end for Whistler as a "re-
liable" artist.
He began touching up the
dining room in the summer
of 1876, having talked Ley
land into staying away. He
started by gliding the red
flowers. This was no help and
he went on and on, hope
lessly trying to save the situ-
alton, until he covered all
the walls and the ceiling with
peacock blue-green veined
with gold motifs of the proud
birds and their feathers.
While the work was in prog
gress. Whistler had some
cards printed up giving the
address of the house an
regularly entertained a
changing audience as he
stood on a Scaffold.
Owner Incensed
Poor Jaeckyll, when he saw
his room, went insane and
had to be locked up. Leyland
was incensed and more so as
Whistler's price rose from
the 500 guineas agreed upon
at the outset to 1000. Ley
land refused to pay. The
painter attacked the end wall
and decorated it with q gi-
gantic cartoon Of two pea
cocks, one proudly aloof, rep
resenting Whistler. the other
angrily clutching silver coins,
Leyland. When finally the
the reluctant patron came
through, he paid not in the
guineas reserved for profess
sional services, but in plain
pounds, the British style of
payment for tradesmen and
artisans.
The incident became the
talk of London: among the
spectators at the peacock
painting was Queen Vic
toria's daughter, Princess
Louise. From the scandal of
the odd shilling-the guinea,
a non-existent coin, is worth
81 shillings to the pounds 20

artist to design an entire
room to set off one of his
paintings. The painting,
which still hangs in the
room at the Freer, Is 1.-THE
Princess of the Land of
Porcelain" and shows Chris
tine Spartali, daughter of
the Greek Counsel General
in London, dressed in Japa-
neSe costume standing
against Oriental screens.
Painted in 1854, the picture
is as much a landmark of
rising Western interest in
the East as the similar pieces
of costume painting being
done at the same time by the
ImpresSionists in Paris.
The painting itself was a
problem. The Spartali family
refused to pay for it, declar-
ing 1t no likeness, and even
tually through the mediation
Of the Poet Dante Gabriel
Rossetti, it was bought by
Frederick Leyland, a newly
rich shipowner whose por-
trait by Whistler also hangs
at the Freer.
ROssetti as Decorator
Leyland bought a London
house and hired half the
membership of the pre-
Raphaelite Brotherhood -
president: D. G. Rossetti-
as advisers on redoing it. The
Princess" was placed in the
elaborately redone dining
room, which was designed
with q grid Of shelves to
display the Leylands' extern
sive collection of blue and
white china. The room was
walled with 10th century
Spanish leather of a yellow
ish tone, relieved by painted
red flowers selected by the
decorator, an architect
named Jaeckyll. Whistler an
nounced that the room was
unfit for his Princess" He
persuaded Leyland to let him
touch it up. The enterprise

Lincoln Center will be an
adornment to the entire
country as well as to New
York. something In which
every intelligent American
can take a great deal Of pride.
In Mr.. Scuhman's words, it
sis many things, but before
all others it is a living monu-
ment to the will Of free men
acting together on the basis
of their own initiative and
idealiSm."
However, a caution enunci-
ated by Mr.. Schuman some
months back is worth repeat
ing at this time:
Lincoln Center is not the
United States, and the worst
thing for the arts in this
country would be to rely on a
single center as the cultural
capital.
Fortunately, the trend is
not in that direction, and
more and more the United
States is developing its artis-
tic resources on a Nation
wide basis.
1.-The opportunity Of Lin
coin Center to advance the
artistic life Of the United
States is enormous. and its
responsibilities are COM
menSurate.
THE measure Of Lincoln
Center's contribution will, of
course, be in what goes on
in its halls, however beautiful
they may be in themselves
as handsome architecture.
'It is our hope that the
example of Lincoln Center
will catch fire and its ideas
will be taken up in other art
community centers that are
growing up around the
United States"
W. ngtonians need
hardly be reminded that this
city is one in which an art
community center" called the
National Cultural Center will
hopefully begin to grow up
in the very near future. The
implications of Mr.. Schu-
mans words, as well as the
experience of the "art COM
munity center" he heads,
should be especially care
fully pondered in the Ma
tion's capital.

come a celebrity. His prices
rose like the skyrockets in a
famous painting he called
"Nocturne." But he also took
a great step toward not be-
ing an artist at all and only
a public entertainer. From
this new status, which Whis-
tier played beautifully, came
many of his troubles in the
quarter century of work that
remained. From this status,
surely, came his own strange
determination to sue the crit
ic, Ruskin, for libel, and
from it, too. came the award
OF damages Of a single far
thing, leaving Whistler with
immense legal fees and con-
sequent bankruptcy.
Artists and Settings
More than Oscar Wilde he
created the pose of the artist
as aesthete. He was q mar
velous wit and even the MEM
ory Of his perfected impu-
dence is a Joy In an age
when artists are mostly ear
nest plodderS and sober sided
splashers. You can't speak of
Whistler's old age; If he'd
lived to Ito he wouldn't have
known such a thing. But in
his last years he profited
from the patronage of two
men. One was Richard Can
field, the New York gambler,
whose immortality resides in
the popular form of solitaire.
The other was Charles Ian
Freer.
Preserved, the Peacock
Room is a farce. 1t may
have seemed Oriental to the
artist, although that is
doubtful. Today 1t seems ter
ribly Of its time In the worst
sense. Yet it belongs where
it Is. surrounded by rooms of
genuine Oriental art that put
1t to shame. The Freer COL
lections open up world after
world to the visitor: the life
and style Of Arabic writing,
the charm of Persian il
lustrations, the peace of
Chinese meditations on the
seasons, the ferocity of gar
den demons from Japan.
Each is real. Each tells us
something = Americans will
need to know in the decades
ahead. More than that, each
reveals a kind of beauty still
new and strange to the
Western eye. But the West
ern world would be even more
unready for the East had it
not been for the theatrical.

ton OF painted screens from
China and Japan to the
planting Of exquisite garden
in the inner court.
Yet the Freer. in the midst
Of its celestial harmonies Of
gray and silver. contains a
shrine to flambuoyant vul-
garity such as the Smithson-
ian has yet to achieve. This,
Of course, is the prepoSterous
Peacock Room, the creation
Of James Mcneil Whistler
and one Of high points Of q
career in great part dedi-
Gated to public outrage.
All the same there is a
certain appropriateness in
having the American section
of the Freer dominated by
the spirit of Whistler, for
the painter was an early ad-
vocate of the meeting of
East and West. Today one of
the great sensitive areas of
American policy is Just that
meeting of East and West
that Whistler advocated a
century ago. The contradic-
tions Of his advocacy are
glaringly on view at the
Freer. The magnificent COL
lection of Asiatic art, by
having been assembled in the
West and by being available
in Washington, does indeed
serve that meeting of the
hemispheres which is ap-
parently to shape our future.
By comparison. the "Ori-
entail" elements in Whistler's
work seem farcical. This is
the kind Of meeting between
East and West created by a
suburban hostess serving
frozen chow mein.
Timelessness Element
At the Freer it Is not the
chow mein, or Oriental, ele-
ments that are frozen, but
the American. The timeless
qualities Of China, Japan,
Persia, India and the rest
are constantly advancing as
the gallery constantly ex-
pands its aquisitions and its
scholarship in the field. In
recent months, two sumpu-
Gus volumes by Freer staff
members, Chinese Paint
ing" by James Cahill and
Arab Painting" by Richard
Ettinghausen, have attested
the active and continuing
contribution Of the Freer
Gallery to the parent Smith
