                                FOREWORD


The Painters and Sculptors Association is a non-profit-bearing
organization established solely to further interest in American Art, and
to increase the sales of the work of the living American Painter and
Sculptor. The Association is one of contributing artist members and
subscribing lay-members, numbering about one hundred and fifty each.
This membership is not local; the artists are from various regions
extending from coast to coast, while the lay-group is composed of those
interested in Art in all of the larger cities of the United States, and
including Presidents and Vice-Presidents of ten of the great Museums,
together with many officers and directors of these Institutions. There
are representatives from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Rochester, Buffalo, Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Norfolk, Atlanta,
Montclair, Newark, Cleveland, Canton, Dayton, Akron, Aurora, Chicago,
Moline, Rockford, Joliet, Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Louis,
Kansas City, Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco. This makes of the
Painters and Sculptors Association a national organization in its extent
and far-reaching in its interest. This makes it a clearing house and not
merely a local sales place.

According to the plan of the organization of the Painters and Sculptors
Association, each of the lay-members has pledged an annual subscription
of six-hundred dollars for three years, thus providing for that period a
subsidy. Each of the artist members presents to the association, as his
membership fee, one of his works a year, for three years, this period
having been agreed upon as a proper duration to test the practicability
of the plan. At the end of the year each of the lay-members has the
privilege of receiving one of the works of the Artist members.

Delano and Aldrich, architects, have designed and planned the Galleries,
numbering at present fourteen. The galleries as they are now open to the
public constitute the largest and handsomest salesrooms in either Europe
or America, and there is no other place where the work of so many
American artists can be seen or where the exhibit can constantly rotate
and yet maintain its high standard of excellence. In the eleven months
during which they have operated they have been visited by over 110,000
people. In this time it has been demonstrated conclusively that a sales
place may partake of the excellence of standard, the beauty of
installation, the atmosphere, the character, and the dignity of a modern
museum and yet impart quite another form of message. Ownership, and the
joy of possession, are the elements in the psychology of the Painters
and Sculptors Association.

The Association is under the direction of seven men who are nationally
known as business executives, and who contribute their time and
experience absolutely without remuneration.

The sales during the past months have been most encouraging. A number of
portrait commissions have been placed, while important paintings and
bronzes were installed in leading museums.

The First Annual Exhibition, and several of the series of one-man
exhibitions have been given and will be followed by more. Several
out-of-town exhibitions have been held, when the number of sales was
most flattering. Pictures were assembled and shipped from this gallery
to Rome. Assistance was rendered the National Academy of Design, the
Corcoran Biennial, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, The Art
Institute of Chicago, and The Carnegie Institute at Pittsburgh in their
exhibitions this season.

                           _An Appreciation_


An Exhibition of the works of Mr. John Sargent is the most important
event of the kind that could at this moment happen anywhere, as he is
the foremost living painter in the world. So far as one can judge the
work of a contemporary, one is justified in predicting immortality for
these compositions. Sargent belongs among the great portrait painters of
all time, his pictures revealing the mysterious but unmistakable stamp
of genius. In fact, everything he does shows this quality, which makes
his painting the envy of competitors, and the pride and glory of
American art. He has no successful living rival, but is in a class by
himself. So true is this, that if I were asked to name the greatest
living American, I should unhesitatingly name John Singer Sargent.

This Exhibition is for the benefit of the Endowment Fund of the Painters
and Sculptors Gallery Association, with which Mr. Sargent has from the
beginning been in active cooperation.

“John Singer Sargent has been a favored child of the Muses, and early
reached a maturity for which others have to labour long and in the face
of disappointments. He, however, has never had anything to unlearn. From
the first he came under the influence of taste and style, the qualities
which to this day distinguish his work.... With a facility that was
partly a natural gift, partly the result of a steady acceptance of the
problems presented, he proceeded to absorb his master—Carolus-Duran.
Sargent absorbed his breadth of picturesque style, his refined pictorial
sense, his sound and scientific method, not devoid of certain tricks of
illusion and his piquant and persuasive modernity.... Later, Sargent
visited Madrid, and came under the direct spell of Velasquez. The grand
line he had learned while a boy, and from Carolus the seeing of colour
as coloured light, the modelling in planes, the mysteries of sharp and
vanishing outlines appearing and reappearing under the natural action of
light, a realism of observation at once brilliant and refined, large and
penetrating. Finally, from all these influences, Sargent has fashioned a
method of his own.

