Reno, the brother Of Degas, died in
Paris not long ago, close upon the age
of eighty. In the usual card of thanks
sent by the family in acknowledgment
of expressions of sympathy it is inter
esting TO observe that the name is
spelled "de Cas- This, it appears, is
the correct spelling, though the artist
himself never used it.
A capital pen drawing Of Whistler
by himself is reproduced as frontis-
piece to the catalogue Of the collection
of Whistleriana recently presented to
the Congressional Library by Joseph
and Elizabeth Robins Pennell. This
catalogue, running to about 500 num-
bers, indicates an admirable arrange
ment Of the material, one which should
really facilitate the labors of the stu
dent. The entries are grouped accord
ing to subjects, the Whistler Ruskin
trial, the 10 o'clock lecture, '"The
Gentle Art of Making Enemies" and all
the other activities of the artist. The
paintings shown at the great trial are
present in photographs. Documents
are assembled. When Whistler's lit
erary productions are reached they are
shown in different editions. Catalogues
are included and the various biogra-

Ingr'e,s
A Great Exhibition to Come
fn America

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Frank
Crowninshield, who has just returned
from Paris, we have received some in
teresting news of the Ingres exhibi-
tion lately opened there. 1t was orig
lnally projected as part of the or
ganized movement to make French art
better known in the United States and
American art more familiar in France.
Though it could not be prepared in
time to be shown in New York this
spring, there is little doubt that it
may be expected in the fall. Mean
while it has been attracting the lead
ing French painters, critics and con-
noisseurs to the new gallery in the
Rue de la Ville-lEveque, where it will
continue until the end of the first
week in June, for the benefit of the
soldiers mutilated in the war.
There is kind of moral satisfaction
to be got cut OF this event. There
was an important Ingres exhibition in
Paris only ten years ago, at the
Georges Petit gallery, under imposing
auspices. The elect of France served
on the committee. More than two
hundred and fifty paintings and draw
ings were shown. If the modernists
were really in the saddle another
Ingres demonstration would hardly
have come so soon. The new exhibit
ton is evidence that French good taste
20 Is -
art still control. 1t is partly govern
ment enterprise, but the real impetus
toward it has been supplied by Comte
Etienne de Beaumont, who has worked
r'agniicently to extract exhibits from
sources hitherto unapproachable. There
is an American committee assisting
him, with Mr. Walter Berry at its head
In LIE Figaro we find some notes on the
principal examples secured.
The Queen of Belgium has interest
ed herself in the affair, and from Rrus-
sells has come one of the most ro-
mantle Of the pictures by Ingres,
classical in theme, the Virgil Reading
the Eneid," which exists also in a
version at Toulouse. Liege contributes
a portrait of Bonaparte as First Con-
sui. The Due d'Orleans lends the por-
trait of his grandfather. Montauban, the
natal town of the painter, possesses in
its museum a unique collection of his
works. (It has been fully described in
these columns.) 1t lends fully ninety
canvases and drawings. AK sends the
superb portrait of the architect
Granet. Numerous private collectors
have added their treasures. There are,
all told, fifty full dress portraits, as
many paintings of historical and
NEUROLOGICAL subjects, and about two
hundred drawings. Comte de Beau,
mont is busily occupied obtaining the
permission of owners, so that he can
bring the collection intact to the
United States. Imagination kindles at
the thought of what this should mean

ther sale, $54,387. Anthony ]. Drexel

the late William Loring Andrews, 500

three sales, $5,323, $10,053 and $12,999.
We cite the figures for the light which
they throw, roughly on the transac-
tions at one house. Books are espe-
cially prominent in the list of the An
derson galleries, but the art sales press
them close and in some instance exceed
them. One collection of Greek and
Roman antiquities fetched $203,60
The Lehne collection of paintings, fur
niture, objects of art. ship models, etc,
brought $176,288. Louis V. Bells draw
ings and prints ran up total of $751;
727. The sales at this establishment
contributed heavily to the tota! we
have named.
AT the American Art Galleries books
were sold to the tune of 1885 ,838, an
impressive sum, but here the objects of
art forge ahead and make a showing

