YORE TELEPHONE PLAZA 9356 CATALOGUES ON REQUEST SALES CONDUCTED BY MR. FREDERICK A. CHAPMAN NOTE ean THEODORE &. oH. CURTIS was an ardent and steady col- M lector in many directions. He did not devote himself merely to one or two branches of the arts; paintings were included among the objects he sought. The collection to be sold today represents the pictures he picked up from time to time during many years. He gave more time, for instance, to accumulating pieces of ancient glass than to buying pictures. But this helped to educate his eye for color, since the greatest charm of antique glass consists in the extraordinary play of colors produced by the action of the earth and air on the surface of the glass. As time went on and he began to frequent the picture shops, exhibitions and auctions with greater attention, he came more and more to relish and buy the work of SOTO: and particularly American colorists. Among the paintings here described are four color poems by Ralph A. Blakelock, nine works by George Inness, a gem of color by Homer D. Martin and pictures of Wyant, Murphy and others to whom a feeling for color was their natural gift. At the same time Mr. Curtis appreciated pictures of anecdote, like the military pieces of Berne-Bellecour and Beauquesne. He was sensitive to the charm of country life and enjoyed graceful and richly tinted figures and groups of peasants such as those of Boughton and Thom. Landscape and cattle pictures attracted him. He lived at Plainfield, New Jersey, where the country-side was close at hand. Among the pictures are landscapes of James M. Hart and others painted near Plainfield. He realized the abiding pleasure given by large simple views reflecting the calm of pastures and woodlands, all the more because his active life was passed in the turmoil and din of a great city. One detects in his collection a liking for an interest in horses, cattle and sheep. But though he preferred landscape and marine, the townscape also appealed to him when sufficiently picturesque, as we see from the Spanish town view by Roig-y-Soler. It is worthy of note that the nine paintings by George Inness had not been publicly exhibited up to the time of their sale by the executors of the Inness Estate in 1904, when they were purchased by Mr. Curtis.

MEDITATION : Although landscape was his favorite means of expression, the late J. H. Witt, an Indiana painter who made his name in New York, tried his hand at figures. In this picture of a comely lass he has given more attention to the dress she wears and the old chair she "sits on than to her head and arms, which are sketched, not finished; the coloring is excellent and the composition good.
