Washington has an opportunity
to see examples Of work in water
color done during the past five
years by local artist, Robert F.
Gates. at Howard University Art
Gallery through this month. There
may be few works earlier than
1885, as some are not dated. The
larger proportion ranges from 1896
through 1899, during which years
the artist painted in localities of
wide contrast-the Virgin Islands,
Colorado and in and near the Ma
tion's Capital.
1t is to be expected that paintings
would reflect the differences of
such diverse places. unless they were
misrepresentation, which Mr..
Gates paintings are not. However,
the variations of these works are
more than mere echoes of contrasted
subject matter. His painting has re-
Gently been growing broader, SIM
pier, heavier and darker. In 1896
he painted in the Virgin Islands on
an assignment from the Treasury
Department Art Project. From that
expedition (Which was shared by a
number of other artists he brought
back a group of water colors which
was subsequently exhibited at Stu
dio House.
Persons who saw that show will
recognize some of those paintings in
the present exhibition. They are,
generally speaking. the most in
gratiating Of his works, fresh and
colorful, clean-cut In execution. One
of the best is ''The White Wall (St.
Thomas" with its warm. blue tropic
sky, varied green's and browns and a
surprising note of magenta. His treat

was, and still is, to give TO advanced
students in the arts-called-1ine op-
portunity of contact with the works
of the great masters and in that en-
vironment in which they were Ne-
ated. Far from discouraging initi-
ative on the part Of the fellowship
holders, such experience has broad
ened vision and strengthened
achievement. Especially have fell

ment of palm trees in "The Water
ing Place" and of other varieties In
"Prickly Pear" of the Virgin Islands
group is markedly different from
his depletion Of trees in later paint
ings.
Contrasted with his symbolic
handling OF leaf shapes in the ear
lier paintings is his current method
of rendering trees as solid masses.
Every one who visited the Society Of
Washington Artists annual exlh-
bition last February will recall the
trees in Mr.. Gates Ranch House" I"
which won The Evening Star prize
for the best painting in the exhibi-
ton. This was, of course, an oil
painting, and the artist properly
varies his technique to suit his me-
dium.. q, s5a...7 -. 9na
Nevertheless. his recent trees in
water-color paintings are akin to the
Ranch House" trees as color
masses. It is evident that trees
appeal to Mr.. Gates, as they appear
frequently in his work. In addition
to the luxurious trees in the Virgin
Islands water colors, there is the
great oak in lightning" and a leaf
less grove in Dead Chestnuts," a
dark and gloomy portrayal.
In her thoughtful foreword to the
catalogue Of the current Howard
University exhibition Jane Watson
mentions Mr.. Gates ability to
communicate emotion through his
painting" Melancholy and futility
are the emotions which the average
observer will probably see in some
of the artists later works, due in a
few instances to choice of subject,
but more often to color and tone
presentation.

It was Alexander w. Drake, for
many years sart editor of Century
Magazine and. the juvenile monthly,
Saint Nicholas, who discovered his
talent and set him on the road to
success as an illustrator. In the
studio of Boards brother, Frank.
Mr.. Drake CHANGED to see one of
his drawings-of a fish-liked 1t
and bought it for $25-an astound-
ing sum to the young mapmaker.
Immediately Beard determined to
give himself to illustration and re-
signed his position with the ex-
planation that he was going on
holiday-and "qn holiday have
been ever since" he states in his
autobiography. But the holiday"
comprehended no end of hard work.
In the evenings he studied at the
Art Students League; during day.
light hours he made illustrations for
Field and Stream, Cosmopolitan,
Saint Nicholas and numerous other
publications. That was the day
when illustrators were artists and
had plenty to do.
Seeing some of Boards drawings
in Cosmopolitan, Mark Twain de-
cided he was the man to illustrate
"A Connecticut Yankee" That the
choice was q wise one is attested
not only by the drawings now on
view, but by a letter written by
the author to his illustrator from
Hartford, Conn, in 1887. His mes
sage, also displayed at the Library,
says:
Dear Mr.. Beard: Hold me
under permanent obligations.
What luck it was to find you!
There are 100 artists who could
illustrate any other book Of mine,
but there was only one who could
illustrate this one. Yes, 1t was .

