Requests for\ncopies Of PARTICULAR NUMBERS\nshould be accompanied by TEN\nCENTS IN POSTAGE STAMPS.\n\nMOTHERHOOD A CRIME:\nIn the New York Sun of March 6th the fol-\nlowing notice appeared concerning a sensational\nsuicide in New Haven:\nNew Haven, March 6—“ The motive that\ndrove Lillian May Cook to end her life with a\nbullet was to escape shame. Had she lived she\nwould have become a mother\nThis is but one of a thousand such incidents\nwhich occur every week. Should not this\ndramatically condensed report of the tragedy of\na girl’s life receive more than passing attention?\nWe go to see Brieux’s Maternity at the theatre.\nWe applaud and adjourn to a the dansant.\nWhen it comes to the test what do we DO?\n\nDO NOT DO UNTO OTHERS:\nThe United Stales are very indignant at the\nrestrictions placed upon their oversea commerce\nby the Nations at War.\nDo they realize how other nations feel about\nthe restrictions imposed upon foreign importa-\ntions IN TIME OF PEACE by the many objec-\ntionable features of the administrative parts of\nour tariff laws?\n\nTHE ACADEMY:\nJohn W. Alexander states as his reason for\nresigning the presidency of the New York\nAcademy of Design that he is tired of his fruit-\nless campaign to obtain larger quarters in which\nto display the productions of New York artists.\nThe spring exhibition of the Academy does\nnot convince us that we miss much by not seeing\nmore canvases of the standard of those shown.\nWe might parody the answer of Socrates to\nthose who wondered at the small size of the\nhouse he had built for himself. ‘‘Would that\nthe present SMALL quarters of the Academy\n(four large rooms) were filled with works of\nMust we have quantity instead of quality?\nWhat we really want is more art and less\n\nVALUES IN ART:\nThere was a great turmoil and indignation\nwhen the art collectors learned that a dealer\nhad included a number of pieces from his own\nstock in the Arthur I. Hoe Collection when it\nwas offered for sale at auction at the American\nArt Galleries.\nWe do not think this dealer’s method should\nbe encouraged . . .\nBut . . .\nWe would like to know how much artistic\nmerit an old oriental specimen loses when it\nis discovered that it was formerly owned by Mr.\nX instead of Mr. H.\n\nNEW MUSIC:\nThe musical composition written by Albert\nSavinio, published in this number of 291, should\nbe called New Music rather than Modern Music.\nSavinio has devoted himself to finding the\nplace of music among the modern arts. He\ndoes not try to express in music either a state\nof consciousness or an image. His music is not\nharmonious or even harmonized, but DISHAR-\nMONIOUS. Its structure is based on drawing.\nHis musical drawings are, most of them, very\nrapid and DANSANTS, and belong to the most\ndiscordant styles, for this composer thinks that\na sincere and truthful musical work must have\nin its formation the greatest variety of musics—\nALL THAT WHICH ONE HEARS—aII that\nwhich the ear imagines or remembers.\nHe does not invent, he discovers the signifi-\ncance of all sorts of sounds and uses them to\ncreate an emotive source.\n“La Passion des Rotules” is No. 12 in a series\nof “Chants Elranges” which has for Us title\n“BELLOVEES FATALES.’’\n\n“LES SOIREES DE PARIS:”\nWe forgot to stale that the “ Ideo-\ngramme” by Guillaume Apollinaire, published\nin the first number of “291,\" was originally\nprinted in the French publication “Les Soirees\nde Paris.”\n\nMODERN MUSIC:\nMr. Leo Ornstein displays in his music the\nmentality of an artist toy-maker. He has pre-\nserved from his career as a child, wonder, the\nchild element. His musical compositions are\ntoy imitations. Although they are intricate in\ntheir structure, the spirit has the naive charm\nof a child imitating what strikes his attention.\nNevertheless he has brought us a breath of\nthe intentions of modern thought as applied\nto music.\n\nCOLOR MUSIC:\n\nNothing was proved on the question of the\nrelationship of color to music in the concert\ngiven by the Russian Symphony Orchestra at\nCarnegie Hall on March 20th. The experiment\nas it was performed was absolutely unsuccessful.\nThe idea that two sensations of such different\ncharacter as those produced by the organs of\nsight and by the organs of hearing could be\nmingled to form one sensation that would be\neither the addition or the conjugation of the\ntwo, still remains a theory. What has been\ndemonstrated up to the present, is, that of two\nsimultaneous sensations one always predomi-\nnates to the detriment of the other.