have disclosed that he has a
pretty wit and limpid feeling for the
use of words. There is a short one
in the first number of Contact that is
quite nice and sufficiently vindicates
the claim that he is an artist.
The title page is odd The following
sentence is printed upon it: :. art

formation-cultured people without
