‘The Hearn Collection Of Old and Modern Art \ Fine Group of XVIIIth Century English Paintings—The American School in Good Form—Ivories and Porcelains By Royal The late George A. Hearn was a man! f warm and sympathetic nature, quick a helpful ways, altogether sanguine nd generous. These humune traits re- cted upon his proceedings as a collec- or. He bought works of art wholly ecauso he liked them, not as invest- rents; he bought lavishly and some- imes impulsively, Considering in its angth and breadth the collection of aintings and miscellaneous objects shich the executors of his will have laced on view at the American Art talleries, prior to its dispersal at uction, one recognizes immediately the rigin it had in a wholehearted en- husiasm for art as art, a gusto for eautiful things regardless of school or ank, Collectors are of very diverse ypes. The present writer recalls cer- ain connoisseurs of the intensely spe- jalized kind, M, Doucet and his mas- erpieces of eighteenth century France, {. Dreyfus and his Renaissance mar- les and medals, Mr. Freer and the cult or Oriental antiquity which he has de- eloped along with his passion for Vhistler and a few other Americans. Ir. Hearn had some clearly defined astes. There is no mistaking his rdor for American painting, for Sir oshua and his circle and for ancient vories. But all the time that he was nteresting himself in these matters .e was ranging over illimitable fields icking up old masters of every period nd school, and collecting many of the noderns, English, Dutch, French and oon. He was an eclectic if ever there yas one, and whether from his very vatholicity or from the impulsiveness iforementioned, he not infrequently ‘ound himself with a poor picture on iis hands. But this never dulled his nstinct for fine things. The negligible ‘anvases in the present exhibition are nowerless to obscure the remarkable yody of good paintings it contains. A judicious scheme ef hanging has soncentrated in the first large room nost of the leading old masters in the sollection. The British school prevails, vet, if there is one canvas which more chan any other gloriously distinguishes che place, it is the big Guardi, the “Sea- sort and Classic Ruins in Italy,” which -he fates ought promptly to bestow apon the Metropolitan Museum. It is 1 museum picture, because of its scale and monumental character; but, as -t happens, it contains the subtlest es- sence of the Venetian master, illustrat- ing as eloquently as any of his smaller, ' more spontaneous, works the sincere and delicately luminous of composition. Study of it will reveal :o the observer the reason why Guardi has so often been cited as a forerunner of the impressionists. It is a very modern sort of luadscape truth that is fused with the beauty of this picture. Facing it is the celebrated version of Gainsborough’s “Blue Boy,” which has always been a subject of debate, and on which the catalogue frankly reports all the well known dubieties of criti- vism. These dubieties are impossible to ignorc; they are natural and inevi- table, especially for the commentator who has made a careful examination of tho “Blue Boy” at Crosvenor House. It is said that within the last few months the Duke of Westminster has had $300,000 offered to. him for his painting, that he held out for $400,000, and that two American collectors have declined it at that figure. If this is true, we can only express surprise that the portrait was not immediately sold over here. It is a thrilling piece of painting, as consummately character- istic of Gainsborough as the “Perdita naturalism ; anderlying his rather theatrical type: Cortissoz More protean it was done in 1769, when urney got the Oxford degree implied in his costume. Reynolds him- self would then have been in his prime, using his brush with ease and enargy. The broad, robust character of the portrait is exhilarating. The version of his “Age of Innocence,” that picture in the National Gallery which is prob- ably the most popular of all his studies of children, is a first rate replica, The other Sir Joshuas are interesting with- out being impressive. The “Lady Spencer” (in one of the upper gal- leries) has his accustomed elegance, but the hands are weak. The best of the three Romneys is the three-quarter length of “Miss Hollingsworth,” typi- cal in composition and even more char- acteristic in the suave painting of ihe lovely head. Hoppner’s “Miss Denison” is a charming thing, and a little amus- ing, by the way, in the prophecy which it embodies, the Reeve acy of one of Sir Thomas Lawrence's favorite for- mulas. Beechey, who every now and Robinson” of the Wallace collection, and that is Gainsborough raised to the nth power. It is the competition of the Grosvenor House version which does more than any of the obscurities' and puzzlements of historical research to challenge the prestige of the Hearn portrait. One of the guesses about ther atter, duly recorded in the catalogue, is that Hoppner painted it, having had he original in his possession at.one ime, with every opportunity to make copy of it. However this may be, the rucial point lies in the handling. ainsborough’s “feathery” touch is issing from the figure. His bravura in the treutment of landscape is in no ise manifested in the cold _ back- ground. On the other hand, an impor- tant fact remains to be reckoned with —-namely, that there never would have been any argument about the two ver- sions at all if this one had not hap- pened to be x very handsome portrait. The portraiture otherwise represented in this room raises no “historic doubts.” It is the characteristic por- traiture of England and the Low Coun- tries, that kind of formal, dignified painting which seems profoundly aca- demic beside our modern productions, ‘entirely impersonal as compared with the work of, say, Whistler or Sargent, but possessed of a serene distinction to which the connoisseur will always gratefully return. It is interesting to note, moreover, how the personal force of the master invariably makes.itself felt through even the courtliest of conventions. Take, for example, the “Dy, Charles Burney,” by Reynolds, The catalogue mentions that it wus exhibited at the Royul Academy in 1781, but it must have been painted years before, since it shows the father of the immortal Fanny as a young man, then turns up in the exhibitions to excite surmises as to why he is not given better rank in the British hier- archy, is particularly well represented. “The Horsley Children” is a capital picture. And Zoffany, another minor figure, may be seen in a “Portrait of a Lady” of quite exceptional merit. It is a kind pf echo of Gainsborough and has a sweetness that is without a trace of mawkish taint, The “Lady Stan- hope,” by Cotes, is too big a canvas, too much of a.