S. L. CLEMENS.
The occasion for Mark Twain,s
Evening star., 1940-05-12

later could boast no less than 1000
such-an incredible number. Stran-
gely enough, the result was deteri-
Grafton in the art. Also, 1t should
be noted that in these and other
tapestries of this same era, the de-
signs were made to be woven, and
the weavers kept this medium in
mind; whereas, as time advanced
the ambition was to initiate paint
ing. and so the simplicity and sin
certify Of the art were lost.
Who the designer of this series
Of tapestries was is not definitely
known. One authority, Cavaliere
Pietro Gentili. director of the tap
estry works of the Vatican. at Rome,
credits them to the great Flemish
painter, Van Eyck, who, 1t will be
remembered, was the discoverer of
oil paint as a medium; but DR.. Kris,
Of Kunsthoristorisches Museum of
Vienna, is of opinion that their
designer was Quentin Massys (or
Matsys), also Flemish, but of later
date. The Van Eycks-Hubert and
his brother Jan-lived between 1866
and 1441, whereas Massys' dates
were 1465-1530, therefore, If these
tapestries were woven in the 18th
century. as is supposed, 1t is more
likely that Massys. and not Van
Eyck, was the designer. But Cav
aliere Pietro Gentili goes so far as
to claim that figure in one Of the
tapestries is that of Van Eyck, which
II he were the designer, is by no
means improbable.
The four other tapestries included
in the gift are of later date and
less important, but decoratively en-
gaging. Two are large pictorial
compositions, one representing "The
Nativity and the Alteration of the
Shepherds" the other "The Adora-
ton OF the Magi," both very much
in the style of the school of Rubens.
The two others are small and purely
decorative, one being horizontal
panel setting forth the armorial
bearings of an old Italian family,
and the other a figure of q young
man in 18th century costume, pos
sibly a late copy of an earlier
work. The Corcoran's collection of
tapestries has become exceptionally
notable in recent years even among
museums of far greater financial
resources-thanks to the generosity,
as IN this instance, Of private
donors.

Book Are Shown at Library.
At the Library of Congress there
opened last week an exhibition of
the work of Daniel Carter Beard,
consisting of 100 drawings made
as illustrations for Mark Twain's
book, "A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur's Court"-practically
the full quota which, happily, are
now included in the Library's cabi-
net Of American illustrations.
Mr.. Beard, born in Cincinnati in
June, 1850, is approaching his Goth
birthday, but, according to report,
is still hale and keenly interested
IN life-as interested as when,
In 1889, he made the illustrative
drawings now on exhibition. His
talent was inherited, for his father,
James Henry Beard, was an artist
and q member of the National
Academy Of Design. He had, more
over, two brothers, an aunt and an
uncle who attained to considerable
distinction as painters, but for some
reason he elected to be an engineer
and surveyor. In 1872 his family
moved to Flushing, N. Y, and he

Rome Competitions
Academy Holds Annual Con-
test for FellotDships.
War or no war. the American
Academy in Rome is holding, as
usual, at this time competitions for
fellowships in both painting and
sculpture. The winner in sculpture
has been announced as John Gulias
Of New York, 23 years of age. for
mer student at the Roerich Insti-
tute and the Da Vinci Art School.
Three honorable mentions were CIV
en-, as follows: H. Richard Duhme,
jr, Pennsylvania Academy Of the
Fine Arts; Abbott L. Patterson,
Chicago, graduate Of the Yale Art
School, and Frederick Jean Thalinger
of the Art School Of Washington
University, st. Louis.
The fellowship which Mr.. Gulias
has won is for a term Of two years,
beginning October l, 1910, and has
an estimated value Of $4,000. This
includes residence at the academy in
Rome and . certain amount Of free
dom for travel and study In italy
and other countries. Obviously,
however, unless the conditions In
Europe are more favorable by au-
tumn than they are at present, these
privileges will have to be postponed
or those Of study and travel in this
country substituted.