“How shall one describe the method? It reveals the alertness and
versatility of the American temperament. Nothing escapes his
observation, up to a certain point at least; he is never tired of a
fresh experiment; never repeats his compositions and schemes of colour,
nor shows perfunctoriness or weariness of brush. In all his work there
is a vivid meaningfulness; in his portraits, especially, an amazing
suggestion of actuality. On the other hand, his virtuosity is largely
French, reaching a perfection of assurance that the quick witted
American is, for the most part, in too great a hurry to acquire; a
patient perfection, not reliant upon mere impression or force of
temperament. In the abounding resourcefulness of his method there is a
mingling of audacity and conscientiousness; a facility so complete that
the acts of perception and of execution seem identical, and an honesty
that does not shrink from admitting that such and such a point was
unattainable by him, or that to have obtained it would have disturbed
the balance of the whole. Yet, this virtuosity, though it is French in
character, is free of the French manner, as indeed of any mannerism.
This skill of hand is at the service of a brilliant pictorial sense.
Like a true painter, he sees a picture in everything he studies. It
gives to each of his canvases a distinct aesthetic charm; grandiose in
some, ravishingly elegant in others, delicately quaint in a few, but all
of them variously characterized by grandeur of line, suppleness of
arrangement, and fascinating surprise of detail; used with extraordinary
originality, but always conformable to an instinctive sense of balance
and rhythm.

“Sargent is not of the world in which he plays so conspicuous a part,
but preserves an aloofness from it and studies it with the collectedness
of an onlooker interested in the moving show and in its general trends
of motive, but with an individual sympathy only occasionally elicited.
Sargent has his grip upon the actual, and while in relation to the world
and people about him he is almost a recluse, he has delighted his
imagination with the seemings and shows of things and with their
material significance.”

“Beyond all question Sargent is the most conspicuous of living portrait
painters. Before his eyes pass in continuous procession the world of
art, science, and letters, the world financial, diplomatic, or military,
and the world frankly social. To-day comes a savant, a captain of
industry, or a slender, troubled child. Tomorrow it will be an
insinuating Semetic Plutus; next week may bring some fresh-tinted Diana,
radiant with vernal bloom. Everyone from poet to general, from duchess
to dark-eyed dancer, finds place in this shifting throng....

“With the entrance of Sargent into the arena of art cherished
conventions disappear in sorry discomfiture. With a dignity and a
technical mastery which compel both respect and enthusiasm he tramples
upon tradition whenever tradition stands in his way. It is useless to
scan these canvases in the hope of finding various qualities which for
centuries have been deemed the touchstone of portraiture. Contemplation
and reflection are by no means the rule. That adjustment of diverse
elements which makes for balanced composition is often lacking. That
endearing love of tone for its own sake is frequently absent. The
vigorous outline of Holbein, the rich sobriety of Titian, or the
permeating magic of Leonardo find but faint echo in the work of this
modern innovator. With almost disdainful independence he has declined to
repeat the triumphs of the great forerunners. In place of their ideals
he has substituted ideals which are resolutely his own. However you may
regard his contribution, it is impossible not to recognize its insistent
novelty. Once in possession of the underlying facts, there should be no
trouble in reading aright the salient, positive art, this art which by
turns persuades and repels. Yet one cannot divine just why these
high-bred women are so animated, or why the soldiers and statesmen are
so emphatic, without first peering beneath the exterior. Though Sargent
may himself remain dexterously on the surface, the spectator cannot. It
is not enough to watch this conjurer perform his trick; we must see how
it is accomplished.

“So dazzled has the majority been by what is called the man’s
cosmopolitanism that the real racial basis of his nature has been
over-looked.... Sargent is American in his fundamental instincts. His
adaptability and his very lack of marked bias bespeak the native
complexity of his origin. It cannot for a moment be maintained that the
French paint themselves as Sargent paints them, or the English either.
His art is neither Gallic nor British, it is American, and the chief
reason why it is so different from most Anglo-Saxon art is because it is
so superior, not because it is unAmerican. In any case the sense of
motion remains Sargent’s personal conquest, possibly, even, his chief
contribution to portraiture.

“In Sargent’s portraits women are in the act of starting from their
chairs and men are on the very point of speaking. Here is a dancer whose
yellow skirt still swirls in elastic convolutions; there stands a
painter lunging at the canvas with sensitively poised brush. All is
restless, vivid, spontaneous. One and all these creatures vibrate with
the nervous tension of the age. Other artists have given calm, or
momentarily arrested motion. Sargent gives motion itself. With a
technique facile as it is assertive this magician of the palette, this
paganini of portraiture, has lured us into a new world, a world which we
ourselves know well—perhaps too well—but a world hitherto undiscovered
by painting.”

