Waiting in His House

Thursday night Deputy Sheriff Jen-
nings, Chief Of Police Hill and Off
Ger McGraw went to the place OF Mr.
Shealey Kaufman, several miles from
the city, to raid the home OF George
Edwards. a negro. Edwards was away
from home at the time, but the Off
GERS entered the house and were re-
warded by finding in the kitchen 10
gallon distilling outfit, a barrel OF
mash and about a quart of whisky.
Messrs. Hill and Jennings went out
to reconnoiter, and Mr.. McGraw re-
NAMED on guard in the house. Ed
wards returned home in the mean
time, and upon entering was surpris-
ed to find the officer there and made
a dash to get away. McGraw grabbed
the fleeing darkey, who made his es-
cape by pulling away and leaving one
of the pockets in his coat in the grasp
of the officer. The "shine" outfit was
brought to the city, and the owner IS
still absent.
Caught in the Act.
Friday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Jennings and Bailiff Ernest Methvln

promptly retreated, and the last seen
of him he was making a fine record

Post-Inapressionism
Its Record as a Mode of
Synthetic Painting

The impressionist. as we have said,
painted with his eye on the subject.
The post-impressionist has sought to
simplify the subject; he has painted
with Difference to ideas simmering in
the back of his mind. We say sim
mering" because writers seldom give
clear. concise notion of just
what post-impressionism is founded
upon, circumstance to be attributed
less to the limitations of the spokes-
men than to the nebulous nature of the
t-impressionistic hypothesis. There
are two ways of dealing with the
resultant muddle. One is to adopt g
tinnid neutrality, making allowance for
illumination some day to be expected.
The other is to face the facts, What
are the facts? Gauguin, man of

talent disgusted with the ~outina of
the salon, went to Tahiti and painted

recording robust and often handsome
Impressions of dusky forms In a tropi-
cal environment, He had a fervid but
sufficiently restrained sense of color.
There is a rich exotic charm about
some of his simple idylls. He was a
capable but uneven teehnician. oc-
casionally his imagination was stirred.
One of the best things in the present
group of his pictures is the "Ia Drama
Maria," in which two haloed heads and
suggestion of angelic wings point to
some devotional pre-occupation. But
Gauguin remains realist. Was he a
distinguished realist? Had he per-
sonal force, like Manet? A modicum
of it. Had he style? Again, a modi-
cum OF it. His work, as more and
more OF it comes into view, seems the
tragmentary work of an artist who
never quite found himself. Was this
because he lost himself through de-
tachment from the central springs of
French art? He could draw and
model, no doubt. Could he design? :?
he was content to follow the dictates
OF nature as she was revealed to him.
He, too, was objective. But his OBJ
Jectlvity was not coordinated and gov
erned by the French passion for sound
workmanship. He is tentative where
one Graves authority. He feels his
way, casually, where one waits to see
mastery step forth.
This is the weakness of the Post
impressionist group. 1t is what blan-
kets the efforts of C6zanne. Cezanne
is the fashion. When Vollard produced
his useful book about him he made it
monumental in scale, and his disciples,
In and out of the studios, have long
been taking the same line. Mr.. Bur.
roughs, who organized and admirably
hung this exhibition, has rounded out
his work by writing a preface for the
catalogue, and in this he speaks of
the great and mysterious figure of
Cezanne," Daumier, Tintoretto and Ell
Greco are cited as among his proto-
types. Let US take another point of

scape, portraiture, still life, are ali
represented. And only once, in the
"Still Life--Pears and Brandy Bottle"
does C@zanne, as a colorist, appear to
have been visited by an impulse toward
beauty. In the mass of his york he is
a fumbling painter, fumblihg toward
matters Of form and composition, set
ting forth an impression of nature in
rough, uncertain terms. If the truth is
one of his virtues it is perceptible only
as quality toward which he groped,
not as one which he had mastered. His
craftsmanship has the uncouthness of
inmaturity. Sometimes there is hint
in him of something like swing, ease,
command over his medium. "The Road
way" provides a case in point. But
look at these paintings for what they
are, pure and simple, without reference
70 any recondite, hypothetical asser-
tions regarding them, and there is
nothing IN them to explain for a mo-
ment why they should be accepted as
great"
Cezanne moves about in a world not
realized, arriving at moments, at
passages, of color and atmosphere
which have in them a faint suggestion
of nature heightened by art. What
ever he does or fails to do, one is dis
posed to have faith in his sincerity.
When he is inadequate it Is not, per-
haps, his fault. Matisse leaves a diff
ferent impression. One surmises that
he could paint otherwise, if he chose
20 do 80. In the book about i'm lately
published in Paris there is, amongst
the drawings reproduced, portrait of
a seated young woman, done in 1919 1t
is work Of the sanest and most re-
fined craftsmanship, the drawing Of
first-class man. The eight or nine
paintings by Matisse at the museum
disclose nothing of the same quality

there is nothing in this crude, form
less cosmos to seize upon. AS it Is
with Matisse so it is with Van Gogh,
Picasso and Derain, with the two or
three minor figures who fill out the
collection. We are perfectly willing to
believe that these people may be mas
ters of technique. But they don't