“parade” piece, to com- municate his usual charm, but it has a certain stately distinction, like the similarly proud full length of “Anne Hyde, Duchess of York,” painted by Sir Peter Lely. Both these canvases illustrate the successful effect that is to be got out of shcer scale. A few Jandscapes aro scattered among the portraits, admirable pieces by Solomon Ruisdael and Old Crome; there is a fine Canaletto—the “Ponte della Canareggie”—and of the two Mor- lands the “Noonday Rest” is to be cordially noted. The single Turner, hig “Fitz Alan Chapel, Arundel,” is also a useful factor in the ensemble. But in this part of the show special signifi- cance attachos to the numerous exam- ples of old Dutch and Flemish por- traiture. The large “Family Group,” by Van der Helst, supplies perhaps the best touchstone, a sterling specimen of the simple merits belonging to a bourgeois yet somehow distinguished school. Mr. Hearn had a marked predi- lection for these pecullarly human and sympathetic canvases. Downstairs, where the Van der Helst hangs, there are several works of kindred value, notably the two portraits of a beruffed gentleman and his wife (Nos. 831 and 382) modestly catalogued as school pieces, but strong enough to deserve a Vt ARG a8 NEW: ‘ .Y OKIA TRIBU N i, better rating {f At could be worked out, and al] through,the galleries there are constantly ' encountered portraits of this. gravely. decorative character. It is Impossible ta traverse, them in de- tail. One may note, simply, :the pres- ence of excellent examples of such ya- ried: individualg as Bol end Coello Mignard and Brvyn, the Pourbuses and Drouais. Shining forth among all these immobile souvenirs of the older régime is the tense, precise portrait of “Juan Manuel Alvarez de Faria,” by Goya, a superb page from.the more polished annals of the brilliant eighteenth cen- tury Spaniard. Apropos of things Spanish, there is an artist here vividly reminding us of Mr, Hearn’s readiness to depart from the beaten paths when he saw a good thing beckoning to him. This is the minor master ‘of Madrid, Frvncisco Collantes, who was born in the same year as Velasquez. He is unknown compared with that portent, but his “Flight Into Egypt,” in the present collection, is pjquantly suggestive of the surprise sometimes concealed be- hind the mournful appellation of “Ig- noto.” It dogs not matter that the blacks are a little oppressive. The scene as a whole is wonderfully dra- THE GAINSBOROUGH BLUE BOY (From the painting in the Hearn collection) matic. Mr. Hearn, we gather, was stirred by him. He acquired another Collantes, the long, narrow “Landscape and Figures,” which, again, is not a great picture, but has an undeniable quality. The miscellaneous old mas~ ters, if we may so describe them, most persuasively assert themselves in just this way, at odd moments here and there, and not always through any po- tency of established renown. Thus the luminous, even sparkling, “Cattle and Landscape” of Philippe de Louther- bourg has a delightful salience denied to some of its far more pretentious companions, Another picture that re- ujires to be sought out—it is in the urthest room—is the religious subject by Antonio del Castillo, the “Plaiting the Crown of Thorns,” a striking work a a little known pupil of Zurbaran. The Italian pictures, mostly acceptable school pieces, form a fair contingent, but are subordinate to the English and Dutch group. In the modern wing, which occupies a great deal of the space in the up- per galleries, one thinks first of the good luck that Mr, Hearn had in find- ing so many beautiful pictures and then, looking further into the matter, one is even more attracted by a per- sonal trait disclosed, We have spoken of his gusto. There is evidence here of a peculiarly winning characteristic in a collector, his swift response to new appeals, his curiosity and his will- ingness to back up that curiosity by support of the artists producing it, Mr. Hearn was not drawn by all the modern movements. He does not ap- pear to have concerned himself with the Impressionists, or with the Whist- lerians, and he refused to have any traffic whatever with the fantastic in- novators of recent years. But he was interested-in the younger men every where, when they were to be taken se-, riously, and his collection admirably shows this. The “Evening in the| Desert,” study of lions in a beautiful, landscape, is one of the finest can- vases J. M. Swan ever painted, Orpen, Morrice, Lavery, Horne), aro all well represented, and there are fewer than) five paintings- by the brilllant Scotch etcher, D, Y. Cameron. The threo land- scapes by this artist are not, to be sure, especially ingratiating, but we rejoice in the taste that led Mr, Hearn to ac- quire the two Maris-like figure pieces “Lillian,” a study in brown and scarlet and ‘Wild Roses,” an arrangement in subdued black and white. The doriva- tion from:Maris is obvious, but the witchery of these canvases is too yen- uine to be attributed to anything save Cameron’s instinctive gift. Mr. Hearn POnERS some French and English pictures, landscapes and figury pieces, which presumably belong to his earlier years as u collector, and suggest an interest in subject colors, but from these Camerons, as from many other canvases, it is plain that as he went on he was beguiled more and more by ae painting. The same impression & conveyed by the group of Barbizon and more or less related paintings. The great names are here, but not in stereotyped examples. The Corots are the noble classical composition, ‘Le Joueur de Flute” and the charming “Girl Reclining.” The three Daubignys, all good, include his huge gray ‘‘Ma- rine,” a sombrely magnificent canvas. Diaz, Dupré, Decamps are present in creditable aspects. There are four fine peintings by Monticelli, and one of them is the