SARGENTS WORKS G0ING T0 PIECES Time Plays Havoc With Artist’s Masterpieces New Haven, Jan. 6 (M—Portraits and other oil paintings by John | Singer Bargent, one of America's| greatest artists, are deteriorating | 80 rapidly that very few of them | will be extant within 100 years, ac- cording to Daniel Thompson, in- structor in the Yale school of fine arts. Whistler paintings are also in danger, he sald. In an interview here today with the Register, Mr. Thompson said that through careleas or injudicious use of color, and certain peculiari- ties in his painting method, Ser- gent's works are going to pleces. Already, he said, some 20 of thess paintings, great heritages of Amer- ican contemporary art, are nearly | worthleas and scarcely one is un-| touched by the pamsage of time. Mr. Thompeon cited the “Portrait i of Madame X" in the museum fin | which he said great fissures were | opened in the paint. A hard shell outer coat of paint | drying over soft pigment used in| preliminary sittings by Sargent | caused this, he sald, and friends had often protested to the artist against this “slip-shod” method — but in vain, Many of Whistler's works faced the same fate, Mr. Thompson said. A different but equally inefficient | method was used by this artist, ac cording to the Yale authority. Cracking of paint, and fading into the background were the courses of ruln open to the latter's pictures, | he eaid. The “Portrait of Sarasate” by ‘Whistler, tn the Carnegie inatitute in Pittsburgh, has almost complete- Iy faded out, it was pointed out. REY. DR, WOELFKFIN DIES IN NEW YORK at'on.
