Henri Burkhard's Modern
Art Seen at Montross's

The work of Henri Burkhard, now to
be seen in the Montross Galleries. will
be viewed by the younger artists with
interest and with considerable respect.
1t is difficult to describe the work but
perhaps IL l say that it seems TO be the
product of a pupil of Walt Kuhn's, who
hapens to be endowed with natural.
Whistlerian softness of touch, 1t will
give the idea.
Mr.. Burkhard seems not to have set
tied as yet into permanent style. He
submits flower pieces and figures with
landscapes, all of them in agreea BILE
color. One of his most attractive can
vases Is called Truro" which shows
man plowing with an OK upon hill,
houses here and there. and many graves

gether. too. into a positive decoration.
This and the picture called Souvenir"
have the charm of the best old samplers.
There is quality in these two pictures
that indicates that Mr.. Burkhard Is an
artist worth watching.
In the series devoted to various
groups of "Bathers," the results have
not been SO happy. Mr. Burkhard has
approached the theme many times with
out varying his viewpoint much. Like
The New York herald., 1922-12-31

Picasso in the long series OF still lifes
devoted to expositions of the violin, he
must have felt that in the first one OF
the series there had been some portion
of his feeling left out When painter
wrings all the emotion possible out of a
subject he passes on to something else.
The flower pieces all have personal
accent. The much abused word "artis-
tic describes them. They have been
grouped after unexpected formulas into
pleasing panels. But that Mr.. Burkhard
Is mod.rnist. his flower pictures might
give pleasure to wide public, but,
openly avowing modernism as he does
in his "Bathers'' series. there will be
some to look upon them askance. In
fact, there were two ladies'. no longer
young. in the galleries at the time OF my
visit who were shaking their heads in
CONSERVATION at the flower pieces. That
is why / thought 1t necessary to dis
tinctly address these few remarks to the
younger portion of the congregation.

Museums Concerts Resumed

For the fifth season the Metropolitan
Museum OF Art will present In its Fifth
Avenue Hall two series of orchestral
concerts free to the public. AS in pre-
vious years the concerts will be given
on Saturday nights in January and
March and will be conducted by Dayid
Names. The orchestra of fifty-fohr
players is drawn from New Yorks two
important symphony bands.
Although at the time the concerts
were introduced the director, Edward
Robinson and the trustees of the Muse
UNI did so only as an experiment. the
public has been so appreciatlve of the
excellent programs presented. as shown
in the constantly increasing audiences
numbering at times 10000, that II Is
now the hope of Mrs. Robinson to secure
an endowment which will make possible
the inclusion of these concerts In the
permanent work Of the Museum
Among those who contributed in the
past to make these musical evenings
possible are John D. Rockefeller, Jr,
Robert w. de Forest, Henry Walters
Edward s. Harkness. Arthur Curtiss
James and Michael Friedsam. Mr.
Rockefeller again has contributed toward
this seasons concerts and the JuiIiard
Musical Foundation is contributing this
season for the first time.
This Foundation says Mr.. Robin
son In the Museums Bulletin, has only
recently begun its active work. and one
of its first appropriations was the sum
OF $4,000 toward defraying the ex-
penses Of this seasons concerts In the
Museum as being, in the words OF one
Of Its trustees, Just such work as Mr.
Juilliard had in mind when he made
provision for aid for good music for
the public without cost to the public
