5. W. Frankel, Publisher 





As the 1931-32 season opens, great opportunities are available to American museums and col- 
But with these opportunities certain responsibilities go hand in hand. The easy patronage of 
more prosperous days must be replaced by constructive support of the many dealers who have made 
New York the greatest art center in the world. Furthermore, if our remarkable cultural growth and 
the great expansion of private collections and museums is to continue, those who bring these master- 
pieces to America must be given active and immediate encouragement. 


short-sighted. 


has become speculative, shows commendable wisdom and foresight. 


Further, it must be remembered that only through the acquisition of important works of art can 
the cultural development of the United States avoid a definite setback. 
traditions of Europe, it is doubly necessary that nothing should imperil the artistic Renaissance which 
has sprung up within recent years. The art dealer, though technically a business man, occupies a unique 
position. ‘lhrough his efforts primarily, the great collections in America have gained world wide fame. 
Through exhibitions held in New York galleries and later circuited, cultural standards all over the 


country have immeasurably improved, 


Such contributions as this to the spiritual life of America richly deserve concerted encouragement 
from the entire art loving public and this encouragement can only be expressed by acquisition. “The 
passive enjoyment of art, through superficial enthusiasms and mere attendance at exhibitions cannot, as 
we all know, foster a true appreciation. It is only the collector, whether he be a poor student buying a 
print from time to time, or the millionaire adding a Rembrandt to his already famous gallery of mas- 
terpieces, who is a vital factor in the cultural life of the country. Only by owning and living with a 


work of art, can we learn its deepest lessons. 


‘The museums of America, unaffected for the most part by present-day conditions, should espe- 
cially avail themselves of the rich opportunities at hand. The old policy of “watchful waiting” as a 
means of building up well rounded collections, is open to much criticism from the point of view of 
modern museum technique. Almost all of the museums in this country have departments which are 
admittedly weak, which need several masterpieces of the first water to make them truly illustrative of 
their period. Now is the psychological moment for careful analysis of these mediocre units and for 
the acquisition of such objects as will, by their fine quality, truly illuminate the style and achieve- 


ments of their epoch. Such works of art, whether they be silver, tapestries, rugs, ceramics, sculpture or 


painting, are all at hand in the galleries of New York dealers. 


In Germany and England, in the present period of economic distress, people are turning more and 
more to the cultural offerings of their particular communities. ‘Vhis same loss of material luxuries is 
bound, during the coming year, to increase the attendance of American museums and to bring in its wake 
a wider appreciation of spiritual values. Will our public galleries both large arid small, keep faith with 


this new public, or blindly ignore the challenge to great achievements?

of watercolors by Americans at the 
Babcock Galleries October 5, to be on 
view for two weeks. Seventy-five 
paintings will be shown in a compre- 
hensive group which includes the more 
modern water colorists as well as 
those whose tendency is toward the 
conservative, not to mention certain 


newcomers to New York. 
Among the well known water color- 
ists represented are Marin, Demuth, 


Hopper, Burchfield, Sheeler, Whorf 
and Ennis. Artists whose names are 
usually associated with painting in oil 
are also to be seen, in which group are 
Luks, Sloan and Frieseke. 

The newcomers include a young man 
of great promise, named Killam, whose 


work has been shown by the Mystic 
Art Association. Among other young 


people with work of real merit is Vi-

Many Purchases 
Made by Boston 
In Recent Months 


BOSTON A large number of inter 


esting acquisitions have been made by 
the Boston Museum during the sum- 
mer. One of the most important ol! 


these is a terra cotta bust by Houdon 
of Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, the 
great French economist under Louis 
XVI. Tothe textile collection has been 


added a very fine Italian XVth century 
velvet which because of its resem 
blances to the work of the goldsmith, 
Finiguerra, and the painter, Pollaiuolo 
is judged to be of Florentine workman 
ship. A dance costume, woven, dyed 
and embroidered in Japan more than 
three hundred years ago was added in 
July to the Boston collection and forms 


an admirable example of the textile 
art of the Flowery Kingdom in the 
XVIith century. The department of 
Oriental art has received a further 


noteworthy addition in the form of an 
important Chinese scroll painting of 
the Sung period, a gift from Dr. Den 
man W. Ross. The subject of the scroll 
is an historical event, the collating of 
the Chinese ordered in the 
year 556 A. D. by the Emperor Wen- 
hsuan of the Northern Ch’i dynasty 
for the use of the heir apparent. Quite 
aside from the subject matter and its 
superb delineation, the painting bears

To the collection of prints have been

zig and Paris in the late spring. The

mous Florentine, is dated about

Fine Diirers acquired in this same} 


purchase include a first state of “The | 


Triumphal Car of the Emperor Maxi- 
milian” in eight parts, a rare dry point 
and two very early proofs of the wood- 
cuts, “The Holy Family with Hares’ 
and “Cain Slaying Abel.” The “Resur- 
rection of Lazarus” by Veit Stoss is 
notable as the only example in Ameri- 
can collections of this XVth century 
artist’s rare work in line. An early 
mezzotint, “The Great Executioner” is 
by the second master of the medium, 
Prince Ruppert. 