vast; sunny “Triumph of Flora,” which for so long a time made a resplendent space in the old Cottier gallery. Mr, Hearn must have had courage to buy that immense decora- tion, And he must have had a rich vein of discernment to buy the land- scape by Monticelli, (No. 183) in the first of Me smaller rooms upstairs, In works like this, in fact, beautiful ex- amples of painter’s painting, the col- lection is all the time revealing itself to advantage. Witness the eight or ten sketches by Boudin, the little picture by Jongkind, the “Windy Day” by V. ce Ville, the “Nautilus Shell” by Vol- lon, the “Avenue d’Orleans” by Raf- fuelli, and so on through a considera- ble list. Some of the prizes of this sale will be discovered among the smaller, nominally less “important” paintings. The American school, having the great upper room to itself, suggests the idea which we have already ex- pressed regarding Mr. Hearn's collec- tion, the idea of a miniature museum. And it is not such a “miniature” museum, either. There are 139 pictures here. Eight Wyants, of different periods, illustrate the fine sentiment and delicate ekill of that pioneer, and his comrade, George Inness, is repre- sented by three works which admi- rably commemorate the essential pas- sages in his career, The “Berkshire Hills” is an early picture, typical of his tighter” but still massive man- ner. In the late “Wood Gatherers” we see him at his apogee, a kind of orches- _ tral master of color and synthesized forms. The little Italian study, ‘Near Perugia," done casually on mill board, affords a glimpse into his workshop, showing us the constructive fundamen- tals of his art. Homer Martin’s curi- ous, tempermental quality affirms it- self in “A Glimpse of the Sea.” one of the most original of his compositions. There is a panel of half a dozen Blake- locks, all interesting, and one of them, ‘the dark russet and blue “Landscape” ‘ (No. 113), looms up with the power of a noble Diaz, The late John La Farge is happily included in the company, a landscape painted in the early 80’s recalling his quality of style in a vein of impressive simplicity. The older men come inevitably into the foreground, but they do not by any means dominate. Mr, Hearn fad a constant interest in our landscape tradition. The pictures by Wyant and Innesg are followed by those of D. W. Tryon and J, Francis Murphy, the col- lected paintings uy Charles Melville Dewey, George ~. Bogert, H. W,. Ranger and Theodore Robinson. There are four pictures by Robinson, every one of them full of his rare talent. The important figure piece, the “Girl Sewing,” is among them, Dewing is represented by an early nude, “The Sorceress,” a piece which well indi- cates the knowledge of drawing and modelling upon which his exquisite art nar. -_ =. nw ~ “74 4 ~- x. ~~ rs fe os: cae ey Bs) : UWP y % SEAESOSEREAEOS St EASR a WEDNESDAY, PE BAU AL rests to-day, the wmaller items, certain to be wel- comed in the sale, the sketches and unassuming pictures which have high We referred just now to intrinsic merit. In such works the American section is particularly rich. Mr. Hearn had a way of giving a nota- ble American painting to the Metro- politan or some other museum. Ilvre are quantities of the fine performances which, if not precisely adapted to that purpose, are if anything better calcu- lated for the more modest galleay, paintings by Horatio Walker, Robert L. Newman, C. H. Davis, F. W. Kost, Louis P, Dessar and a dozen others, They are well painted, likable things. With this collector, as with Dr. John- son’s philosophical interlocutor, “cheer- fulness was always creeping in.” We have but little space left in which to survey the remaining objects which testify to his energy and zeal, Furni- ture, rugs, bronzes and porcelains fill much of the space, The porcelains em- brace some good single color glazes and a distinguished array of Hawthorn jars, In the domain of ivories he was insati- able, assembling a fairly bewildering mass of statuettes and other carvings of all epochs. These curios range from antique simplicity to Renaissance flam- boyance, from the avetere forms of the Consular Diptych, in the time of Mar- cus Aurelius; to the lavish ornamenta- tion of German tankards. Some of the early French examples strikingly illus- trate the genius of medieval sculpture. The specialists to whom this part of the collection is addressed will be con- fronted by an embarassment of riches. The specialist in more than one depart- ment is here well prepared for, notably in the small collection of Roman and Arabic iridescent glass, But it is with recollection of Mr. Hearn’s catholicity that we end, as we began. He cared for beautiful things of all kinds. It is of such things that his collection is composed. GEORGE A.

To the Metropolitan Mu- seum, Mr. Hearn gave outright over 100 representative paintings, including some eighty works by American artists, all of which are now shown in two large galleries there and, in addition, provided a fund of $250,000, the income of which is to be used in the purchase of paintings by American artists. The magnitude of the collections is such that they will require some ten sessions to disperse, including five evening sessions in the Plaza ballroom, where the paintings only will be sold, The cataloging of the collections will re- quire the services of experienced persons and will necessarily consume considerable time, and until the catalog is near com- pletion, definite dates for the public exhibi- tion at the American Art Galleries, and dates of the sale will not be announced by the American Art Association. But in all probability the sale will be held in the forepart of the winter season of 1918 Nearly 500 Paintings Mr. Hearn’s paintings number nearly 500 examples by masters of the ancient and modern schools, and the American school alone is represented by about 100 works of high quality. Pictures by artists of the British school are second in number to the American sec- tion in Mr. Hearn’s collection and include, among other important paintings, “The Blue Boy,” given to Gainsborough, a work which has occasioned considerable discussion, and brought forth opinions by students of ea:ly English art to the effect that .the Hearn “Blue Boy” is the original and that owned by the Duke of Westminster