Its Relation to the Fate Of
Works Of Art

When the history of art COLLECTING in
America is written, some Of it's most
important pages will touch unon tho
waxing of our material prosperity, the
increase In luxury and, particularly. the
erection of new and more snaciops q
homes. A large percentage of our de-

"Half Draped Figure" sold for $4,000.
In the multitude of exhibitions held
during the winter in New York it is
covers tho walls. He, too, as we'll as
the old master, has his market, and
it is rising one.
Our allusion to the market is de-
liberate. 1t is the place where, as we
have indicated, artist and patron meet.
1t is the place in which we may note
one of the most significant contacts be-
tween art and life. And, noting it, one
may observe the preservative influence
which we emphasized at the outset of
these remarks, the fidelity to sound
principles, which is our insurance
against the subversiveness of modern
ism. Consider in retrospect the period
surveyed above. Can there be any doubt
of its thorough-going progressiveness?
While the American school Of art has
been gaining in strength have not all
the conditions upon which the artist
and the collector rest been grow
Ing In just one direction, toward better
and better things? Look at the history
Of the Metropolitan Museum. Consider
what our various galleries, schools and
clubs have done in the interests of art.

vel0pment In the matter of painting
sculpture, antique furniture, tapestries
bibelots and SO on, is but the reflection
of our architectural growth. 1t was
once said Of an individual that he had
lots of taste and that some Of it was
good. The classical colloquy denotine
what was dubious in our aesthetic his
tory not SO long ago is the one between
the Dragging hostess in a gorgeous
mansion and a guest Of rather NOR
dant wit "This is our Louis Quinze
room" quoth the chatelaine. "What
makes. you think so 2" asked her visitor
There were plenty of errors made when
we began magnificently to furnish" "
But the point to remember is that we
began-and that the errors were, COM
paratively once more, wellnigh neg
ligible. Europe poured a positive ava
lanche of riches into the American
market, which is to say chiefly into
New York. 1t has been gaining in VOL
ume and momentum ever since. Some
idea Of the demand here may be Judged
from the fact that at the Lawrence
sale last year the sum Of $4,000 was
paid for panel of thirteenth century
English glass.
A fashion In decoration has had q
good deal to do with these accretions to
the store Of works Of art In America.
1t largely accounted for the phase Of
our collecting In which the court por-
traits Of the eighteenth century French
and English schools grew conspicuous.
Period paintings entered happily into
the establishment Of period rooms.
Our first adventures among the master
pieces of Rembrandt, Halls and other
artists of the Low Countries were
genuine adventures. They were sue
ceeded, prosaically enough, by transac-
tions in which Reynolds or a Natter
had status not unlike that of an old
cabinet or screen. 1t was not long
however, before the early schools were
cultivated simply and solely for the
sake of the beautiful things they had
produced. One or two collectors had
shown the way. John G. Johnson, in
Philadelphia, had specialized in the
Italian and Flemish primitives for the
love of art, and he won his reward in
seeing his collection of pictures take on
an extraordinary beauty. Henry G
Marquand, in New York, bought with
enthusiasm and wisdom. To his sagac-
ity we owe, for example, the glorious
Vermeer in the Metropolitan Museum,
as we'll as divers other masterpieces
in that institution. Then came super
collectors like Morgan, Altman, Frick
and Widener. They proved the might
lest competitors in the worlds market,
but not the only effective types.
Archer Huntington, less sensationally,
but very potently, entered the field, as
the amazing group of paintings at the
Hispanic Museum attests. Out in Cali

for that. The American art market,
which has become the great art market
OF the world, does not simply absorb
the old masters, it Sits them. This is
proved by the leading motives in the
years we have briefly traversed. We
began scarce forty or fifty years ago
to collect works Of painting and sculp-
turc; we made false start, but our
connoisseurship got it's bearings and
mas from year TO year shown finer dis
elimination. 1t has been accompanied
by immense commercial activity. Look
ing back at the dealers who prevailed
in the 'S0s and zoos, one sees only about
dozen shops, those of Knoedler,
Schaus, Avery, Cottier, Reichardt and
a few others. To-day upper Fifth Ave-
nue. and the adjacent streets are packed
with them. They have kept pace with
every phase of our aesthetic experience.
We have stressed the purchase of the
antique, for this has unquestionably led
in the whole affair, but in recent wears
tho American artist has been fetched
well into the foreground. The tre-
mendous price paid for the "Blue Boy"
New-York tribune., 1922-04-09

and among the dealers Has all this
tended toward good taste or badg The
question answers itself. Moreover, when
you come to look closely into the mat
ter, you sec nothing moro active than
conservatism" than adherence to
wholesome tradition, than belief in
what is normal and sane. Mode ernism,
of late, has broken loose upon the
scene, raising Il disturbance and Gif-
fuslng deleterious elements through
the atmosphere. But to reflect upon
the events of the last half century in
New York is to feel a certain reassur-
ance. They point to good taste which
has not failed us yet They point also
to sterling common sense. America
has passion for learning. 1t will ex-
anime into any new thing. But If the
facts we have touched upon in these
columns show anything they show that
artistically America has had a wonder
full instinct for maintaining a high
standard in art We have too poor an
opinion of ourselves if we fail to real
lze that sober truth.

things of Donatello, of Verrocchio, of

in one room would rival any group in
the public museums of Italy. We have

ing has made its way. Societies for its
reproduction, established in Paris and
London, obtained occasional subscrib-
ers on this side of the water. Ex-
amples of the French school were ten
tatively brought over by far-sighted
dealers, and these souvenirs were the
moro successful because they fell in a
peculiarly harmonious way into as
sociation with the French interiors be-
coming more popular Morgan bought
fine drawings. The Metropolitan
Museum gave increased attention to
them. More dealers perceived their
value. To-day the vogue of the draw
ing is practically established. IT'S dis

as those Of the cult for paintings, but
they form an impressive company. 1t

favorably answered.
Why are we sure? For the reason
that all the phenomena at which we
have been glancing spell an astounding
play of taste, of Judgment, of genuine
artistic wisdom. 1t would doubtless be