\nProbably, with the appropriate apparatus, and\nwith a sufficient brain education the problem\ncan be solved. The POTES is not denied even\nby theologists. But until now, all the experi-\nments on this subject have left it a hypothesis.\n\nTHE FLOWER SHOW - FLORISTS:\nThe flower show in Paris is an event in the\nworld of art as well as horticulture. The show\nin New York demonstrates that we are at least\nfive years behind Europe from the horticultural\nstandpoint and from the other standpoint.\nTra-la, what a mess!\nWhy?—We have imported excellent crafts-\nmen, gardeners, and the show was one of\nmagnificent specimens of grower’s skill. Would\nyou expect a master-plumber to be very strong\non a Louis Quinze Salon? That good gardener\nof yours is trying the artistic. Now for the\nhonor and glory of his craft discourage him.\nHis model is the New York florist. There are\nno florists in New York. A florist is an artist.\nWe have flower dealers. Watch their windows:\nCrockery and bric-a-brac . . . the latest.—\nHelp!\n\nAN OPPORTUNITY MISSED:\nThe Carroll Galleries are to be congratulated\non having shown a small number of Picasso\npaintings which were truly representative of the\nartist’s early work. These paintings have now\npassed into private hands. There is cause for\nregret in the fact that the Metropolitan Museum\nof Art did not avail itself of this opportunity to\nacquire worthy examples of Picasso’s paintings\nat a reasonable figure.\nThe policy of the Museum seems to be to\nclose its doors to fine examples of paintings\nuntil they have so risen in value as to become\nscarce and difficult to acquire. The Museum\nthen complains that it cannot afford to purchase\nthem.\nIs it impossible for the Museum to obtain\nadvice from men with the eye and understand-\ning that discerns artistic merit as distinct from\nmonetary value?\n\nPUBLIC SPIRIT:\nThe daily papers have had much to say about\nGeorge Grey Barnard’s disinterested action in\noffering to replace at his own expense the two\ngroups “Art” and “History” in front of the New\nYork Public Library.\nHe puts the cost at from $15,000 to $20,000.\nIncidentally he is bringing suit against the firm\nwho spoiled his work, for $50,000.\n“I am bringing this suit for $50,000 simply to\nsecure publicity,” says Mr. Barnard.\nLet us hope that when all accounts are settled\nand new orders booked, Mr. Barnard will not\nbe “out of pocket.”\n\nTHUMBS DOWN:\nOn March 15th, Beachy fell to death with his\naeroplane in San Francisco Bay while accom-\nplishing a spectacular flight for the entertain-\nment of thousands of spectators.\nOn March 17th, Frank Stites fell ISO feet to\nhis death while performing a feat in his aeroplane\nfor a film company.\nThe American public is very indignant at the\nloss of innocent lives on the battlefields of\nEurope.\nBull fights are prohibited on U. S. territory.\nOur kind hearts rebel at the idea of cruelty to\nBut the Public must be amused.\n\nECONOMIC LAWS AND ART:\nThere are many things in the Montross Show\nof American Moderns which tempt the critic\nto lay about him and slay unmercifully, but as a\nunit the Exhibition is unquestionably both inter-\nesting and significant. The mere fact that such\nan exhibition can take place on Fifth Avenue\nwhere rents must be paid, is an important indi-\ncation of the change of the public attitude, and\nthe added fact that the gallery was usually\ncrowded at twenty-five cents per head, shows\nthat the interest is not spotty but widespread.\nIn short, it is safe to announce that cubism or\nfuturism, or whatever else these men call their\nwork, is not only beginning to pay its way, but\nis undergoing the trying ordeal of being the\nfashion.\nThe obvious question is: “Who took the\nlead the artists or the public?” In other words,\nis American cubism, or futurism, so sincere an\nexpression that the speedy conversion of the\npublic to its serious consideration was inevitable,\nor did the public interest, aroused by 291 and\nthe big Armory Exhibition of French Moderns,\ncreate a demand which our men are trying con-\nsciously or unconsciously to supply? Judging\nfrom results in the Montross exhibition, both\nkinds of influence are present, thus leaving to\nthe buying public an interesting opportunity of\nfurthering modern thought by weeding out the\ntrue from the false,and to those who have reached\na conclusion as to the critical faculties of the\npublic, an opportunity of prophesying some of\nthe future developments of modern art in\n\n1913\nPicabia\nNew York"}, {"page_pdf": 2, "page_imprimee": "2", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaao191504-01.1.2", "texte": "Katharine N.