is a replica, but that both are by Gainsborough. Other celebrated English masters are represented as follows: Reynolds by “Lady Stanhope,” “Dr. Charles Burney,” “Lady spencer,” “Mr, Hillyarr,” “The Age of Innocence” and “James Paine”; Romney by “Lady Hamilton as_a Vestal,” “Miss Eleanor Gordon” and “Miss Hollingsworth’; Raeburn Dyes rore trait of a Gentleman”; Turner by “Fitz Alan Chapel, Arundel’; John Constable bya. ihe Valley Farm,” “Deadham Mill,” “George Gassard A. R. A.,” “Windsor Castle,” “The Farm Cart,” “Landscape, Suffolk’ and “Hampstead Heath”; Beechey by ‘Portrait of Mrs. Humphrey”; Francis Cotes by “Lady Hardwicke” and “Miss Broughton,” and Gainsborough, further represented by “Lady Sheffield” and “Landscape and Cattle.” Sir Thomas Lawrence is also represented by “Portrait of a Lady,” “Lady Mackenzie” and. “Portrait of John Julius Angerstein’”’; Hoppner by “Portrait of Miss Denison” and Barker of Bath, R. P. Bonington, Cos- way, Old Crome, Dobson, Harlow, Sir Peter Lely, George Morland, Stark, Wat- son-Gordon and Zoffany are all represented by one or more character examples, and among the modern British painters, D. Y. Cameron is exemplified by five works, John Lavery by two, J. J. Shannon by three, and Swan and Bromley each by a represen- tative picture. The Italian School Although represented by a comparatively small number of pictures this section in- cludes a remarkably fine Canaletto, “Porte della Carmanegio,” an unusually important Guardi, “Seaport and Classic Ruins, Italy,” and five smaller examples. By Jacopo Marieschi there are two fine examples, and Albano, Bonifazio, Croce, Il Vecchio, Ricci, Il Sassoferrato, Da_ Siena, Tintoretto, Veronese, Van Vittelli and Zuccvelli are each represented by superior works. The old masters of the French school include the following works: “Grand Sun- set. Genoa,” and “L’Amour et Psyche,” by Claude Lorrain, and important portraits and landscapes by Danloux, Gascar, De Lairesse, De Largilliere, Le Main, Lepicie, Pierre Mignard, Poussin, Tocque and Van OG: Dutch and Flemish Artists Ferdinand Bol, Brughel, Rubens, Gerard Dow, Hobema, Hanneman, Janssens, Jan Looten, Peter Nason, Pourbus, the elder, Jacob and Solomon Van Ruysdael, Teniers, the younger, Van der Neer, Van Ostade, Van Ascn, Van Lhulden, Van Bloemen, Van der Helst, Verspronck, Jan Victoors and Wynants are all well represented. The Spanish old masters represented in- clude Coello, Collantes, De la Cruz, Goya, Je Faria, Saavedra and Zurbaran. Barbizon and Contemporaneous Modern Foreign Schools In the upwards of 100 modern foreign works, there are by Corot (2), Daubigny (3), Diaz (2), Dupre (2), Troyon (2), ind there are works by Rosa Bonheur, Boudin (11), Bouguereau,.

Ranger, Sartain, Newman, Lathrop, John Lafarge, Irving Wiles, Lawson and ltawthorne one each. George H, Bogert, a protege of Mr. Hearn, is represented by upwards of 5( examples, considered the most important and exainples of his best work. Collection of Antique Ivory Carvings The collection of nearly 500 specimens dating from the XIII to the XVIII cen- tury, including many rare specimens of ivzantine, Gothic and Renaissance periods. are by artists of the French, Italian, Por- tuenucse and German nations. The Oriental porcelains comprise some 400 specimens of single colors, decorated, blue and white, blane de chine and egg-shell poreelans of the Mine, K'ane-hsi and Clvien-lung periods. Yhe miniatures and cabinet gems are numerous, and among the miniatures are cxamples of Cosway, Nasmyth, Bone, Fleu- ruin, Roudin, Dumond, Vestiers, Isabey, David, Guerin and Humphreys. Among the cabinet gems are many snuff boxes with niiniatures inserted, Greek and Roman glass and other rare and interesting objects. The bronzes include the work of Barve, Meunier and other celebrated sculptors. Rare and Costly Art Furniture Among this is a Louis XIV drawing suite of carved and gilded wood, upholstered in very fine old Beauvais tapestry illustrat- ing the fables of La Fontaine: tapestry panels, screens, Louis NVI tables and other antique furniture of artistic character. The Oriental rugs and embroideries are numerous and of rare and fine quality. LESSONS OF HEARN SALE In the course of a long article on the re- cent Hearn picture sale in the current (April) issue of the “International Studio, Mr. Charles L. Buchanan argues very per- tinently, confirming the already expressed opinion of the American Art News, that the result of said sale proved that American art has at last “come into its own. ; Mr. Buchanan says in part: 1% - ¢¢-/% "The Hearn sale of foreign and American pictures, served to fulfil in a sensational and unmistakable fashion the belig¢fs and expectations of that small minority of persons who have consistently adver- tised and advoeated the incomparable merits of American painting. The salient feature of the sale was the prices brought by American pictures. To say as much is merely to record the concrete in- vincibility of statistics. The question of personal prejudice and personal interpretation has nothing to do with the matter, Over and beyond all excres- cences of incident and idiosynerasy of opinion, over and lyeyond all theoretical disagreements and an- tagonisms, one fact of supreme significance projects itself—the fact, repeatedly emphasized by the present writer, that American painting is the dominant issue in the art world of this country today. Modern Americans Pass European Works “The Hearn sale conclusively demonstrated the accuracy of perception possesed and exercised by those persons who have realized that America is pro- ducing and has produced great art. But it did more. It hinted tremendously, if we may so express our- selves, of revolutionary conditions and developments in the art world; conditions and developments of a nature unthinkable a bare half-dozen years ago, The spectacle of two houses of fundamentally foreign affil- lations, Knoedler & Company and Scott & Fowles, competing with each other for the purchase of Ameri- can pictures while foreign pictures were allowed to go practically unsupported, supplies us with an in- calculable indication of the essential gist of things. And this essential gist of things is, if we correctly ap- prehend it, something as follows: Foreign art of whatever period and of whatever nationality