On the opposite wall in the center
is a screen of six folds showing cryp-
tomeriaS and cedarS on a snowy hill
side, in color, ink and gold. on paper,
by an artist of the kano school Of the
seventeenth century. This is broadly
rendered, the color held in large, free
masses, the dark of the evergreen
foliage contrasting with the masses
of snow and cloud formations. The
impression is one of loftineSs, of being
above the cloud, and the snow as it
rests on the branches of the cryp-
tomerias gives the impression of soft
ness, of cHnging gently.

sign. One OF the women in this COM
position is pictured playing on an in
strument similar to lutte. Studying
the garments worn by the women, one
discovers the use of figured material,
evidently tied and dye work.

the medium of music. In the latter
the flowers themselves constitute an

only part of the whole.
There are three screens in this col
lection which are entirely given over
to floral subjects. One represents a
two-wheel festival cart piled high with
blossoms; another represents a wis
taria vine in flower, the punches of
blossoms standing out against a dark
background. The third is an engag-

corn and convolvuli. This is the
school of koetsu of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, and it is

Those who visit this interesting eX-
hibition of screens should not fail to
pass from it to the corresponding
room at the other end of the building,
in which are shown Chinese paintings
of an earlier date-the ancestors, as it
were, of these Japanese artists. Here
are panels showing landscapes, birds,
animals and flowers, each of which
has its underlying meaning, the work
of a master painter. One must study
these paintings carefully to realize
their full beauty or even to discern
all of the objects which they set forth.
Reference is made to the story of the
Emperor Ming Huang and his undy-
ing love for Yang Kueifee in one of
these paintings, in which pair of
ducks is shown, and in another where
the stag stands guard over his gentle
doe.
One of these paintings, landscape
subject, shows a view as from a height
looking down. even as today one looks
down from an aeroplane; another of
a mountainous subject represents the
distance in successive heights, as the
observer would look up from a valley.

| HOSE who visit the F'reel Gal
lery of Art at this time will
find on view an uncommonly
interesting group of Japanese
screens, some of which have
not heretofore been shown. These
represent the art of painting in
Japan at its height and shortly ante
date the school of the print makers.
They are the work of artists of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
and the direct descendants, artist
cally, of the master painters of
China. In fact, in several instances
the painters have used Chinese
themes. The subjects are landscape,
floral and figure compositions, and
each has n meaning which lends spe-
cial significance
The Oriental artist is most sensitive
to esthetic beauty, most punctilious
in regard to technical perfection, most
regardful of tradition, but never does
he apparently consider art other than
as means to an end, not as an end
in itself For instance. one of these
splendid screens represents the
Game of Fans" Courtiers of the
day in which it was painted carried
their fans in their belts as well as
their swords, and one of their amuse-
ments was to toss them, open, into
a stream, composing a poem ere they
struck the water. The screen shows
numerous fans floating down stream,
and each fan is eXQuisitely decorated;
one with a great lotus lily and bud,
another with a figure, each in the
style of a well known master The
color is superb. the line fluid and
graceful. the whole essentially decora-
tive. This screen has only lately
been remounted.
Next the screen of fans is q screen
representing the waves at Matsushi-
ma, on the coast OF Japan. where
there are little rocky islands with
cloSe-clinginS cypress, one of the great
and beautiful sights of Japan. This
screen, of many folds. was painted by
Sotatsu, a most famous japanese art
lSt of the seventeenth century. and is
Superbly decorative, with the swing
ing lines of the sea, the conflicting
outline of the rocks, and the twisted
