Helleu's exhibition to the one which
Mr.. George Luks is holding at the
Kraushaar gallery. Tie Frenchman is
all for daintiness. The touch CT the
Americans brush is like a blow. He
cares nothing for line as his colleague
it. He is for mass, flung,
or, we may even say hurled, upon the
canvas. Yet there turks in the art of
this robust craftsman a feeling for
that cannot be achieved by
violence. There are in the collection
of fourteen pictures two dating from
earlier periods, "The Old Duchess" and
the "Sand Artist" In these there is
certain beauty Of tone, particularly in
the dress treated in the former can
vas. Time, perhaps. has mellowed both
these paintings. We wonder II 1t will
accomplish as much for the others.

little disconcerting. They are sur
rounded by portraits recently made,
dry points and drawings, and the con-
trast disturbs the beholder.
This gifted Frenchman is still the
accomplished craftsman, audacious,
rapid, flashing and as discreet as of
yore in the art Of omission. His sum-
mary touch has lost nothing of it's
certainly, but the broad impression
left by the new designs is, that if M.
HeHeu remains the master of his old
technique, his old dexterity, he has
ceased to visualize his sitters with the
piquant, inventive stroke that once
characterized him. He is still adroit
but he Is no longer felicitous. There
is now perfunctory quality about his
work, presentation of the sitter which
has sufficient vitality but is wanting in
the beauty of design which we were
once accustomed to expect from him.
The early dry points of Helleu, Of
high interest as portraits, were inter-
esting also as works of art. In the
present display the appeal to the sit
ters and their friends is doubtless au-
thentic, but as drawings and prints,
considered as such, they leave us sadly
disappointed. Questionable" portrai-
ture only touches the imagination when
it's artistic elements carry the claims

ances within tho key Of that urbanity
which, to tell the truth, is not incom-
patible with the simplicity at which
Mr.. Luks is driving. Whistler proved
this. He was willing to temper his
broad masses of tone. Perhaps from
the point Of view Of Mr.. Luks. Whistler
tempered his surfaces down into preci-
osity. Nevertheless, he made them very
beautiful. 1t is interesting to specu-
late as to what Mr.. Luks might have
made Of the browns, blacks, grays and
whites in his "Portrait Of a Lady," a
full length of lady in riding habit,
il he had cared to substitute tender
ness for his terrifcally emphatic
method. To the reply that it wasn't a
matter Of choice-that he had to paint in
this way because he could not help
himself-we would offer the rejoinder
that Is confirmed by his picture called
"The White Black Bird" The browns
and yellows in this indicate we'll enough
that he could do what he liked with
tone, making it more and more beauti
full, If he cared to give his mind to it..
Why in the world, we wonder, must
he be SO strident as he is in his polish
Dancer" and his "Czecho- -Slovak Chief
tain," paintings whose blare it would
probably take years and years to soften
into anything like mellowness? We
suspect that there is good deal Of
willful caprice about Mr.. Luks. He
will paint small canvas like his Base
ball Fan" or like "The Flyweight
Champ" and hit off his fragment of
humanity not only with bravura akin
to that Of Halls, but with an instinct for
tonal quality that hovers on the verge

A Masterpiece by Degas
). And a Sienese Ceiling

there has Just been brought to New
York work by the master which alone
would make sensation. 1t Is a work
which has hitherto been known to the
world at large only from reproduc-
tion in the little book published some
years ago by NJ. Lemoisne. LA Femme
aux Chrysanthemes" was painted in
1866. DurandRuel bought it and in
1878 he sold it to NJ. Boivin, in whose
collection it has all these years been
secluded. Only the other day it came
back into the hands of Durand- Ruel,
who has now brought it to this coun-
try. In the whole range of the paint
er's works there is nothing else quite
like it. 1t has been said of him that
he cared nothing for flowers and that
despite his innumerable portrayals of
ballet dancers and other feminine
types he was at bottom woman
hater. Nevertheless in this canvas he
celebrates flowers with clairvoyant
touch, and includes in the composition
a beautiful portrait of a woman. There
is, of course, no paradox here. Degas
could paint anything. Subject was,
after all, for him only an excuse, only
something to start the exercise Of his
phenomenal technique.
Because he cared for drawing beyond
everything else, believing with lngres,
his idol, that it constituted the very
rectitude of art, one might easily be
lured into dwelling first on the con-
summate delineation of the head and
hand in this painting. But the truth
is that the beauty of the flowers will
not be denied and though the compost
tion, as a composition, is perfectly bal
anced, the beholder is mediately alb
sorbed in Degas simply and solely as
an interpreter of chrysanthemums.

