in the foreground stand forth with peculiar majesty. The figures of
a few wood-cutters blend almost imperceptibly with the forest. In-
ness, with his deep feeling for nature in all her moods, has com-
municated here the somber mystery of forests and the feeling of
vast spaces. A beautiful and powerful picture. (Mrs. John F.
arroll collection. )

JAMES MeNEILL | piileboen Set
1834—1903 a
By C. Lewis HIND
Whistler has been dead but seventeen years, and already he ranks
with the Old Masters. In appreciation, and in price, he has risen to a
height that no other modern artist has attained. The approaching open-
ing of the Freer Collection of Whistlers at Washington will add, if it
were possible, to his fame. So rare are his works now, so hard to ob-
tain, that the sale of two Whistlers at auction is an event: The two sea--
scapes here presented are of exquisite quality. They bear the closest
examination. To look closely at them is a delight. Their subtleties stand
out. How was it done? No one with any connoisseurship can fail to be
impressed by the magical character of these renderings of the mystery
and loveliness of the sea. These two seascapes belong to the famous
Pourville series, of which Mr. Pennell writes thus in his “Life of
Whistler” :
“When he did not care to work from the shore, there were boatmen
who would take him out beyond the breakers, where he could get the
effect he wished at the height above the water that suited him. He used
to be seen calmly painting away in a dancing row-boat, the boatman
holding it as steadily as he could. There is as much of the bigness of
the ocean in these little paintings, which show usually only the gray or
blue or green, but ever recurring swell of the wave, or a quiet sea with
two or three sails on the horizon, as in any big marines that ever were
painted. He explained his method to his apprentice, Mrs. Addams.
When the wave broke and the surf made a beautiful line of white, he
painted. He explained his method to his apprentice, Mrs. Addams:
_wave, then the boat passing, and then, having got the movement and
the beauty that goes almost as soon as it comes, he put in the shore or
the horizon.”

PORTRAIT OF LORD TENNYSON
This interesting and beautiful portrait was one of the prize posses-
sions of the late W. M. Chase, N.A. The face is seen in profile to the
right, with figure slightly inclined forward. The canvas is not signed,
but it is very likely that it was painted by Sir William B. Richmond,
R.A., and presented by him to Mr. Chase. This is the opinion of a
eading English art director. Many of the English painters presented
fvases to Chase. Tennyson was also painted many times by G. F.
atts, R.A. Whoever painted this canvas, it is a superb portrait of
Tennyson. Perhaps it was painted by Chase himself?

JOHN SINGER SARGENT, R.A.
By C, Lewis H1inp
John Singer Sargent, Royal Academy, D,C.L. Oxford, LLD. Cami
bridge, with other honors too numerous to mention, is the most dis-
tinguished of living artists. As portrait painter, subject painter, land-
scape painter, water color painter, he is unrivaled. A few years ago,
tired of being tied to his easel, tired at being at the beck and call of
sitters, tired, maybe, of success, he announced that he would paint no
more portraits except under very special circumstances. He determined
to be free, to roam where he would, to paint what he liked, In this
period of holiday time, the only real time for a painter, he has produced
landscapes in oil and water color of extraordinary interest and beauty.
His water colors have been received with especial delight. Nothing like
them has been done before; no other artist, not even Winslow Homer,
has been able to render so vividly and spontaneously effects of light and
movement. It is impossible to analyze the method of his water color
painting, to say how they are done, how light transparency and the
arrested movement, arrested, yet going on, are flashed upon canvas, ‘The
great museums of the world have eagerly sought Sargent’s water colors.
England, Scotland, New York, Boston, Brooklyn, all have their groups.
The reason why so few private persons possess Sargent water colors is
because the artist prefers to sell them in groups to museums, not sepa-
rately. The few that come into the market are usually presentation
copies from the artist to friends. Such are the three remarkable exam-
ples of his Venetian scenes now presented.

