They are The Thinker" reduction
of the great work which stands be-
fore the Pantheon: THE Sirens" a
group; Music" a symbolic interpre-
tation. and a portrait of Nine. Rodin.
They are rugged and powerful. But
Robins work is essentially SO yigor-
Gus that it cannot be seen at its best
in reduced size: For example. the lit
tie Thinker gives but faint intima-
ton of the emotional quality which
the great original work possesses. 1t
is as il its tremendous energy were
compressed in small compass and thus
held captive. In these little bronzes
this vital force seems to cry for re-
lease. Yet those who are familiar
with the masters work know that he
| could be not only strong to the verge
of brutality, but exquisitely gentle
when he SO desired. There is nothing
| in sculpture more lovely than some Of
his works in marble at the Metropoli
, tan Museum Of Art Be that as it
may. these bronzes give opportunity
not previously offered in this city of
acquaintance with one who as a
sculptor rivals the greatest sculptors
| of all time.
That Anna Vaughan Hyatt's group
! OF draft horse and man should have
been deemed worthy of a place on
the same pedestal as the works by
Z, Rodin is the highest compliment that
could have been paid it. and that it
holds it's own in such company is in
deed significant.
Meunier, it will be remembered was
the great advocate of labor in art the
Belgian sculptor who lived among the
miners and other laboring men and
interrupted the nobility of labor
through the medium of sculpture as
did Millet through the medium of
:, painting.
f; Mr.. King Las lent a series of
/ three plaques admirably represent
ing Meunier at his best. These have
| been placed on the side wall. on which
! are hung etchings by D. Y. Cameron
and Anders Zorn. likewise lent by
| Mr.. King.
1t is interesting and instructive to
: observe that the etchfngs and the
| powerful works in bronze are found
here in perfect harmony. A great
architect once said: Ornament. to
hold it's own against size ana mass
must be exquisite" Thus it is that
| these etchings lose nothing in effect
| through comparison with the sturdier
{, works in bronze.
| OF unique interest are the two ex.
ampIes of sculpture by Bourdelle. q
modern FrenchmSn. One Is suppose

| close range appears as rugged. to use
! homely smile. as a piece of rock

example by this sculptor is small in
scale and less extreme in treatment
but distinctly individual.

an ultimatum to Georgia demanding
the Immediate release of the boil

The Georgian government refused to

The withdrawal was ACCOMPANIED

Notes of Art and Artists

A painting by Eugene Isabey, son
and pupil of Jean Baptiste Isabey. has
been presented to the National Gal
lery of Art by Mrs. Gibson Fahne-
stock in memory of the late Clarence
Fahnestock of the A. f. F.
The painting represents an ap-
preaching storm, presumably on the
coast of the Mediterranean. The sky
is black, the water angry and sea-
men in gay colored garments are with
the utmost evident energy and haste
Bleaching their boats in the lea of the
land. The coast is high and rocky.
A Zigzag staircase has been cut in
the rock wall to the left and up this
many figures are seen hastily
scrambling A fortress-like structure
is seen at the top. while perched
above the extreme end of the promon-
tory separated from the fortress by a
broad cliff and inserting sea is a
group of modest little dwellings prob
ably inhabite by fishermen or other
native working people.
The chances are that this picture
was executed in 1880, when Isabey
accompanied a government expedition
to Algiers as royal marine painter,
where. it is said. his highly roman l.
TIC temperament 1OunQ COnSenldi SUD-
ject matter for his facile brush"
Isabey was made an officer of the
Legion of Honor in 1852. He was one
of the most puopular opponents of the
romantic movement in France and is
represented in almost all of the i'm
portant provincial museums, in the
Luxembourg and in the leading pub
lie and private collections in Europe.
The painting is thoroughly repre-
sentative of both the artist and his
school. 1t is fine in color and tone
and emphasizes the fashion of the
day in which it was painted for pic
lures in which the subject is made
of dominant interest.

1t is said that this work in the

incidentally. affording opportunity for
the talented few to discover latent

are amazing.

power of expression which are ex-
tremely unusual. The landscape work
is in the line of composition and re-
lation of val ues and is of high ex-
cellence. but not quite as notable
for merit. A number of studies in
color in this group, however, are of
exceptional interest.
The drawings from the antique and
from casts are of the usual sort.
The sketches from draped life are in
several instances not only spirited.
but clever.
There is one panel Of textile de-
signs which are quite in the mode.
And a whole wall is given up to
poster work which is distinctly COM
inendable,
Such teaching as this cannot fail
to improve the public taste and at
the same time add immeasurably to
the students breadth Of vision and
equipment for life.
