Washington. April 10.-Hearings OF
the house labor committee on the ma
tional coal strike were concluded today
for a time at least. AT which labor
Spok eSmen denied charges concerning
union contract being a factor in the

were no plans at present for a further
Investigation Of the strike. but the
committee will meet Wednesday IN
executive session to act on the Bland
bin. which would set up federal coal
commission TO deal with such situa-
tons.
Witnesses today included Edgar
Wallace, labor federation executive
agent. and a member Of the miners
union: John Hessler. president, and
William Mitch, secretary OF the lndr

somehow more gracious. He adds to
the classical tradition something akin
to "the Gorreggiosity of Correggio, I"
that melting tenderness which, when 1T
escapes sentimentality, is one of the
most entrancing things in the world.

the elegance Of the earlier eighteenth
century come back, poetized, endued
with more of the fresh loveliness of
spring, more of the glamour of ro-
nance. He knew nothing Of that rich
breadth which Watteau took over from
Rubens. Where he was allied ia the
painter OF "The Departure for the
Island Of Love" was in his passion for
the beauty that is feeting, diaphanous,
fairy-like. The drawing we have just
cited is one of his masterpieces, one
in which his fusion Of classical motive

Partisan designer Leonetto Cappiello
They are vivid, amusing pieces, full OF
movement and color. Cappiello lacks
the element which has played so large
part in the art of the French poster,
that chic in craftsmanship which has
meant so much in the work of men
like Cheret, Willette and the rest. He
hasn't an atom Of style as it was under
stood by Steinlen or Toulouse Lautrec.
His line wants fuidity and elegance.
On the other hand it is not without
vitality, and 1t is peculiarly expressive
Of the humor which is his leading merit
There is an abundance of the truest
gayety to counterbalance the somewhat
heavy-handed method he practices. And
his color, though without distinction, is
undeniably telling.

| handled luminosity. The figure, though
only of mild interest, is stronger than
that in his other canvas, a study Of a
nude against landscape background.
T he nudes are not. on the whole, exhil-
arating. Mr.. Il. c. Taylor's "Allegory
OF Painting" is handsomely conceived
aud well drawn in an academic way, but
the modelling is nerveless. One re-
spects this, and the studies of Messrs.
Eassam, Frieseke, Jones, Low and Far
low, without developing any warmth in
appreciation of competent but unin-
soired productions. The nude with
the most energy and cieverness shown
in its workmanship is the picture by
Miss Gertrude Fiske (No. 344), which
has well won the Julia A. Shaw me-
mortal prize.
The portraits include some good

our characteristic desire to achieve y
reasonable technique. There goes with
it the conception of work of art as
something truthful and pleasing. There
are any number Of agreeable pictures
on these walls. If there are none that
take US by storm we are not surprised
or distressed. As we have said before,
that kind of picture is extraordinarily
rare anywhere. This is transitional
epoch. Art. like some other things,
could do with more leadership. Mean
while fidelity to fundamental ideals is
immensely reassuring, and there the
autumn Academy is cheeringly repre-.
sentative of American painting. Things
are evidently better here than they arc

Prud'hol,
How He Enriched the Classical
Tradition

The Prud'hon exhibition at the Will.
denstein gallery is an ideal one of it's
kind. 1t is small, and it is shown in a
small, we'll appointed room It has Just
the intimate atmosphere which is best
suited to the genius of this artist.
Though he lived in an era that
thought good deal Of the grand
style, he was himself not so much
for grandeur as for charm. That
is Prud'hon's special gift, the envelop-
ment of his themes in a gracious,
subtly endearing air. Touch was
everything with him. He was musical,
lyrical, the master of an essentially
tender and fragile quality. In this
little collection Of about dozen pieces
he is seen actually at full length, in
portraiture, in the treatment Of the
nude and in the role of craftsman
pure and simple. Whatever he does is
eloquent of the same romantic lowell
ness, the same charm.
Fully to appreciate Prudhon you
must have some sense of his back
ground. You must see him in that
period which marks the transition from
the eighteenth century to the nine
teenth, from the old regime to the Ma
poleonic. The decorative spirit of the
court of Louis XVI has died out. The
classical severity of David has come in.
The moment is one for the antique vir-
tues. Prud'hon has them, in a meas
ure. He has positively pagan delight
In form. He has the academician's
feeling for stately composition. But
there is poetic instinct struggling
about in him. He would be a classicist
only he happens to, have been born a
romanticist. SO he filters the formulas
of David through his temperament,
looks at the nude not as at marble in
a museum, but through rose colored
spectacles, which leave it with the ami
nation Of life heightened and made