and cannot repeat too often, the bur
den of proof rests upon them. To be

Witness, again. the famous interior
by Degas. The drama in it is enigma
tic. 1t might be page from modern
French novel, but we are really un-
concerned with its psychological mys-
terry. The joy that the picture gives
to connoisseur of painting is akin to
the joy he gets out Of Manet's melon
in the "Still Life" aforesaid. He
savors the play of artificial light in
the composition the beauty of trans
parent shadows the positively miracu-
l9ns lifting of textures to their highest
power. Go back to Manet in his "Soap
Bubbles" or in the painting of the
waite dress in lie Repos." Return
again to Degas and note the exquisite
reflnements of light, of form, of move
ments of color, in "La Repetition de la
Danse," the most brilliant of the ballet
subjects. But, for that matter, wher~
ever the eye falls in the group making
the first half of the museum show, one
is conscious of superlative workman
ship, of the historic rectitude of French
art.
One is conscious of that and of cer-
tain other qualities on which it is we'll
TO fasten. There is, in the first place.
the element of personality. Artistic
genius is gift of the gods. The men
who receive it are marked forever.
They enter into the glorious company
OF those who have style How unmis-
taxable is style in the great figures
of nineteenth century revolt in France!
Pissarro has it. Monet has it. Manet
and Degas have it. There is not pic
ture Of theirs here which lacks that
fresh salience, like unto the CLINT of
new rninted coin, which proclains the
artist of creative originality. And al
ways this mark of style has in it a
certain lure, a certain likable, beguiling
strain. Add to it the strain which you
designate not merely Manet's style, but
French style. We would not labor the
point which we have recently been
dwelling upon, yet the truth is that
it is Unavoidable in vne consideration
of this exhibition. There is such
thing as breeding in art, as in man
ners. 1t may be said of a painter as
it has been said Of the Continental
noble, that he is born" He carries
with him all his life long the stamp
of high aesthetic origin. So the his
toric Frenchmen who bring into the
museum the echoes of a memorable
revolution bring with them also the
warrant of an artistic caste. They
played the game, even while they fought
and conquered the outworn shibbo-
leths of intrenched authority. Turning
from them to the post-impressionists
one cannot help asking if they, too,
have played the game. 1t is a crucial
question, for it has nothing to do with
that hated thing, the formula. 1t drives
at the heart Of painting.

The paintings of Spain which Mr.. Max
Kuehne is showing at the Kraushaar
gallery are interesting productions
which just fall short of carrying con-
viction. If they are not wholly sue
cessful it is because his technique is
a little too rigid and heavy-handed.
He paints doggedly, as though he were
assembling the different episodes in
his pictures one by one, instead of at
tanning a swift and broad grip upon a
subject. In consequence these scenes
want development, the rich atmospheric
quality which is perfectly compatible
with the crisp contrasts of light and
shade in Spain. What is to be ad-
mired unreservedly in Mr.. Kuehnes
Impressions is what we can only call
the prosaic picturesqueness in the
characteristic towns he has portrayed

Mr.. George Biddle. at the Kingore
gallery, shows q quantity of paintings

handles the figure with a large, strong
sense Of form and his color is in a
fittingly rich key. He is competent
craftsman. But his figure subjects are
not charged with any striking personal
quality, there is no new emotion, no
new accent Of style, in these paintings.
His freshest impressions are those of
flowers, especially the larger canvases.
These are sumptuous performances,
luscious in their hues and at the same
time kept we'll in hand, the heavy South
Sea blooms being wrought into beauti-
fully balanced decorative units with
out recourse to convention. The flower
subjects and the drawings make the
show. The drawings, whether in black
and white or in water color, reveal
what we miss in the big compositions.
certain individuality, both in the
touch and in the conception of the
-
thing seen. 1t is as though Mr. Biddle
grasped and expressed the beauty of
his subjects when working swiftly and
casually, but lost the magic of it in
laboring a theme on q serious scale.
In neighboring room there are
some paintings and drawings by Mr..
Eyre de Lanux. His portraiture is
family touched by cubism. He is
polished draughtsman in a rather stiff.
unsympathetic way.

Ane NdtioAal association OF Portrait
Painters is holding at the Knoedler
gallery its ninth annual exhibition.
Sculpture plays a modestly effective
part. Mr.. Herbert Adams, in his "Bust
OF Miss De Fanti," develops a polychro-
matte scheme of almost startling
realism. The portrait seems to breathe.
IL IS a tour de force in its exploita-
ton Of color. We appreciate this less,
however, than we do the delicacy of
the modelling and the gracious, Renais-
sance charm which envelops the bust.

Golden Head" which would be more
pleasing in an ordinary patina,
The painters vary, as they somehow
always do. Mr.. Sargent produced the
Mrs. Moore" long time ago. The
background IS over-turnlshed. He did
that sort of thing very we'll, but he
improved his conception of portrai&ure
in a later period. There are one or
two other canvases which we have
seen before and are glad to see again.
