NEW LONDON. Daniel Miller has started work on
New-York tribune., 1922-03-05

There is, in fact, always special
charm attached to the ea-der canvases
of Degas The inspira 1na of Ingres
seems in them to be peculiarly near at
hand, to be lowering over him, to inter
vene between him and the mordant
spirit which was to deepen in his nature
as he came = contact with TIE css-n.ccl
Partisan world. He is modern, in
tensely modern, as he was. bound to be,
since he was Degas. Yet he clings
somehow to the greater sobriety Of the
old French tradition.
The portrait we have traversed is
the newest and most important item in
the exhibition, but it is accompa MED
by some remarkable things. The pas
tel of Duranty in his study, the por-
trait of 1879, is here, a sparkling piece
of virtuosity, and there are some glori-
GUS drawings, notably the Femme Sc

posed as arrested in his own attitude.
The unframed canvases here and there
are little puzzling; they hardly hint
al the painters own productions.
Though not carried absolutely to
completion-the legs especially, and
the curiously tilted easel obviously
awaiting some rchandling the paint
ing is on the who'll finished. The head
and the right hand are magnihcently
drawn. The painting everywhere has
the quality of touch which discloses
the true Degas. An artist of his
genius unfolds and unfolds as time
goes on. The element of progress is
in his blood. The portrait in Boston,
as we have said, is finer than this But
your man Of genius again is always
your man of genius, even when he is
as young as Degas must have been
when he made this study. And in one
respect he never surpassed this period.
His craftsmanship became broader
gathered speed and gained through the
great artists art Of omission. It was
never in all his life purer, firmer than
in this portrait, or more delicately en-
riched with the distinction Of style.

stimulus it gives TO right thinking on
one of the fundamental aspects of good
art.
The exhibition at the Wildensten gall
lery Of drawings by Miss Rose O'Neill
comes as a belated demonst stration of
the qualities of an artist who long ago
revealed ability. We wcrc n-st made
aware of her gift in the pages Of
"Puck,' TO which she used to contribute
pen drawings of uncommon quality.
The line was strong and flowing The
blacks, which we remember as particu-
larly brilliant, were shrewdly placed.
In those rather distant days Miss
ONeill impressed US as one of the
cleverest technicians going. We have
found none of her early pen drawings
in this exhibition. but hope that few
may be added. They were devoted to
fun making, as We recall them, jolly

self to Paris and developing a particu-
lar interest in portraiture.
He is not usually thought of SIS a
portrait painter. He came to he known
far mora as the celobrant OF ballet
girls and Jockeys. From the outset he
painted pictures, "acsualities.' But if
Degas had stopped palating in 1867, the
year Of his famous Femme aux Mains
Jolptes" in TIE Gardner collection, done
when HI was thirty-three, he would
have came down to same as q descend
ant Of Velasquez in the spaniards own
domain. The big portrait in the pres
ent exhibition has nothing ike the per
New-York tribune., 1922-03-05

accompaniments to jokes The work she
now shows is of very different order.
The hubbling humor characteristic of
her we'll known "Kewpies" is apparent
here and there, but chiefly she is CON
earned with serious issues. The great
god Pan is now her theme. In place
OF her former mundane types she
draws primeval figures, fauns and
nymphs, or man and woman as they
might be envisaged in some wild scene
at the dawn of the world. There is
poetic suggestion rather than state
ment IN her designs. We arc moved
by her romantic fcrvor more than BY
her invention. Despite the plastic
solidity which she gives to her horned
and other figures she seems to deal
rather in moods than in ideas. She Is
sympathetic as far As she goes But
when all is said it is her craftsmanship
rather than anything she has to say
that arrests attention.
it has suffered certain changes since
the old puck" days. Memory may be
at fault, but those drawings come back
to US as marked by line pure enough
TO speak for itself. In few of the
present drawings this trait is revived
More often Miss O'Neill seems to have
adopted q method Of cross Matching not
altogether fortunate, as though she
were feeling her way toward the ey
preston of form instead Of employing
q sure footed, wholly confident method
There are too many meaningless
touches, wasted strokes which obscure
the definition OF fact attempted. The
large contours arc there, but they lose
half their effec. through linear re-
dundancies. 1t is always silly to ask
an artist to be some one other than
herself. Miss O'NeiIl has her own man
ner. But it happens to be one which
threatens to run into mannerism.
Possibly we are the more solicitous
about the needed simplifcation of her
line because her conception Of form is
one we'll calculated to lure her into
the perls of Il formula. II is q curious
conception, suggestive not so much Of
Interrogation Of nature as Of obedience
to some ineradicable parti pris. We
think once more of the old pen draw
ings. The women in them were in
ordinately buxom. Men and women
alike, now as then, for this artist, have
swelling lirnbs, deco chests, heavy
heads. They mny laugh or cry, but

Some examples possibly would move
slowly, but others would sell in great
numbers, and the -shopkeeper would
thus reach satisfactory balance, as
IN other lines Of business. Sooner or
later he would have all the photogra-
ubers in the field on his list and new
ventures would be encouraged. The
artists could well afford to dispense
with the royalties they might be in
,ljned to impose, but which would han

Good Taste
Its Effects in Mrs. l.. ". Hale's
Pictures

Delicacy as an artistic trait may
have q variety Of springs. II may
come from refinement OF drawing, it
may come from a fastdious sense of
color, it may come from a habit of
mind. All these elements, and more,
are disccrnible in the individuality Of
Mrs Lillian Westcott Hale, who is max
ing an exhibition at the Arlington
gallery. She has an unusually rich
equipment, and the most interesting g
from it of any indication that she is
disposed unduly to press a single one
of her qualities. Take, for example,
"The North Wind Doth Blow" in which
figure in white is painted against q
cold outdoor light. 1t is the kind Of
tour de force in which the technical
problem would so absorb most painters
Of Mrs. Hale's type that they would
leave the figure go much still life. She
sees her subject as whole. and even
while we are taken captive by her
sheer cleverness we feel something in
the picture that is more than clever,
something of life itself.
If she falls into sophistication amy
where it is in her drawings, portraits
carried out with perhaps too neat
precision. Craftsmanship 50 cx-
ceedingly polished does not invariably
wear we'll. Grace so finished threatens
to deliquesce into mere prettiness
One Graves little more breadth in the
drawings, as one does in the land
scapes. But there remains that delcacy
to which we have alluded, the delicacy
that is of the spirit, supporting manual
dexterity and enriching it, 1t invests
Mrs. Hale's painting with a positive
fragrance. The two canvases bearing
the same title, "Votive Offering,
studies of ivory tinted sculptures, have
the very loveliness Of the Renaissance
motives on which they are based
True tenderness is in them. There ID
tenderness, too, in the portrait of a
woman (No. 81 study in black which
is one of tho most appealing works Of
