Exhibitions At New York Galleries By HENRY McBRIDE
W ITHIN a day or two after writing my letter of last month, the Na
tional Academy of Design flung
open the doors upon its Spring Exhibition. To write of it now that three weeks have
elapsed sllnce my study of the pictures, is
difficult, for there was no dominating work in the collection, of 'the sort that would
make an unforgettable impression upon those who take art seriously. There-were
a number of creditable performances (one of them, you will be pleased to know, by
a Chicagoan, Mr. Walter Ufer, who gained
the Thomas B. Clarke prize with his "Go
ing East"), but nothing that could be honi estly ranked with the pictures, say of
Whistler, Homer and Eakins. Artists of that calibre are rare in any epoch, of course; and there is no need to make an undue out cry over their absence from the -present Academy, although there is always -the necessity among those who serve the pub lic to give a hint of the actual relation that exists between the contemporary output and what is undeniably great. Once satis fied that there is no attempt to confuse the public with its standards, then it is quite all right to go ahead and comfort the as

Winslow Homer. What made Homer's name one to conjure 'with, is not that he was a clever craftsman with parlor tricks for the ladies, but that he had a great soul and faced fearlessly -the most gigantic as pects of nature. He confronted the terri fying battles-of the elements upon the rock bound Maine coast, not as a puny mortal; but with similar courage to that of t-he early Bible heroes or those' of Grecian legend; Mr. .Dougherty on' the 'other hand merely regarded Bottalack Cove as a pretty "bit" and did it with ease and grace. It is one of the best of his recent marines. Mr. Ufer's Indian picture, "Going East;"
is the' springhtliest and cleverest picture of the Academy. It is much above the gen eral run of Indian pictures, of' which'there
are 'always - several in every exhibition;
This artist' has ventured into the Indian
country with a better technique equipment than most of his predecessors have had, and has no trouble with proportions, form' or composition-and indeed is rather free with his brush. 'His mehtal attitude, how ever, is comparable to Mr. Dougherty,s, in that he was more or less of a 'tourist, out to bag the picturesque. In order to bag: this game, 'is a shred of -a suspicion in the;
mind of the spectatbr, that the' artist may have used a camera, in snatching this group of Indians upon 'the march, for there is 'something of -the cliche 'in his present-:
ment of the subject. One must riot be hy percritical on this point, thotigh, in these days; since the younger artists have fed their -eyes since infancy upon photographs, and it is not to be wondered at that their brains have taken> on the camera -habit of Working.

IMPORTANT works of the 'Old Masters" are to be found
inour galleries at all times. DDuring our forty years' expe- -
rience as private collectors and dealers, our aim has ever been to acquire paintings of Quality. Beautiful portraits, landscapes, genre pictures, as well as deco rative flower panels, etc., and fine "Primitives" are always on
- exhibition. We deal exclusively the "Old Masters." All pa int
ings purchased from us are ex changeable at any time.

None of the other prize-wininers is as
complete technically as either of the two
mentioned. Mr. Hassam's "landIscape" slhows upper Fiftlh Avenue decked witlh
American flags for a patriotic demonstra
tion. It is pretty good all except the
flags, most of which hanig as stiff'y in the
breeze as thouglh they were made of wood.
Outside of the list of prize taking works, the thing I liked best was a portrait by AMr.
Kenyon Cox of his young daughter-in-law. Mrs. Leonard Cox. There are very few clitics in America, I fear, who would dare
con)spicuously to like one of Mr. Cox's
paintings, for to tell the truth he has never been widely accepted as an artist except amllong those who came beneath the sway of his personal influence. For year-s it has been the fashion, wlherever two or three artists comiie together, to chuckle and joke over his insistant contributions to the re curring Academies, and they have been held to be wooden, hard, lifeless, labored, anid witlhout humor. Nevertheless, in spite of the private repudiation, outwardly MXTr. Cox as an artist has had a great sway over American affairs, and no one of the gen eration just past has had greater official influence. This came about because he
wrote well and because he was considered the best teacher of draughtsmanship in
America. As he lacks imagination, poetry, and
humor, and works entirely f rom wlhat might be called an intellectual poiInt of view, it follows that the emotional quality so necessary to keep an artist up to the lboil ing point in expressing his idea, is lacking in Mr. Cox. Working like a hack work
man, he forgets sometimes, what he is working about, and consequently, even the drawing which lhe is supposed to have at his command slips away from him, and he
drops into complete absurdities, includinig even errors in perspective and construction. Possibly owing to suclh a temperament, he is at his best, with a living model in front of him, to more or less h1old himi downl to