From the Rahir saie in 
ton acquired four 
beauty and rarity—the Schatzbehalter 
printed by Anton Koberger (Nurem- 
berg, 1491); Jacques de Voragine’s Das 
Passional, also printed by Koberger; a 


Paris, Bos- 
volumes of great 


little Book of Hours, a UUsage de 
Rome, printed in Paris in 1498 and 
Boceaccio’s De Mulieribus Claris, the 
finest of all the Ulm wood cut books. 


In September, a further notable addi- 
tion was made to the museum’s collec- 











of Amelia Elizabeth, Landgravine 
Hesse-Cassel, by Ludwig von Siegen 
was acquired by the museum. This ex- 
ample is especially important because 
it represents the work of the inventor 
of the mezzotint process, who obvious- 
ly sought to achieve in black and 
white, the texture and realism of Rem- 
brandt’s paintings. 

In the field of early American silver, 
the fine collection of the Boston Mu- 
seum was further enhanced during the 
summer by thirty-four pieces of family 
plate, presented by Mr. and Mrs. Dud- 
ley Leavitt Pickman, descendants of 
the Pickman family of Salem. Fourteen 
of the thirty-four pieces were made by 
John Coney, who belonged to the first 
generation of silversmiths born on 
American soil and the entire collection 
falls within the hundred years follow- 
ing 1673. The aggregation contains a 
variety of objects, some of which have

SEASCAPES AND WATER- 
FRONTS 


Ferargil Galleries 


Last week the College Art Associa 
tion continued the circus idea by add 
ing three rings to the performance 
One of these is the stimulating exhibi- 
tion of seascapes and waterfronts 
which opened at Ferargil’s on Septem- 
ber 28. In addition to many works 
from the United States, these paint 
ings have been gathered from vari- 
ous countries such as England, Spain, 
France and Hungary. Although the 
assemblers of the exhibition made no 
effort to keep it even in tendency, the 
prevailing atmosphere of this widely 
representative show conservative. 
It is indeed an exhibition which re- 
veals the sea resisting modernism. 

Works by Lureat and Lapique are 
perhaps the most modernistic canvases 
on view. The first is interesting be- 
cause of the movement and rhythm 
which fill the canvas, the second be- 
cause it is a pleasing design. But 
both of these are empty when com- 
pared with the fine seascape by Rob- 
ert Henri or the beautiful night scene 
by Albert Ryder. The agelessness of 
the sea, it would seem, daunts our 
more modern artists. Certainly the 
canvases which are most vivid in their 
appeal are by such men as Christopher 
Wood, Sickert, Stanley Woodward, 
Homer, Davies and Henri.

SELF PORTRAITS 
C. A. A. Headquarters 
In the exhibitions of self-portraits 


at the College Art Association head- 
quarters we find the artists frequently 
depicting themselves as they would 
like to be, or as conviction tells them 
they should be. The showing thus 
offers, aside from its purely artistic 
merits, an interesting psychological 
study. We have Bradley Tomlin in- 
terpreted via El Greco, Benatov via 
Goya, and so forth. 

Edward Alden Jewell in his foreword 
to the catalog of the exhibition has 
said, “Results are quite startling, the 
artist telling us, we feel, rather more 
about himself than he ever 
of telling. 
of all. And he 
un- 


in the confession 
is likely to acknowledge, more 
mistakably in this than in less 
sonal work, his affinities. Yonder leans 
Greco; there sits Goya, and soon. Yet 
such confession doesn’t necessarily 
amount to abject reverence. It may 
go much deeper. To tell the truth, 
self-portraiture is so full of strange 


and baffling and revealing depths that | 
the spectator wise in experience walks | 


with wary tread. Cherchez la 
fondeur! 

