particularly new as regards the talent of their
authors, are nevertheless worthy of honourable
mention.
The members of the American Art Association
have more to show us in the way of surprises.
Almost all of them are young men, eager for
novelty, and showing evidence of serious work and
often of original fancy. I could wish, however, to
see them still further removed from the academic
influence, and following with closer attention
those masters who, during the past thirty years,
have so brilliantly led the modern art movement in
France. In this connection I will mention the
picture by Mr. H. O. Tanner, Le Christ parmi les
docteurs, which, while excellent in many ways, is
yet hardly adequate to the importance of the
subject. Nevertheless, Mr. Tanner has real merits,
sound artistic education, and sterling gifts as a
painter.
Mr. Herbert W. Faulkner is, I think, more
successful. His Moonlight in Venice is a lovely
bit of colour, the intentionally decorative aspect of
the work in no way destroying the prevailing
impression of dream-seen reality. Also I like
greatly, for its honesty and for the harmonious
precision of its details, his other picture, represent-
ing L'Escalier d'un Palais Vcnitien — a most
excellent piece of painting.
Among the works by members of the Association
that impress me most is the Village au clair de lune,
by Mr. Lionel Walden. This artist has a feeling
for the secret beauty of things, and in him I think
I see a very modern artist of keenest sensibility.
Mr. Garrido has temperament. His Etude de
tillette is bold in touch, albeit somewhat hasty. In
La Parure, on the other hand, he appears in
certain parts rather hard and hesitating. But
perhaps this work is seen to better advantage by
daylight. I examined it under the electric light.
Messrs. P. C. Dougherty, with his Clair de Lune,
and W. H. Singer with his Reflets dans le Port, his
Snow, and his Pavsage d'Octobre, attract me strongly.
They are nearer to nature than are some of the
young artists whose names I have mentioned ;
they give a more impressionist touch to their work,
which is delightfully spontaneous.
