Almost every one carries a ga: colored parasol, d these, in AR _‘.l.(mn, give the appearance of an old-fash- joned, br d bouquet.

The charm that he himself finds in this ‘painter's works he here sets forth convincingly as follows: “His (Prendergast’s) paint- ings are the perfect expression of the man and of the blithe and jocund philosophy which kept him young at heart as his art grew older in experi- ence and more magical in power. To convey a sel of the joy which came to him as he watched substantial lit- tle people and animals of many shapes and colors playing and idling under the trees in the silvery springtime, with a laughing breeze rippling the surface of a small bay and a ship or two spreading white sails and a white house or two on a neighboring shore— after all, what more in the way of a subject did he need, this poet? “The end which he had in ¥lew. -as examples It retain for many not a | never been mezzotinted before—a very elaborate theme beautifully ren- dered both in color and in mono- chrome.

These proofs are now held at $100 each, a price which would have made the old mezzotinters open their eyes very wide. Mr. Reynolds’ reproductions of paintings by the masters are all good, and it is a pity that he does not hold to this type of work rather than spend his talent, as he seems often to have done, in mezzotinting por- traits from photographs and from un- worthy originals. Such practice is bound to bring down the estimate of the artistic worth of his work, When mezzotinting had its greatest vogue at the time of Sir Joshua Reynolds and his cotemporaries there were no color*processes of reproduction, such as we have today, and the mezzo- tinter therefore had a field exclusively his own spicés of the Washington Society of the Fine.