“Sargent studying under the wing of Carolus-Duran, was in an atmosphere
sympathetic to new ideas, but not at all inhospitable to old ones. While
he emerged from his master’s studio a modern in the best sense of the
term, it was with a vein of conservatism in him which has never
disappeared. Of how many modern painters, endowed, as he has been,
superabundant technical brilliance, could it be said that they have
never exceeded a certain limit of audacity? I know of no canvas of his
which could fairly be called sensational. One of the least conventional
of painters, his art nevertheless remains adjusted to the tone and
movement of the world in which he lives—surely a fine example of genius
expressing its age.

“People complain that Sargent violates the secret recesses of human
vanity, and brings hidden, because unlovely, traits out into the light
of day; that his candor with the brush is startling, to say the least,
and sometimes even perilous. He is accused not simply of painting his
sitter, ‘wart and all,’ but of exaggerating the physical or moral
disfigurement. If this is true there is something humorous in the
spectacle, which is constantly being presented, of men and women running
the risk.... Few of his sitters, seem, as we see them on the canvas, to
have been passive in his hands. The electric currents of a duel are in
the air. Character has thrown down its challenge, the painter has taken
it up, and the result is a work in which character is fused with design,
playing its part in the artistic unit as powerfully, and almost as
vividly, as any one of the tangible facts of the portrait.

“In the light of the long procession of portraits which he has put to
his credit, it seems to me that if there is a living painter in whose
interpretations of character confidence can be placed, it is Sargent.
His range is apparently unlimited. He has painted men and women in their
prime and in their old age, and in whatever walk of life he has found
them, he has apprehended them with the ‘seeing eye’ that is half the
battle.... It is worth noticing that it is not his portraits of men, but
in his portraits of women, who illustrate far more histrionically the
nervous tension of the age, that Sargent has painted his most
unconventional compositions. When his subject has permitted him to
exchange nervousness for repose, with what felicity he has seized his
opportunity! There is not in modern portraiture a more satisfactory
study in dignity and noble stateliness than his ‘Mrs. Marquand.’ (Shown
in this exhibition)

“Sargent is himself in his reading of character in his design, and in
his style. To say this is not to forget his indebtedness, where style is
concerned, to other painters, even, Carolus-Duran. I think there is
something of Carolus-Duran in his mere cleverness which like so much
that is fluent and self-possessed in modern craftsmanship, could have
been developed in Paris and nowhere else. The broad slashing stroke of
Hals has taught him something, it is fair to assume; and the influence
of Velasquez in his work is sufficiently obvious. Yet there is not in
all his painting the ghost of what it would be reasonable to call an
imitative passage. He is no more a modern Hals or Velasquez than he is a
modern Rembrandt or Botticelli, for he looks at life and art from a
totally different point of view, not simply, or grandly, or tragically,
or imaginatively, but with the detached intellectual curiosity of a man
of the world.”

“Sargent did not wholly achieve art, for some of it was born to him, and
some of it, perhaps, was thrust upon him. Training started him right,
but his great success is not wholly due to that. Genius alone can
account for the remarkable content of his work.

“Sargent’s life has been the result of peculiar circumstances—fortunate
circumstances some may think; unfortunate others may hold. At least they
have been instrumental in bringing forth an accomplished painter whose
art no one can fail to admire. That his work may be admired
understandingly it is quite necessary to comprehend the personality of
the artist—to understand his education, his associations, his artistic
and social environments. For if the man himself is cosmopolitan his art
is not less so. It is the perfection of world-style, the finality of
method.

“If I apprehend Sargent rightly, such theory of art as he possesses is
founded in observation. Some fifteen years ago, in Gibraltar, at the old
Cecil Hotel, I was dining with him. That night, as a very unusual thing,
Sargent talked about painting—talked of his own volition. He suggested
his theory of art in a single sentence: ‘You see things that way’
(pointing slightly to the left) ‘and I see them this way’ (pointing
slightly to the right). He seemed to think that would account for the
variation or peculiarity of eye and mind, and with a manner of doing—a
personal method—there was little more to art. Such a theory would place
him in measured agreement with Henry James whose definition of art has
been quoted many times: ‘Art is a point of view, and a genius a way of
looking at things.’

“A painter who has been looking at human heads for many years sees more
than the man who casually looks up to recognize an acquaintance on the
street. I do not mean that he sees more ‘character’—that is more
scholarship or conceit, or pride of purse or firmness of will or
shrewdness of thought, but merely that he sees the physical conformation
more completely than others do. Every one sooner or later moulds his own
face. It becomes marked or set or shaped in response to continued
methods of thinking and acting. When that face comes under the portrait
painter’s eye, he does not see the scholar, the banker, the senator, the
captain of industry; but he does see perhaps, certain depression of the
cheek or lines about the eyes or mouth in contractions of the lips or
protrusions of the brow or jaw that appeal to him strongly because they
are cast in shadow or thrown up sharply in relief of light. These
surface features he paints perhaps with more emphasis than they possess
in the original because they appeal to him emphatically, and presently
the peculiar look that indicates the character of the man appears. What
the look may indicate, or what kind of phase of character may be read in
or out of the look, the portrait-painter does not know or care. He
paints what he sees and has as little discernment of a character as of a
mind. He gives, perhaps, without knowing their meaning, certain
protrusions and recessions of the surface before him and lets the result
tell what it may. In the production of the portrait accurate observation
is more than half the battle. If a painter sees and knows his subject
thoroughly, he will have little trouble in telling what he sees and
knows; and to say of Sargent that he observes rightly and records truly
is to state the case in a sentence.”

