Latest Landscapes
BY Allen Tucke,

The Montross Galleries are showing
the latest landscapes and portraits by
Allen Tucker until January 81. Mr..
fuckers style has undergone no change
since his last exhibition, unless II be
that 1t lays still bolder emphasis upon
color Color and light are the media
through which nature speaks TO this
artist. He puts n heavier impasto upon
the canvas than Monet ever thought Of.
evidently in the endeavor to make the
paint say more than 1t will. In the one
called Bakers Island" there is the
scene. familiar enough to those who
know shore and sea. of n glare upon the
evening waters that makes them seem
quite molten. IL would seem to some
people unpaintabie. and is unpaintabie
to those who would pile light paint upon
light paint In the effort to force the
glare. Monet got such effects with far
less expense In the matter OF paint and
nerve tissue by holding his lights con-
siderably In reserve.
The case OF Van Gogh. who has mad
considerable influence upon Mr. Tucker,
was different. 1t is n matter of historic
scandal that he squeezed the paint in
untouched strcaks upon certain pictures
of tree trunks. In the desperate desire 20
make them as tangible as those in
nature, but he didn't pile paint upon
paint in order to get light. He got light
through judicious manipulation of
values. In the Bakers Island" there
seems to be veil Of paint between the
spectator and the artists thought. BY
forcing oneself TO peer through Il. and
by seeking a propitious view point, one
finally perceives the painters intention
and sympathizes with It. But the sus-
piclon fingers that there was a great
deal Of hard work. both for the painter
and the public, that was unnecessary.
What Is said OF the landscapes ap-
plies equally to the figure pieces. This
pigment becomes 80 thick under the
artists brushes that IL appears to have
been an embarrassment TO the artis..
The struggle with the texture OF the
robes in certain Instances has been so
severe that there was no vitality left to
illuminate the faces. Tho design. how
ever. is always good in both figure and
landscape, and the color in itself is
rich.

Paintings of Streets
In New England

Perhaps because they could not help
ture have accepted the new. Every
body here lives, when they can, in
new houses and the newest hotels.
The regular New Yorker even when
he goes to the country lives in a new
house. One of the recent distin-
guished visitors from England took
UP residence for the length of his
stay in New York in an out of the
way district, hoping to secure the
comfort and quiet of the out of the
way Eotels in London. but soon found
that he would have to give it up and
moved into the newest structure that
the city boasts. Liking may be a
tion. New Workers, including our
greatest millionaires, have been so
shifted from pillar to post with each
ten years that now it has become a
habit. We step lively and move on
even before we are told to.
It is impossible to feel toward new
house. no matter how perfect IL may
be hygienically, as one would feel
toward the home of ones ancestors.
There is more TO a building than brick
and cement. The brick and cement
are not the elements that stir most
the fancy of the imaginative painter
or poet. The Frenchman. for in
stance. who might paint the Porte st.
Martin, would work with an entirely
different feeling from the American
who might feel inspired to paint the
new apartment houses just back of
the Grand Central Terminal.
This is not to be an argument for
the Identification of New York city
nor for the control of the sky line or
anything like that. 1t is to be merely
n notice for the exhibition of Felicie
Waldo Howell's paintings OF old New
England streets, now on view in the
Macbeth Galleries. Miss Howell has
been finding material in the streets Of
old Salem. in Newburyport. Marble
head and Ipswich that makes at least
one New Yorker Jealous. Why can
not we have streets that artists may
paint In love and reverence? is the
predominant feeling that this jealous
one brought away from the exhibition.
We can. but the answer Is too long to
be incorporated into a simple little
review of a collection Of paintings by
an obscure artist.
Miss Howell is obscure In the sense
that the man In the street and the
members OF our Board of Aldermen
have never heard of her. but she is
less obscure TO her fellow painters now
that she has painted these New Eng
land streets than she was before. She
has indeed been noticeably gaining
ground during these last few years
until now IL is difficult to think of
woman landscapist In America who
matches her. She has increased cour
age In the use of color and dares to
make tree foliage black upon occasion
without seeming affected. but her chief
asset is the consecrated enthusiasm

Notes and Activities
In the World of Art

The Durand-Ruel Galleries have from
the beginning been the guardians of
Claude Monet. and 1t still seems possible
for them to arrange almost annual eA-
hibitions of his work--in spite OF the
great fame that has distributed his can
vases to the four corners OF the earth.
The time was when the Philistines VINO
now weep when they think OF Matisse
wept when they thought OF Monet, but
even the PhiIistines require fresh SUBJ
Jects to weep over and now nobody weeps
over Monet. He provides some tests

est people and one must have learned

.DecOme custom 10 the advantage Oh
all concerned. It is somewhat diff
ficult in the mass of the Architec-
|tural League exhibition to single out
Findiyidual architects or firms, and
the recognition as an artist is the
thing an architect is entitled to, and
it is thing that in the end helps the
Ppublic.
\ Criticism at second hand from photo
graphs is as dangerous in the case of
architecture as it is for sculpture or
painting, but fortunately in the pres
ent instance it is not necessary, since
4 Walker and Gillette have already won
\ a fixed place in the front rank Of the
local architects. All of their work is
informed by good taste and the search
/ for the picturesque never leads them
into extravaganza.
Most of the photographs are Of Sec
tions or corners of certain great coun-
Etry seats recently erected, but in all Of
them apparently the architects have
been helped by interesting sites, the
charm of which they have known how
\ 10 protect. Great trees bend over the
\ courtyards and terraces, lilies bloom
in the ponds and flower beds lend their
color. Europeans seeing these photo
graphs would be surprised at first
| glance at our American magnifcence
and might suspect for a moment they
were viewing a transcript from some-
thing Old World. But only for a mo-
ment, since in spite Of the evident
quotations from the European scene
the atmosphere that Walker and
Gillette manage to evoke remains ma
tive.
Some Of the estates that contribute
to the exhibition are Peacock Point,
H. p Davison's place on Long Island;
Sherwood Anderson's residence, Plant
ing Fields. and the residences of Fl.

j.. c. Hanna at Cleveland, Ohio.

But otherwise Alexander Brook Is