A COLLECTION OF THIRTY-THREE OIL SKETCHES
ON CANVAS, AND THREE STUDIES IN RED
me. WHITE CHALK AND’ CHARCOAL, BY
AUGUSTE RENOIR.
AUGUSTE RENOIR
| 1841—1919
By C. Lewis HINp
Last July, Mr. Clive Bell, the first of English art critics, began an arti-
cle on Renoir thus: “Renoir is the greatest painter alive.” This supreme
artist died in the early days of last December, crippled with rheumatism,
but painting magnificently to the end. A few days after his decease, The
London Athenaeum, in a first editorial, said: “Auguste Renoir was at
the time of his death the greatest of all living painters.”
French and American critics support these testimonies. So universal
is the admiration of Renoir that his paintings have reached an almost
fabulous price. And they are rising. In 1907, the Metropolitan Museum
of New York paid 92,900 francs (at that time nearly $20,000) for his
“Mme. Charpentier and Her Children.” His “Moulin de la Galette” is
one of the glories of the Luxembourg Gallery, and when in 1917 his “Les
Parapluies” was presented by Sir Hugh Lane to the National Gallery,
London, it made such a sensation and was so much appreciated that a
hundred artists and connoisseurs sent to Renoir a testimony of their
admiration, to which the artist replied in affecting language.
So the sale by auction of thirty-six pictures by Renoir, each signed,
may be justly termed an event in salesroom annals. Three of them, in
red and white chalk and charcoal, are large in size and important as
they are beautiful; thirty-three are the intimate thoughts and summary
expressions of this master. They are the first quick studies, done in
moments of inspiration and exaltation, from which he painted his pic-
tures. They were purchased nine years ago in Paris by a New York
collector, who obtained them from a lady, an intimate friend of the
artist’s. Renoir gave them to her.

is comparable to the best work of the eighteenth century. It is a

Toe ND SCAPI WITH,» FARMHOUSE
A broad vista stretching away illimitably, dominated by a tem-
pestuous sky. At the right, beside a roadway leading to the edge
of the bluff, stands a group of farm buildings surrounded by trees.
In the foreground are seen two men hewing logs, and where the
road forks is a peasant woman laden with fagots. Far away, on
the left, the landscape undulates to the horizon and, over all, the
drifting clouds gather in a tumultuous mass, from which a passing
shower of rain descends. A-warm glow permeates the entire pic-
ture; the breadth and simplicity being equaled by the exquisite
sense of harmony and tone.
Rivaling the greatest colorists in his disposition of light and
shadow, Georges Michel’s pictures convey a poetic sense by their
audacious harmonies and extraordinary amplitude, their profound
depth and feeling for aerial perspective and contrasting effects,
direct and rapid. These are not the efforts of an artist enfeebled
by petty ideals; his processes are the simplest; his palette the
most elementary. Painting on sheets of paper stretched on linen,
his treatment was vigorous and swift. With a horizon decisively
delineated and two summary values for the sky and the earth, he
produces results astounding in their effectiveness; his creations
flowing easily from his brush with an execution often monochro-
matic, but conveying a distinct sentiment of values and harmonies.

POs DESPAIR:
A wonderful expression of despair. The artist represents a
man of powerful muscularity lying in a posture of hopeless suffer-
ing, the head bowed, one arm drawn up and the hand clutching the
back of the ‘head. The other hand is clenched at the side. The
fe L 4 legs are drawn up, one over the other, as if the suffering were too
i fp / intense to be borne. The contrast of the powerful muscles of the
J arms, back and legs, which stand out even in the crushed and
hopeless attitude of the body, is a striking one. This work belongs
P pie the very best period of Rodin. It must have been made in the
4) i 444 ate 80’s or in 1890, the date of the “Danaide” in the Luxembourg
fw’ ' (,4Museum to which it shows a close resemblance in style.

162. EVE
Eve is represented standing, hiding her head in her left arm.
Her gesture, beautifully expressed by the artist, shows at the same
! time the fear of punishment for her sin and the first feeling of
maternity in her shivering body. Eve was a favorite subject of
/ - _— Rodin. In 1881 he executed the model for the famous bronze
2 Vo0° statue (which was not cast in bronze until 1889) for E. Pellerin,
of which another copy is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A
large Eve in marble is also at the Metropolitan Museum. In 1889
lv , f ee made a small marble of the same subject, which belonged to
i @ Vacquerie collection in Paris. Another Eve was Number 186
Ox in the sale of the collection of Henri Vever, in Paris. The present
statue appears to have been made between 1900 and 1915.
