further interest in ,american ,art1 and to increase the sales of the work of the living ,american ,painter and ,sculptor4 ,the ,association is one of contributing artist members and subscribing lay-members1 numbering about one hundred and fifty each4 ,this membership is not local2 the artists are from various regions extending from coast to coast1 while the lay-group is composed of those interested in ,art in all of the larger cities of the ,united ,states1 and including ,presidents and ,vice-,presidents of ten of the great ,museums1 together with many officers and directors of these ,institutions4 ,there are representatives from ,new ,york1 ,boston1 ,philadelphia1 ,brooklyn1 ,rochester1 ,buffalo1 ,washington1 ,d4 ,c41 ,baltimore1 ,norfolk1 ,atlanta1 ,montclair1 ,newark1

makes of the ,painters and ,sculptors ,association a national organization in its extent and far-reaching in its interest4 ,this makes it a clearing house and not merely a local sales place4 ,according to the plan of the organization of the ,painters and ,sculptors ,association1 each of the lay-members has pledged an annual subscription of six-hundred dollars for three years1 thus providing for that period a subsidy4 ,each of the artist members presents to the association1 as his membership fee1 one of his works a year1 for three years1 this period having been agreed upon as a proper duration to test the practicability of the plan4 ,at the end of the year each of the lay-members has the privilege of receiving one of the works of the ,artist members4 ,delano and ,aldrich1 architects1 have designed and planned the ,galleries1 numbering at present fourteen4 ,the galleries as they are now open to the public constitute the largest and handsomest salesrooms in either ,europe or ,america1 and there is no other place where the work of so many ,american artists can be seen or where the exhibit can constantly rotate and yet maintain its high standard of excellence4 ,in the eleven months during which they have operated they have been visited by over #aaj1jjj people4 ,in this time it has been demonstrated conclusively that a sales place may partake of the excellence of standard1 the beauty of installation1 the atmosphere1 the character1 and the dignity of a modern museum and yet impart quite another form of message4 ,ownership1 and the joy of possession1 are the elements in the psychology of the ,painters and ,sculptors ,association4 ,the ,association is under the direction of seven men who are nationally known as business executives1 and who contribute their time and experience absolutely without remuneration4 ,the sales during the past months have been most encouraging4 ,a number of portrait commissions have been placed1 while important paintings and bronzes were installed in leading museums4 ,the ,first ,annual ,exhibition1 and several of the series of one-man exhibitions have been given and will be followed by more4 ,several out-of-town exhibitions have been held1 when the number of sales was most flattering4 ,pictures were assembled and shipped from this gallery to ,rome4 ,assistance was rendered the ,national

,margaret ,french ,cresson ,miss ,grace ,mott ,johnson ,an ,appreciation ,an ,exhibition of the works of ,mr4 ,john ,sargent is the most important event of the kind that could at this moment happen anywhere1 as he is the foremost living painter in the world4 ,so far as one can judge the work of a contemporary1 one is justified in predicting immortality for these compositions4 ,sargent belongs among the great portrait painters of all time1 his pictures revealing the mysterious but unmistakable stamp of genius4 ,in fact1 everything he does shows this quality1 which makes his painting the envy of competitors1 and the pride and glory of ,american art4 ,he has no successful living rival1 but is in a class by himself4 ,so true is this1 that if ,i were asked to name the greatest living ,american1 ,i should unhesitatingly name ,john ,singer ,sargent4 ,this ,exhibition is for the benefit of the ,endowment ,fund of the ,painters and ,sculptors ,gallery ,association1 with which ,mr4 ,sargent has from the beginning been in active cooperation4 ,william ,lyon ,phelps 8,masters of ,american ,paintings0 ,charles ,caffin ,courtesy of ,doubleday ,page ,company1 #aijb 8,john ,singer ,sargent has been a favored child of the ,muses1 and early reached a maturity for which others have to labour long and in the face of disappointments4 ,he1 however1 has never had anything to unlearn4 ,from the first he came under the influence of taste and style1 the qualities which to this day distinguish his work4444 ,with a facility that was partly a natural gift1 partly the result of a steady acceptance of the problems presented1 he proceeded to absorb his master--,carolus-,duran4 ,sargent absorbed his breadth of picturesque style1 his refined pictorial sense1 his sound and scientific method1 not devoid of certain tricks of illusion and his piquant and persuasive modernity4444 ,later1 ,sargent visited ,madrid1 and came under the direct spell of ,velasquez4 ,the grand line he had learned while a boy1 and from ,carolus the seeing of colour as coloured light1 the modelling in planes1 the mysteries of sharp and vanishing outlines appearing and reappearing under the natural action of light1 a realism of observation at once brilliant and refined1 large and penetrating4 ,finally1 from all these influences1 ,sargent has fashioned a method of his own4 