Painting by Vedder
And Rare Sculpture
For Museum of Art
Valuable Beqae>lAls Comes
From Collection i'm Rome
of W. H. HERMAN, Which
Includes Moreau' $ Edipus

Two important recent accessions
have come to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art and are now on display for the
first time. They are an early paint
ing by EIihu Vedder called "The Lost
Mind" and rare Chinese wood sculpture
of Buddhistic dsities from the Tang
period. The December Museum bulletin,
issued to-day, announces also vau-
able bequest from the collection in
Rome of William II. Herman, consist
ing of six paintings of varied character
the most notable of which is Gustave
Moreau's "Edipus and the Sphinx"
The Vedder canvas was bequeathed
by Mrs. Helen Lister Bullard, together
with Flemish picture Of the "Adora-
ton of the Magi," painted about 1920
The former was purchased from the
artist in 1855 by Mrs. Laura Curtis
Bullard, in whose memory her daugh-
ter-in-law has given it. 1t shows a girl
in dark robe wandering barefoot in
a hilly. desert country. A blue-green
cloak hangs from the head and white
scarf, knotted around the neck, flows
in front. Vedder painted this picture
soon after the outbreak of the Civil
War in his garret quarters at 43 Beck
man Street.
The Chinese carving is Museum
purchase. 1t is one of the earlier ex-
amples of its type and apparently had
lain underground for many years. Four
female figures are represented, grouped
back to back in standing posture and
each with one hand upraised The lines
are simple and symmetrical, the whole
shaped like baluster or vase and hav-
ing mellow traces OF the original col
oring. The object was probably used
as final for a pagoda or shrine. ac-
cording to Museum authorities, who
place it's origin within the seventh CEN
tury.
Moreau's "Edipus' is a large paint
ing representing a semi-nude male fig
ure in the grasp of sphynx with
lions body. wings and the head of
beautiful woman. It was formerly ex-
hibited in the Salon.
The Herriman bequest also includes
Flemish Madonna and Child subject
painted by follower of Quentin
Matsys and work by Gabriel Metsu
which shows man lighting his pipe
and woman pouring him a drink. 1t
is, supposed to represent the artist and
painting on plaster showing the Ma
donna and Child is another Of this
group, being attributed to the Vene-
tian Lombard school of the sixteenth
century. Still another painting is the
italian Courtyard" by Descamps, of
the French school.

recent accessions room are a Home eric
vase by Wedgwood, which is the gift

Career a Notable One


Sir Arthur Pearson's career was
notable quite aside from the glory
into which he transformed his afflic-
tion. When his sight failed at the age
Of forty-eight years, he had behind him
achievements which few men attain
in lifetime and fortune built up
in the publishing business which he
devoted forthwith to the relief of the
blind.
He was the son of the Rev. Arthur
Cyril Pearson and was born in Wooky,
near Wells, February "a, 1885. He had
four years at private school and
three years at Winchester College. His
first job, which paid him $500 q year,
he obtained in competition with 5000
others, winning a prize which Tit
Bits" offered for the person submit
ting the best answers for three months
to the questions published in its in
quiry.
While he was a clerk in the Office
of "Tit-Bits," he formed friendship
with Alfred Harmsworth, now Lord
Northcliffe, which never weakened,
although Sir Arthur is said to have
been his friends chief rival when the
latter was negotiating for "The Lon
don Times"
In 1890 he founded "Pearson's Week
Within the next eight years he had
established a dozen other magazines,
among them "Pearson's Magazine" ali
of which were thriving and profitable.
BY the end of 1898 his magazines had
an aggregate circulation Of more than
100000 and their annual profits ex-
ceeded S250,0Oo.
From magazine publishing he turned
to newspaper publishing, founding
'The Daily Express" in 1900 as rival
to his friend Harmsworth's Daily
Mail" Four years later he obtained
control of "The London Standard"
1.-The Evening Standard" and "The st.
James's Gazette" consolidating the
founded The North Mail" in New
castle and "The Gazette" and "Ex-
press" in Birmingham.
Active in Tariff Reform
He was active in the tariff reform
movement and became vice-president
of the Tariff Reform League and vice
chairman OF the Tariff Commission in
1903.
He sold all his interests when blind
ness came upon him, in 1914, dedicat-
ing the rest of his life to those SINH
larly afflicted. He founded and direct
ed ST. Dunstan's Hostel for Blinded
Soldiers in London, obtaining its splen-
did site adjoining Regents Park
through the assistance of Mr.. and Mrs.
Otto H Kahn. of New York He was
president of the National Institute for
the Blind and OF the Fresh Air Fund.
II recognition of his remarkable work
he was made baronet in 1916.
He visited the United States in 1919.
and spent some time in New York pro-
m oting the welfare of blinded veterans
of the war. In 1897 he married Miss
Ethel Fraser. dadghter of w. J. Fraser.
who survives him. with three sons, of
whom Lieutenant Arthur Neville Pear
son succeeds to the baronetey.