This exhibition, like the others spon- 
sored by the College Art Association, 
will be sent on circuit tour after its 
New York showing. The list of these 
museums and colleges was printed in

AMERICAN SCENES 
SUBJECTS 


Rehn Galleries 


The exhibition of American Scenes 
and Subjects at the Rehn Galleries 
brings together a very entertaining 
group of pictures. A newcomer to the 


exhibition, Clarence H. Carter, has 
perhaps contributed the outstanding 
painting in the show—‘“Poor Man’s 
Pullman.” More will probably be 


heard of this artist, whose workman- 
ship is unusually deft. Reginald Marsh 
is represented by a lively canvas, “The 
Circus”; James Chapin by one of his 
finest works, “The Three Marvins” 
and Emil Holzhauer by “Cribbage Play- 
ers,” in which his technique and per- 
sonal idiom find particularly 
expression. A new roof top subject 
by George Luks, a beautifully poig- 
nant river scene by Alexander Brook 
and Warren Wheelock’s interesting 


“Mart and Donie” are other high ligiits °

AMERICA AND HER 
NATIVE FOLK ART 


The awakening of a general interest 


in American primitive art, stimulated 


greatly by the splendid exhibition held 


in Newark last winter, is a healthy 
sign. Already, at the very beginning 
of the season, come announcements 


of the founding of the American Folk 
Art Gallery and of a New York exhi

As Mr. Holger Cahill points out ina 
remarkably fine essay in the Septem- 
ber American Mercury, the United 
States has been deluged with peasant 
art from all the countries of Europe, 
but has remained, for the most part, 
quite unacquainted with its own heri- 
tage. We have meekly acknowledged 
artistic debts to England and France, 
forgetting that among the unschooled 
craftsmen of our own land, were many 
of vigorous native talent who uncon- 
sciously, in their hours of leisure or 
in the every day plying of their trade, 
created genuine works of art. 

But this 
important 


movement betokens 
things than an amiable 
pleasure in the quaint masterpieces of 
bygone craftsmen and decorators. It 
is fundamentally part of a new urge 
to make art a more living 
and fruitful thing, part of a newly dis- 
covered pride in the sturdy roots of

Europe, and to the English XVIIIth

OBITUARIES 


MAURICE FROMKES 


Maurice Fromkes, the well-known 
painter, noted in his later years for 
the enamel like surfaces of his can- 
vases, died in Paris on September 16. 
Mr. Fromkes was born in Poland on 
February 19, 1872, but was brought to 


this country by his parents when he 
was eight years old After attending 
the public schools, he began the study 


of art at Cooper Union, followed by 
work at the National Academy of De- 
sign. In 1899 he went to France and 
Holland where he studied the works 
of the old masters, and in 1910 he 
married Miss Eva Maryan Hall of 
New York City, who survives him. 


Mr. Fromkes, who is_ especially 
known for his pictures of Spain and 
his portraits of distinguished Span- 
iards, lived in Spain for four years, 
going there in 1921 and devoting him- 
self to the study of the landscape and 
Iberian types. Exhibitions of his 
Spanish work were held in the Mod- 
ern Art Gallery in Madrid in 1924 and 
in the Milech Gallery in New York in 
1929. 

Among other important canvases are 
his portrait of Cardinal Merry del 
Val, painted in Italy in 1904 and now 
hanging in the Vatican; his portrait 
of Sir Edward Elgar, the English com- 
poser, and the portrait of the French

was self-taught and whose canvases are 
hung in galleries in Europe as well as 
in the United States, was born in 
Chicago on February 14, 1867. He was 
an associate member of the National 
Academy, a member of the Salmagundi

Shore Art associations, and several of 
his oils and water colors have won 


Salmagundi awards.

VOLUME XIII, KLASSIKER

Edited by Gustav Gluck

Price: $10.90

POPP P IPI. 


The second and completely revised 
edition of the Alassiker der Kunst 
volume on Van Dyck, published by F 
Kleinberger of New York and com 
piled and edited by Gustav Gluck, has 
just come off the press. With its 571 


illustrations and detailed discussion of 


individual works, this invaluable cata 
logue raisonné will be eagerly we! 
comed by collectors and museums 


both here and abroad. Because of the 


nanv discoveries made concerning 


Van Dvyek during the past thirty years, 


he present volume will now definitely 
uperse de the earlier 1909 edition, com 
piled by Emil Schaeffer. 


The illustrations have been arranged 
in four following nearly 
us possible the general divisions of the 
main periods of Van Dyck’s life—t 
first Antwerp period, the Italian period, 
second Antwerp period and the 
English period. Within each of these 
divisions, however, a strictly chrono 
logical arrangement has been wisely 
subordinated to grouping based on 
stylistic and compositional affinities 
We thus gain a truer picture of the 
artist’s development than would be 
by arbitrary adherence to 
date. And this is especially true of 
Van Dyck, who not only left his com 
positions for a considerable period and 
returned to them, but also fre 
quently reverted to earlier stylistic 
mannerisms 

Save for a few 
ples, all important 
ognized compositions 
included among the 571 plates. 
However, in the of the portrait 
and study heads, and the sketches, 
editor has wisely limited the reproduc 
tions to several distinguished exam- 
ples. Likewise, the many  grisaille 
studies for large compositions have 
been entirely excluded, both because 
of their large number and because a 
large percentage of them are of dubi- 
ous authenticity.

