Artists Palettes and Personalities
BY FREDERIC J. HAsklh

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IL
Palettes of a number Of famous art
lists of the nineteenth century, collected
by the late George A. Lucas. of Balti-
more, are on display at the Corcoran
Art Gallery here.
Two little oblong pieces Of wood,
besmeared with dark daubs OF paint,
are souvenirs of Camille Corot, the
celebrated French painter OF land
scapes. Visitors to the collection lin
ger before these wooden plaques i'm
agining how Corot must have chosen
from them the colors for some OF his
famous woodland scenes. They are
told that one Of these palettes-the
one with little red seal bearing Cor
OTIS signature In one corner-was an
outstanding feature of interest at a
French salon exhibition some years
ago. After Corot's death, a friend rev.
erently took this palette to his studio,
along with Corot's pipe and one OF
his picturesque red and white Nor
mandy caps worn on sketching trips.
Constant Troyon, who is now re-
garded as the painter who has best
| understood cows and has painted them
with the most sympathy, Is also rep
resented by palette in the Lucas col.
lection. Daubigny, Jules Breton and
| Charles Boughton are among the other
well konwn painters whose palettes
were presented to the American con
| noisseur.
1t is an unusual collection. A paint
er's pallettes ordinarily are cherished
by his family or thrown away as mere
discarded tools of no Importance OF
value. Yet palette is the most per
| sonal belonging of an artist. 1t is per
haps too much to say that the charac
ter of the artist may be read in the
paint he smears on his palette, but
artists say that the palette of Coro
or Millet Is lesson in the man:

was supposed to be STEPPED In the
classic atmosphere Of Greece and
Italy.
The amazement of the French pub
lie at the French landscapes was
something like that of our own mod
ern public when it discovered recently
that novels descriptive of mid-western
life might be taken seriously, and that
all American literature need not bear
a New York stamp. People nowadays
are less frightened by new ideas and
revolts than they were In the France
Of the nineteenth century. Artists and
public alike held out strongly against
Millet with his toll worn peasants.
Troyon with his endless studies OF
cattle, and Corot with his French for.
ests which bore little resemblance to
any reasonable Italian landscape.
The source Of inspiration for these
artists, and number Of others who
were non-conformists like them, was
the little French village Of Barbizon
where they worked at their painting
From their association with this will
age a group of painters came to be
known as the Barbizon school, and
also as 'the men of thirty" because
1t was about 1880 that the Barbizon
school came into prominence
In 1926 two painters got lost in the
forest Of Fontainebleau, and wandered
to the village of Barbizon where they
spent the night with peasant. The
next morning they were so enrap
tured over the peaceful beauty of thu
remote hamlet and the entrance to the
forest nearby that they immediately
bargained with the peasant for board

GRATED palette is the greatest attrac-

treasured as a priceless souvenir, 1t
is difficult to imagine that this French