8,how shall one describe the method8 ,it reveals the alertness and versatility of the ,american temperament4 ,nothing escapes his observation1 up to a certain point at least2 he is never tired of a fresh experiment2 never repeats his compositions and schemes of colour1 nor shows perfunctoriness or weariness of brush4 ,in all his work there is a vivid meaningfulness2 in his portraits1 especially1 an amazing suggestion of actuality4 ,on the other hand1 his virtuosity is largely ,french1 reaching a perfection of assurance that the quick witted ,american is1 for the most part1 in too great a hurry to acquire2 a patient perfection1 not reliant upon mere impression or force of temperament4 ,in the abounding resourcefulness of his method there is a mingling of audacity and conscientiousness2 a facility so complete that the acts of perception and of execution seem identical1 and an honesty that does not shrink from admitting that such and such a point was unattainable by him1 or that to have obtained it would have disturbed the balance of the whole4 ,yet1 this virtuosity1 though it is ,french in character1 is free of the ,french manner1 as indeed of any mannerism4 ,this skill of hand is at the service of a brilliant pictorial sense4 ,like a true painter1 he sees a picture in everything he studies4 ,it gives to each of his canvases a distinct aesthetic charm2 grandiose in some1 ravishingly elegant in others1 delicately quaint in a few1 but all of them variously characterized by grandeur of line1 suppleness of arrangement1 and fascinating surprise of detail2 used with extraordinary originality1 but always conformable to an instinctive sense of balance and rhythm4 8,sargent is not of the world in which he plays so conspicuous a part1 but preserves an aloofness from it and studies it with the collectedness of an onlooker interested in the moving show and in its general trends of motive1 but with an individual sympathy only occasionally elicited4 ,sargent has his grip upon the actual1 and while in relation to the world and people about him he is almost a recluse1 he has delighted his imagination with the seemings and shows of things and with their material significance40 ,modern ,artists ,christian ,brinton ,courtesy of ,doubleday ,page ,company--,the ,sun1 #aijh 8,beyond all question ,sargent is the most conspicuous of living portrait painters4 ,before his eyes pass in continuous procession the world of art1 science1 and letters1 the world financial1 diplomatic1 or military1 and the world frankly social4 ,to-day comes a savant1 a captain of industry1 or a slender1 troubled child4 ,tomorrow it will be an insinuating ,semetic ,plutus2 next week may bring some fresh-tinted ,diana1 radiant with vernal bloom4 ,everyone from poet to general1 from duchess to dark-eyed dancer1 finds place in this shifting throng4444 8,with the entrance of ,sargent into the arena of art cherished conventions disappear in sorry discomfiture4 ,with a dignity and a technical mastery which compel both respect and enthusiasm he tramples upon tradition whenever tradition stands in his way4 ,it is useless to scan these canvases in the hope of finding various qualities which for centuries have been deemed the touchstone of portraiture4 ,contemplation and reflection are by no means the rule4 ,that adjustment of diverse elements which makes for balanced composition is often lacking4 ,that endearing love of tone for its own sake is frequently absent4 ,the vigorous outline of ,holbein1 the rich sobriety of ,titian1 or the permeating magic of ,leonardo find but faint echo in the work of this modern innovator4 ,with almost disdainful independence he has declined to repeat the triumphs of the great forerunners4 ,in place of their ideals he has substituted ideals which are resolutely his own4 ,however you may regard his contribution1 it is impossible not to recognize its insistent novelty4 ,once in possession of the underlying facts1 there should be no trouble in reading aright the salient1 positive art1 this art which by turns persuades and repels4 ,yet one cannot divine just why these high-bred women are so animated1 or why the soldiers and statesmen are so emphatic1 without first peering beneath the exterior4 ,though ,sargent may himself remain dexterously on the surface1 the spectator cannot4 ,it is not enough to watch this conjurer perform his trick2 we must see how it is accomplished4 8,so dazzled has the majority been by what is called the man's cosmopolitanism that the real racial basis of his nature has been over-looked4444 ,sargent is ,american in his fundamental instincts4 ,his adaptability and his very lack of marked bias bespeak the native complexity of his origin4 ,it cannot for a moment be maintained that the ,french paint themselves as ,sargent paints them1 or the ,english either4 ,his art is neither ,gallic nor ,british1 it is ,american1 and the chief reason why it is so different from most ,anglo-,saxon art is because it is so superior1 not because it is un,american4 ,in any case the sense of motion remains ,sargent's personal conquest1 possibly1 even1 his chief contribution to portraiture4 8,in ,sargent's portraits women are in the act of starting from their chairs and men are on the very point of speaking4 ,here is a dancer whose yellow skirt still swirls in elastic convolutions2 there stands a painter lunging at the canvas with sensitively poised brush4 ,all is restless1 vivid1 spontaneous4 ,one and all these