BERLIN LETTER 


by Flora Turkel-Deri 





One can 


searcely introduce’ the 


coming art season with the hopeful 


auguries of more prosperous years 


The art business and art activities 


in general are so dependent on gen 


eral welfare that the world-wide eco- 


nomic crisis induces a rather strong 


spirit of pessimism. Such an attitude, 


however, cannot remedy the situation 


and therefore courage and redoubled 


activity are more in order than sin- 


ister predictions

part in the life of 


nations that it

All this activity 
form a strong bul- 
wark against adverse circumstances. 

Owing to present unstable condi- 
tions, not all the auction firms have 
settled their fall and winter calendars 
as early as usual. Sales are, however, 
planned by all the leading concerns, 
although in the majority of cases the 
dates are not yet fixed nor is material 
available for inspection. In my next 
letter I shall be able to give a full ac- 
count of the most important sales that 
are set for the months of November 
and December. 


With but few exceptions the picture

However, there is a show at 
the Kiinstlerhaus devoted to ‘“Like- 
nesses of Women of Today’’—a rather 
interesting topic when one considers 
that the style of an epoch is distinctly 
reflected in its feminine types. This 
conscious, self asertive age has pro- 
duced a new type of beauty utterly un- 
like the ideal of sweetness and frailty 
cherished in times gone by. It is a 
pity that this new type is not featured 
in this assemblage, for we should like 
to see it well interpreted. 

Pictorially, the canvases by 
mann and Slevogt are in the 
degree effective, displaying 
without garishness and a texture rich 
in values. August Dressler has sent 
in an attractive picture of a lady in 
black, a rendition that imbued 


doors.

with an inner meaning. Leo von Ko- 
nig, with his dashing brush strokes, 


gives us the impressive depiction of a 
thoughtful, earnest face. A most sen- 
sitive rendition is the likeness of the 
actress, Elizabeth 
Paris painter, Kanelba. This canvas 
is thrillingly alive with the magic of 
a bewitching personality, and at the 
same time it is a compelling illustra-

Dr. James Simon, the 
German art maecenas, celebrated his 
eightieth birthday on September 17. 
He was among the first art collectors 
in Berlin who enjoyed the help and 
advice of Dr. von Bode, and in deep 
thankfulness to his mentor he donated 
a great part or his riches to the Kaiser 
Friedrich Museum. A whole room is 
devoted to the splendid collection of 
Italian XVth and XVIth century ob- 
jects which he gave to this institution 
on the occasion of its opening in 1904. 
The newly installed Deutsches Museum 
also boasts a comprehensive array of 
sculptures which are Dr. Simon’s gifts. 
The German art world is thus greatly 
indebted to this outstanding collector's 
munificence and generosity.

The Austrian scholar, Professor Wil-

his discovery of two hitherto uniden-

canvases is in the Pinacotheca in Bo-

Dr. Johannes Wilde, curator of art 
in the Viennese State collection, has 
found out that a hitherto unidentified 
picture in this gallery is from the 
brush of Giorgione. A beautiful woman 
in a fur coat is depicted on this can 
vas which, despite mutilations and 
careless restorations, has preserved 
much of its original charm. The love- 
ly phosphorescence of the eyes gives 
the rendition that mellow’ beauty 
which made Venetian pictures of fair 
women so famous. Dr. Wilde assumes 
that the canvas in question is one 
of the first examples of this type.

In a lecture recently delivered at 
the Paris Academy, Salomon Reinach, 
the French scholar, announced that he 
has been able to ascertain the place 
of origin of one of the most famous 
works of early Netherlandish art: the 


altar wings in the museum in Frank- 
fort a. M. The panels do not come 
from Flemalle nor from Sedan, but 


adorned the tomb of Phillip, Count 
of Rethel, in the church of Notre 
Dame d’Elan in the Ardennes forest. 


According to Professor Reinach’s in- 
vestigations, it is likely that the 
count’s widow ordered the painting 
in Bruges from the atelier of the 
brothers van Eyck. Old inventories 
mention a painter called Roger as the 
author cf the panels and Professor 
Reinach believes that this person was 
Roger of Bruges, a 


pupil of the van 
Eycks.

It is worth while mentioning that 
the director of the Staatsbibliothek in 
Berlin has been lucky in retrieving a 
book in wihch Barbier, Napoleon’s eru- 
dite librarian, put down notes concern- 
ing the Emperor’s plans for a very 
comprehensive travel library in duo- 
decimo-size which was to number 3000 
volumes containing the works of his 
favorite authors. Didot, the master 
printer, had already received the or- 
der to compile a catalog for this spe- 
cial collection, but the plan was not 
carried out, probably because the costs, 
calculated at six million francs, were 
too high. 


