ART NOTES FRENCH ART GROUP Clark Collection Offers Examples ffir Study of American Gains From Abroad. Loans to Paris. By Leila Mechlin. S A feature of the great exposi- tion in Paris this Summer the French Government has in- stalled a notable retrospective exhibition of French art to which no less than 30 loans have been made by American art museums, private collec- tors and dealers. These, plus the 35 canvases drawn from similar sources for the Frans Hals Exhibition in Haar- iem, Holland, show how great has been the trend of masterpieces from Eu- rope to America in recent vears, a well as the present wealth of Ameri- can collections. Their loan, furthe more, gives indication of international good will through the medium of art, but European countries have been so | generous to us in this particular in the past that we could hardly refuse request for similar courtesy In this connection attention may will be called to the French art the W. A. Clark collection, now property of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and continuously therein on ex- hibition Beginning with works by French artists of the Gothic period, this collection traces the art of France to the present day. Obviously there are gaps. and wide ones. but on the whole the story is well told, and quite tully. Senator Clark was first an art lover. then a collector. He bought what he liked, and primarily for his own ples ure, and the collection he assembled | is essentially personal. Mere rarity and the matter of price did not in- terest him, neither was he concerned with historical sequence; what at- | tracted him in every instanec was in- | trinsic worth, and as predilections were broad in scope his acquisitions | cover a wide range. Through works of | Art possessing genuine merit—and in | most instances charm—the Clark col- | lection truly, as Royal Cortissoz has said, “opens varied vistas into the history of painting.” ; LET us follow some of these in the | field of French art First as | background we have the magnificent | group of Flemish-French Gothic tap- | estries in conjunction with a fine piece | of stained glass from a church in Chartres still earlier in date of execu- | tion, and below stairs lovely specimens of lace by early French makers, to- gether with faience by Bernard de Palissy, potter, enameler and glass maker of the sixteenth century. These | supply our keynote to the later day paintings. They show us, if we ex- amine them attentively, the innate love of the French for beauty. the ex- cellence of their taste, their feeling for | design. It is the sum of these qualities applied to manufacture and various branches of commercial output which bas given France pre-eminence among | the nations of Europe if not the world. | France has always been particularly | also most generously represented in | haust of an engine that never worked | ‘wise as well as clever in this particular.

We in America have | been lavish in imports, but con- | spicuously inhospitable to ‘“skilled | labor,” including artists and artisans. | In America we have cultivated a great | regard for art, but have held the artist in low esteem, whereas in France the artist and his gift have always been | reverenced. If in France a traveler | says, "I am an artis his way is | made easy for him and every facility 1 given to advance his work. There s a deep rooted love of beauty—and beauty to the Frenchman is manifest through art—they are one and the same. There is something more than this, however, in French art. No mat- ter how serious it may be, it is set forth with a lightness of touch which 18 very attractive, it ornaments life, as & necklace of pearls a fair lady. HERE is no renaissance art in the Prench section of the Clark eollection, but when we come to the eighteenth century, we find, in addi- tion to a handful of representative peintings. an entire room taken from & mansion in Paris with typical fur- | nishings, which again suoplies back- ground for the art of the period The ceiling in this room is of the school of Fragonard, gaily painted while in an adjacent anteroom ma be seen a painting by this master of decoration, and canvases by Boucher. who in the spirit of the day delighted tn eompositions of merry little cupids 8l a most charming by Prudhon of a “Lady With Br Eyes"—a typical representative of th French aristocracy.

At the end of the room in which the Gobelin tapestries have been given placement is hung a portrait by Mme Vigee Le Brun of Elizabeth of France sister of Louis XVI. which admirab’y represents the art of portraiture in France in the eighteenth century Art in the t Prance was essent but also frivolous.

