ART KRANz IN MOURNING

On Monday night while Art
Kranz was roaming about the Lii
brary corner hunting for Chick
ems" a little duck came waddling
down the sidewalk towards him.
Art being a gracious fellow with a
sympathetic disposition took pity
ON the little darling and tucked it.
under his arm. The duck was n
young tiel, with one clipped and one
broken wing. He put the poor.
bird in a pen and tried to nurse it
back to health, but in spite of his,
fondest mothering it checked out
Wednesday morning. Now the
boys about town feel rather badly
as they expected to have some nice
duck meat at a later date, how
ever they extend their deepest re-
grets and hope the dark clouds
that hang over Arts head will
seperate and let the golden sun
shine through. Cheer up Art.

decorative works. Some Of her deco
rative panels and screens have already
been shown here at the Yoke Gallery.
Sometimes she uses floral motives, oc-
casionally old sailing ships. AS a me-
dium she employs geSSo, gold and silver
leaf. But whatever she does evidences
her fine sense Of design, her apprecia-
ton OF the fundamentals Of decoration.
The paintings which the ten Phila-
delphia painters have brought together
In this rotary exhibition (Which, by the
way, is having its first showing here)
have been produced far af1eld, in Eu-
rope, Arizona, Cuba and that well known
island, Monhegan, of the coast Of
Maine, as well as at Gloucester, PROV
1ncetown and in the Delaware Valley.
Isabel Cartwright, the one figure
painter Of the group, shows works which
are the output of several Summers in
Europe-one spent in the italian Tyrol.
Emilia" Is the portrait Of an Italian
baby, American born, reminiscent of the
TyroleSe peasants. Mrs Cartwright also
painted In Belgium and in England,
and includes in her showing Quiet

able to show, In originals, the various
aspects Of the occasion as 1t was vari-
ously conceived.
A MONG the old masters Christs
"A birth is celebrated in three forms
the Nativity" the Alteration of the
Shepherds" and the Alteration Of the
since st. Luke bespoke so little infor-
nation, his two or three details would
have been strictly followed in art. But
in one respect the painters have usually
paid no attention to his account. The
Infant rarely appears in swaddling
clothes; instead, He is almost always
nude. He has not yet been wrapped by
the time the shepherds have come, nor
yet when the wise men have arrived.
Had the early painters been women and
mothers, this detail doubtless would
have been presented In accordance with
the Gospel.
italian art frequently introduces a
curious incident. At the nativity and
the two alterations, st. Joseph Is often
rendered as sound asleep. We need not
seek the source Of this idea. Enough
that to the old Italians these holy
moments were too divine even for
Josephs gaze. Those whom God by
celestial phenomena had chosen as
worshiperS-the shepherds called by an
angel IN the heavens, the sages led by
o spectacle in the sky-they alone were
deemed the only privileged witnesses by
many southern painters. In other
Italian pictures, where Joseph Is left
awake, his head Is often so bowed with
awe and humility that his eyes are cast
wholly on the ground.
In early Italian art 1t Is the divinity
Of the event which the painters strive
to express. The symbol rather than
the reality Is their aim. Sometimes
they have thought 90 little Of human
elements that they have laid the in-
clad Babe In the manger with no sheet-
ing whatsoever between Him and the
rough straws.
Symbolism and divine mood are
obviously attempted In the italian "Na-
tivity," by Lorenzo di Bicci, illustrated
on this page and now in the collection
Of Mr.. H. I. Pratt. OF realistic setting
there Is little, but the framework of q
barn with matched roof. The radiant
Infant, enVeloped In His own ninbus,
lies in the folds of Mary's mantle as
she kneelS and prays.
Joseph kneels OF q distance; the sky
Is filled with angels. Surrounding the
heads Of the angels and the Holy Family
are large haloS. AL else IL omitted or
simplified, save the white OK and the