The director of the library in Salz- 
burg, Dr. Frisch, has <iscovered, three 
portfolios containing 800 drawings and 
400 prints by old masters. This find 


comes aS a surprise to the art world 
for no documentary evidence has 
come down to us dealing with this 
valuable collection. Possibly it was 
assembled by Archbishop Wolf Die- 
trich who resided in Salzburg  be- 
tween 1587-1612 and who is known 


to have made journeys to Italy where 
he became acquainted with the fa- 
mous artists cf the time.

there were few prominent personages 
of that day in England whose portraits 
were not painted by Herkomer. He re- 
ceived honors from many countries, 
was appointed professor at Oxford and 
established an art school, and was 
finally knighted. 

But Herkomer never forgot his na- 
tive land of Bavaria. He came back re- 
peatedly, made many donations to the 
city of Landsberg, and had a tower 
erected on the banks of the Lech in 
memory of his mother. He also built 
there a house, and his widow, Lady

INDIAN ARTS TO 
BE SHOWN HERE 


An important exposition of Indian 












tribal arts will open at the Grand 
Central Galleries in December, after 
which it will go on tour to leading 
museums and galleries throughout the 
country. Scientists have joined with 
artists, writers and patrons of the arts 
in helping to make the exposition rep 
resentative of the finest ancient and 
modern American Indian art The 
gathering of material is in the hands 
of Mr. John Sloan, the well-known art 
ist, who for the past fourteen years 
has been endeavoring to arouse suffi 
cient interest in the art of the Indian 
to make an exhibition of such work 
possible. Mr. Sloan, recently stated 
that the support given thus far indi 
cates that the exposition will be an im- 
portant art event not only in New 
York City but throughout the United 
States. He hopes that through the in 
fluence of this showing modern Indian 
art may be taken out of the class of “LITTLE VENICE” 
archaeological specimens in our mu- 




































the public at large as mere curios or

LONDON 


When the famous Canning jewel, 
belonging to Lord Harewood, was 
sold at Sotheby’s last July to an 
anonymous American buyer for £10, 
000, the probable loss to England of an- 
other historical gem of craftsmanship 
was generally deplored. At the time, it 
was rumored that the pendant would 
surely be bestowed upon a _ leading 
American museum. Now there is 
great joy in England over the news 
that it is destined for our own Vic- 
toria and Albert Museum. In fact, it 
already graces an appropriate room in 
this institution. 

This Renaissance jewel, credited to 
Cellini, is, of course, a magnificent ex 
ample of the goldsmith’s art, but for 
me personally it lacks the charm of 
some of the less magnificent pieces in 
our collection. The merman is a mus- 
cular figure, to my taste rather too ro- 
bust for the purpose of the jewel. 
With his body of baroque pearls and 
his great arms, clasped with jewelled 
bands, he is a powerful fellow, but for 
sheer grace and beauty commend me 
to something rather less square-set and 
arresting. 

* ” * 

The galleries are busy making their 
arrangements for autumn shows. The 
Leicester Galleries, as usual, have an 
interesting program mapped out. Al- 
gernon Newton comes in October with 
studies of London, many of them por- 
traying still extant examples of our 
Regency architecture. November will 
bring Henry Lamb’s work to the gal- 
leries, among it landscape studies done 
abroad and some fine figure groups. 
At Tooth’s we shall have a show of 
Frank Dobson’s sculpture and an ex- 
hibition of book illustrations by Me- 
Knight Kauffer, whose poster designs 
have already given him a leading 
place among designers for hoardings. 
The moderns, generally, are going to 
be represented very liberally at a Re- 
gent Street gallery and there will be 
many attractive offerings to tempt the 
parsimonious to more generous and 
sensible ways. 

* * ~ 

I hear that the committee of, the 
Exhibition of French Art which is to 
open at Burlington House in January, 
intends giving great prominence to the 
modernists. Indeed, it is rather a sur- 
prise to hear that the great central 
room, usually devoted to old masters 
of world wide reputation, is on this oc- 
casion to be hung with the expression- 
ists. As a rule, we find the moderns 
tucked away in an end room and their 
study somewhat neglected because the 
visitor is usually exhausted before 
reaching them. If it had not been for 
the many fine shows of modern French 
painting staged recently by various 
dealers, such a departure would never 
have come within the realm of prac- 
tical polities. 

