Ignacio Zuloaga

finest piece of still-life painting in the exhibition.
No use of high lights on the various pigments
spread about the palette or other trick to obtain
realistic touches so clear to many who paint. The
reverse to the Uncle Daniel painting is Lolita with
its brilliant colours of red, green, blue, crimson,
black and grey; perhaps the most brilliant and
daringly painted canvas in the room. In saying
this I do not wish it to be understood that the
colours in any degree run riot. Restraint is one
of the most remarkable qualities in Zuloaga’s
work, not restraint by leaving out or modifying
but due to a complete control of his medium and
a grasp of his subject.
Perhaps in some ways the finest example is
Women on the Balcony, which unfortunately, can-
not be reproduced. It is the most happy, spirited,
completely satisfying picture in the exhibition.
Marcelle Souty is also a charming painting. Alert,

quivering, passionate life is expressed in every
brush mark used to build up the figure of this
interesting and beautiful woman. In this picture,
and in such paintings as the Basque Peasant and
Uncle Daniel, he shows his ability to give the
inward character of the subject.
This is the first important exhibition of Zulo-
aga’s work in America and it is an exhibition in
which every painting has significance. An
important adjunct to the exhibition is the cata-
logue arranged by Dr. Christian Brinton. It is
one of the most comprehensive catalogues which
has yet been published. It is a work which has
undoubtedly taken much time to prepare. Be-
sides a foreword, by Mr. John S. Sargent, is a
long introduction by Dr. Brinton; a list of the
paintings, giving every important detail of each
one, as well as a list of Zuloaga’s art in public col-
lections all over the world. In addition there is
