Studio: international art (41.1907)

IVilton Lockwood

for the Myopia Country Club.
Dressed in the regalia of the
club, the horn, which is the
badge of office, protruding from
his waistcoat pocket the man
as a sportsman is conscientiously
portrayed. For dash, for sound-
ness of understanding and fluency
of brushwork, this achievement
is perhaps second to none of
Mr. Lockwood's works. Mr.
Cassatt is represented as a man
of affairs, a man whose interests
are objective, rather than subjec-
tive. Standing with one hand
in his pocket, the other holding
a whip, his hat and gloves, the
figure imparts a striking impres-
siveness of appearance against
its softly harmonious ground.

If it be urged that Lockwood
is a colourist pre-eminently,
attention should be called to his
marvellous refinement and beauty
of line, when considered wholly
from the standpoint of pure grace.
See the subtle juxtaposition of lines
in the portrait of Mrs. Sweetser.
It is poetic, it is musical—it is
all that dignity and subordination
demand in the psychology of art.

At once an idealist and an
impressionist, the temper of
Wilton Lockwood is most pro-
fitably seen through the mirror
of his works, where we may
discover him at times elusive,
delicate at others, and again
virulent and even dramatic. His
freshness of invention shows
itself in the delightful spontaneity
with which he approaches each
new subject.

Apart from the honours pre-
viously mentioned as having
fallen to this talented painter, he
was awarded a silver medal at the
Paris Exposition of 1900, another
at the Pan-American Exposition
of 190T, and still another at St.
mr. a. j. cassatt by wilton lockwood Louis, 1904. He is an associate

of the National Academy, a

portrait of Frank Seabury as master of the hunt, member of the Society of American Artists, as well of
which was executed within the space of four days the Copley Society of Boston. M. I. G. Oliver.
