gether, most of which are in British
museums. Mr.. Martin Birnbaum, writ
ing q charming introduction to the ex-
hibition under review, gives the good
news that Quaritch is going to make
book out of the whole set. This
fragment of the collection richly in
dicates Its broad nature. When Blake
said that he was "attached TO Dante"
he meant that the poet had fastened
a kind of grip upon his imagination
and then set it afire. There is curious
spiritual glow in these drawings.
They have the artists qualities and
his defects. The latter all center in
his technique. A good way in which
to approach this matter is to turn the
pages of book included in the ex
hbition, DR.. Lippman's volume of re-
productions from the Dante drawings
by Botticelli in the Berlin Museum
The Florentine was trained to his
finger tips and was no more inter
ested in what he had to say than in
his way of saying it. His line is in
trinsically beautiful and he weaves it
into Incompatible designs. Movement
is there, Botticelli's line is always
thrilling with it, but it is adjusted to
something like pattern with an ex-
traordinarily sure touch. Blake is
more the victim of his own emotion.
He. too, has movement and sometimes
it is remarkably impressive. There is
no escaping the fervor Of his accom-
paniment to the text. But his line,
though expressive, hovers constantly
between grandeur and the common
place. The idea springs from his brain
in force, convincing images pour forth
from his contact with Dante's descrip
tions; o nuance Of form, q gesture, will
yst itself recorded as if by magic;
and pressing hard upon some pictorial
felicity will come dull, heavy-handed,
merely prosaic passage. 1t is the same
with the color, which is superb--in
spots.
There is cult for Blake, and 1t is
easy to understand why. There was in
him fitful, murky genius which from
time to time manifested itself in "the
large utterance of the early gods" His
thought was tossed hither and thither
as though by volcanic throes-suthenti
but productive of q good deal of cloudy
obscurity. 1t is important to distin-
guish between his strength and his
weakness. Along with his drawings at
the Scott g. Fowles gallery there is
displayed the volume of Dante draw
ings executed by Flaxman for Thomas
Hope. Beside Blake he was as ice be-
side fame. But how Blake would have
gained IL he had had an infusion of
Flaxman's academic authority, a trace
of his skill in line and in composition!
The zealots forget that. They are con-
scious only of Biakes turbulent power.
They are hardly to be blamed. That
power is compelling. Yet disinterest-
ed conception of the artist will come
nearer to the truth in recognizing the
strange admixture in him of genius
and mediocrity. accomplishment and
naIvete.

when he portrays mother and her
child the sculptor gives them clas-
sical investiture. There is no earthly
modernism clinging to lis ideal. His
Interpretation of life is, IS we have
said, poetized. Also it is energizcd by
the fairly impassioned sense of beauty
which is Mr.. Manship's most important
attribute. He thinks inevitably in
terms of certain grace and loveliness.
Bis faculty for the expression Of move
ment communicates the last touch OF
distinction to his work. Yet with all
these great virtues there are others
missing which we crave the more be-
cause his art is so brilliant. 1t is
rooted in tradition and therefore has
special enchantment for the connois
seur of style, but in his conception of
form MIR. Manship discloses little al
lance with nature. In his style he can
eloquently revive the appeal of archaic
Greek sculpture, but in the process he
smothers his own personality.
Delicate streams of influence have
flowed into his sculpture from the
italian Renaissance. On the present
occasion we see that he has gone even
further back for his inspiration-b back
to that early period in which Greece
was still feeling the pressure Of Egyp-
tian and Eastern ideae. The result is
beautiful. But 1t still leaves US Won
dering what the essential central prin-
ciple Of Paul Manship may be, what he
would do If he also, like the painters
we have been discussing, were to

ent day. But would MIR. Manship, any
more than NJ. Bourdelle. have bsen able
to do 1t without relying heavily on q
convention of the pasti He can see