ege, somebody paints we'll and throws

is one of these mild benefactors. Miss
Helen Turner is another. Look at "The

and background in beauty of tone, a

Relston Keeler, and the "Winter
New-York tribune., 1922-11-19

Quiet" by Mr.. Harry Leith Ross. Both
these artists suggest that they have
taken leaf from the book of the late
j. Fl. Twachtman. 1T is not that they
echo his style. but that they emulate
his freedom from convention, have
something of his feeling for delicate,
evanescent beauty.
There are, as always, many excellent
landscapes in the show, landscapes like
Mr.. Ernest Albert's charming "Water-
fall" but, thanks to the generosity Of
the hanging committee, they are ball
anced by more figure pieces than have
hitherto disputed the predominance Of
ctr most proficient group. Some Of
them are capital performances. We
may cite '"The Mountain Girl" in which
Mr.. Carlton S. Chapman tackles a
theme unfamiliar to him, we believe
There is delightful freedom and swing
in his treatment of form. The whole
canvas is vitaized. We are attracted,
too, by the "Flicker and Stare" of Miss
Hilda Belcher. The emphasis is placed
on the odditity of the subject, but
there is some skillful painting in
the picture. Mr.. Hassam's "Sun
Room,' an interior with a figure, is
chiefly admirable for its beautifully

terry and jade. The jade, by the way,
is of that excessively antique order
which was practically unknown here
until the late Charles l.. Freer began
to collect it. 1t is all beautiful, but
We must signalize especially the simple
Ming bowl (No. a9) with its red-veined
surfaces. An object like this has the
fascination Of a rare jewel Rarities,
OF course, abound in this collection,
pieces like the remarkable granary urn
(No 60) or the quaint ox-drawn cart
(No 6D. The exhibition is largely Of
museum pieces, a fact which we feel
with particular force when in the
presence of the sculpture. There are
some magnificent Buddhas shown, be-
glrning with the majestic head (No.
aG), which SO exhales divine serenity
that it turns the little room in which
it is placed into sanctuary.
In the midst of these ANTIQUE visions
there looms up, among other paint
ings an early portrait of an emperor
which might have been executed yes
terday, so poignantly modern is it's
transcription of life. The stalwart
body, tn marital pose, the powerful
head are drawn with the vigorous SIM
plicity of Manet. But neither Manet
in the nineteenth century nor the
Andrea del Castagno who is recalled
from the Renaissance by this stu
pendous portrait could have achieved
the monumental mass and weight that
the Chinese artist secures. 1t is an
heroic thing and as beautiful as it is
imposing. Verify the old Oriental ira
dition has an accent which centuries
have not quite matched in the West.
But the West has it's own magic.
Upstairs at the Reinhardt gallery
there is one of the most flashing ex-
amples of Venetian bravura ever
brought to this country, a canvas Of
Tiepolo's representing him in the very
plenitude Of his maestria. 1t is u sub
iect drawn from the antique, "Alex-
ander with, the Wife of Darius" but
Tiepolo in his wonted operatic way
dresses up his subject as for a pag-
cant on the lagoons. He let's himself
go as regards color, dipping his brush
generously in flaming red and honey
yellow. His technique matches his
palette. 1t is brilliance itself. Never
did he paint with more virtuosity than
In this picture. 1t is pure Tiepolo,
hollow as drum and altogether
adorable.
