LIBRARY (NO. 512 M. KNOEDLER & CO. 556-8 Fifth Ave. ! New York TO THE TERRIJOS FAIR a BY GONZALO BILBAO | , [NUMBER SEVEN] SALE NUMBER 1431 ON PUBLIC EXHIBITION FROM MAY TENTH, I9QIQ SEVENTY-THREE SPANISH PAINTINGS EXHIBITED AT THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION SAN FRANCISCO, 1915 | TO BE SOLD BY ORDER OF SENOR JOSE FERRANDO SPANISH COMMISSIONER TUESDAY EVENING, MAY TWENTIETH AT 8:15 O CLOCK THE ANDERSON GALLERIES PARK AVENUE AND FIFTY-NINTH STREET NEW YORK HIS collection of Spanish pictures was gathered together for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915, under the superintendence of Sefior José Ferrando, Spanish Commis- sioner to the Exposition. In the following year, 1916, the pictures were exhibited at The Panama-California International Exposition, San Diego. They are now offered at public sale so that Sefior Ferrando may return to Spain. The pictures were selected by a committee of Spanish Artists, which included such well-known painters as Ignacio Zuloaga and Sorolla y Bastida, whOse productions have been received with acclamation in America. Zuloaga is in the first rank of modern artists. The acquisition by The Boston Museum of Fine Arts of “My Uncle Daniel and His Family” was one of the most satisfactory, and also one of the most daring acquisitions of modern times. And those who have seen them can- not readily forget the romantic mysticism of his “Women of Sepulveda” and his portrait of “Mlle. Lucienne Bréval.” The eminent painters represented in this collection are akin to Zuloaga and Sorolla in their passion for portraying the scenes and characters of their own country. The painters of other countries are merging from Nationalism into Internationalism. The painters of Spain are today more National than ever. To walk round this exhibition is to take a walk through Spain. We see the detached, serious, remote peasants of Nevarra through the eyes of those remarkable brothers Ramon de Zubiaurre, and Valentin de Zubiaurre, both born deaf and dumb, the lack of those senses increasing the intensity of their vision; we see the eternal feminine in Juan Cardona’s dark, butterfly girls; we see the glow- ing canvasses of Carlos Vesquez, a deservedly popular artist, who has become a picture-postcard celebrity; we see the life of the cigarette makers and the gypsies displayed by the lively brush of Gonzalo Bilbao ; we see the sunny landscapes, with the towering clouds and heat-haze distances, of Eliseo Meifren; everywhere, in every picture, we see the gusto, the joy of life, the gay, eager portrayal of the present moment which is the note of modern realistic Spanish painting. This collection is more than a brilliant peep-show at the dancing, bull-fighting, picnicking, fair-day journeying, flower garden, church splen- dor, life of Spain. It opens an avenue to the past, to the ancestors of these vivid moderns. We see in the dim distance the grave figure of the 5 great Velasquez, a world master ; the unequal Murillo, so fine painted what his eyes saw ; the fascinating and fantastic El Greco, masterpiece at Toledo sent George Borrow into the seventh heaver admiration; the dark fervor of Zubaran and Ribera; the amazing a e 1 satility of Goya; the glitter of Fortuny ; the sombre liveliness of Zuloag: and so on the modern Spaniards here displayed, very much alive, ver ; expert, flashing before us the present look of immemorial Spain, dom nated today, as of yore, by King and Church, by Bull-fighter and Da Girl. ?

In this child study El Conde de Aguiar has no doubt had memories of the ill-fated children of Philip IV, who were painted by Velasquez.

GARDEN OF THE ALCAZAR, No. 2 [O64 ad bs These sunny landscapes recall vividly the hot stillness of Seville, and the wonders of the Alcazar Palace which, some think, is finer than the Alhambra. The father of the present King of Spain was born in the Alcazar Palace. Velasquez, it will be remembered, dur- ing his visit to Rome, painted two landscapes in the Medici Gardens, Rome. Sefior Bilbao, being a modern, paints the intense sunlight, not the pale sun-color that Velasquez dignified. Each, height, 25 inches; width, 34 inches. GARDEN OF SEVILLE Another Garden picture by Bilbao, luxuriant and luscious, where one may pick oranges and watch the goldfish darting through the water of the welcome well.

Here they are, their work finished for the day, on their way home. Some of them, perhaps all, will spend the evening with an attractive Toreador. This picture was awarded a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific International Ex- position, 1915. Height, 72 inches; width, 39 inches. GUGA Rs Faas This is a government cigar factory. Two of the girls are receiving a visitor and chatting. The rules are apparently not severe. Indeed, it seems more of a family gathering than a factory. Witness the baby!

The girls have a way of placing half a dozen cigarettes with pinches of tobacco on their bare arms. A quick movement, a flash, a rush of nimble fingers, and the cigarettes are rolled. Spain, a laggard in some things, is expert in the making of cigarettes. _, Height, 41 inches; width, 64 inches. 12 Peeenenm beEPORE THE ALTAR IN THE CATHEDRAL: OF SEVILLE Some visitors to Spain have been so fortunate as to see this dance which takes place once a year in the Cathedral of Seville. It dates back some hundreds of years and is performed by boys of well-born Spanish families before the assembled Cardinals. The story is that a group of lads dancing and playing surreptitiously in ancient times on this sacred spot were able to effect the capture of thieves who were attempting to rob the high altar. Many years ago the Pope was petitioned to end the sacrilege. He said: “The dance shall stop YU he when the costumes are worn out.” Needlewomen and repairers have kept the dance going.
