drawing belongs to our time, as we'll
as to that of the golden age" when
painting reached perhaps its great
est height.
Exquisite Examples.
In numerous instances the draw
ings now on view were evidently
made as studies for paintings, but
not always. Not infrequently they
must have been made first and last
for their own sake and as the
chosen medium of expression. No
one who has never drawn can COM
prehend the joy of drawing, but
more than a glimmer of this delight
can be had from the works of these
masters which speak for themselves.
Take, for example, the exquisite
portrait drawings by Ingres, by
Chasseriau and by Degas, utterly
different, but equally fine, the lines
sensitive in the extreme, the touch
delicate but firm, the emphasis in
variably rightly placed, the treat
nent free but restrained. What
could be more lovely or significant?
Nothing, it would seem. We are apt
to think of music in terms of color,
but here we find it expressed in
line and tone, the former like
notes brought forth by the master
from the strings of a violin; the
latter through the use of perfect
shading. Again, one is reminded
that all the arts are most closely
akin.
Gallery / in this exhibition is
given over exclusively to 27 drawings
from the Paul j. Sachs Collection,
lent by the Fogg Museum, Cam
bridge, Mass. This includes two
drawings by Ingres 1780-186D, one
a Portrait of Nine. d'Haussenville, !"
in preparation for the well known
painting, the other Portrait of
Mime. Suzanne Hayard," no less
beautifully drawn, each fully char
acteristic and indicative of little
things-as, for example, the weight
of shawl hanging over Nine
Hayard's arm-no less than of those
big, vital things of the spirit. In
this group, too, are seven drawings
by Degas Q834-19lD, which show
him to have been no less a drafts
man than painter-one who ap-
preciated the value of line, as well
as lover of color His sketch for
LA Femme aux Chrysanthememes"
is an amazing rendition in line, the
essential, and only the essential,
given-all else dismissed. Especially
is the hand on which the face rests
brilliantly delineated, agreeing in
character with facial features and
expression, telling more than half
the story of the personality of the
sitter. Delightful also is the draw
ing, in utterly different manner, in
charcoal on pink paper, of the young

the genius of the artist, marked in
dividuality, with reticence. From
the Sachs Collection have come two
other drawings by Degas, Woman
with Bustle" and Nude" both
typical of different periods given
over to divergent trends. To which
group is added a drawing in color,
made with brush on brown paper.

Much interest Is being shown
among the Cosmos members, not

Mr.. Moore of birds and wild fowl,
which are included in his one-man
showing. These, the scientists de-
clare, are as accurate as Audubon's, S,

and charming. The group en-

The II exhibits included therein are
shown in the upright cases in the

introduction to the major display
in the gallery set aside for special
exhibitions. A large number of
these prints came from out-of town
printmakers, some of whom are
among the most distinguished in
this country. Such, for example, is

Jealous worker in the interest of

he is represented by four prints, all
recent plates, chief among which is
his etching of the porch of the
cathedral at Chartres, entitled "In
Memoriam" Done couple of years
ago, it is to be counted among the
great etchings of our day-a bril-
liant achievement from the tech
nical standpoint and, at the same
time, strongly emotional. In the
matter of detail, this etching is
magnificently handled, no single
item being overlooked, yet with the
unity Of the whole completely main
tanned. Here is work which seems
to arrive at perfection with apparent
unconscious effort on the part of the
etcher. Note the depth and trans
parency Of the shadows which fall

an etching, probably produced in
his early period when under classi-
cal influence, and also by a portrait
of his father, the head only, lovingly
rendered, which has been lent by
M. Jacques Truelle of the French
Embassy. Gericault, whose dates
are 1791- 1924, is seen in two widely
different transcriptions, one of lie
Soldat Negre," the other "Paysage
d Italie";; the former strongly is
modelled, the latter chiefly in line
and romantic in treatment. Della
croix 1798-1863), who exerted 50
strong an influence on French art
during his lifetime, is seen in a
drawing entitled Combat" and in
a portrait of Frederic Villot, the lat
ter heavily framed in accordance
with the taste of the period. French
art was fourishing and we'll patron
lied at the time of Delacroix, but
already changes were taking place
in thought and conception. AS soon
as the spirit became stifled by the
academic letter-of -the-law, the slant
was downward. But this did not
mean the discarding of tradition or
the blotting out of individuality. The
artists already mentioned were a
law unto themselves, were endowed
with genius and willing to submit
to discipline, sought the truth-and
triumphed. Likewise also, it is seen,
did Renoir, Daumier, Guys and
others.
Daumier Masterpiece.
Daumier's drawing in line, 'Mal-
ade 1maginaire, lent to this exhibi-
ton anonymously. is comparable to
one by Rembrandt in treatment of
line and Characterization, a master
piece: and his wash drawing, plea
for the Defense" from the Phillips
Gallery collection, is no less superb
from the standpoint of art and
execution.
Even the extremists here appear
to good advantage-Lautrec espec-
tally in his caricature of Yvette
Guilbert, Seurat in his studies for
La Crane Jatte" and La Parade,
Picasso in his drawing of Mother
and Child" tenderly felt and set
forth. Obviously, one may observe,
these modernists know how to draw
and are acquainted with convention
SO well acquainted, in fact, that
they may dare to disregard 1t. This
is not the product of chance or Slip
shod Incidence.
Interest attaches to q wash draw
ing by Guys 1805- 1892 of the EN-
press Eugene on horseback, dis
guised under the title, 'L'Amazone, +"
as was customary when royal per-
sonages were portrayed; q lively
composition, effective In treatment,
but a bit casual when 1t comes to
the drawing of the horses legs. Van
Gogh is twice represented, and typi-
cally, by drawings in line. His
Village Of ste. Marie" has been lent
by Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, jr.,
Boats Anchored" anonymously, and
Expresses" by the Brooklyn Mu-
scum. The last shows Van Gogh's
formula for creating the illusion OF
motion or unrest, his lines being
swirled in cyclonic fashion, just as,
with paint, he whipped up the sur
face of his canvas with his brush.
Never can one see q Van Gogh
painting or drawing without being
conscious, however, Of the agony he
went through In production; the
fury of despair with which he in
variably attacked mis- task.
To an extent, all Of these draw
ings are self revealing on the part
of the artists, and for this reason
put the observer In close touch with

SO year Old laborer, who thought he

disorderly conduct. He said he had

months and that he believed the
best way to get job was to create
some excitement and then cash in.
The plan didn't work so we'll.
YoSt took no chances on getting
hurt during his aerial act. He
carried two parachutes and a dunn

about 40 minutes-when he sneaked
into tie fair last night. Earlier he
had notified news photographers
that he would jump off, come 7:3O

He danced few steps, waved at
the crowd and then tossed over a
dummy attached to a parachute.
The chute opened only partly and
that broke YoSt's nerve, he said
later at the police station. He was
as nervous as fan dancer in a
blizzard when he told about it.
Soon after the dummy dived, Yost
was yanked from the platform by