must stand or fall in the future on its merits alone. It can rely no longer upon a spurious prestige. The time has gone by when a foreign trade-mark could he confidently expected to sell a picture to the Amer- ican public.” Hearn Foreign Art “Mediocre”? “\ question arises: Does all this indicate that an unstable public taste has turned, temporarily or per- manently as the case may be, against foreign art and in favor of American art? We would not go so far as to commit ourselves to so crucial a decision, It may he argued, for example, that Mr. Tlearn's col- ection of foreign paintings was mediocre. Towever this may he, it is probable that his foreign art would vave brought higher prices six years age than it rrought in the sale recently concluded. Some Personal Opinions The remainder of Mr. Buchanan's reada- rle article, which space limitations will not yermit of republishing in toto, discusses the relative merits of certain of Mr, Hearn’s foreign and American pictures and his per- sonal opinion of the prices paid for some examples of both, He notes that while Daubigny’s “On the Oise” brought the high- est figure paid for any foreign picture in the sale—namely, $8,200—a Wyant brought $21,500, a Blakelock $17,500, a Murphy $15.- 600, and an Inness $30,800, and that a 16x22 Murphy brought $3,800, as against the $3,500 paid for an “excellent” Troyon. — He thinks that the comparatively low price of $875 paid for a Tryon was “a legitimate reflex of the picture’s inherent deficiency,” is pleased that Ernest Law- son's works were admired and congratulates the Corcoran Gallery on its acquisition of Theo, Robinson's ‘Girl Sewing.” Senator Clark’s Murphy Mr. Buchanan believes that “ex-Senator W. A. Clark rendered J. Francis Murphy singular disservice in paying for the latter's landscape the preposterous price of $15,600, but says that “the Senator temporarily rati- fied the absurd notion, prevalent among dealers, that Murphy’s art ceased 16 years ago, when, as a matter of fact, it only began 16 years ago, and his pictures painted pre- vious to that period have no standing what- soever in the judgments of authentic critics Of painting.” He declares there was no Murphy in the Hearn collection comparable to certain noted examples in the Shepherd, Burton and Baldwin collections, and asks: “Ts it possible that ex-Senator Clark is the kind of buyer that does not hesitate to nay an exorbitant price for an indifferent work of art so long as the oceas’on lye a conspicuous one? Thinks Wyant Overrated The $3.600 paid by the Macbeth Galleries for a Homer Martin. Mr. Buchanan thinks, “approximated something like a just valua- tion of the picture’s intrinsic worth,’ and he says that “The finest Blakelock in the collection ag for Gee disnronportionately inconspicuous price of $2,100, against the vastly inflated figure of $17,500 paid for the same artists ‘Landscape.’ Second in impor: tance,” he continues. “to Mr. Clark's unfortunate ex- hibition of a taste idiosyncratic. rather than eouitable, sivas the $21,500 (bought for Mr. JTacoh Schiff) paid. for the large Wyant. We are not one of those for whom the name of Wyant is sacrosant, Despite ou veneration for the unouestionable integrity of th sian’s artistic and spiritual morale, we believe tha his art is vastlv overrated, and we believe that a time will come when its inherent incomneteney will he letected and acknowledged. Wyant was unquestion ably the weakest of our early painters. and an en Aorsement is accorded him that might better by fa he accorded the work of a number of our contem ee aad et ym eit ae sa Rast Sain ily ae : ib tn “sgueen 6 Ap. arava Dae nd lien Minaey are va ~ ui hs git ? ee Ps be ; ie La ; zal spine Thott AN QR!

The chief lot of the pictures by old masters and British artists was the much-discussed version of the Duke of Westminster's ‘‘ Blue Boy ” (Master Buttall) by Gainsborough, which Mr. Hearn prized above all his ictures, and for which ho paid a large sum in 1900. The picture had been in America for some years, and its former owner, Mr. W. H. Puller, in 1898 printed an exhaustive pamphlet on tho tival claims of the two versions. The picture, which is a whole- length life size, was exhibited at Messrs Hogarth’s gallery, Mount-strect, Grosvenor-square, London, in July, 1870, and caused a great deal of discussion at tho time in the press. It is unquestionably a very (ine picture, and now sold for $38,000 (£7,600). 4 Another remarkable price was paid for Turner’s ‘“ Fitzalan Chapel, Arundel,” which was bought at a sale at Christie’s in 1888 for 320 guineas, and now again changed hands at the very advanced price otf $20,500 (£4,100). A fine Venetian scene by F.. Quardi, the entrance to the Grand Canal, with numerous gondolas and other boats, brought $10,400 (£2,080) ; a large picture of classical ruins by thes same artist, $5,100 (£1,020), A picture By aH oe Bonington sold for $4,800 (£960); a who e-lengtb. portrait of Lady Stanhope, by Francis Cotes, $5,300! (£1,060) ; two portraits ascribed to Sir Joshua Reynolds, Dr. Burney and Lady Spencer, sold respectively for $5,000 (£1,000 and $5,300 (£1,060) ; Romney’s early portrait of Miss Hollingsworth, a three-quarter length, $8,100 (£1,020); a portrait of an unknown lady by J. Zoffany, $4,800 (£960) ; a group of the Horsley children by Sir William Beechey, $4,000 (£800); and a work by George Morland of a sow and her young, apparently the W. H. Forman picture which sold for 96 guineas at Sotheby’s in London in 1899, now fetched $4,200 gti 24 of Sir Joshua Roynolds’s “ Age of Inno- cence,’ bought a good ‘many years ago, sold for $4,700 (£940) ; a small version of John Constable's “ Valley Farm,” which belongs to Miss Constable, brought $2,000 (£400) ; and Tom Mostyn's ‘* Domain of Arnheim” heed bi (£600). One of the veral pictures by D. Y. Cameron, palate os 1910, sold for $2,050 (£410). pictures and prices were :—W. Orpen’s On the Beach,” $1,050 (£210); Julius Olffon s. Silver Night,” $750 (£150) ; Austen Brown's | By the River,” $525 (£105); and Harold Stced’s Roses and Chintz ''--which was in the Royal Academy in 1908—S725 (£145). HIGH PRICES AT THE: HEARN SALE. ee (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) NEW YORK, Fes. 26. Phe sale of the extensive art collections of the 7 Alrpeg ene) A. Hearn, of this city, yh wero described in The Times of December 2% last, is now being held here by the American Art ‘Association. AS was anticipated, high prices are being realized. A black hawthorn. vas¢ fetched $24,000 (£4,800), and a picturo by the American artist George Innes, Woo CGatherers,”’ $30,800 (£6,160). The works oi other American artists included two by. A. iH Wyant, “In the Adirondacks,” $21.50( (£4,300); and a small summer Ne ace #2 $10,100 (£2,020) ; a Jandscape by J. F. Murphy $15.000 (£3,000): and a landscape by Ralp] Blakelock, 817,500 (£3,400). The late George A Hearii?