business. Certainly, the only works of his
I could take seriously have been portraits.
The present one, is Mr. Cox at his best, for
he completely forgot his pedanticism as an
artist, and gave himself up to honest pride
and pleasure in his daughter-in-law's
wholesome and youthful beauty. It is not
ain important poinlt, but it ought to be
pointed out however that even in this por trait there are slips of drawing, and the
draperies over the arm are quite meaning
less and contain no hint that they cover a
solid and roun(ded forearm. A ,
Visitors to the galleries of Durand-Rluel
during the last half-dozen years have re
marked certain small canvases signied Al
bert Andre' whiclh lhave seemiied to promise
much. They were usually small interior-s
witlh figures, young womeni at their toilette,
at study or at various lhonmely tasks. The
color was always gay anid at the same timie
personal-a touch of MIanet in its pearli
ness, but nothlinig that was distinctly bor rowed from Mianet. The pictures lhad something in them that compelled you to glance at them, anid once seen, they were rememberecl.
Anidre seemed, a few years ago, as likely to be one uponl whom might devolve the
leadership of the present (lay impression ists-but aloing caIme Picasso, Matisse, and
Vani Gogh to distract and turn the attention of all Paris from the tenets of the im)pres sionlistic school, and it straigihtway becamie
apparent, that no new leader for Manet's pupils was required. Whatever else post imlpressionismii miiay have done, it at least
began a new chapter of history and it was
seen that impressionism lhad spent its
course as a movement, just as clearly as
the Barbizon School had ended. So M.
Andre, like a fish who had swamil inlto a
(luiet back-water, kept his character inltact of cotirse, but could not expanid it with the
conlscious atuthority, of one who was breast
ing the rapids of contrary public opinion

anld leadling his tribes on to victor)y andc
the opeen sea. As an artist, howvever, Andre (loes not
appear to lack tasks, alnd in the I)resent ex
hibitioni of his work in the Durand-Ruel Galleries, it appears not only that he has
plenty of themes, but that he contrives to
be more than usually French in his attitu(le
towar(ls themii. That is the clhief reason
why the eye, especially the eye that lhas lovecl the real F:ranice, takes pleasure in
them. The wTorld loves the French lbe
cause they are so very humani and hence
understandable. The traveller of taste
used to finid a thousanid and one gratifica
tioIns for the eye in France, and those who
h1adI the luck to penetrate into the home
life of that land, took a pleasure that was
almost pathietic, in all the details of the
daily living. The very shapes of the small
rooms 'had somethlinig in them that seemed to relate them to humanity, and the fire
places, lamps and tables completed the ap peal. Even the portable batlhtubs are niot so objectionable as some stay-at-home Amiiericans might think, and at least they ar-e more painltable tlhan our perfected por celain affairs.
Andr6 recordls these interiors in an in timate way, so that one's heart-strings are
pullecl at. The few lanidscapes also have the quality of being peculiarly French. It should be added in the category of M. An lre's attainments, that he is an excellent
flower painter, one of the best existing in fact. He draws them sympathetically, surely and (lecoratively. His color in them is attractive, but not so scintillanit as the colors of Renoir's flower painitings.

noir and has conferred a favor upon the
devout New York lovers of this master, by
ilncluding a few studies of Renoir in his atelier and in his home. He is seen, seated in a wheeled clh-air painting from the
model, talking to a customer, and playinig
backgammon with his wife. Now that Rodin is dead, Renoir is without doubt the most venerated figure in the world of art today, and so these little pictures of hinfi
will command wide interest. All of the affection that the whole world gathered for the famous impressionists is now lav ished upon the chief relic of the days of glory now gone by, and'-added to that, the
young people of the day, have elected to
worship his very latest series of nudes, hail-'
ing them as modern. ' Whether 'these late
productions will hold their own with 'the work of Renoir's prime is a question, but
at least, it serves to make the world unani mous in loving this painter.

The portraits and still-lifes by Maurice Fromkes, now on exhibition in the Henry Reinhardt Galleries, show that this painiter has advanced since his last exhibition. He applies' the paint to the canvas in' a flat, smooth fashion, probably with a palette knife, so that his pictures have the sufr faces of enamels. He has posed most of his sitters against a black lacquer screen, aihd it is possibly this fondness for orien tal art that has affected his technique. Be that as it may, his color is sparkling and
spring-like; and for that reason especially' appropriate and successful in the portraits of children, some of 'Whom c6me, if' one is to judge by 'the names, frobmi Chicago.

