Prints and Print Collecting

his Office. enjoyed himself, and
doubtless found pleasure in show
ing to others. Then through some
sensational sales in Germany,
Switzerland and London he had
opportunity - which he did not
miss-of acquiring prints by the
great masters of earlier days.
AS his collection grew, so did his
interest. Never, it is said, did he
buy rarities as such, but because of
merit. If, for example. print be-
came available of which he had an
impression, but less good, he would
buy. Thus he was continually rails
ing his own standard to a degree of
expert knowledge, hence personal
pleasure, as we'll as the Importance
OF his collection. 1t is not every
one who Is so wise, but for those
who will follow this course and with
Evening star., 1943-05-02

-, similar reaSon-genulne love Of the
art-there is nothing more reward
ing or engaging.
What delight it must have been
to Mr.. RosenWald to get together
not only these rare and remarkable
Blakes. but also his almost complete
series of prints by Daumier and also
by Forain. How exciting it must
have been to gain possession of
some of the best-known impressions
of Rembrandt's greatest plates-to
say nothing of the complete set of
Van Dyck's portrait etchings-and,
earlier still. the lovely little Schon-
gauers and the sterner but still fasci-
mating Durers.
Generous in Lending.
Being a true lover of prints as
well as collector, Mr.. Rosenwald
has not been willing to keep his
prints for himself and his friends,
but has lent them generously to
museums and art associations
throughout the country, through
which practice others have shared
their pleasure and the contagion of
collecting has been extended. In
making his gift to the Nation, it is,
we are told. his desire that this
practice shall be continued. And
doubtless it will be.
There is indeed nothing more con-
tagious than print collecting, as any
! nna uvhn hoe hoon ovrocoI to +l,o
hobby and has developed it knows
full we'll. An excellent instance of
which, and one to be held in re-
membrance, is the way a Kansas
boy, just out of college, some years
ago induced the farmers of his State
to buy prints by putting them up in
the Office of his fathers feed store
and exhibiting them with enthusi-
asm. The farmers were susceptible.
they bought and bought well, so that
Kansas can boast today of more
good etchings by master etchers in
its farmhouses than probably any
other State in the Union. The
young mans name was Smalley, and
the instructor who aroused his in
terest was Birger Sandzen of Beth
any College, Lindsborg, who is both
painter and printmaker.
Not an Estensive Hobby.
Print collecting is not of necessity
an expensive hobby. Obviously the
average amateur does not expect to
be able to acquire Rembrandts and
Blakes-but these may be seen in
public collections to advantage. And
there Is always chance that an
embryo master may be discovered
here at our door. One learns by
looking and correcting errors in
| judgment.
Andre Smith, one of our most
gifted American etchers, has very
truly said, Every step toward at
tanning connoisseurship is fraught
with peril, but the experience is so
delightful that it is worth all it
costs" To which he added, THE
print collector, more than others, is
aware that today we turn to art as a
solace, and when he opens his port
folios they bring to him the salts
faction and pleasant contentment
that only print lover knows"
This door is also open to all through
the current exhibitions.
The National Gallery of Art has
announced this past week the ap-
pointment of David Keppel of New
| York as associate curator of prints,
an appointment which cannot fail
to meet with widespread approval
and satisfaction. For 40 years Mr..
Keppel has been closely associated
with prints and printmakers, and
none knows the field better than he
or has perhaps done more to upbuild
] 1t in this country.

coming to this country about a dec

The current exhibition includes

war and social subjects.

two seasons, the Wednesday evening