Gap Of Dunlow," stirring impression
Of ragged cragS cloud capped, and gay
little mountain torrents.
NJ Elizabeth Price Is shown In five
over-mantel decorations each Of which
might well become the keynote for the
decorative scheme Of q house. For the
most part the motives for these were
found in her own garden at New Hope,
where she has q Summer home and
studio.
Cora Brooks shows again colorful
flower studies. Her garden Is at Booth
bay Harbor, Maine, tucked in clearing
in the birch woods. In it are phlox,
iris, delphinium, monkshood, gladiolaS
and lilies, with borders Of forget-me-
nots, and In the deeper shade begonias
and fuchsias. Among her exhibits are
Tribute Silk Of the Mancshus," pic
ture Of phlox against an old bit of
brocade; "Prodigate Summer" Prom
Autumns Treasury" ETC., all Of which
lend color and charm to the exhibit as
whole.

"A there opened, December 16, with q
private view an exhibition of paintings
by Elena and Bertha de Hellebranth,
young Hungarian artists, who after
winning plaudits abroad have come to
this country as to a new world to ex-
tend their experience and to find larger
opportunity. They are both serious and
sincere artists and they have studied in
the best schools and under excellent
masters.

the manner Of His birth, each Of us
clearly visualizes the scene-the humble
stable with its wide-eyed animals, the
swestruck st. Joseph, the bed of straw
with its precious burden, and Mary, pale
from "the intolerable honor which had
came upon her"
We owe our Installation to the fine
old painters who first made pictures of
the scene. It was they who established,
or perhaps one should say crystallized,
the setting of the event that st. Luke
narrated. All our pictures since then,
including the one in our minds eye,
have their source in the art Of the old
masters.
Today such paintings are doubly cher
ished: as relics of art and as early rep
reservations Of the sacred scene. Amer
lea is fortunate In having been able to
acquire within the last 80 years a num-
Der of these rare, early representations
Of the birth of Christ. Indeed, our mu-
seums and private collections are now

in this picture a quality Of the divine,
but the mood Is realized humanity, and
the Child, portrayed without a halo or
a nirnbus, might be almost any plump
and healthy German baby.

FL GRECO, the great interpreter IN
art Of SPANS religious fervor, pic
tured the scene in a highly individual
manner. AS might be expected from
his brush, Ell Greco's Nativity" in the
Metropolitan MuSeum-another version
of which Is in the collection Of George
and Florence Blumenthal-is tmpaS-
stoned and emotional. The stable is q
mere architectural suggestion in the
background. The animals, though
present, are unimportant spectators.
Everything centerS upon the radi-
ance revealed when Mary with a sud-
den gesture uncovers the Infant for
the assembled adorers to gaze upon
with establishment. Joseph throws out
his arms In amazement, dropping his
mantle and his staff to the floor. The
excitement of the scene extends to the
fields outside, where men toss their
might be storm Of lightning in a
heavy sky. One feels more than any,
thing else the tense drama of the &C.
caSion.
So few early English paintings exist
that so far as is known America does
not yet possess an old English version
Of the birth of Christ Old French
paintings of the subject are almost as
rare, though two are known to exist in
this country-one in the John G. john
son collection and one in the collection
Of Mr. T p MORGAN
The Morgan picture Is In reality an
Alteration Of the Magi," though the
action takes place at the NATIVITY. Nv

floor indicate how busy Joseph has
been in making the cradle-like bed COM
Portable.
Joseph and Mary kneel above the
newborn Prince of Peace in thoroughly
human postures. The animals lean so
closely over Him that their warm breath
is upon Him. From outside two por-
trait-like shepherds have left their
dockS in the distance and are Just ar
irving at the open window. The mood
is human rather than divine, except
for the procession of angels in hight
through the doorway.
A similar humanness and considerable
realism also characteriZes early German
painting Of the subject, such as the
South German Nativity" shown here.
Three angels, Mary and Joseph all kneel
IN devout Joy before the Child, who is
shielded from the cold of a tile floor
by the blanket of Mary's mantle. Out
side, shepherds among their sheep are
seen frightened by the angel descending
