Studio- Talk
The American painter, Childe Hassam, inau-
gurated the art season at Durand-Ruel’s with a dis-
play of ten canvases. They represented landscape
scenes in Naples, Paris, Rome and Brittany, and
were remarkable for their bright colouring and
delicate execution, the atmosphere being most
happily suggested in each instance. I like
particularly the Rue de Pont Avert, all bathed
in light, and the Promenade apres-midi, show-
ing two women in summer dresses walking in
a garden, with the sun shining through the
leaves. Mr. Childe Hassam has an eye for
grace, and his brush is full of refinement.
Evidently he owes much to the noted impres-
sionist, Mme. Morizot, MM. Renoir, Pissarro,
and Monet. To mention this fact is by no
means to disparage Mr. Childe Hassam.
G. M.
his observation, and by his absolute sincerity, he
won a high place in the Trench art movement.
His influence was greater than people seem to
think on the young generation of dessinateurs de
maturs, many of whom are so delightfully or so
curiously gifted. Portraits, lithographs, posters,
illustrations, and a great number of original
drawings—such is his achievement. He loved
truth and perfection ; he was bold, and had
strong convictions, but even in his most audacious
essays he had the gift of style, which is too often
wanting in the work of our modern draughtsmen.
In everything bearing his signature one finds a rare
sense of beauty, not the conventional traditional
beauty inculcated by the academies, but that
special beauty which lies in truth strongly felt and
strongly expressed.
