''Intimate Paintings''
The Picture That Is Meant for
Companionship

For some years now the Macbeth
gallery has made a practice Of opening
IN the early winter an exhibition of
intimate paintings." The fifth in the
series is open now. 1t embodies an
idea on. which we have repeatedly
made favorable comment, for it bears
in an interesting manner upon the
whole question of collecting works of
art, and, fer that matter, of painting
them. Looking at some of the can
vases that are often placed before the
public one cannot help wondering what
the artist had in mind as to the alti-
mate destiny of his work. A canvas
four or five feet square, painted by
main strength in tones to make the
welkin ring, may possess the virtue
of having been painted by the artist
to please himself. From that impulse.
Of course, proceeds the only kind of
picture that really justifies itself.
Just the same. we speculate in vain as
to what il to be done outside the mu-
seums with such muscular exercises AZ

cal element Is that which has been re-
garded as more or less revolutionary,
che element standing for new" ideas.
There is scarce trace Of it in the
winter Academy, now accessible at the
Fine Arts Building. To see what the
iinnovators, to give them q possibly ex-
agserated designation, are doing, it is
necessary to observe the New Society
lac the Wildenstein gallery. The Academy
remains this winter in the hands of the
conservatives. Does it suffer for this
reasonf Is 1t at q loss through the
rivalry of the New Society? Hardly.
1T is hurt, as it has so often been hurt
before, by the inclusion of many poor
pictures. But it includes many good
ones; and, as we have frequently had
occasion to remark, this mixture of
talent and mediocrity is inseparable
from any miscellaneous exhibition any
where in the world The point is COM
mended to the attention of those who
fooiishly see red whenever the Academy
is mentioned.
Hanging in the place Of honor is a
grave reminder Of that upon which the
good fortune of an exhibition must
always depend-the personality of a
great artist. This reminder takes the
shape of the late Abbott Thayer's "Pcr-
trait of Lady" With its serene au-
thority it emphasizes the eternal truth
that art is made not by methods or
movements or even by the ideas whicn
are indispensable to its growth, but
by sheer genius, transmitting to us a
vision of beauty. heightened by the
accent OF style. That is tha boon
which we here receive from Thayer.
1t is q beautiful canvas-ope of the
most distinguished he ever painted.
Incidentally, it is not inapposite to
remark that while genius dwells nee
essarily aloof, Thayer ranged himself,
if anywhere, with the conservatives.
His strain of beauty died with him
There is no one on the present occa-
sion who approaches it at ALL But
there are painters who are akin to him
in that they, too, appeal to US through
the power of personality. Mr.. C. W.
Hawthorne is one of them. There is
much charm of color in his Mrs.

painted q statesman, matching the

phase of the workmanship that sug-
gests fairly leonine reaction against
his customary thin elegance.
There is single Sir Joshua, the por-
raft OF boy. It is not an important
piece, but it has q breath of his dis
tinction. i'he Rueburn, a portrait Of
the Lord President Dundas, is good
example, both vigorous and mellow.
Then come a few excellent minor
things, interesting portraits by North
cote, Opie and Hoara. One of the
Northcotes, the composition called
THE Chess Players" almost reaches
major rank. 1t marks an amusing de-
parture from the conventions of the
school and the heads are handsomely
drawn. In it's vitality and measured

ish masters about eight years ago. At
the Tooth gallery there hangs the
three-quarter length which Gainsbor-
ough also enthusiastically painted with
the ardor Of friendship. 1t is extraor-
dinarily rich in color, warm harmony
of plum and blue and gold; it is a most
interesting bit Of characterization, and
throughout it iv painted with the keen
maestria of the most finished techni-
clan of his time. 1t registers the high
mark of the exhibition. Gainsborough

TO say can easily fill any space. but it
must be confessed that there ia soma
thing ingratiating about the compare

seems to deepen their personal signi-
hcance. Witness, for example, land
scape like the "Grey Fields" of Mr..
Charles H. Davis. 1t seems almost
casual in its swift spontaneiety. Yet
never has work by this fine painter
been more saturated in the truth Of
nature. The exhibition is full of good
little landscapes by Bruce Crane, c. w.
Eaton, the late J. F. Murphy and
others, and it is amusing to observe
how certain painters who are wont to
cover a good deal of canvas grow lit
tile more attractive as they restrict
themselves. Mr.. Gardner Symons and
Mr. E. W. Redheld illustrate the point
The collection makes no pretense of
confining itself to pictures recently