*witose’ exten- i sive art collections are ow on exhibition at the American Art Galleries, where, most effectively arranged and displayed under the Jadecomplished and experienced direction of 1 Miss Lorenz, they lll not only the nine walleries usually devoted to pictures, porce- Jamns and furniture, but the three large print and bookrooms, and even the salesroom— and which are to be sold by Mr. Thomas Ik, Wirby of the \imerican Art Association— the art properties at the galleries on every afternoon of next week, and Monday after- noon of March 3, and the pictures in the Plaza Hotel ballroom, Monday to Friday evenings inclusive, also of nevt week; was 1ot an ordinary collector, This is proven, not only by the wide ‘ange and variety of his collections—now or the first time really known, as they are lisplayed at the galleries—even to his host of friends whom he delighted to entertain it his city residence—and even at his place of business, where he kept, not only the overflow from his too small house, wall and floor space, but even some of his best loved treasures, but from the evidence they give of a constant and persistent pursuit of art from sheer love of the pursnit and the subject, not from the mere pride of posses- sion and desire to emulate or surpass fellow collectors, which, it is to be feared, are the inciting cause of much of the collecting of art in America. A Collector of Art for Pleasure—Not Gain From a close acquaintance and friendship of many years, the writer can testify to the dead collector’s sincere pleasure in search- ing after and securing art works from the delight he found in them—and the joy of capture. He was not a bidder at auction sales—he preferred the visit to the studio and the artists’ club—the exhibition private view, and especially the journeying to European art centers, and to such leading American exhibitions as the International Carnegie in Pittsburgh. In all these places ve studied and bought—not works of any ane schcol or painter---although he had his ‘favorites among the older and modern schools and artists and artisans, but be- cause he liked and found pleasure in a work or works. Take, for example, some of his last purchases—the clever oils of the modern Russian, Nicolas Fechin; the Englishmen, Tom Mostyn, David Y. Cameron, E. A. Hornel, Hughes-Stanton, Harold Speed, Austen Brown and William Orpen: the Frenchman, Raphael Collin, and the Spani- ard, Jurres, men, save Orpen, not well known here and whose works were there- fore certainly not bought for investment, but because he liked them, The same in- centive to acquire, not for names, but for personal liking, influenced many of his pur- chases of older pictures, as for example, the strong landscapes of the little known early Spaniard Collantes, and it has been an error—a prevalent one in art circles—it must be admitted, that Mr. Hearn had not sufficient art knowledge to prevent his ac- quisition of wrongly or even falsely at- tributed art works at times. Starting with a love of art, he acquired, in time, and through constant study, a more than ordinary knowledge, and while, of course, he made mistakes and did purchase wrongly attributed and, it is to be feared, falsely attributed works now and then—any fair minded, competent person must frankly admit, after a careful study of his vast pos- sessions as now diplayed, that the good far outweigh the poor among them. There have been and will be carping critics of some of the pictures, the ivories, pottery and porcelains, and other objects to be dispersed next week in this most unusual sale, and the auction of the season—but who among col- lectors could have amassed collections of such wide range and variety, and among which are so many real treasures, and made fewer mistakes than did Mr. Hearn? Services to American Art But apart from Mr dlearn’s standing as an art collector, \merican art and artists, American muscums and the cause of art in general in the United States, owe Mr. Hearn a debt of gratitude which can never be sufficiently appreciated, Tle was in truth an art patron and benefactor, always ready to respond to the call of art and art upbuild- ing in this country How many other American collectors of the few here who ranged afield in their collecting bought and supported American art as he did? The Metropolitan Museum—of which he was for many years a trustee—owes, chiefly, to Mr. Hearn, its interest in and acquisition of American pictures—and art in general made possible. after long years of neglect Le Osh HY turing wbicews aii PUUMUIdIL svineiivats trustees, His gift of a most superior collec- tion of American pictures to the museum, and his creation and bequest of a fund for the purchase of American pictures and their upkeep, in the museum by Mr. Hearn, followed and kept pace with his persistent advocacy of American art, and the necessity of its acquisition bs the museum, to his fellow trustees. He proved his faith by his works, and it is gratifying to record that his finest pictures, taken as a whole group, and the sale of which will be the feature of the coming auction, are by modern Ameri- can painters. Wide Range of Collection _ It is of course impossible in a single art- icle and, with limited space, to give even an idea of the variety and interest of the Hearn collections. The handsome catalog de luxe, in which the many thousand items are well described by competent writers and students, and the more striking of which are beautifully illustrated, is in itself a study of days. No art collections have ever come oi the N. Y, market which excel those of Mr. Hearn in range and variety. The Much Discussed “Blue Boy” It has been thought wise to give, as the frontispiece of the Arr