TEMPLE OF CASTOR BY JULES
AND POLLUX, GIRGENTI GUERIN
There is a quality in the best of these canvases that
stirs a response in those deeper, primitive senses that
lie below the discipline of thought. The technical
skill of the artist has been absorbed in the embodi-
ment of a pictorial impulse and the emotion has left
a certain spell upon the canvas. There is more
than artistic performance or the expression of a per-
sonal style in such paintings as The Blue Girl and
Youth. Mr. Hawthorne is something of a poet with
his brush.
The painting by F. Ballard Williams, Undercliff,
Isle oj Wight, which was reproduced last month, is
the property of Mr. William Macbeth. The Sum-
mer is owned by George S. Palmer, New London,
Conn.
Louis R. Ehrich has brought several old masters
. to his galleries opposite the New Library on Fifth
Avenue. A portrait by Pourbus the elder shows
an unknown cavalier painted in 1576. A large
painting by Leandro Bassano, in celebration of fire,
introduces Vulcan and Venus among the figures.
LII
Van Honthrost, a contemporary of Van Dyck, who
also painted in England, is represented by a portrait
of Prince Maurice of Bohemia. The Philosopher
is a noteworthy portrait attributed to Jacopo da
Pontormo.
At the Folsom Galleries, 396 Fifth Avenue, Leslie
W. Lee has shown an attractive group of water
colors done from scenes in Mexico and Lower Cali-
fornia. Mr. Lee handles the medium well and
studies the lay of the land and the quality of the
atmosphere with definition and charm. Such a
sketch as that catching the low, early sun on the
water burning through the Morning Haze is evi-
dence of the painter's freedom with flowing, wet
paper. Several oils afford a striking record of
Mexican Indian types. At the same galleries Piero
Tozzi has shown a group of portraits, including a
dashing full length of one of the Russian dancers
and a head of Alfred Stieglitz. The Reaper ob-
tained the silver medal last year at Seattle and in
1906 at Rome. In December the Folsom Galleries
will hold exhibitions of work by Mrs. Albert Herter
and Charles H. Woodbury.
