when he in company with two FEEDER

scotch being transported in a Chew
rolet roadster which was well shot to
pieces when the operator tried to es-
cape the officers. The shots of the Of

ride into Irasburg village that the
driver of the Chevrolet took leg bail
for the woods leaving his car and
contents for his pusuers. evidently

On Saturday Mr.. Clark decided he

Of them both in the fneness of his
touch and, above ali, in the beauty
with which he invests his delicate

in emotion. He has, we believe, been

here and there, those of earlier mas
ters. The wonderful "Portrat OF a
Lady lent by Smith College, is Flor
entine in line, but in its sumptuous
tones, in the whole opulence OF its
beauty, it recalls the glow or the
Venetian school. In color, as in the
arrangement Of form, the later works
point decisively to contact with the
Renaissance masters. The low key of
his beginnings is persistent for years,
but the tints grow warmer after q
while, and occasionally. as in the
"Mother and Child" from the Brook
lyn Museum. an almost blonde note
prevails. Of luminosity in the modern
impressionistic sense there is nowhere
any trace. In his light Brush adheres
to the restraint of the old masters. He
is a studio painter, not an outdoor
man, despite his Indian subjects of
long ago. With his still airs. his
reverential drawing, his calm, and his
ordered beauty, he remains, no doubt,
a conservative. But it is amusing to
think of the disparagng turn which
would be given to the phrase in its
application to him by your latter day
"modcrnist.' 1t spells, OF course, only

behind him arc murmurous with the
sweet life of the forest.
THE Sculptor and tho King which
dates from about the same period, is
more markedly in the manner of Gcrome
and throws into sharper relief the
academic nature of Brush's earlier
draughtsmanship. But it was possibly
the plastic Implications Of the subject
that kept his line little hard, little
inhexible. Breadth was not by any
means beyond his reach His "Leda," "
which was painted as far back as 1889. is
touched with a beautiful case and free
dom. Curiously. the big "Andromcda"
represented hero by preliminary study,
work of recent years, is compara-
lively inelsstic performance. 1t is
tempting to go on in trsversal of
Brush's Indians aud nudes. but, brilliant
as they have often been. they nevcrthe-
less arc suhordnatcd to another theme
in his annals. Like his friend Thayer.
he has dedicated his major energies to
tho Interpretation Of womanhood and
childhood. Unlike Thayer. who wa al
ways racily American in his art. Brush
has preserved, subtly but unmistakably
certain alliance with the historic
schools. We well remember the strange
and beautiful impression he left when
his first Mother and Child" came into
view. 1t had an old masterish mellow
ness and depth. There was not the
smallest hint of imitation, but one was
conscious Of an unspoken kinship be-
tween Brush and such q painter, say, as
Terburg. The color scheme he adopted
then was very low in key. The figures
were seen almost in shadow. They
loomed forth as warmly sympathetic
human creatures, pensve and serene,
simple in costume and in attitude, not
so posed as to suggest the Madonna
type, but with an atmosphere of sacred
ness hanging about them. Technically,
the earliest of these canvases proclaimed
the merits which Brush has ever since
maintained, the merits of dignihed COM
position, pure tone and exquisite
drawing.
How exquisitely he can draw may be
seen from the studies of form and
drapery which fill one end of this cx-
hibition. Observing his mastery over
the fold Of a robe, his uncanny skill
in the linear expression of it, one
thinks of the drawings of Leonardo
and Durer. In the definition of form
he is less impressive. There he is
