a Trench Painter of the .
Ever-Toiling Masses
By CHARLES H. CAFFIN.
H ERE and there one comes
upon an artist, painter or
sculptor who draws his sub
jects from the lives of the poorer
classes of those who labor. It Is
strange that there are not more.
For the conditions affecting the
masses of workers are one of the
chief elements In the great prob
lem of human betterment; and, as
such, they should not only be an
inspiration to the artist, but he
should be able to do something to
inspire the solution.
If you were to Judge by our ex
hibitions ulone you might suppose
that life in America presented no
realities. That It was mostly a
mildly mannered routine of dally
ing over tea tables, dawdling in
hammocks and basking lazily In
sunshine. Or, If a hint of work is
suggested, that It Is being done by
prim featured, nice handed persons
of polite behavior, under conditions
that are unexceptionable.
Atmospheric Taints.
The taint of the atmosphere
of the boarding house, apartment
house and manicure parlor per
vades our pictures.
There is little or no hint of
mighty forces, material, emotional
or spiritual, on trace of economic
conflicts; of human suffering In its
hand to hand grip with destiny; of
surging aspirations; mighty
failure and mighty achievement; In
a word, of Life, which to-day in
America pulses with hope and
purpose as never elsewhere in the
history of the world.
No; as vet It is to Europe that
one mainly has to look for artists
who tap this vital source of in
spiration. For instance, there is
the world.
He has thrown In his lot with
“workers." He lives In the Fau
bourg, or, as we might say in New
York, on the East Side. He has en
tered into the lives of the inhabi
tants—knows them possibly better
than they know themselves; for,
to a close sympathy with them, he
brings the larger outlook of an
outside philosophy. He is a close
friend to them, individually and
collectively, but views them alsi
In relation to the social whole.
It has helped the large san
ity of the outlook that ho has
not confined It to the workers In
the city. He has mingled with the
workers In the fields and those who
labor In mines and rolling mills.
Example of Art.
I have chosen, as one of the ex
amples of his art, “The Song of the
Great Highroad.” What a splendid
vigor the windings of the road sug
gest! Yes, it is true the windings
mean much unnecessary walking.
They are not the shortest cut to
what is ahead. But, for the time
being, they are a feature of tho
road, and all the- time they are
widening and leading from a land
scape, cramped to one that our im
agination pictures as having largo?
and freer oportunities.
For my own part I know no
picture that is a bettor allegory of
what every true lover of progress
Is longing for and working toward.
It sums up the spirit of the new
Democracy that, not satisfied with
theories of the rights of man, is
intent upon securing for each and
all the realization of our nation’s
pledge, the right of all and every
one to life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness.
Meanwhile, Jules Adler Is no sen
timentalist who flatters his friends.
Note another of his pictures, repro
duced here. “The Mother." The
scene Is outside one of those little
shops In the humble parts of Paris
where they cater for the workmen.
Thin wines are sold there, whole
some beer and also absinthe, which
steals away the brain and destroys
a man’s attitude toward life.
Figures Boldly Set Out.
Twb men are seated at a little
table on the sidewalk. One is con
demning something, while the oth
er listens stu Idly. Both have a
grouch against a social system
which Individually they are help
ing to make worse.
One of Jules Adler’s finest pic
tures represents a strike. The
“works” loom up In the back
ground, their smokeless chimneys
reared against a sky that for the
nonce is clear. Meanwhite, surging
toward us in the foreground, is a
procession of men and women. The
tricolor floats over them and they
sing “The Marseillaise.’’ Leading
the front ranks is a young widow,
whose face, in the intensity of its
expression, has something of the
pain and threat that the Greeks
gave to th»< head of the Medusa.
By her side presses forward a
mlddleaged mah wfeoie right arm
Is gone. His left hand is clasped
bv his son, who holds his other arm
protectingly around the older man’s
shoulders. Further hack with her
arm linked In that of her aged hus
band, Is a woman whose face,
though pinched and worn with suf
fering, is still beautiful. It Is very
'■aim a rid 11 x* m-o she |
" * 1 r• ■ vi . n . und. She
may not live to see it, but a boy
at her side watches with reverent
admiration, and his young face has
caught the quiet glory of hers.