To Those Who "Can't Afford It"
WA/HEN you hear a man say: "I can't afford to buy Liberty V .Bonds," ask him these questions: "Can you afford to see your country lose this war"
"Can you afford to see hundreds of thousands of the flower of American manhood lose their lives because of lack of equipment and munitions?"
"Can you afford to see your home violated and devastated by the Huns?"
"Can you afford to live under a German governor, appointed by the Kaiser"
"Can you afford to pay oppressive, ruinous taxes as long as you live, to help meet a colossal German indemnity"
You can't afford to buy' Liberty Bonds? YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO!

painted, are "Ann Ware and Margery," and "Shela," loaned by Mrs. Chauncey J. Blair,
Mrs. Laurance -Armour, and "Josephine" loaned by Mrs. Joseph Medill Patterson. William and Margaret Zorach have had
a joint show in the Daniel Gallery, showing undeniably cubistic paintings, and also em broideries and rugs in the same style. The rugs and embroideries were admired by evetybody but not so many championed the paintings. Nevertheless they were in ex cellent color, -and no stranger than many early prints and samplers that people of fashion love to hang up in their homes. Some of Mr. Zorach's pictures were evi dently religious character, if one might judge from the patriarchal heads, that stuck out here and there from behind the disjointed triangles and parallelograms of the compositions. D'iUring the same week of this exhibition, one of the numerous little theatres that are continually spring
ing up in out of the way parts of the town, put on a quite cubistic play by Alf red Kremborg, with settings and costumes by Mr. and Mrs. Zorach. Mr. Zorach also acted in the piece with success-so that it can be seen that it is still possible for an artist to have a good- time, if he only knows how.

Another exhibition that had distinct cubistic tendencies occurred in the Bour geois Galleries. The pictures and sculp tures had been carefully chosen from the works of our most advanced young people and were sympathetically hung. The gal leries were as gay as a flower garden in
May, for the "modernists" at least always seem to command good color. What could not fail to be remarked also, was the fact, previously observed in similar exhibi tions in Paris, that these new works of art were distinctly smart. Americans buy

turist vent. The present exhibition in the M\'ontross Gallery is of the work of Ran
dall Davey, a pupil of Robert Henri. Like all of Mr. Henri's pupils, Mr. Davey paints
dashingly, and at the expense of his draw
ing. Drawing is often dispensed with by
modern painters who supply some other
quality to fascinate us and distract our at
tention; but in Mr. Davey's case, the style
is built upon a presupposition of drawing, and the eye is always seeing the faults and
demanding their correction. The artist, however, may work his way out of his
morass, and it is to be sincerely hoped he
will soon. His color, at present, is his
main asset.
A fine portrait of Gainsborough, "Col
onel Townshend," has just been purchased
by Mr. Martin V. Kelley, of Toledo, Ohio,
the work being one of several "old mas
ters" acquired from the Ehrich Galleries,
707 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Mr. Kelley, who is well known in the automo bile industry, only recently began forming an art collection.
This picture is the portrait of an unl usually handsome young man, and it is par ticularly striking because of the contrast of the brilliant red coat and white stock witlh the dark background. It comes from a pri vate collection in England, and has the en dorsement of Sir Walter Armstrong, who wrote the authoritative work on Gainsbor ough, and A. H. Buttery, expert of the National Gallery.

R LEADERS of the FINE ARTS JOURNAL will be grieved to hear of the death of Charles Louis Borgmeyer whose
devotioni to art a n d artists has afforded them such an intimate acquaintance with the treasures of the Luxembourg Museum and the works of the Master Imnpressionists.
IV/lr. Borgmeyer was, by natuLre, a scholar, a traveler anid a connoisseur. H a v i n g reached the height of a brillianit profes sional career lhe retired to pursue his favor ite (liversionis in Museums and Studios, ac quiring works of art and an understanding of and friendship with artists.
Like the naturally genlerous ancl com
l)anionable man that he was, he did inot for get in the midst of these delights and di versions those other art lovers less favored by fortune who could not indulge personi
ally in this fascinating and uplifting pas time. His collection of photographs and notes
upon his travels awld experiences were care fully preserved with the idea of passing on to others, a little of that aesthetic enjoy
ment he himself lhad found suclh a source of interest and consolation in life.

lic th1rough the FINE ARTS JOURNAL was a
labor of love scarcely less than were the
experiences wlhich led to their compilation.
To the last he was true to his ideals anid
absorbed in his efforts for the benefit of
the arts and the art lox ers. He diedl in the
midst of his great work upon Frenclh sculp ture, begun some years ago andl interruptec bv illness. It was the intention of the FINE
ARTS JOURNAL to hiave brought out this volume in serial and, later, in book form and MVIr. 'Borgmeyer's loss at this time is, indeed, irreparable.