An Unbroken Record of
Aesthetic Progress

listen" said Whistler. There
rwsr was an artistic period. There
never was an art-loving nation" 1t is
2 suggestive saying, but specious, and
,,ill In debate. Whether Whistler was
right or not, there is one thing of
which we may be sure-the artist does
rot function in vacuum. Between
him and his period there is some al
lance, if it is only that promoted by
the economic law Of supply and de-
mand Art is, after al, a social thing.
1T is unimaginabls without the artist
it is almost, if not quite, as unimagina-
Bile without the paron. Why, other
wise. speak of it asan element of civ
iliaation? When Svinburne said there
was no such thing as an iparticulate
roet he might have added that there is
no such thing as poet without a
reader New Yorkis not yet, by any
means, Renaissance Florence, but the
history of artin America is largely a
history Of its life. Art has grown here
as the city has gro7n. To say that it
has grown by the poverbial leaps and
bounds is to make very mild state

it came there was n stopping it.

Art Burgla1ies
Some Recent Thefts of Paint.
ings in Italy
By Agnes r. Mackenzie

ROME, March 4.--During the past
week the police have been searching
for two works of art, one a picture by
Teniers, stolen from the Royal Gal
lery in Turin, and the other triptych
stolen from the Church Of St..
Stefano at Bracciano, near Rome. The
Teniers was stolen last Sunday night
andno clew was left. The small paint
ing on wood was taken from its nail
and evidently hidden in the thief's
coat pocket. This could easily be done,
as it was only 6x5 inches. 1t repre-
eents an old man with bellows and a
dog. Unfortunately the director of
the gallery has no photograph by which
the painting can be traced, as for many
years 1t was not considered a genuine
Teniers, but only painting by pupil
An etching of the picture, however,
was made some years ago by Roberto
d'Azeglio for the Royal Gallery at
Turin, and il is a photograph of this
which the police have sent to all the
effort to prevent its export abroad.
The second work of art, the triptych
Of "The Madonna with Saint Dominic
and Saint Catherine" was stolen on
Thursday night, and the police cam
didly admit that they have no hope
of recapturing it. The value of
this work, by Gregorio and Donate
c'Arezzo, is inestimable. Owing to
the care taken in keeping the triptych
covered the colors are as beautiful to-
day as on that day in 1915 when the
artists finished these doors Of cup
board III the sacristy Of convent
The history of the triptych is vague.
Before being placed in the sacristy in
Bracciano it was evidently stolen
from the convent, as tradition states
that it was found in field by farmer
when he was tilling his land. He
brought the panels to the church,
where they have been venerated ever
since as miraculous. Only once year,
on the day Of its feast, was the picture
shown to the people and carried in
procession.
The story Of the theft as told by
the sacristan, Nicola Fontana, nick
named al Fichetto,' throws little light
on the manner in which the triptych
was stolen. When, at 5 o'clock on Fri
day morning, he entered the Church
of the Collegiate to open up for the
early mass he found one Of the side
doors ajar, while just inside he stun
bled over a burglars complete kit Of
tools. His first thought was for the
treasures in the sacristy, as besides
the triptych, there were other holy
pictures Of minor value. He found that
all those which were portable had been
carried away. He rushed to the police,
but several hours had been lost and
though the village arose like one man
to look for the thief he had made good
his escape. Of course, the consulates
abroad in France, Germany, England
and America have been warned and
pictures sent broadcast of the trlptych
and the other paintings Of lesser
value.

SCOUT TRACKS OWN BICYCLE

Bruce L. Cox, a thlrteen-year-old
boy scout of Detroit, woke up one
morning to find his beloved bicycle
missing. A scout knows how to track
and trail" and having first notified
the police of the theft, young Cox set
out to recover the property. He found
the track of the wheel in the moist
earth near the garage. Found also
man's-sized footprints. The footprints
disappeared in the alley. Deduction
No. 2: At this point the man-sized
person began to ride the wheel For
two blocks the amateur Sherlock
Holmes traced the bicycle tracks. At
the door of the private garage the
tracks stopped. Inquiry of the owner:
Anyone put a bicycle in your ga
rage?" "Why, yes" was the answer.
Yesterday d. P. w. workman asked
If he could store some tools here and
today he left a bicycle" 1t was easy
enough to prove the real owners claim
to the wheel. They are still looking
FOR the thief, but Bruce doesn't care
whether they find him or not. He has
the bicycle, thanks to his own keen
mother wit and scout training.

VETERANS SUFFER FROM COLD
Measure offered to Provide Shiverin9
Men With Clothing Now Being
Eaten by Moths.

War veterans are suffering from
the cold IN the very shadow of ware
houses where vast quantities Of sur
plus army clothing lie idle. This
anomalous condition will be righted II
a bill favorably reported in the house
by the military affairs committee Is
passed.
The bill authorizes the secretary of
war TO cooperate with the surgeon
general In providing all disabled vet
Grams under care in government hos
pitfalls and institutions with adequate
clothing and equipment. Thousands
of dollars worth of this material Is
now stored away, inviting moths,
while thousands of former soldiers are
shvering from exposure.
House leaders have demanded a
specal rule for consideration of the
measure. Statements were made on
the floor that II congress could rush
through an appropriation of $2000O,-
600 for starving Russians, 1t ought to
be able to put through simple bill to
help cold service men.
