Is an inclination to reproach this or
that person who might have made the
young mans life easier. This is an
exaggeration of sentiment that can be
understood, although there seems to be
but slight grounds for 1t in fact. He
had undoubtedly the usual difficulties
of all young artist in getting proper
recognition. but possibly he would have
been the first to dsclaim them in life.
He met with a certain amount of re-
claim at his first exhibition and finally
secured orders for mural decorations
that older men than he would have en-
We'd him. There Is, however, sufficient
tragedy in the evident fact that in the
last months OF his life his work had
taken on an astonishing increase of au-
thority and pointed to an important
career
Mr.. Thevenaz's interest in dancing
seems to have had beneficial effect
upon his art. He had a charming sense
of humor a command over fantasy, and
his color was sure, but the thing that
stood out in his last drawings was
the rhythm of them This was so pro-
rounced that there is almost the nee
essity to praise them in musical terms
His exhibition is meeting with much
success and the red stars on the frames,
indicating sales, are plentiful.

Paintings of the
West, by Sandzer

Those who have encountered chance
paintings of Birger Sandzen in the ex-
hibitions will have a higher opinion of
the artist after q visit to his show in
the Babcock Galleries, for he is one of
those who makes his own atmosphere
AMI revels in it.
He comes out of the West via Sweden
He studied with Zorn and Bergh in the
Art Students League at Stockholm, and
after a sojourn in Paris came to the
States. becoming professor OF languages
and art In the Bethany College at Linds-
borg. Kan. Since 1871 the West has
claimed him. He paints with fiery, tenn
pestuous colors quite unlike those of any
native who has gone West to paint
AS Il rule, the glare of light In the
Sierras and among the Rockies makes
them blink. and they mix so much white
in their color to get the light that by
DE time they get back East they give
the impression there is no color at all in
the West. But Mr.. Sandzen is different
He says there Is more color than light
He defles the Colorado Canyon to do its
worst, knowing he has more vermilion
in his color bcv than nature herself can
afford TO spend upon sunsets.
1t Is all very vehement, very splendid
and very Western. The only queer part
about II Is that Mr.. Sandzen comes
here from Europe with European
training and proceeds to yawp the way
Walt Whitman says we should yawp.
Walt, | believe. didn't care much who
yawped so long as somebody yawped
and, after all, twenty-five years or ii
ought to make Mr.. Sandzen Westerner.
Christian Brintian supplies the bio
lot 81 l,a ta1
He says of Mr.. Sandzen that though
he began painting in the Smoky River
district near Lindsborg. it was during
the summers spent at the family farm
stead in Graham county that Burger
Sandzen grasped the essential signifi-
canoe of Western landscape. Wild Horse
Creek, with it's tawny sandstonet banks
seen in the flush Of afternoon or the
suffused glow of evening, with the moon
stealing up behind the scattered cotton
wood trees. was the first artistic motif
that Sandzen made definitely his own.
This was the esthetic microcosm out OF
which he evolved the mastery OF after
years.
Despite his routine duties as pre-
ceptor, and certain heavy domestic re-
sponsibiities, Burger Sandzen gradually
extended his sphere of interest and ac-
tivity Flat or gently undulant Kansan
prairies have been succeeded by trips to
Colorado, chiefly in the vicinity of Man
itou, to Arizona and to New Mexico
where the coloration Is more radiant and
fantastic. and where he sketches along
the Rio Grande or among the fateful
cliff hailowed cities that died of fear.
And California, with Its immemorial ce-
dars. seuuoias and shimmering sea
narge, has likewise been visited by the
insatiate wanderer, who, during single
summer. will cover hundreds of miles
in passionate quest of sympathetic sub
ject."

The Song of Solomon

Elderly people of a pious turn of mind

stress upon the Song of Solomon. They
themselves have glanced at it. of course,

the least satisfactory phases in the life
of that great philosopher. Solomon. In

give an additional charm to color
schemes which are at once entirely her
own and entirely sympathetic with her
picturesque Italian surroundings and the
life Of the eighteenth century. NO one
can examine her pictures without appre-
ciating her genius for composition and
arrangement of figures. landscapes. and
architectural accessories and without
realizing the attractiveness and beauty
of her schemes of color. Emma Ciardi
has also devoted herself largely to stu
dies OF Venice which exhibit interest
ing survivals of the methods and color
schemes of the eighteenth century
painter, Guardi.
The remaining pictures OF the Italian
group are of great interest and among
them is the large landscape by Segantini
shown some time ago at the museum
also a group of four pictures by Camille
Innocent which were shown at the san
Francisco Exposition, and subsequently
by the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh.
Among the other artists represented are
Belloni. Tito, Mancini. Spinnelli. Cas-
ciaro, and Fornara. The estate of A. a.
Healy. who was for twenty-five years
president of the Brooklyn Institute OF
Arts and Sciences. has contributed
largely to the exhibition.
The Metropolitan Museum has just
purchased Lynn Jenkins's bronze statue

Memorial to Art
Of Paul Thevenaz

The late aul Thevenaz, whose me-
mortal show occupies the Arts Guild Gal
leries. was singularly gifted. He was
still young at the time of his death
last spring and the superb promise of
the drawings he was working upon and
left unfinished indicate that modern art
In his death has had heavy loss.
Mr.. Thevenaz was born In Switzer-
land and subjected there to rigid train
Ing extending over period of six years.
The training was either wise or lucky
in his case, since It gave him knowl-
edge without quenching his unusual en-
thusiasm. He came to this country and
was identified with a school for some
sort of expression through rhythmic
dancing and at once began to make
friends. His must have been a mag
netic personality for in the few years
of his career here his friends were
legion and important.
There is a whispered tendency just at
present to make a martyr out of the
dead young man. Now that the full
beauty of his work may be. seen there