creatures vibrate with the nervous tension of the age4 ,other artists have given calm1 or momentarily arrested motion4 ,sargent gives motion itself4 ,with a technique facile as it is assertive this magician of the palette1 this paganini of portraiture1 has lured us into a new world1 a world which we ourselves know well--perhaps too well--but a world hitherto undiscovered by painting40 ,art and ,common ,sense ,by ,royal ,cortizzoz ,courtesy of ,scribner ,son1 #aiac 8,sargent studying under the wing of ,carolus-,duran1 was in an atmosphere sympathetic to new ideas1 but not at all inhospitable to old ones4 ,while he emerged from his master's studio a modern in the best sense of the term1 it was with a vein of conservatism in him which has never disappeared4 ,of how many modern painters1 endowed1 as he has been1 superabundant technical brilliance1 could it be said that they have never exceeded a certain limit of audacity8 ,i know of no canvas of his which could fairly be called sensational4 ,one of the least conventional of painters1 his art nevertheless remains adjusted to the tone and movement of the world in which he lives--surely a fine example of genius expressing its age4 8,people complain that ,sargent violates the secret recesses of human vanity1 and brings hidden1 because unlovely1 traits out into the light of day2 that his candor with the brush is startling1 to say the least1 and sometimes even perilous4 ,he is accused not simply of painting his sitter1 #8wart and all1' but of exaggerating the physical or moral disfigurement4 ,if this is true there is something humorous in the spectacle1 which is constantly being presented1 of men and women running the risk4444 ,few of his sitters1 seem1 as we see them on the canvas1 to have been passive in his hands4 ,the electric currents of a duel are in the air4 ,character has thrown down its challenge1 the painter has taken it up1 and the result is a work in which character is fused with design1 playing its part in the artistic unit as powerfully1 and almost as vividly1 as any one of the tangible facts of the portrait4 8,in the light of the long procession of portraits which he has put to his credit1 it seems to me that if there is a living painter in whose interpretations of character confidence can be placed1 it is ,sargent4 ,his range is apparently unlimited4 ,he has painted men and women in their prime and in their old age1 and in whatever walk of life he has found them1 he has apprehended them with the #8seeing eye' that is half the battle4444 ,it is worth noticing that it is not his portraits of men1 but in his portraits of women1 who illustrate far more histrionically the nervous tension of the age1 that ,sargent has painted his most unconventional compositions4 ,when his subject has permitted him to exchange nervousness for repose1 with what felicity he has seized his opportunity6 ,there is not in modern portraiture a more satisfactory study in dignity and noble stateliness than his #8,mrs4 ,marquand4' 7,shown in this exhibition7 8,sargent is himself in his reading of character in his design1 and in his style4 ,to say this is not to forget his indebtedness1 where style is concerned1 to other painters1 even1 ,carolus-,duran4 ,i think there is something of ,carolus-,duran in his mere cleverness which like so much that is fluent and self-possessed in modern craftsmanship1 could have been developed in ,paris and nowhere else4 ,the broad slashing stroke of ,hals has taught him something1 it is fair to assume2 and the influence of ,velasquez in his work is sufficiently obvious4 ,yet there is not in all his painting the ghost of what it would be reasonable to call an imitative passage4 ,he is no more a modern ,hals or ,velasquez than he is a modern ,rembrandt or ,botticelli1 for he looks at life and art from a totally different point of view1 not simply1 or grandly1 or tragically1 or imaginatively1 but with the detached intellectual curiosity of a man of the world40 ,american ,painting and ,its ,traditions ,john ,van ,dyke ,courtesy of ,scribner ,sons1 #aiai 8,sargent did not wholly achieve art1 for some of it was born to him1 and some of it1 perhaps1 was thrust upon him4 ,training started him right1 but his great success is not wholly due to that4 ,genius alone can account for the remarkable content of his work4 8,sargent's life has been the result of peculiar circumstances--fortunate circumstances some may think2 unfortunate others may hold4 ,at least they have been instrumental in bringing forth an accomplished painter whose art no one can fail to admire4 ,that his work may be admired understandingly it is quite necessary to comprehend the personality of the artist--to understand his education1 his associations1 his artistic and social environments4 ,for if the man himself is cosmopolitan his art is not less so4 ,it is the perfection of world-style1 the finality of method4 8,if ,i apprehend ,sargent rightly1 such theory of art as he possesses is founded in observation4 ,some fifteen years ago1 in ,gibraltar1 at the old ,cecil ,hotel1 ,i was dining with him4 ,that night1 as a very unusual thing1 ,sargent talked about painting--talked of his own volition4 ,he suggested his theory of art in a single sentence3 #8,you see things that way' 7pointing slightly to the left7 #8and ,i see them this way' 7pointing slightly to the right74 ,he seemed to think that would account for the variation or peculiarity of eye and mind1 and with a