News this week, a Teproduction of the well known Picture, entitled ‘The Blue Boy,” for familiar as it is through countless reproductions, public interest will centre in its auction fate. Whether, as the late William H, Fuller, at the sale of whose pictures, Feb. 23, 1898, Mr. Hearn purchased the canvas for $50,000 believed, and as Mr, Hearn firmly believed to his death, this picture is the Original “Portrait of Master Buttall,” better known as “The Blue Boy,” by Gainsborough, or another version by his master hand of the similar work owned by the Duke of Devon- shire, or, as has been argued, a copy by no less a hand than that of Hoppner, or even by some lesser brush, of the Devonshire Picture, may never be known, but that the Hearn canvas is a striking and impressive One cannot be gainsaid. It is generally believed that Gainsborough first showec “The Blue Boy” at the Royal Academy ol 1770 and the earliest mefition of the work is found in Jackson’s essay on Gainsbor. ough, published ten years after the artist’s death, where it is spoken of as “already fa- mous.” Edward Edwards, in his sketch o Gainsborough in his “Anecdotes of Paint ers,” published in 1808, says the work “i: now in the possession of Mr. Hoppuer,’ which gives credence to the theory tha Hoppner copied, as well he might havc been tempted to do, so fine a subject. There has never been any question as tc the authenticity of the Devonshire “Bluc Boy.” and so the question remains: Whe painted the Fuller-Hearn version? The controversy over this picture, which has raged for many years, will be again revived by its present offering for sale. Early English Pictures Of the other early English pictures in the Hearn collections, some are of unusual quality, but they vary much in merit. The works of the Norwich school, two of the seven examples of Constable, two of the five Boningtons, Cotes’ “Lady Stanhope,” Raeburn's “Portrait of a Gentleman,” the soft-toned church interior, by the great Turner, and Reynolds’ “Dr, Burney” are perhaps the best. Works by Early Continental Masters Of the early Continental schools there are several examples, notably, two of AI- bani, typical in color, a ‘Portrait of an Art- ist,” given_to Ferdinand Bol, two Bonifa- zios, two Coellos, two examples of the old Spanish landscapist. Collantes, a Gerard Dou. a fair Goya portrait, three large and superior Guardis (one, “Ruins with Fig- ures,” beautiful in quality), a Palma Vec- chio, a Pourbus, several examples of the old Dutchman, Van de Helst, Van der Neer, Van de Velde, Van Goyen, van Os- lade, Verspronek, Victoors and Jan Wy- nants, which are worthy of attention, Modern Foreign Canvases The modern foreign schools are well represented, notably by a_ splendid group of ten Boudins, two Brascassats. three Cazins, a figure Corot, three Coutures (including his famous large composition. “Love Drives the World”), two of three fairly ue 7F. gitAnaaye PAy ‘ “* BRE SHR three Dupres, a Fromentin, two tiaipry nies, a Jongkind, two Laverys (a landscape ind a figure), two Michels, a Pasini, a Poks- tinow, a Raffaelli, a Ribot, a Roybet, two Troyons, a Ziem and a Zorn. There are, of the modern Dutchmen, examples of Kever (4), Jacob and William Maris, Mauve (cattle), Neuhuys, Israels and Weissenbruch, while of other nationali- ties, not already mentioned, one_ finds Thaulow, Olsson, Cabat, Courbet, Fechin, Lerolle, Albert Lynch, Marilhat, Meunier. Shannon and Vollon, all well represented. The Modern Americans Lastly, one comes to the really remark- able group of oils by modern Americans, a school in which Mr. Hearn much de- lighted, and whose dispersion, if one is not mistaken, will perhaps prove the feature of the sale. Seldom have so many really su- perior works by the best among our native painters some to the auction block. While Mr. Hearn favored certain painters, his taste was catholic in American art. George Bogert, who was from a youth his protégé, is represented by no less than 32 examples, which well show the range of his good art. The panel of six Blakelocks, among them the “Moonlight and Clouds,” and the “Land- scape at Sunset,” will excite lively compe- tition, as will also the equally fine panel of eight Wyants, all of his best period, the “Wood Gatherers” of George Inness and his two other examples, the two Homer Mar- tins and especially the five splendid Mur- phys. Other Americans well exampled are Bunce, Emil Carlsen (his Academy picture, “The Surf’), Bruce Crane (2), Dainger- field, Dannat, Charles H. Dayis, Dearth, Dessar (3), Dewey, Dewing, August_Fran- zen (5), B, R. Fitz, Gauley, Swain Gifford, Hassam, Hawthorne, George Hitchcock, Alfred C, Howland (7), George Inness, Jr., Jongers, Kost, La Farge, Louis Loeb, Wull H. Low, Thomas Moran, Naegele, Nisbet, Ranger, Rehn, Theodore Robinson (4), Sar- tain, Smedley, Snell, Alice Kent Stoddard, Tryon (3), Horatio Walker, Edwain Lord Weeks (7), Guy and Carleton Wiggins and Irving Wiles. Other Art Properties The art properties of Mr. Hearn, out- side his pictures, are sO numerous, so va- ried and of so many different kinds, that it would require pages to even attempt to describe or detail them. Suffice it to say that it will take an entire afternoon, that of Monday next, to dispose of the jades, lac- quers, enamels and cabinet objects alone; Tuesday afternoon to disperse the old Chi- nese blue and white and decorated porce- lains, and European and Oriental bronzes, while on Wednesday the sale of the antique single color porcelains, will take several hours. Y : The large and remarkable collection of ivory carvings will consume the afternoons nursday and Friday, while Saturday. Spaatee will be devoted to the dispersion of the decorated Oriental and other pores lains, and the furniture, Oriental rugs an embroideries. Even the afternoon ot ti day, Mar. 4, will have to be given to the winding up of this unique sale, with the dispersion of the miniatures, snuff boxes, European ceramics, Greek and Roman glass, Hispano-Moresque plates and miscel- eous objects. pare? be remembered that vast as are the properties to be sold next week, that Mr. Hearn had before his death given sev: eral collections of art objects to the Mere politan Museum, and that Mrs. ee8 be queathed the same Institution the larg: collection of watches left her by her hus baud.

