THE FORUM
GAINSBOROUGH

Every one is familiar with the Little
Boy Blue. Indeed, we might say
that we We're brought up with him
from infancy, for Mother Goose's Melo-
dies belong to the literature Of the
nursery. Our childish imagination en-
joyed painting that landscape of mead
ow, corn, sheep and COWS, down to
the foreground of the Little Boy Blue
under the haycock fast asleep. By
the means of those imaginary colors,
we had a pastoral landscape CORE
spending in a measure to similar sub
jects that have sprung from the hand
of that genius called Painting, to whom
Campbell alludes as the "serenely
silent art"
But there is another Blue Boy, al
/ though he is not part of the household
like our dear little sleephead, yet COP
les of his picture are familiar to all
of us. We read that Gainsborough's
painting of the Blue Boy" owes its
fame not from its merit as a portrait
but because the young son of Mr..
Buttall was painted dressed entirely in
blue, to contradict Reynolds theory
that blue was not proper color to
use broadly in a picture.
Thomas Gainsborough was born al
Sudbury in Suffolk, in 1921 and died
| in 17SS. A biographical article says
/ of him that Mature was his teacher
and the woods of Suffolk his academy
Here he would pass in solitude his
youthful days in making sketches OF
an old tree, marshy brook, a few
cattle, a shepherd and his flock, OF
any other accidental objects that were
| presented. From Sudbury he went to
| London, where he commenced portrait
| painting. Gainsborough considered his
portraits superior to his landscapes
or fancy compositions, but posterity
has reversed his judgment and marked
| him as the first and best of English
landscapists.
Gainsborough also excelled in genre
subjects, as is evident in his Cottage
