as we have indicated, that modernism
has strengthened its hold, in some
quarters at least. On the other hand.
~ would be foolish to make too much
OF the influence Of this episode upon
the things in this country for which
the lover Of beauty cares. Though time
may be needed to show how far the
historic standards really are in peril.

CUR leading collectors were involved.
ana we happen to know also that many
OF the items sold were purchased Tor

coilccted by a shrcwd observer at the
exhibition may be cited here as show

period cf disfavor which the jmpros-
sonists had to endure, as though il
were proof positive that mistaken op-
position in one case implied mistake in
opposition forever. Because the In
quisltion was unjust to Calico we
must receive with open arms every
crank who "discovers" perpetual mo-
ton. The impressionsts and the mod
ernists are not in the same boat be-
cause Of any misunderstanding on the
part of their contemporaries. They
sail different courses because. as we
never tire of pointing out one group
used a compass and the other rejects
that instrument. The Albert Andre ex-
hbltion at the DurandRuel gallery
vividly rcatllrms the validity of the
compass.
Obviously he has from the beginning
been allied with the prcssionists-
sensitive, that is. to the things they
emphasize. He was the friend of Re
aor. but not his imitator. He simply
-ook over the impressionist hypothesis
{ light and air, its way of handling
movement, and textures. But, like the
pressionists, he remains faithful to
the historic tradition. His big "Pay-
sage avec Baigneuses" is q perfect
illustration of the point In design, in
feeling, in its whole translation OF the
nude from a naturalistic into deco
rative motive, this picture harks back
to Poussin, or even to Giorgionc.
Nevertheless, it is an absolutely mod
ern work of art, realistic in essence, its
charm derived from the study of life
itself and not from any academic for
mulas. Like Manet in his famous "Dc-
jeuner,' he fuses composition as the
old masters understood it with the pas
sion for "actuality" Characteristic Of
our own time. 1t is amusing to sec
how this peculiarly decorative compost
ton falls into harmony with the land
scapes. the street scenes, the studies Of
still life and flowers, all the varied
stuff of NJ. Andres art. No matter
what ne is painting, he remembers
principles Of construction. 1t is a great
virtue and, though he is not by any
means master. it keeps his work on a
sairly high plane
Mr.. Harry Lachman. at the Widen
stein gallery, is another shillful prac-
tltloner Of sane impressionism He
has painted much in France and Italy
In France, especially, he has studied
romantic architecture, the high piled
chateaux of the Renaissance and thc
Middle Ages, and lie treats the subject
with charmingly picturesque touch.

oughgoing, if perhaps dry skill, with
which he puts his compositions to-
gethcr. few of his titles will indi-
cate the richness of his characteristic
themes "Tivoli,' "Villa dEste. /"
"Chautcau Gaillard." The last cnchant-
ment of these lovely scenes is miss

mans brush. But ali that may lie in
the accurate statement Of we'll

There is one surprise this week. of
fcred by Mr.. Charles W. Hawthorne. at
the Gallerie lntimc. He appears in the
character Of the portrait painter. We
have been more or less aware Of him
in that role before especially when he
has shown certain studies of children
or young girls. But never hitherto have
we even imagined him as a profos-
sional painter of portraits In a sense
we are freed from the obligation to
consider him in that status now. There
is nothing professionalized. nothing
conventional, about these canvases.
Evidently he paints a portrait as he
paints picture, making q new adven-
ture out Of each problem. Sometimes
the result is altogether happy. Some
times it does not quite come off But
he is never mediocre, never dull His
color is original and brilliant The
pose of his sitter, though occasionally a
little too studied, is as a rule interest
ing. The leading merit in the show is
the beautiful craftsmanship mark
ing practically all the heads and in two

of style. The delicate luminosity that
goes with his good drawing is another

things that this archaeological tend
ency should be strong. 1t is amongst
the old treasures of the Muesum that
the designers find their inspiration.
The result may be sitting of creative
energy, but we cannot altogether re-
grct it, inasmuch as emulation of the
past at any rate seems TO foster a
sense OF proportion and to develop re
iinemcnt, and even feeling for beauty.
IN due course this campaign Of some
thing like imitation will lead to more
free and idiomatic handling of the his
toric styles. MEANWHILE it is fostering
az racrdinarily fine technique. Our
Industrial artists are finished workmen
If they are nothing else. We can afford
