A Revival of Eighteenth-Century French Art
Sectors of the frivolities of the age—-Watteau and
his pupils, Lancret and Pater, and his followers,
Boucher and Fragonard.”
The latest and, perhaps, the most striking suc-
cess achieved by Mr. Shinn is to be found in his
series of panels, executed only in gray, for the
great hall of the Salisbury House, near Lenox, of
which Messrs. Walker & Gillette are the archi-
tects. Here are a succession of vistas through
repeated pairs of garden urns, where, in a fore-
ground half buried in a lavish profusion of flowers,
sit ideal figures, gay and laughing, filled with a
youthful abandon that surely echoes the “en-
chanted epoch” of their birth.