British Portraits
Cainsborough, Lawrence and
Some Minor Men

The fashion which has made the
portraits of women more popular than
the portraits of men among collectors
Of eighteenth century English ar. is
easily understood AS pictures The
portraits of women are usually the
more beautiful and the more decora-
tive. Nevertheless, Reynolds and the
artists of his circle painted superb
portraits of men, q fact on which we
have been tempted to lay stress in
season and out OF season. A new and
irresistible temptation comes in the
form of an exhibition at the Tooth
gallery, where fourteen portraits of
the period have been assembled. There
are three or four women among the
subjects and the best of them, by the
way, is from an American brush, the
Miss cambridge" by Gilbert Stuart.
1t is portrait of great dignity and,
as happens IN many q Stuart. the ac-
complished technique rises here and
there into moments Of virtaosity. 1t
has charming companions in certain
portraits by Lawrence, Owen and Hud-
son. But these make q subordinate
group. Most of the portraits are dedi-
Gated to masculine sitters.
One of the closest of the friends Of
Gainsborough was Karl Friedrich Abel,
musician Of some celebrity who for
time served the English court. The
artist painted him twice. He made the
magnificent full length now in the col
lection az Mr.. George Jay Gould, which

o. his flashing talent. He had a fair
for the adroit delineation of the traits
OF childhood, and sometimes, as in this
instance, he superadded to it a vein
of tenderness. 1t has a clever COM
panion piece in Mr.. Henris "John."
Here, too, the flowing technique is en-
hanced by the human interest Of the
study. We turn again with apprecia-
tion of sympathetic human things to
the brilliant little Japanese Girl"
especially good in color, Of Mr. Carl
Melchers to the polished "Child's
Head" by Mr.. Brush, to the "July Day"
Of Mr E. H. Potthast and to tho In

most distinguished of the portraits is

in its effortless control Of the

| ing. He makes good portraits His
bust of Theodore Roosevelt is full of
character and his bust of "Mlle. d'Arle'
is beautiful in it's simple dignity. In a
different and more Gallo way he makes
his portrait statuettes amusing and ar
tistic. Finally, he displays magma
tion in his studies of Icarus, Leda and
other similar themes. His work is
varied, animated, expressive of poetic
thought and, most important of all,
ably modelled
Mrs. Johanna W. Hailman Is a Curl
ously uneven artist. Her portraits,
fairly adequate in workmanship, are
fatty commonplace. SO are some of her
landscapes and flower pieces. Then she
will paint q couple of pictures like
"The Coral Shore" and the "Across the
Canal" or another canvas like her
gorgeous September Flowers" and IN
these she will put aside her pedestrian
mood, rising to really interesting
plane. At her best she gives a good
account of herself At the Knoedler
Gallery, where these things may be
seen, another exhibition will also be on
view tomorrow, one of sculptures by
Mr.. Emile Fuchs.
John O'Shea, who is making an ex-
hibition at the Kingore gallery, has q
genuine gift and in the exercise of it
he SPEAKS out loud and bold" His
subjects, we gather, have been drawn
from the Pacific Coast and along New
England shores, wherever he could find
blue waters and tawny rocks. He fiings
these elements rather roughly into
picturesque compositions. His gift is for
color and for large, free interpreta-
ton Of nature. He simplises his mate
rial, offering it to US in series Of
vivid impressions, which, taken one
after the other, leave an effect as of
kind of staccato iteration 1t is all
rather exhilarating and, in the long
run, little disconcerting. Mr.. O'Shea

tells especially to his disadvantage
when In some Of his sea pictures he
covers q space with almost fiat pure
color. He leaves that color not only
pure but raw. He needs to refine his
tone, not, so to say, by thinning it, but
by giving it richer and more trans
parent quality. There is so much life
in his work that 1t would only profit
by the application OF more art. Color
like his, more sensitively pondered,
would substitute lasting charm for
brilliance now too crude to carry

beauty in her color, and because she
SO exquisitely modulates the light
playing through her tones. But the
central source of her effect is mat

thought in the past that she must have
been influenced by Weir, but that
thought now seems irrelevant Even
when there is q faint recurrence of it
