T wopd be impossible to commend tgo highly the exhidbition of art ‘vbjects brought to this city by Parish, Watson & Co./of New York, now on view in the Vandyck saileries, 1611 Connecticut - avenue The collection, which is said to ap- proximate two million dollars in value, is made up of the rarest ox- samples of Chinese porcelain anc bronzes, Perslan potteries, French furniture and tapestries and oriental rugs. Each piece is what max well be termed a museum exhibit. For ex- ample, there is the great Rhages vase, the most important specimen of Por- an relief pottery in existence. which ands twenty-six inohes in helght. fifteen inches in diameter, and was discovered more than forty feet below the surface of the ground In seventy pieces, but has been so skillfully put together that it appears without “law. Seventy-three of the pinces were found at one time; the seventy- urth pheoe was discovered four ears later, These fragments were ipped to Peris, where the vase was ! restored; then the discovery was ! made thgt a small portion of the body was missing, and further excavation on ide site finally revealed the twol otaer fragments. It is of & cherac-; £fristie ovoldal shape with truncated | Nase and tubular neck tapering to- ward the mouth, and has an all-over decoration in high relief. - Unlike moset vases of the period, this particular specimen seems to have been hand-shaped. not turned on the wheel, and shews hand-mod- | cled decoration in the way of friezes f himan figures—in one frieze a | procession of men on horseback, sup- | poscd by some to represent polo layers.

C, MARCH 16, 192¢—PART 2 LA has been shown here before. These Tepresent what might be termed the latest output of modernism. Cer- tainly they are different from any- thing that has gono befors, and in this sense essentially original. Pri- marily, they are conventionalized landscapes, vompositions reduced to their lowest terms and set forth with :xtreme simplicity, in accordance with the best of the poster methods. Thair sriginality lies chiefly, therefore, fn their coloring, which inakes no pre- tense of being naturalistic, but rather follows scientific rule. The colors employed have in every case a base of white, as in tempera or gouache, and are, therefore, opaque. They are laid on, furthermore, with absolute fiatness, without graduation of tone. Red-violet and violet-blues, cold vel- lows and gray-pinks predominate, and the result is dissonanoe rather than accord. The purpose is not to interpret nature bul to produce deco- rative design, which may be enjoyed for itself alone or applied at pleas- ure. Color is lfke sound, and the color scale is similar to the scale in music. These works represent an essentially new development, one to which we may become accustomed, nut which, | until more famiiiar, to the average in- dividual is more shocking than agree- able. “And after afl, why shoull we accustom ourselves to that which-is not pleasing, why should we cultivate 2 taste for what is unpleasant, ui lovely?