Helleu
The Laureate of Feminine Grace
Revisits Us

RevlSltS Us
M. Helleu is like the poet of the
single poem. Throughout long career
no has had virtually but one theme, the
type of fashionable grace, of elegance,
of costly frou frou. He has, no doubt,
deviated occasionally into other paths.
To his interest in yachting we have
owed some delightful studies of boats
with white sails and flags fluttering.
But to think Of Helleu Is to think OF
lovely ladies drawn in a style befitting
their fragile charm. Years ago, when
he paid his first visit to this country.
he made some dry points which to this
day rejoice the connoisscur through
their technical brilliancc, their indi-
viduality. their beauty. Two or three

10dern France and Renaissance Italy ~

there is one recent accession which new
ertheless is so unexpected and so beau
tiful that it might seem to have sprung
from a rubbing of Aladdin's lamp.
There was a time, not so very long ago,
when it seemed as though we must re-
sign ourselves to the permanent impos
sbility of our acquiring any of the
masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance
They were all locked up in European
collections, public or private, from which
they never could be extracted But con-
ditions have changed, old Italian art is
brought more and more to New York,
and now there has been installed at the
Museum one of the most characteristic
of its triumphs.
This is the ceiling which Pandolfo
Petrucci, the Tyrant of Siena, had Pin
turicchio paint for the reception hall in
his palazzo. The work was done early
in the sixteenth century. In the course
of time it was lost to view, through the
erection of other ceilings and walls be-
meath it, but it was ultimately brought to
| light again and the Museum was enabled
to purchase it in Paris just prior to the
outbreak of the war. 1t has been in
stalled in the most delightful manner, in
room so designed as to show the panels
in something like their original setting.
The result is the development of Pin
turicchio's work in the veritabe atmos-
phere Of typical Renaissance interior.
This ceiling is typical not in the decora-
tive sense alone, but in the ideas it
illustrates. The artist here mirrors the
classical taste OF his time, reproducing
in his numerous episodes salient figures
and stories from mythology. He de-
picts the three graces, he portrays
Venus and Bacchus, or, Hercules and
Omphale, he realizes before US the Judg-
ment of Paris or the hunt of the Caly-
donian boar. Over and over again ne
paints those trioni which were among
the favorte themes Of Renaissance
fancy.
There was always a certain sophisti-
cation about Pinturcchio AS mar
rative painter he sought to give dis
tinct reality to his scenes. He Is tan
gible in his conceptions, as was natural
for a man of his peculiar kind of
era tsmanship, his flair for stucco and
gliding. At the same time there hangs
about him something of that naive
sweetness which belongs to Umbran
painting. His forms are gracious. A
simple smiling blitheness lends charm
as of perpetual spring to his rather
superficial but sufficiently convincing
imaginings. And all the pretty tales
which he bodies forth are placed in a
beautifully balanced decorative scheme,
framed by conventional ornament in
relief and fused in a delicate harmony
of color He gives US, in sense, a
picture book but he always remembers
that he is embellishing a ceiling, that
he is collaborating with an architect,
and so these gemike panels of his,
each to be enjoyed for its own sake as
one in group of romantic chapters
contribute to a broad structural effect
; This is where Mr.. Joseph Breck, the
curator of decorative arts, has risen
most admirably to his opportunity. He
has framed the ceiling perfectly. One
; may sit in this room and ponder as
though in Siena itself the exact signifi-
: cance of Pinturicchio's contribution tc
the mural painting of his time. This

awakened by shouts and soon learned
that a nearby house was on fire.
CARRIED In a dressing gown he made
his way to the burning house and
found a crowd Of spectators awaiting