* * * 

One of the effects of present eco- 
nomic conditions seems likely to be a 
Closer welding of art with industry 
and greater cooperation between artist 


by Louise Gordon-Stables 





LETTER : 





and manufacturer. The painter whose 
studio is stacked with pictures begins 
to wonder whether there would not be 
a greater market for his ideas in 
household articles, while the sculptor 
in need of commissions begins to con- 
sider the application of his craftsman- 
ship to pottery for the home, rather 
than to marble and metal. If this ten- 
dency really established itself, we may 
yet have cause to praise the silver 
lining to the clouds of depression, For 
such a movement as this would result 
in a great artistic improvement in 
commercial products. 
* + * 

Eric Kennington is rapidly becom- 
ing known as one of the sculptors who 
is giving England memorials that are 
really beautifying to the towns on 
which they are bestowed. His latest 
addition to cur national collection of 
monuments is one of Thomas Hardy, 
‘onferred upon Dorchester. The work 
is a life-size bronze. I have not jour- 
neyed into the Hardy country to see 
it, but the reproductions reveal it as a 
fine, expressive piece of work, true to 
its model, yet by no means a mere 
likeness. 

It is a sign of the times that sym- 
bolical figures of such qualities as 
Truth, Justice, Charity ane the like are 
on the wane in our publie places. 
And when a sculptor does have to 
carry out a commission for a figure 
of this type, he brings all his force to 
bear upon avoiding the stereotyped 
symbols in Grecian drapery with which 
London is all too well supplied. C. S. 
Jagger, for example, when called upon 
to carve a figure of Justice for the 
keystone of the archway of Thomas 
House, happily escaped from the tra- 
ditional conventions. Instead of the 
usual young woman in a peplum, with 
a fillet binding her ringleted hair and 
her hands clasping a pair of scales, 
he has given us something more 
thought provoking. This is the figure 
of an elderly man of great dignity, in 
which the treatment of the sword and 
the inevitable scales has been made 
extraordinarily decorative. 


Famous Frescoes in 
Vienne Church 
Endangered 


POITIERS.—The frescoes of the 
church at  Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe 
(Vienne), which are said to be the larg- 
est and most remarkable of any Ro- 
manesque church in France, are fad- 
ing and disappearing, reports the New 
York Herald of Paris. The pictures 
represent Biblical scenes, the Passion, 
Apocalyptic visions and the martrydom 
of Saint Savin and Saint Cyprien, who 
evangelized the part. During the Hun- 
dred Years’ War the frescces suffered, 
also during the occupation of the 
church, from 1611 to 1635, by a band 
of brigands. In 1854 they were saved 
by Prosper de Mérimee, whose atten- 
tion was called to their condition.

Berlin was sold at auction. Paintings | 
by old and modern masters, modern | 
plastic art, ete., were included in the

sentative audience of museum's di-| 
rectors, collectors and dealers was in 
attendance. The sums paid for im- 
portant works by the old masters were 
high, but the modern French and Ger- | 
man masters were less in demand. The | 
fine examples of plastic art, especially 
the works by Maillol and Barlach,

HOTEL TO HAVE 
PORTRAIT GALLERY 


In order to commemorate the visit 
of many men and women of interna- 
national prominence to the Hotel St. 
Moritz on-the Park in New York City, 
S. Gregory Taylor, president of the 
hotel organization, has commissioned 
several noted portrait artists here and 
abroad to execute portraits of these 
celebrities His idea is to make a 
permanent exhibition of these paint- 
ings in the salon just off the main 
lobby of the hotel 

The first two portraits to be com 
pleted are those of Oscar Straus, the 
Viennese composer, and of Maurice 
Chevalier, who posed just before he 
sailed for France. Both are by the 
Viennese painter, Dario Rapaport. 

Other portraits scheduled of guests 
at the hotel during its first year in- 
clude Prof. Albert Einstein, the Baron- 
ess Helen Nostitz von Hindenburg, 
niece of the President of Germany; 
Gilbert K. Chesterton, John Galswor- 
thy and J. B. Priestley, Boris Pilnyak, 
the Soviet author; Carl Nater, mayor 
of the City of St. Moritz, Switzerland, 
who opened the hotel last year; Dr. 
Paul Schwarz, German consul in New 
York; the Prince Albert de Ligne, 
former Belgian Ambassador to the 
United States; Mr. and Mrs. Martin 
Johnson, African explorers, and Tito 
Schipa. 

Others from whom Mr. Taylor hopes 
to obtain permission to have a portrait 
made are the King and Queen of Siam 
and the father and the mother of the 
Queen, Prince and Princess Svasti. 
Japan will be represented by Yusuke 
Tsurumi, playwright and political fig- 
ure 

The section of stage, screen and ra- 
dio notables will include Mary Wig- 
man, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Joan 
Crawford and many others. And 
among the explorers and adventurers 
will be found Dr. Eckener of the Graf 
Zeppelin, Commander Sloan Dannen- 
hower of the Nautilus and Jean Jules 
Verne, grandson of the famous author. 

