Brilliant Color in
Arthur B. CarleS'S Work

Artists have long held Arthur II.
Carries in especial affection and now that
at last an exhibition OF his work has
been arranged by the %ontross Caller
les II is probable that he will be esti-
mated still more highly. For Mr.
Carries Is a painter. He has that pecul-
lar instinct for the pigment and a
sense of revelry in It's manipulation that
proclaims him of the brotherhood. He
has rich color at his command and a
technique that completely enfranchises
him. His exhibition Is therefore de-
cidedly worth investigating.
There was time when Mr.. Carries
painted realistically and certain hand
some nudes Of his will be recalled that
could he fitted without reproach into
collection of the best things OF the im-
pressionists. But evidently this sem
sitive artist has felt the march OF
events. New he is almost to be num-
bered uong the preachers for the alb
stract. To be sure. philistlnes may tell
In practically each instance what the
picture Is about. but certainly the artist
has been giving in more and more to the
emotions that may be expressed In pure
color He Is not a Redon. but the men,

distance something Of the new quality
that has crept into Mr.. Carless work.

cations OF the values. 1t is altogether
a genuine tour de force and Is quite
as fresh and interesting now as at the
time when II was painted.
The Guild of American Painters Is
holding forth in the Babcock Galleries
and Will continue there until December
8. George Pearse Ennis stands out from
the rest of the group with his painting
of Broad Bay" which Is compact
composition painted broadly and in rich
color. Eric Hudson Is another forceful
painter and his bloodhound Shelter
shows group of small fishing boats
bouncing about on the dark northern
waters In a way that only close
student Of the sea could have reported.
John z. Costigan in his March" ex-
hibits the most curious technic in the
room. but the straying sheep in his
picture are indicated with considerable
knowledge.
Sigurd Schou. who is the man who
astonished the art world last year by
having an anonymous sale Of his paint
ings at the Anderson Galleries. is
showing his latest canvases at the Mich
Galleries. Among them are landscapes,
still lifes and figure pieces. in pleasing
color and decorative, and the general
feeling is that he deepens the impression
he made last year.

Field Art Collection
To Be Dispersed

The sales of the library and various
art collections of the late Hamilton
Easter Field will doubtless attract much
attention from artists. Mr.. Fields
residence on Columbia Heights was one
Of the artistic show places of the city
and his library rivals that of the late
John LaFarge in interest.
Mr.. Fields proves as a collector cul-
minated In his enthusiasm for Japanese
color prints. and writing of them In the
catalogue for the sales which are to
occur at the American Art Association.
Frederick w. Gookin, the expert. says:
Hamilton Easter Field collected
Japanese prints and other works of art
because he loved them. He bought
them not for the purpose of forming a
collection but because to be surrounded
by beautiful things was necessity Of
his nature. He wanted them to live
with for their aesthetic charm and spir-
itual uplift. An artist himself and a
creator of beautiful things. he was not,
as many artists are, narrow In his out
look and unable to appreciate the ar
tistic qualities of workssin other fields
than the one he had chosen for his own
activities. Instead he was unusually
catholic In his taste and always ready
to perceive and acknowledge merit
wherever 1t was to be found.
This catholicity Is clearly reflected
in the collection of prints here offered
for sale. Taken as whole, they are
an important and representative lot.
Consider j separately each print has
some distinctive quality that led to its
selection. In some instances, 1t is true.
the appeal was of the special sort that a
bit of fascinating color. or a we'll bal
anced composition. or the dexterous solu-
tion of a problem In technique. or the

Varied Exhibitions
In Many Galleries

In honor OF the visit Of NJ. clemenceau
to this country the house of NJ. Knoedler
q Co. has placed on view an carly por-
trait study OF the great statesman by
Edouard Manet. IL II apparently a
hasty, one sitting study. but one may
not he ire. For one thing there is ever
40 much more In the work than appears
at first glance. The character OF the
future statesman is there--it was
painted when NJ. Clemenceau was young
and probably at the time when he was
an art critic and hobnobbing with the
painters-and the head Ia solidly indi-

for this era. They represent England
so slightly. They ought to be as
typical of present day things in Eng
land as Lloyd George is, or as Poin-
care is in France, but are they?
Orpen's field is portraiture, but in
1t he occupies a restricted space. He
dees men, particularly forceful men,
with sureness, but he has yet to do
poet or a nobleman successfully.
Noblemen are scarcer In England
than they were, but still there are
some, and there are poets too. 1t
will be Orpen's fault If he doesn't
find them. His women are always
barmaids. Barmaids are all right
when they are good barmaids and
worthy of the most agile brush, but
to say the ladies of this period are
all barmaids is calumny. We are not
now living in the period of Charles
the Second.
Augustus John seems to have fad
for gypsies. Gypsies are gorgeous ma
teral. Readers of George Borrow or
Theodore Watts -Dunton thrill at the
mention of them and have periodic
fits, of wishing to forsake "civiliza-
tion"tand join up with the first stroll
ing caravan that comes along. But
this inclination can be quite overcome
by gazing upon a John painting of
gypsies. John makes them seem
tawdry and vulgar. The romance is
altogether missing. Even the human
touch is withheld and the artist is
content to regard them as mere peg
upon, which to hang a Piero-della-
Franciscan composition.
work of Muirhead Bone.
OF this trio Of eminent Englishmen
Muirhead Bone is the one who sounds
most surely the English note. His
landscapes are truly poetic in the best
wordsworthian manner. He draws
most beautifully, but he gives one so
such besides the drawing that IT is
seldom mentioned The Interior of
Church." lent to this exhibition by Mr..
Hesslein,' Is superb. II Is one or the
most mastery drawings by Muirhead
Bone that has crossed the seas.
Wilson Steers Girl at the window
also sounds the English note. but
scarcely with enough force to make
an international reverberation. From
the point of view of news the group
OF twenty lone paintings by Mr.. steer
N the feature OF the collection. Mr..
Steer Is immensely looked up to in
England, and to hear Mr. MacColl talk
of him one might think that Mr.. Steer
is the only artist that England has
produced to date. But over here IL Is
not likely that the public will be
reused to any undue state Of excite
rnent over him. He is a slightly mod
ernized but feebler Constable. He gets
breadth in his landscapes, but, COM
pared with the masters, his work Is
fussy.
Among the other men whose work
in this exhibition will be regarded with
interest are Charles Conder. James
McBey, Walter Sickert. j. j. Shan
non, Henry Tonks. Whistler, Boldini,
Carriere. Degas. Cauguin, Guillaumin,
