Have We q Truly

Of the Art Digest, in the hand

Dodd, Mead q Co., declares In
no uncertain terms that we have,

undoubtedly ind him convincing,
until he turns to the disillusioning
illustrations, 86 plates In full color,
many Of which are, In size, whole

Curiously enough, Mr.. Boswell and
other advocates Of our Modern
American School" ind confirmation
Of conviction in this regard, in the
unfavorable opinion voiced by the
French critics concerning the paint
ings by American artists which were
shown, by invitation of the French
government and under the auspices
Of the Museum Of Modern Art, New
York, in the Jeu de Paume, Paris,
In the summer Of 1888. The argu-
ment is that "had our art suited
the French taste, it would not yet
have been American" But II this
is so, what deduction are we Obliged
to make from the fact that at the

Instead Of the imported culture

a new national consciousness and
"refiecting our feelings, our thoughts

There are other surprises In Mr..

that Sargent, Whistler, Cassatt,

have all been cellarized as national

ton, and visitors are permitted to
raise the. covering cloth-protection
from the Highland view them at
pleasure. Mr.. Tolman has made
exhaustive study Of this branch Of
art and is now one Of the leading
experts in this country. The latest
acquisition is q particularly happy
one-a very smart portrait Of q
gentleman-not, by the way, unlike
the one Mrs. ODonnen In the Peale
portrait is seen holding, but in this
case the work Of Copley and signed
by him. There are still very many
of these lovely little portraits In
private ownership, cherished rs
heirlooms and unidentified as to
painter. For such there could be
no better repository than the Ma
tional Collection OF Fine Arts, where
they are assured expert care and
perpetual appreciation through dis
play. A word about the Catherine
Walden Myer fund. It is not large,
but the income it yields Is sufncient

Bergman Cartoons to Be
Followed by Water CoIors
byMrs. Partridge at Junior
League

The Junior League of Washington
has been holding during the past
fortnight an exhibition of original
cartoons by Clifford K. Bergman,
cartoonist of The Star, father of
the Teddy Bear which, by the way,
has not been much In evidence of
late, and outstanding artist. To be
caricatured by Mr.. Bergman is
reckoned an honor even by those
high in official life whose ways are
not always those Of pleasantness!H His
pen, while that of gifted drafts
man and always clever, may rs oc-
casion requires be stern or given to
ridicule but it Is never deliberately
discourteous. He has, indeed, . rare
gift and one well used.
This exhibition at the Junior
League will be followed by one of
water colors by Mary Elizabeth
Partridge, whose works have been
shown from time to time separately
and collectively in the Phillips Me-
mortal Gallery and elsewhere. Open
ing today, it will continue to De-
cember 8, and may be viewed by the
public In the league gallery, at
Twentieth street and Massachusetts,

HeIion's Abstract PAINTINGS
at the Whyte Gallery

OF all the new forms which art,
and particularly the art Of painting,
has taken in recent days, perhaps
the most confusing is that classi-
hed as abstract" The child Of
cubism, it is itself, in turn, the
parent of the so-called "non-objec-
tive" expression. The difference be-
tween the last two Is sometimes
difncult to discern. Briefly 1t is
this: Abstract art still holds to and
reflects, II ever 80 slightly, natural
forms, whereas the 1on-objective
discards these completely and en-
plays purely geometric figures-a
new alphabet-to secure esthetic re-
action. The exhibition of abstract
paintings by Jean Helion Of Paris,
which during the current month
occupies the Whyte Gallery, gives
point to these considerations. From
the foreword to the catalogue it
would appear that the works Of this
artist form, as 1t were, a link be-
tween the abstract and the nom
objective. "They do not tell q story,
nor do their represent form ordi-
narily found in nature" but judg-
ing from the titles listed, their source
was found by the painter in natural
forms, chiefly human figures.

He has had no academic training,
but is said to be an ardent and
scholarly student. He was appointed
