I'llTY-THIltP ANNIWI. EXHIBITION.
II.
The sculpture in the present exhibition
h, with few exceptions, as lutle worth looking at as
asual. Tliore has boeu a great deal written about
American sculpture, yet not many wilt be
ionud at the present day wbo wilt dispute the
proposition that in America the sculptors who have
arrled their art above the stone-cutters level are but
ew. And unions those few, the poets, tbe artists, are
fewer ?till. Who will name, aaaaaf the crowd of flgarea
deslgued by countrymen of ours, more th m a half
doaen the buhble of whose reputation hse not broken
almost before tho little gust Of tsipular applause that
Tted it aban the dead level has di--d away. Where
la Crawford, whan Is (?reeiiou-h. where, oh where. Is
Power?! Whore, toflOotl a? w?R oah. Where an the
anows of yaatarmil of eralaanpnary iiamcH.it is
not gracious to s].ejk, hut how iew ot than stund any
chance ot surviving iu therr cauutry's inciuoiy, ?zoepl
as useful rcmenibiancer* in stone of her great men tone.
It ta aa grnt coaanlaltna to know thai ae have aaae
quite as weil as the Lugiisb, much betar,ladead, era
aidering the opportunities we have had: fur rub patra?a
of ?ouipiuiv han asna flawar henthaa rteb patron of
painting, whereas, la Eaattaad.enailaatoai tor sculp?
ture, both pu!.lie and private, have been pleu.y. The
question is not, whether W? have (lone Bet?
agt thau some others, bat yvhciner, when our
work Is compared with that of nun any where, wbo-.o
tamo Is secure? we shall l>e found to have don. w< 'I at
all. statue-, ol aotahta. etna artaa, atttlaaor ?tending :
busts, real or non.sen.sically ideal ; and then a crowd of
1: nenaoad aalhe,Vydln aad Nymph-,Prooerpean
aud r. i attha and PlaheHwya, ttthyla and
BemiruiniHc-, und so forth and so OB, all
alike weak In an art when to be weal
Is to N mi-, laido Indeed; this is the melancholy ver?
dict ol the Man of Sculpture as she looks over her Atuor
Ican domain. Much ??fibanlr otovoraeaa, she granta;
much ttidu-tiy, much desire to do well; atuoug ctna.n
of her devotees, much leaning ; bat everywhere the min?
imum of s en'mien t. of poets? fnUBg, of -any real artistio
purpose. These things mav nan nna day hue m
America, or to Americans wherever the..' may chaac ? to
be, but assuredly they have not come y? t.
Tbe Academy cnhibitlnus, however, have never "been
the place iu Whleh to look for the pconta of
a better day, and wo shall llnd as few or
them this year as we ban erer tooad. Mr. Olla
Waruer's small bust in plaster. Va 781, Is artistically
the largest phec here, th? only pian that has d( Unite,
artistic char.i.der ; luit so small a bit is almost lo. t iu .1
room full of ii'e-ata busts like this. Still, if tbe visitor
Will scriou-ly look at this head ?ad (orneare it with tho
others about It, even with tho bet ot the oilers, with
Mr. O'Oon..van's "Willium Page," We, 733, he v. ill learn
the distinction BOtWOM artistic feeling and ai li.-tie trick,
between lite and make-believe life ; and he will learn it
much belter by comparing than tWB busts than ho em
by comparing Mr. 'Warner's work with moro stone,
cutting BU Nos. 711 and 710. l'or, when we look at
these inanimate dolls, or at tlw elating linage of General
Muhone, No. 721. and then at Mr. O'Dunovan's
"William Page." we ananeeaearily much Impreaaad
With the mechanical skill of this perforasen
with the crudeness of the others, aud we do not feel its
lack of vitality an I ?xprnatoa, seeing how .lead tin y ave.
But turn ot onco from Mr. O'Donovaa's bust M Mr.
Warner's, aud this little head is so quick, so ?
lug, so artistic in its oompoaitloB, that when we
turn back to Mr. OTOoaevaa'? he,it ?gata, aa wonder
how it cvt i so mu? to uaUre ?talL Mr. O'Denovaa'a
smaller baata of Mr. Wlaatow Home gad Mr. Beard, are
less life-like still than his head of Mr. Page. Be gets a
likeness, it is true, but that any one can do?the point is
to get life, and not ono man In twenty can get life.
Tbe bust of Mi. Page is not a composition at all; It
might be taken from a east of the artist's
head. We ought to Insist on the ?ealptor'a
putting bis art Into everything he touch, s.
Why should w? look for art In a head, t
" Spring," or " Hebe," but think we can do without art
In a hesd, say of Mr. Smith! Outside of Mr. Smith's
circle ot (Mania aud admirers, nobody cares whether It
is a staring or a speaking Rheaen of Smith at all, bol
If it be a work of art, we shall ebeiiah it,whether it lie a
likeness or not. Call Mr. Warner*? little bust a head of
Esculapius or the Indian Bacchus.aiul say It ?M dug up?
on Greek ground, and we should all bo eager for eaata of
it. It is a eheeiful, rich litllo antique, however he eaUt
It. But Mr. O'Douovan's heads will not increase the de?
mand for san?atela. This sculptor isa Pygmalion,
whose statue Is vcxatiously near oomlag to lito. His
bust is a watched pot that won't boil.
