American Genius

This, of course, is not true.
The beauty of the Substan-
tial donations of goth CEN
tury American art now slated
for the Corcoran is not that
they will endow an empty
institution with much meri-
toriouS work, but that they
will round out and, espe-
cially, bring up to date an
already existing collection of
American art which, up to
the point at which the new
donations begin, gives an ex-
cellent view of what the
founder, William w. Corcor-
an, called "the American
genius"
All that is needed to see
the view is a visit to the
institution.
That false impression of
the Corcoran waiting like
Sleeping Beauty to come to
life stems ultimately from
more than the recent cliff
hanger specialization of the
Perils of Painting. 1t stems,
basically, from the uncon-
scious assumption by too
many people interested in
art that art itself didn't
really begin until the goth
century. American art in par
ticular is often regarded as
having come of age" only
in the last decade and a half,
when, for the first time, a
lot of European artists be-
gan taking their lead from
the American abstract eX-
preSsioniStS.
This is a pleasant assump-
ton, very flattering, too, with
its implication that only
those of us now alive know
true artistic maturity and
that our grandfathers were
all babes in arms. The only
trouble with it is it isn't
new. American art has been
just coming of age ever since
there was an American art;
our painting apparently takes
longer to reach the age of
81 than our women do to
reach 80.
Thus, prior to abstract ex-
preSsioniSm, American art
came of age with Benton,
Curry and Wood, whose chief
credential of maturity, in
terestingly enough, was their
resolutely turning their backs
on Europe. American art
came of age earlier still with
the Armory Show of 1913
looking to Europe-and with
the exhibition of The Eight
in '08-looking horneWard.

Upper Galleries

The true depth of Ameri-
can painting at the Corcoran,
however, only becomes clear
as the visitor ascends the
stair and begins to drift
through the upper galleries.
They seem to go on forever,
an impression strengthened
by the fact that they sur
round the special galleries
housing the Clark collection.
The Clark art, all European,
is its own Justification, but
in this gallery devoted to the
encouragement of the Amer
ican genius" it serves the
special function of providing
a basis of comparison for the
visitor surveying the works
of the native genius.
Of those works in the up
per rooms at the Corcoran,
probably the single outstand-
ing one is THE Pathetic
Song" by Eakins. The unity
and contrast of mood of the
three figures emerge from
patient and accurate repre-
sentation of reality.

landscape was that pursued
by Thomas Cole; the Cor
coran has a matched pair,
"The Departure" and The

with allegorical medieval
knights and both eminently
suitable for advertising

backward again, the old
Royal Academician, Benja-

a classical subject, Cupid
and Psyche" and the pic
ture shows clearly why
West was better at "hiS-
tories" than at myths. The
thing about histories was
that the people were gen.
orally fully dressed and West
had a flair for uniforms and
the smoke of battle. Cupid
and Psyche, on the other
hand, aren't wearing much to
start with and what little
they do have on is falling
off. Psyche's physique seems

derstood system of anatomy

Star Art Critic


In recent weeks, a fair part
OF the attention of the Wash
mgton art world has been
held by the process of rap
prochement between the Cor
coran Gallery of Art and a
group of donors anxious to
give their collections of goth
century American art to the
gallery. The process had some
of the elements of good mar
rative fiction, especially a
story line beginning with
failure and ending in success
and periods of dramatic sus-
pense heightened by the diff
ficultieS of communication
among principals scattered
by summer travei.
One of the strengths of
narrative fiction is its inStinc-
tive reliance on sirnpification
and contrast. These quail
ties, useful in the novel, be-
come a burden to the reader
who more or less projects
them into his reading of
news accounts. Such projec-
tion seems to be standard
procedure on both sides of
the Iron Curtain in follow
ing the continuing story of
Berlin. Such projection al
most inevitably accompanied
the latest chapter in the Cor
coran story. The result is a
widespread impression that
the Corcoran consists main
ly of a rather oStentatiouS
building and not much worth
while in the line of painting
and sculpture.

book, American Art Mu-

Spaeth writes, THE Corcoran
is a unique bank of Amer
ica'S past in paintings of the
events and people which
shaped her" This aspect of
the Corcoran becomes faS-
cinating as you walk through
the upper rooms. Here is
the Healy portrait of Lin
coin, beardlesS, painted be-
tween election and inaugu-
ration. Here are Sully'S por-
traits of Andrew Jackson and
James Madison. If George
Washington had never ex-
listed, Gilbert Stuart would
have invented him; indeed,
some think he did. At any
rate here is one of two
Washington portraits by
Stuart now in the Corcoran.
From before the Revolution
there is John Smibert's por-
trait of the Boston mer-
chant, Peter Faneuil, whose
hall still stands in that part
OF Boston hardest to find
your way in.
Far and away the richest
deposit in that bank of
Americas past" is the null
tiple portrait by Samuel F. B.

ture has a lot more than
documentary interest, but the
Corcoran does helpfully put
up a plan next to the paint
ing, identifying the Con-
gressmen and reporters scat
tered through the domed

Full Representation

Except for this last, all the
comingS of age of American
art are represented in the
Corcoran collection. Again
to see the view all you need
do is visit the institution.
The great first floor dou-
BILE gallery is so vast that
even large paintings lose
whatever of their impressive
ness depends on size alone,
but many of the American
paintings now hung there, or
in the adjacent rooms, hold
their own against all that
space. The double gallery is
given over now to the goth
century and it is here, with
out doubt, that the Corcor-
ans need for the new COL
lectionS is most evident. Yet
there are strengths, though,
in the present state of the
Corcoran's Goth century
holdings, the strengths seem
almost random.
Probably the three strong
est abstract paintings in the
double gallery are those of
Theodoros StamoS, John
Hultberg and I. Rice Periera.
None of the three is a really
dominant figure in the alb
stract movement. yet all
three of the paintings are
inspired choices and together
represent the more human
and communicative side of
current abstraction. Among
somewhat older contempo-
rary men, the raucous street
scene by Philip Evergood and
the endless patience of the
poor in Raphael Soyer's
waiting Room" are in line
with the main American
tradition of realism and the
more recent one of social
comment.
One of the real master
works at the Corcoran is
"Forty-Two Kids" by George
Bellows. The painter, had he
lived, would be not quite 80
now. The painting, the first
the artist ever sold, links us
with the American realism of
the turn of the century. OF
that, the present hanging
shows two particularly valu-
able examples, the John
Sloan group portrait of
Yeats at Petitpas," and
Robert Henri's full length
portrait of Sloan. An aSso-
ciate of Sloan and Henri,
Childe Hassam has several
works in the Corcoran, but
one, "The New York Win
dow" dating from 1912, is
an especially attractive vi
sion of an interior drowned
in amythySt light.

DC. Mans Yacht
Sends Ocean SOS

A sea and air search was
under way today in the foggy
Atlantic Ocean off Cape Ann,
Mass, for a sinking 48-foot
yacht, repeatedly owned by a
Washington man.
The Coast Guard in Boston
said the power yacht Goldea
Eagle sent a distress call by
radio at 7:40 am, reporting 1t
was sinking 10 to Is miles off
the cape light station with
eight persons aboard.
The radio call said the boat
is owned by Kenneth Andrews
of Washington.
Two helicopters, one plane
and three surface vessels were
dispatched to look for it.
The Merrimack Lifeboat Sta
ton at Plum Island received
the call for aid in which the
Golden Eagle was described as
having a light blue hull and
cabin. The Coast Guard said
no trace had been found of the
vessel,