clusions as to the establishment of

These six sales alone account for
more than million dollars. What is
the moral to be drawn from it? Con-
suit the figures of the Seligmsnn sale,
which rested on the fame of Degas;
look into the matter of Japanese prints
at the American Art Galleries or at the
Walpole Galleries, or pause upon the
wise courage with which Mr. Carl Ham
ilton is pursuing masterpieces of Re-
| haissance painting, and you would say
that the salient aesthetic type in the
United States is the collector with
speciality. But the six sales we have
just ranged in a row indicate q more
widespread, development. They, and
the numerous others to which we might
| refer, proclaim above all things the
| making over of the richer type of
American house.
Decorative art, drawn from the Euro
pean past, is in the ascendant. If the
season of, 1o2o-'21 proves anything, it
proves that. Incidentally it invites re-
currence to the economic opportunity
Of the American artist. Nobody wants
him to paint pictures initiative of the
Italian Renaissance. But would he have
to sacrifice anything of his individu-
ality if he sought to paint pictures that
would fall harm oniously into the char
Gcteristic modern interior? Too often
he paints, as q matter Of fact, at the
top of his voice, by main strength, as
we had occasion to note in these col
umns in traversing the Pittsburgh ex-
hibttion not long ago. To cultivate a
little sense of measure and restraint,
10 seek charm rather than brute force
IN color, to paint picture that one
could live with instead of picture that
is tolerabe only in public exhibition,
would surely leave him plenty of mar
gin for his personality. We hold no
brief for 'junk' and would ask no ar
tist to paint up, or down, to it. We
only maintain that its prevalence con-
tains a hint for the artist, hint that
his contemporaries are in decorative
mood. We hear a lot about the duty
of the artist to paint In the spirit of
his time. Well, the spirit of the pres
ent time as it is expressed in rooms
full of old furniture is not to be ig-
nored. 1t drives, fon one thing, at an
ideal which we newer tire of commend
ing to the artist, an ideal of beauty.

English sculptor, has been among our
foreign visitors. But most Of the for
eigners have been Frenchmen-Helleu,
Victor Charreton, the French land
scape men who exhibited at the An
derson Galleries, and miscellaneous
company of modernists. The Durand-
Ruel gallery has, as usual, looked after
the mpressionists, making special ex
hibitions of Sisley and Jongkind.
The modernists cannot say that they
have been grudged an opportunity in
New York. They were welcomed by
the Society Of Independent Artists and
they have been made at home in more
than one of the galleries. Indeed one
new organization, the Societe Anonyme,
may be said to have come into exist
ence wholly to satisfy their claims.
The season was opened with an exhi-
bition of Van Gogh at the Montross
gallery and It is to be carried through
the summer by the show at the Metro
politan, which is divided between the
impressionsists and the post-impres-
sionists. Americans as we'll as for
eigners are discernible in this cloudy
movement. But its intrinsically for
eign character remains unchanged.

Foreign Art
The Place of Old Masters and
the Moderns

There was a golden age"during which
the old master Of incredible value was
essentially an American prize. That
was the age of Morgan, Altman, Wide
ner and Frick. They are gone and the
golden age has to that extent neces-
sarily been modified into something
not quite so spectacular. Yet it has
not utterly departed. The entry into
the field within the last few years of
Mr.. Carl Hamilton has shown that the
star" painting may still, find a pur
chaser here. He it was who lent to
the Metropolitan that great Bellini,
painted in part by Titan, which is SIM
ply one of the most beautiful pictures
in the world. He lent also to the great
tiftieth anniversary exhibition price
less examples of Cimabue and Man
tegna. 1t was plain from these works
and from the repute of others in his
collection that Mr.. Hamilton might
be counted upon to renew the pres
tige of private connoisseurship in
America. There are others exercising
kindred influence upon the market.
The jewels of Europe, in the shape of
her best old masters, may still be ex-
pected to come to these shores. Some
of them have lately been brought
here. The Duveens last winter brought
back from abroad the fine Titan, "The
Falconer," which figured years ago in
the Milliken collection, and they have
recently imported one of the greatest
of Rembrandt's portraits of cid women.
The Ehrichs bought from German
collector the magnificent "Lucrezia,"
by Rembrandt, which America lost at
the Borden sale. 1t is said that Herr
SKIS famous Vermeer, "The Little
Street in Delft" which was put up a:
auction in Amsterdam the other day,
fetching s272,oo0, may ultimately pass
into an American collection. Mean
while, however, as regards the season
of 1920-'2l, it is to be noted that the
old master has not been as conspicu-
GUS in the galleries as of yore.

More French Pictures

Indicative of the tenor in which
French art is being resumed since the
war by the younger school of artists
in France is the exhibition which may
now be seen at the Wildenstein gal
leries. Most of the men represented
fought in the conflict, during which
their artistic endeavor suffered pro-
longed curtailment. It is interesting
to note in view of this fact that the
break is not so pronounced az it would
seem. The work is in much the former