Psychologically the Hearn sale re- sult is the best possible that could have happened to American art interests at! this time, apart from its financial sue- cess. It proves, as we have argued for many years, that good art is not only | an education but one of the best pos- sible investments, and it has directed the attention and thoughts of the art public and of the public at large, which had been scemingly turned away from any idea of art purchasing or study, back again to the subject. An analysis of the prices brought at the sale will emphasize our argument as to the wis- dom of purchasing good art works. When an American picture like George Inness’ “Wood Gatherers,” purchased tor $2,000 in 1891, only 27 years ago, and sold at auction in 1899, only 19 years ago, for $5,600, can appreciate in that short period to $30,800, when a living artist like J. Francis Murphy can sec one of his landscapes sold to Mr. Flearn a few years ago for $300, bring $15,600 and when a Wyant sells for $21,000, a Blakelock for $17,500 (and notva record eprice), etc. .is it notes cause for rejoicing by all lovers of their country when they realize that our na- | tive art has at last “come into its own’? It was only 32 years ago, or in March, 1886, that the sale for $25,000, also by Mr. Kirby, the auctioneer of the Hearn treasures at Chickering Hall of Vibert’s “Missionary’s Story” to the late C. P. Huntington for $25,000, and of Jules Breton’s “Communicants” at the same Mary J. Morgan sale for $33,500 to a Mr. \Watson, made a sensation the world over, and now American pictures pass those figures at auction. The Hearn heirs and the auctioneers are to be congratulated upon the suc- cess, especially at such a time in our history, of this week’s remarkable art sale, but the art lovers of America and the world are the most to be congratu- ‘lated, for the belief in art as an invest-’ nent and ‘an edvication has been, through this event, more than con- firmed and strengthened.

Ever since the sale the dealers’ gal- leries and studios, not only in New York, but throughout the country have been well patronized and the psychological effect of the sale, whick we noted last week, in turning the thoughts and attention of the art. loving and buying public again to the subject of art has been most notice. able. This result has also proven tha: iarge and important art auction sale: are, especially in a dull season, mort beneficial than hurtful to the art trade Now comes the announcement that the Bardini sale of early and Renaissance rt objects postponed from last De- cember, and which might not have been 1eld at all this season, had it not been ‘or the Hearn sale success, will take lace in early April. This will give inother fillip to the then waning sea- son, Which, as it now looks, may end is happily as it opened gloomily. SALE OF AMWKIVAN ART . COLLECTION.2)-/2.19, —_—_—— THE RIVAL “BLUE BOYS.” We.are informed by a telegram from a specia] correspondent in New York that the extensive art collections of the late George A, Hearn will be sold by Mr. Thomas KH. Kirby, of the American Art Gal- leries, New York, next February, Mr. Hearn, who was the owner of a big dry goods store in that city, died four years ago, a biographical notice appearing in The T'imes of December 3, 1913, He left a fortune of over £1,400,000. The death of his widow in April last has given the executors ‘of the estate full control of the art collections, and a public sale has been decided upon. Mr. Hearn was for many years. well known in Kurope, and especially in England, as a keen collector of pictures. He was a Trustee of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, to which he had long been a generous contributor, giving it pictures of the esti- mated value of £100,000 and a sum of £50,000, the interest of which was to be devoted to the purchase of works by living American artists. His private collection filled his house at 46, East 69th Street, and covered many of the walls in his greatstore, There are in all several hundred pictures by ancient and modern artists, and these will be sold b Mr. Kirby in the ball room of tho Plaza Hotel uring five evening sessions, while the ivory carvings (of which Mr. Hearn had w large collection) will, with other objects of art, be sold on five afternoons in the gal- leries of the American Art Association in Madison- square. ‘he pictures include many fine things. Mr. Hearn perhaps cherished most his much-discussed version of Gainsborough’s “ Blue Boy’ (Master Buttall), of which another version belongs to the Duke of Westminster, and is generally accepted as unquestionably the work of Gainsborough himself. The picture in the Hearn collection was exhibited a Messrs. Hogarth’s galleries, Mount-street, Grosvenor- square, in July, 1870; it attracted a great deal of attention. At an interval of some years it was acquired by Mr. W. H. Fuller, who made exhaustive researches into the history of his version, and printed & monograph on the subject, His collection was sold in New York on Februagy, 25, 1898, when the “ Blue Boy” failed to reach the reserve of, we believe, £10,000. There can be no doubt that the picture, which was acquired privately by Mr. Hearn after tho Fuller gale, | will again excite much interest and provoke keen discussion, Besides a large number of pictures, chiefly por- traits, by artists of the Early English school, there are examples of modern English and French artists, and a great number by modern American artists. These were purchased chiefly from the artists them- selves, when their pictures were to be had at a few hundred dollars each.. For some years past American art has found favour with home collectors, and prices have gone up accordingly. NATIVE ART APPRECIATES The sale at the cecoud sess‘on of the Hearn auction at the Plaza, Abeer ning last, of “The Wood Gatherers of George Inness for $30,800, of hg Francis Murphy’s “Landscape” for ; $15,600, _ ot Wyant’s “In the Adirondacks” for $21,500, of Blakelock’s “Landscape” for $17,500, and of a figure work by Theodore Robinson for $5,000, all record prices for the work of these men, save for Blakelock, whose “Moonlight” brought $20,000 a year ago, was not only emphatic proof that the best modern native art has at last “come into its own,” but also that the judgment of the earlier buyers and collectors of the best American pictures was sound. They have never lost their faith in the sure and great appreciation of values in such works and their reward has come, fortunately to some, faetiiverr lhe time. eee oan } What must have been the emotions, for example, of that sincere and deservedly successful collector of modern Americans, Mr. Thomas B.