It is expected that it will take over 
a year to assemble the collection, as 
many of the portraits must be made 
abroad and each must be autographed. 


Rare Prints Gift 
To New School of 


Social Research 


A rare collection of prints of more 
than two thousand masterpieces from 
the most select private and public gal- 
leries of Europe, assembled by a com- 
petent Vienna art collector, in a search 
of a quarter of a century, is now the 
property of the New School for Social 
Research, 66 West Twelfth Street, New 
York, where several hundred are now 
being exhibited. 

The collection ranges from the year 
1500 through the XVIIIth century, with 
examples by Italian, German, French 
and Dutch artists. Many important 
private collections, such as the Alber- 
tina in Vienna, and others in Munich, 
Bremen, Berlin and Paris, are repre- 
sented. In this notable ensemble are 
prints by Fragonard, Brueghel, Ostade, 
Weyling, Watteau, Chardin, Cranach, 
Liotard, Saint-Aubin, Altdorfer, Fra 
Angelico, Tintoretto, Titian, Pisanello, 
Raphael, Giorgione and Bellini. 

Dr. Alvin Johnson, Director of the 
New School, in announcing the acqui- 
sition of these rare prints, explained 
their presence in America as due to

IMPERIAL GALLEYS 
NOW UNEARTHED 


The second of the Imperial galleys 
Nemi, attributed 
to Caligula and Tiberius, has just 


of Lake variously 
been freed from the mud and water 
Months 
powerful electric ma- 
chinery lowered the lake until the sec 


which held it for 2,000 yearg. 


of pumping by 


ond of the famous floating palaces was 
cleared. The trunk of a marble col- 
umn was found on the galley, and 
another lies buried in the mud near by. | 
The vessel appears to be in good con- 
dition, but experts will apply to it a 
coating for protection from sun and 
wind. 

The second ship which is slightly 
larger than the first is 242 feet long by | 
78 feet beam. It is bigger than the 
Victory, Nelson's flagship at the Bat 
tle of Trafalgar. It has the appear 
ance of a barge, for the maximum 
height from keel to deck is only slightly 
more than seven feet. It rode very | 
low in the water, as the height of the 
deck above the surface of the water | 
is estimated to have been only about | 
one foot. It was therefore suitable | 
only for use on the lake, which, be- 
cause of its small size, never is sub- | 
ject to storms or rough water. 

The second vessel differs from the | 
first in one important particular. Pro 
jecting beyond the sides of the ship | 
are a number of horizontal beams, flush 
with the deck, supporting a _ ledge | 
which with the deck formed a large | 
rectangular platform in the centre of | 
the craft. It must have presented | 
the appearance of a rectangular raft 
floating on the lake. The platform 
measured 98 by 160 feet. From it a 


| high superstructure is believed to have | 


risen. 


The second ship, like the first, is 


divided tranversally by a large num.- | 
ber of bulkheads into watertight com- | 


partments. These served the double 
purpose of making it virtually unsink- 
able and supporting the deck, which 
rested on the upper part of the bulk- 
heads,

MOSAIC FLOORS

by news of some new discovery, writes 


D., is broken every few months 


Arnoldo Cortesi in The Vew York 
Times. 

All efforts are now concentrated on 
bringing to light the public baths of 
Herculaneum which were partly un 
earthed before the war. The excava 
tions were interrupted when a little 


more than begun because it was found 


the baths extended under buildings of 


the modern town of Resina. Now the 
buildings are being razed as the exca 
vations advance 

The latest discovery here consiats 
of two intact mosaic floors which are 


far superior to anything found in Pom 
peli, both in beauty of design and per 


fection of workmanship, and are be 
lieved to have served as dressing 
rooms. 


The most beautiful mosaic is entire 
in black white the 
centre is a magnificent large figure of 


ly on a base. In

der. From the downward the 
figure ends in the tail of a dolphin or 
mermaid. Around the Her

cules are a number smaller

phins and octopuses 

The other much

closing a number of geometrica! de- 
signs. 

Recent excavations have _ further 


brought to light the northeastern cor- 


ner of the peristyle of the public baths. | 


The entrance hall of the 
has been unearthed, along with an ad- 
joining large room which believed 
to have been a waiting room. The 
latter is spacious but bare and un- 
adorned, lacking in frescoes. 
decoration is a modeled cornice run- 
ning along the upper part of the walls 
some distance from the ceiling. 


is 


From this room runs a long, bare, 
wide corridor, lighted by small win- 
dows and leading to the dressing 


rooms, of which only the two contain- 


ing the mosaic floors have been un- 
earthed. 
Whereas Pompeii burned to the 


ground before being engulfed by lava, 
Herculaneum was buried by a stream 
of mud which preserved wooden ob- 
jects, including many articles of fur- 


niture which give a better glimpse 
into the mode of life in Roman times 
than could be obtained in any other 
way. 


