" HE Phillips Memorial Gallery
announces the acquisition of
two new masterpieces of
Il French painting. ''Revolu-
tion," by Honore Daumier,
perhaps the largest painting by this
master and pronounced by Arsene
Alexandra the most important and
the most impressive work we know
and are ever likely to know of Dau-
mier's," and The Rocks at Ornans-
Afterglow," which is again as incon
testably supreme example of the
art of Gustave Courbet as the Lunch

I three special exhibitions opened
one of paintings and small bronzes by
Charles II. Russell, known the
cowboy artist" and two of etchings by
artists who have not previously ex-
'hibited in this city, Marco Zim and
Power OMalley. Mr.. Russell is an
interesting personality, and to this fact
largely may be attributed his artistic
success.
The artistic impulse is no respecter
of persons. Like the seed carried on
the wind, it flowers often in unexpected
places. Benjamin West began paint
ing when child, according to tradition,
without having seen paintings or been
familiar with pictures. Clark Mills pro-
duced the statue of Jackson in La
fayette Square without ever having
seen an equestrian statue. Herbert
Ward began modelling his magnificent
Museum in this city, when exploring in
the heart of the Dark Continent. Charles
Russell began sketching and painting
and modelling while still a cowpuncher
on the Western plains. 1t is sincerity
and modesty which have won him ad
miring friends, also the fact that he
has chosen for expression an extremely
popular subject. The life of the great
plains, with its romance of adventure,
has a lure for us in America, as well as
for those abroad. The interest in Mr..
RusselTs works is essentially Subjec-
tive.
Some time ago. Mr.. Russell wrote a
number of articles on Western life for
one of the leading magazines, and. H.
lustrated them with pen drawings. The
illustrations were spirited and ad
mirably done. He has an excellent
sense of line and ability to indicate
movement. This finds expression in
his sculpture, which, while sketchy, is
animated, full of life. He is not a
technician, and in the handling of oil
color. this constitutes a baDdicap and

who, though a chemist, physiolo-

ard of three centuries ago, de-
clared that he had seen mice
born full grown from fermenting
corn in a vessel stoppered with
dirty linen. Van Helmont oe-
lieved what he said. 1t was not
his eyes that deceived him, for
no doubt the mice were there:
but it was his lack of critical
judgment in the use of his senses
which prevented him from dis
covering how the mice got there.
He believed, too, that the
smell which rise from the bot
tom of morasses produce frogs,
slugs, leeches, grasses and other
things
Yet Van Helmont did some good
things. He discovered and in
vestigated the gas which we now
call carbon dioxide, and he
brought about valuable reforms