manner of doing--a personal method--there was little more to art4 ,such a theory would place him in measured agreement with ,henry ,james whose definition of art has been quoted many times3 #8,art is a point of view1 and a genius a way of looking at things4' 8,a painter who has been looking at human heads for many years sees more than the man who casually looks up to recognize an acquaintance on the street4 ,i do not mean that he sees more #8character'--that is more scholarship or conceit1 or pride of purse or firmness of will or shrewdness of thought1 but merely that he sees the physical conformation more completely than others do4 ,every one sooner or later moulds his own face4 ,it becomes marked or set or shaped in response to continued methods of thinking and acting4 ,when that face comes under the portrait painter's eye1 he does not see the scholar1 the banker1 the senator1 the captain of industry2 but he does see perhaps1 certain depression of the cheek or lines about the eyes or mouth in contractions of the lips or protrusions of the brow or jaw that appeal to him strongly because they are cast in shadow or thrown up sharply in relief of light4 ,these surface features he paints perhaps with more emphasis than they possess in the original because they appeal to him emphatically1 and presently the peculiar look that indicates the character of the man appears4 ,what the look may indicate1 or what kind of phase of character may be read in or out of the look1 the portrait-painter does not know or care4 ,he paints what he sees and has as little discernment of a character as of a mind4 ,he gives1 perhaps1 without knowing their meaning1 certain protrusions and recessions of the surface before him and lets the result tell what it may4 ,in the production of the portrait accurate observation is more than half the battle4 ,if a painter sees and knows his subject thoroughly1 he will have little trouble in telling what he sees and knows2 and to say of ,sargent that he observes rightly and records truly is to state the case in a sentence40 ,,oil ,,paintings #a ,portrait of

retrospective exhibition of ,mr4 ,john ,sargent's important works in this country1 we feel that we are rendering a service to the ,american people4 ,it is unquestionably the most important and most valuable collection ever assembled by a ,living ,artist1 and it is interesting to note that the insurance policy placed on the collection amounts to nearly a million dollars4 ,the ,grand ,central ,art ,galleries is a no profit organization and its efforts are dedicated solely to the interests of the living ,american ,artists4 ,mr4 ,john ,singer ,sargent has personally selected and approved all of the paintings in this exhibition and in choosing this ,gallery he has greatly honored this organization4 ,an ,invitation granting free admission to the exhibition to ,art ,students is being sent to all of the leading ,art ,schools2 an admission charge to all others1 to defray the cost of the exhibition1 will be made4 ---------------------------------------- --------------------------------

#cjie ,spanish #afth ,century ,two ,centuries of ,frame ,making ,in the year #agba in a small ,flemish village lived ,grieve1 a famous maker of masterful picture frames2 whose sole ambition was to please the tastes of the great painters of his time4 ,the best mid-eighteenth century frames were made by him and his disciples4 ,grieve was the first to conceive the possibilities in his chosen field and to realize that a painting to be rightly appreciated had to be surrounded by a frame chosen artistically and with due regard to the effect of the painting on the spectator and of the whole as a work of art4 ,neither chance nor fashion entered into their construction4 ,on the contrary1 they were the result of a distinctive aesthetic sentiment for the beautiful in conjunction with an almost scientific appreciation of what would enhance the intelligent understanding of the picture4 ,the demand at that time was so insistent that ,grieve was obliged to teach the tedious task of gilding and wood-carving to the members of his immediate family2 from that moment began this great family of frame makers4 ,not content with their conquest in ,belgium1 the ,grieves moved to ,london1 which offered them a larger opportunity1 and established there a still more progressive branch of the parent institution4 ,as is the case with all progressives1 they were constantly on the watch for new fields to conquer and as ,america seemed particularly inviting1 ,m4 ,grieve the youngest of the family1 moved to ,new ,york and established the largest hand-carved wood frame factory in the world4 ,the ,grieve of old still lives1 and the sacred flame which he kindled is still kept burning by the single ,american representative of this great family of frame makers4 ,the ,american ,grieve has progressed with the times4 ,he has revolutionized the ancient art of his forefathers to conform with the demands of modern times2 he has perfected a method of manufacturing through quantity production the same quality of art frames which the ,grieves before him carved out laboriously at considerable expense4 ,that the ,,grieve ,frame adds quality to your picture is a fact which is recognized by the foremost ,art ,dealers and ,painters in this ,country4 ,importers of ,genuine ,antique ,gilt ,carved ,wood ,painting ,frames ,specialists in the ,framing of ,old ,master ,pictures ,address ,after ,may