A large number of pieces of furni- 
ture, household implements and other 
wooden objects, often startlingly simi- 
lar to their modern counterparts, are 
on view in the small museum in Her- 
culaneum.

Rare Fragment of Early 
Indian Rug Gift to Detroit 


By Dt 

Through the generosity of Mr. and 
Mrs. Edsel B. Ford, the Near Eastern 
department of the Detroit Institute of 
Arts has come into the possession of 
a fragment of a remarkable Indian 
XVith century carpet, of a type known 
in only two other specimens. One of 


these, 1s 


which considerably smaller 
than the Detroit example and consists 


of two parts put together is in the 
Louvre and came from the Jumiette 
collection. The second, as yet unpub 
lished, has been acquired by the Bos 
ton Museum of Fine Arts 

The Detroit fragment, which meas 
ures six feet by six feet four inches 
and is well preserved, was shown in 
the great exhibition of Mohammedan 


art in Munich in 1910. Since that time 


it has been widely published and re 
produced. It came to Detroit from the 
Octave Homberg collection in Paris 


and before that belonged to Dr 
of Frankfort am Main. 

This newly acquired example of 
Eastern carpet weaving not only 
extremely rare but it also affords an 
interesting illustration of how native 
Hindu decorative motifs were taken 
over by the conquering Mohammedans 
in their art of carpet making 

Here, on the wine-red ground, char 
acteristic of Indian carpets, are strewn 
in decorative arrangement the heads 
of mythical animals and birds in vari- 
ous colors—dark blue, light blue, yel- 
low, white, red or green. At the top on 
either side, out of the head of a mon- 
ster, of which but half here pre- 
served, grows a lion’s head. From the 
mouth of the one there springs an 
ibex, from that of the other a parrot. 

A second grouping is composed of 
animal heads with long necks, also 
vis-a-vis, encircled symmetrically by 
springing leopards and ox heads swal- 


Roden 


Is

baths also | lowing geese. To judge from the speci- 


men in the Boston Museum, these two 


cleverly composed groups were re- 
peated mirror-like to form a circular 
medallion. 


As for the remainder of the field, it 
is filled with small not always sym- 
some 
resembling the elephant’s, the camel's 
and the rhinoceros’ and all devouring 
foxes, rabbits and birds. Here and 
there between these groups are depict 
ed vases of flowers, flower stalks and 
separate leaves. 

There has been an attempt to group 
the decoration to be found in this car-

human and animal heads 
from it, which was used uni 
versally in the Islamic art of the Mid 
dle Ages and which is to be found in 
the Indian fragment in the Musée des 
Arts Décoratifs in Paris 

The fact is, the decorative treatment 


f the Detroit specimen, together with 
that of the two others of its type, i 
unique and its position is difficult to 
issign in the development of Indian 
carpets as yet known 

Neither can the original size of the 
Detroit carpet nor the sort of border 
framing it be determined until other 


pieces belonging to it be discovered 


The art of carpet knotting was in 
troduced into India after the founding 
of the Mughal Empire in the XVth 
century and was carried on exclu 
sively in larger or smaller factories, 
never becoming a folk art as in Tur 
kestan, Persia and Turkey. It was the 
Emperor Akbar (1556-1605), who in 


the second half of the XVIth century 
in the city of Lahore established the 
first carpet factory, which employed 
hundreds of craftsmen from Turkes 
tan and Persia and which predomi- 
nantly influenced the later stylistic 


development of Indian carpets. With- 
out doubt, this factory was closely af 
filiated with the court school of minia- 
ture painters, to which in addition to 
foreign artists belonged a large num- 
ber of Hindu painters, who preserved 
not only the ancient Indian traditions 
in painting but introduced native dec- 


orative elements into carpet making, 
as well as the other minor arts. It is 
supposed that the miniaturists made 
the cartoons for the carpets. Only 
in this way, for example, can be ex- 
plained the origin of the landscape 
carpet, with its Persian provenance. 

As regards the Detroit specimen, 
one of the most popular motives of 
Indian Mughal painting of the XVIth 


and the following centuries is the rep- 
resentation of magic animals, whose 
bodies are made up of innumerable 
men and animals and, particularly, of 
parts of the bodies of animals. In a 
miniature in the Kaiser Friederich 
Museum representing a camel, one 
can how the legs are formed out 
of different animal heads biting each 
other in our fragment, with the 
difference that they are strewn over 
carpet without connection, while 
the miniature they form part of