Mr. J. S. Hartley evidently belongs to ttie apaatBOdk
?chool. His " ixit's Wife," in the exhibition of the Art?
ists'Association, was wild and sensational enough to
ntiafy the gnadtat apaetlte that ever aapped ra hor?
rors, but la laatoetlralarioi hti " waJriwtaa," in that ex?
hibition is a match for the ether, Tt ?wovor,
bo possibility of reconciling " Lot's Wife," a* tnattJ i.y
Mr. Hartley, with tho beaiitv demanded by Art?the
conception was fantastic, aud il wo no doubt KientiBc,
but there Wits no beauty m it. not even a terrible In muy.
A woman dviug In afSMOaa of agony ns the air,
saturated wr.h salt envelopes her in tte crys?
tals, is not a nt subject for art ; It would
defy Micii.e-i Angela, and Mr. Hartley came daageennuy
near making it ?aasenn? Hi0 "Whirlwind" la ? ?aon
reasonable andesror, but ?till aa Impooslble one for any?
body but a eou-.iinniatc m:i<ter to venture open. Then
Is far too much Htenrana m Mr. Hartley*? mataient of
his theme, too much effort to reconcile ?rgrjaoo and
poetry, uu effort which result? as might have been ex?
pected in giving us neither on nor the other- .1
tn" Lat's Wit,," we were more tuk.-n up wiUi studying
the shape and grouping of sait eryaiah, khan in thinking
Of tbe real horror of the story, so here wo ate put off
With the law of water-s]>ouu, when all we ask is
for the beauty of the water-spout. In " Lot's Wif."
there were t*\o things?an agghnaenttoa of suit-crystal
and a woman m the grip of death; iu tho " Whirlwlud "
there are two things, a waterspout and a woman who
has gone up the spout. What p >etrv, what art demand 4
In either naola ihaMtaRtfleattoaof thehamaaaatan
yiththe elemental force, each ought to be lnteri>ene
trated with the other, If the imagination of th
tutor is to bo satisfied. Bat this is something
that no art has yet accomplished, not ev. |
Japanese an,the most Imaginative of all art In the
realm of m aaeAnattl s, and Western art has never
tittempu d it by any of her greatest liaud?. What we
ask of un artist Is that ho give us beauty. Sublimity,
grundeui. teiror may all be forms of beauty, hut there U
a point beyoad which, if they be carried, they degcoer
ale into tataattalaeaa, and ibis is a fatal degeneracy.
Mr. Hurtlt y is certainly iu the wrong path ; his "Whirl
Wind" Is no more urtistle than the ma:, headed bnl!s thut
heep guard at the gates of f.ilinor.'? Oarden. The visi?
tor, however, may easily think it worse than
tt Is. If, while looking at tt, he read Mr. Oeorge Inness'?
"pot-try" appended to the title la the cHtalogue. This
Is a meat comical production?a kiud of cross between
Mr. Tupper's thought aud Mr. Whitman's verifica?
tion, aud there Is more of the same sort inscribe.! on tho
tra?aos of Mr. luness'a own pictures iu this exhibition,
go that Mr. Hartley cannot complain that he is an ex?
clusive victim. Hut as Mr. Hartley is victimized in
such a way that ho who runs may read, while the
"poetry "on Mr. Inness's frame is so faintly printed
that we msd uot read It unless we will, Mr. Hartley Ig,
after all, a little the worse off.
Miss Olivia S. Ward's bust of Miss Marl.? R. Oakey Is
not a performance on which toe friends of either artist
can reasonably be expected to congratulate tur. Mln
Ward's tab ut for aeulpture Is of the most amateurish
kind, and eiitae y uuc(|Ual as ye!,<;vcii to correct model
BBA, mu '? ! m to na artislic treatment or her nblect.
It ought uot to l>e lost slirht of that up to a eeriain point,
mo.telling iu clay is one of the commonest of human
gift?out .ule ot the circle of mcie.yatiiui.il .
Long before savane man begin to draw with any skill
or acema, y , ages before he n begins, he models
clay, or carves wood and stone with a M itain external

The " Bust of Christ," by M. Ewklel, No. 730, is u con
oeptlon of the subject that belongs rather to the time of
the Renaissance than to the nineteenth century, and row
people will 1* found to aympatblse with it. The head,
on the back of Which Is set, rather Jauntily but grace
fully, a low fer, is gently declined to one side, with an
expression Mats of ennui than of resignation. The hair
is in close rings, thick and clustering, and the ?arttag
beard U softly divided into two poluta. The forehead la
broad but low, tin- nose steel sad ttxoag, w'"1 a isBaate
aquiline curve, the ayas large, aad with sa appealing
look, aro will set in their clear and sculptured orbits ;
the mouth in IW?at and tine without weakness; the
bared throat rteM like hd ivory tower fro-.u the soft folds
of a garment which Is bound alauit with cords, thus indi?
cating that its < arts w? bib lentrtag at ?s a prtesaM? be?
fore Pilate. If it vue not for fu?, we mit'lit accept M.
gaaSbaTs conception as Mr. Raaaal Otrtat, tta Apollo ?I
