The pictures represent the taste, In art ' woik not of Ids own race, of ono or tho most distinguished Japanese connoisseurs In tho ait of tho Orient, who was desig nated by his (kivertiuient to be director of the Japancso art exhibit at the Pari ax position In 11)00. a showing that will not easily bo fot gotten by thoso fortunate enough to have seen It. As tho several Introductory chapters In tho rntalogue tell, the maker of this col lection was one of tho earliest mission aries In l'urope for the art of his own people. This was when Hayashl was con cerned In sbowint Japanese achievements it the Paris world's fair In 1878, nnd then It was that he met the French Im pressionists and other painters and sculp tois. with whose work In turn he became enthusiastically acquainted. So It hap pened that Hayashl nnd Degas and Monet and the rest exchanged Kuropean palnt- 1 logs for Japanese pottery and lacquer, and tho Oriental, who lieeame a dealer in Pal Is for Eastern nrt, also added to his private collection by purchase. Pel Imps no better opportunity wltl be vouchsafed for years to oome to study the extent to which a man of one rce can enter Into the fiellngs of another that Is wholly alien In blood nnd tradition. Hayashl hnd not only an expert and eiisltlvn acquaintance with the art of his own country and of China before be came Into iimtact with that of tho West, but he had this further advantage, that he (was personally In touch with tho leaders I of tho French art of his day: ho was their (filend through a series of jears. lie seems to have appreciated Joyously the Ideas und the methods of Degas und Monet, but he nl mi put Into his collection a lot of pictures that fall far below these III expressive beauty. There are, for example, eighteen pic tures by C Rossnno, of whom It would probably not be easy to find biographical data, which seem curiously to contradict tho standard het up In Hayashl'a really knowing and admirable group of eleven drawings und paintings by Degas. There are thirteen pictures by Ylctor Vlollet Le Due, which are so unimportant and so wanting In personality that one cannot easily understand hew a man could have treasured them who could see the beauty :n the Moniis, the PIssarroa, tho Renolra, that now adorns the walls of the Ameri can Art CJallerles. On the other hand there are In the Hayashl collection four paintings, thor oughly French in character, and done In no uncertain way, by a Japanese artist In Paris, Selkl Kuroda, which denote a wholly unexpected powr of assimilation of Occidental vision and Interpretation by nn Oriental. Is our art so easy to apprehend and to Imitate? At least these canvases Indicate that their author was extraordinarily facile In the use of Kuropenn Idioms. And there Is nothing In the handling to signify the touch of a foreign mind or i-plrlt. There Is something uncanny In this sssumptlon of so remote and unlikely a familiarity with the art language of latter day France by a man of Japan, yuite possibly Lafcadlo 1 learn waa so legarded by cultivated Orientals In hla adopted country: there Js a aenae of dis guise, an uneasy feeling of dual personal ity. engendered by seeJng such work.
