I wonder If any one who has visited
the I'.in-Amerkau has failed to note
that gioat picture by George Dp For
est Hrush "The Sculptor and tho
King." It is not great In size, for It
occupies but a modest space on the
wall of Oalleiy O. At a little distance
the canvas seeins bare and empty and
the figures but tiiadeiiunto In compari
son; but at dose range, the proportions
are tliiinyoil and the dignity of the
two llsures Is enhanced hy the meas
ute of the lofty walls inclosing them.
It Is u painting of much simnllcltv
of composition; only two men, n water
Jar, lovely In Its nivhaolcal severity,
an Indian blanket of Intilcate design
thrown carelessly In the foregiouud.
These are all. Tlie picture has In It
nioie of the technique of Alma Tadeina
than any American artist save Hrush
lias evinced. This vast hall of the
Incr.s Is of nimble. The richly veined
surface, polished until It icllects lights
ted and bionze, Is real inaihle. You
know that it would feel tool to
the touch, and even tho closest ob
servation falls lo icveal tho mechani
cal work of the brush. The stately
height of the hall Is a fitting back
ground for tho lofty figure of tho
king. The attitude of royalty belong,
to that tall, superb foim and daik
visage with the ni.uks of race In the
features. Tho stiong, Imperious mouth
has tho cures of conscious power, the
proud eye- contains the knowledge that
its owner Is the aiblter of the fate
of moil, lie gazes long at tho gieat
panel befoio which he stands tho
Severn stylo of nrt made familiar In
Mexican eviaviillons and In Into of
Kgyptology. t'anoil In marble the
figures f-tainl out In their allegoilcal
slgnlliianie lor the plcasur" or thn
frown of the mighty king. The sculp
tor leans forward with a look on his
fine that gives you a thrill of pain at
your heart, so tense Is his attitude, so
wistful the eyes and tho paited lips.
Will the gieat ruler of his r.icp deign
to aicopt this work of his hands, or Is
ho to touch no i hord of responsiveness
In Inat haughty foiiI and then Is his
own life-work endeiiv Instinctively
you lead this story and again and
again you scan the picture to wrest
fiom tho loyal conntuiiaui o tho answer
to tho poor slavo'a yuestlou and your
own. It is nlmost vital to yourself as
you giu-o, for il Is the eternal problem