The importance and distinction of this school of por traiture was ably manifested in a exhibition held at the Metropx Museum of Art a year or mer: ago, made up almokt entirely of loans from private collections. Even the great English school of a slightly later period did not surpass it w fairest The Beau- designs by in tic sduced The follow- artists the of v.as what n n in BZPORE passing to the paintings of Public Roads. by Prench artists of the nineteenth esntury, mention may be made of three subjects by Daumier, who is 80 fully and magnificently repre- sented in the Phillips collection of this eity, and of two paintings of animals, one by Delacroix, ‘Tf-r L] m‘ the | | which® was given by Mr. Corcoran. | inimitable. of the | | and Serpent,” and the other by Barye, | the sculptor, a water color of a tiger, { both dating back to the romantic period following reversion to the | classic. In the early nineteenth cen- | tury there was in France, it will be remembered, a vogue for dramatic themes in painting—art was employed | to laud valor, to glorify conquest, to | record great events in hiscory, in | short to increase patriotism and exalt | achievement, to make the great | greater still. In order to be more | iImposing and better seen, huge canvasses were painted, later to be | known as “salon pictures;” art be- | came very impressive, but pompous | 1 and dull. The Clark collection skips over this debacle and presents next in order the paintings of the Bar- | bizon School—landscapitst who, moved by the beauty of nature, essaved to | interpret it on canvas with utmost | truth and unfailing charm. Of the works of Corot there are | THE EVENING S no less than 22 in the Clark col- | lection “Clark must have had a positive cult.” says Royal Cortissoz, | | “for the great lyric genius of French | landscape and he had good fortune | in acquiring one major canvas after | another.” Especially notable are | “Ronde des Nymphs” “La Danse sous les Arbres au Bord du Lac” and “The Glade; Gossips.” Also among | the writer's favorites are “Le Colisee | Vudes Jardins Fabrese” and “Cueillette a I'Ariccia.” Corot’s indebtedness to the Italian school is well represented here as well as the individuality of the style of his own which he de- veloped. How poetic was his vision— how willing he was to sing the same | song again and again. | There is no painter who has been | more forged and imitated than Corot, | and aspersions have been made con- | cerning some of the paintings given | to him in this collection. But if they | are so deceptively good, and no longer on the market, should not they be | accepted by the visitor at their face value? It would seem so. Other Barbizon men are represented | here and well: Millet, most admirably by a series of six drawings; Diaz by three canvases, Dupre by one, Rous- seau by three, Troyon by four, Dau- bigny by two. All of these painters are also represented, and in most instances the writer thinks better, in the foreign section of the Corcoran | Gallery’s collection the nucleus of | Here is the splendid Corot, “The Wood Gatherers,” always a great fa- | vorite, & bold piece of painting and | Thus in the study of French art the Corcoran collection admirably supplements and reinforces the Clark collection. | | NOTHER French landscape | painter of the later-day school is the Clark collection.

And here the collector’s | Jjudgment would seem to have tripped, | for surely Cazin was no great arust.} His paintings have, as Corot’s, lyrical | charm, but they have not the indi- | viduality or distinction with which | Corot endowed his works. They are | apt to be'a trifie too pretty, sweet.| But occasionally he attained very | lovely effects, as. for example, “Ecouen | on the Cliffs; Low Tide,” “Starlight | | Hayricks” and “The Windmill.” But | Cazin cannot be said to have made| ‘any real contribution to French art beyond the moment—and the Barbi- zon painters one and all did | Finally we turn to two paintings, | | both of Paris street scenes, by Raf-| | faelli, an impressionist—and of the first water; and to a series of six illus- | | trative panels by Boutet de Monvel | which seem to embody the whole| spirit of French art, and are con-| sidered by some critics as “the br\ght-1 | est spot” in the entire collection. | Cazin was said added nothing to the | length or breadth of French art, but | Raffaelli did. His works, of which | none better exist than these here in | | Clark Collection, have an individually | ! all their own.

A touching story, graphically told, but not without a certain amount of gilding by splendor of costume and martial pomp. De Monvel was first of all an illustrator, then a decorator.

But he was a| | great illustrator and these are de-| | clared to be his “ched d'oeuvre.” Cer- | | tainly they show us another facet of | the art of France and open to its un- | derstanding still another vista. | The art of the modern French | | School has no representation in this | collection, for the knowledge and better understanding of which we can, | however, happily turn to the Phlllipx' Memorial Galler Possibly Senator | Clark was not attracted by it; perhaps | it did not come to his attention. | Americans were not buying works of this school when the Clark collection | was assembled.