                   _Facts Concerning This Exhibition_


In bringing together this retrospective exhibition of Mr. John Sargent’s
important works in this country, we feel that we are rendering a service
to the American people.

It is unquestionably the most important and most valuable collection
ever assembled by a Living Artist, and it is interesting to note that
the insurance policy placed on the collection amounts to nearly a
million dollars.

The Grand Central Art Galleries is a no profit organization and its
efforts are dedicated solely to the interests of the living American
Artists.

Mr. John Singer Sargent has personally selected and approved all of the
paintings in this exhibition and in choosing this Gallery he has greatly
honored this organization.

An Invitation granting free admission to the exhibition to Art Students
is being sent to all of the leading Art Schools; an admission charge to
all others, to defray the cost of the exhibition, will be made.

 _Two Centuries of Frame Making_

In the year 1721 in a small Flemish village lived Grieve, a famous maker
of masterful picture frames; whose sole ambition was to please the
tastes of the great painters of his time.

The best mid-eighteenth century frames were made by him and his
disciples. Grieve was the first to conceive the possibilities in his
chosen field and to realize that a painting to be rightly appreciated
had to be surrounded by a frame chosen artistically and with due regard
to the effect of the painting on the spectator and of the whole as a
work of art.

Neither chance nor fashion entered into their construction. On the
contrary, they were the result of a distinctive aesthetic sentiment for
the beautiful in conjunction with an almost scientific appreciation of
what would enhance the intelligent understanding of the picture.

The demand at that time was so insistent that Grieve was obliged to
teach the tedious task of gilding and wood-carving to the members of his
immediate family; from that moment began this great family of frame
makers.

Not content with their conquest in Belgium, the Grieves moved to London,
which offered them a larger opportunity, and established there a still
more progressive branch of the parent institution.

As is the case with all progressives, they were constantly on the watch
for new fields to conquer and as America seemed particularly inviting,
M. Grieve the youngest of the family, moved to New York and established
the largest hand-carved wood frame factory in the world.

The Grieve of old still lives, and the sacred flame which he kindled is
still kept burning by the single American representative of this great
family of frame makers.

The American Grieve has progressed with the times. He has revolutionized
the ancient art of his forefathers to conform with the demands of modern
times; he has perfected a method of manufacturing through quantity
production the same quality of art frames which the Grieves before him
carved out laboriously at considerable expense.

 _That the GRIEVE Frame adds quality to your picture is a fact which is
 recognized by the foremost Art Dealers and Painters in this Country._

                           EARLY CHINESE ART

Swelling ovoid-shaped Vase of light buff pottery, having its two loop
handles at the base of the neck connected by a collar. The opalescent
glaze of old turquoise-blue is minutely crackeled and encrusted with
reddish earth. The lip, which has been broken, is encased in a copper
band. The glaze completely covers the vase, including the base, which is
slightly concave. The form of this jar is truly noble and the beauty of
its glaze is impossible to describe. Persian influence on Chinese art is
here especially noticeable, for this specimen might easily be taken for
a fine piece of Rakka ware. Tang Dynasty: 618–906 A. D. Height: 13
inches. Greatest diameter: 10 inches.

                                STEINWAY

                   _THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS_

Occasionally the genius of man produces some masterpiece of art—a
symphony, a book, a painting—of such surpassing greatness that for
generation upon generation it stands as an ideal, unequaled and supreme.
For more than three score years the position of the Steinway piano has
been comparable to such a masterpiece—with this difference: A symphony,
a book, a painting, once given to the world, stands forever as it is.
But the Steinway, great as it was in Richard Wagner’s day, has grown
greater still with each generation of the Steinway family. From Wagner,
Liszt and Rubinstein down through the years to Paderewski, Rachmaninoff
and Hofmann, the Steinway has come to be “the Instrument of the
Immortals” and the instrument of those who love immortal music.

 _Steinway & Sons and their dealers have made it conveniently possible
                  for music lovers to own a Steinway.
  Prices: $875 and up, plus freight at points distant from New York._
