May 20 (Special Corre spondence.) Little by little, since the first of April, Paris has re sumed partially its accustomed mode of life. Most of the shops on the boule vards and larger streets, closed since the beginning or the war, have re opened. The numerous venders in the streets of postal cards and knicknacks have been driven away and the aspect of the city is normal again. The artistic life is expressing itself In exhibitions for the benefit of the Fraternity Artistic and Literary, and for the Belgian refugees. Of the 43 mu seums in Paris there are three' open today. The Petit Palais, Musee Guimet and the Musee du Luxembourg. This last week the President of the Republic inaugurated an exposition organized by the OUy of Paris in the Petit Palais. Here are exhibited with its usual exhibition of pictures numer ous works of art rescued in haste from the Invaded provinces in the north o France. Among the most beautiful res cued treasures are a number of su perb tapestries from the cathedral at Reims (no longer spelled Rhelms). Far Kmt Exhibit. The Musee Guimet. consisting mainly of a museum of religions of Jndia and Kastern Asia, including a large collection of Oriental pottery and a considerable library, has been opened for some .months. It is interesting to see how the Par East is forming its liaison, silent and sure, with every part of the so-called civilized world. It makes one think. Last August, when the invading Ger mans came rushing towards Paris with the fury of an unbanked river, most of the precious objects of art were re moved from their accustomed places in the museums and public gardens and were bidden or taken away from Paris. The Musee de Luxembourg was de nuded of many of Its pictures and statues, others too large or too heavy to -be moved were left but encased, and its doors were closed and barred. Guards were sentineled outside. The Musee de Luxembourg was cre ated In 1886 for the exposition of statu- ary. pictures and objects of art bought by the government and destined for the Louvre. Works of art cannot be ex posed In the Louvre until ten years after the death of the artist. There is occasionally an exception In the case where special collectionsre given to the Louvre. . There are a number of pieces of statuary and of pictures that are con tinually exposed in the Musee de Lux embourg: otbers that are changed from time to rtme. The present exposition consists of work of the contemporary Belgian - school artists: engravings, lithographs -and paintings of Frank Brangwyn. the world's greatest en graver, and marbles and bronzes of Arguste Rodin, the world's greatest sculptor. together with numerous sl.ituary usually exhibited in the large room adjoining the entrance. Ml to Fair Vlnltora la Hope. I have chosen for this article the Musee de Luxembourg and its present exposition, thinking, perhaps, that I can give a few suggestions to help further to appreciate the works of Rodin and Brangwyn that will- be found at the Panama-Pacific Interna tional Kxposltlon. In the Spring of last year at London In the sumptuous salons of Grosvenor House, there was given an exposition of French art in which figured largely a number of works, of the celebrated sculptor. Rodin. After the war was de clared. ' it was thought prudent to re turn these works to France and it as decided that they should be temporarily exposed at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Rodin was so deeply touched by the sympathy that Kngland showed in her quick response to join herself to attacked France and violated Belgium, that, with the spontaneity of his ener getic appreciative character, he offered his works to the British nation in homage to Kngland and to her valiant soldiers. Touched by this testimony of appre ciation, the celebrated English en graver and painter,. Frank Brangwyn. who had had his first success In France, wrote to the conservator of the Musee de Luxembourg that he was ready, if they would accept his gift, to offer to the Musee de Luxembourg his complete work of engraving and litho graph, as testimony of his admiration for France and for her splendid sol diers. This proposition was accepted and the present exposition consists of 80 of the 240 pictures that lie gave. Brangwyn"s pictures are hung upon the walls; Rodin's statues and busts are grouped about the room. Gifts Shun- Creatneaa. This generosity and appreciation shows the dominant traits in the char acters of these two men. two traits that have gone far in developing their greatness, in making them masters! These two men stand apart, isolated in the art that they have created. Each has offered to the world a new school, a school full of modernism in its realities of the unceasing. war that at tends all human effort and that accom panies all phases of evolution. Their style is powerful, masculine. We call them fearless builders. Rodin, psychologist, makes visible the working of the subconscious mind by means of the play that he gives to the muscles. By this art, he puts life into bronze and marble. Brangwyn has lifted the common place to the pedestal of the ideal. He has dignified and ennobled labor. He has sought his artistic inspiration tn the toil of the workingmen who by their sweat and strength earn their daily bread. It Is in the bent back and the burdened shoulders of the tollers and their master work, that he has found expression for his own art. Titles Srlf-Explanatory. "Brick Makers at Work," "The Bridge Builders." "Making a Railway Cutting." "Building the Kensington Museum," "The Demolition of . the Hannibal" . (an enormous merchant ship), "Churches and Mosques." are the self-explaining titles of some of ols etchings. His paintings are not less masterful, although they deal with more sunshine and less iron. His "Buccaneers" is in Oriental coloring a ooat on a dark blue sea almost navy blue filled with dark. rich bronzed-skin people and spreading out behind them a sail 6f wondrous red. a red that produces a profound sensa tion. In the panels In the arcade of the Court of Abundance, symbolizing the elements, at the Panama Exposition, will be found splendid examples of his different phases of work the daring spots of color, the abrupt shadows, the voluptuous blendtngs of colors and his energetic mastery of design. It seems to me that much of this talent is blended in the panel of the windmill, the rainbow and the field of yellow grain. Brangwyn's early youth and pre natal experiences echo and re-echo all alons the path of his life. He is a painter, an architect, a colorlst by right of birth. Yontk I'asned Amid Art. Frank Brangwyn was born in 1867 at Bruges, in Flanders, of English par ents. He was his mother's flrstborA The Hazelwood Coziest and Most Attractive Mining-Place in the City. Eight Dlnlnr Rooms.

Curtis Brangwyn, father, was a distinguished architect, who came to Belgium to direct the construction of a large carpet-weaving factory and to take charge of the interior decoration of churches. - Thus young Brangwyn, from his early Infancy through his most impressionable years, was sur rounded by sumptuous tapestries, rich embroideries, rare examples of finest architecture. His early Imagination, satiated with such colors and such tissues, made him. later, thirst for the voluptuous beauty of the Orient. The family, returning to London in 1875, where Mr. Brangwyn had Impor tant work in the Kensington Museum, young Brangwyn, by the. luck of Chance, came under the observation of William Morris, the great decorator, who recognized in the boy promised genius and took him into his atelier, where he remained three years. Here he got his foundation for. his decora tive taste, which latter, in mural dec orations, have instructed and pleased so many people at most all of the International expositions during the last 20 years. At 20 Brangwyn decided to see the world " that his imagination had created. The first call took him to the sea, where he lived among the fisher folk and the ehipbuilders. and made here his first picture of the toilers of the sea. - Pictures Are Inspiring;. Later he visited Tunis, Tripoli, South Africa, Constantinople, . Japan, Russia, Italy and Spain. All the coun tries where gorgeous and brilliant colors blend, the natural and the dyed. He stored his mind with a wealth of red and blue and yellow, such as al most no other artist dared to dream. With half-closed eyes, sometimes in regarding his pictures. I feel that 1 have before me the richest Persian carpet. Returning from his travels, which oc cupied some years, Brangwyn settled on terra firma and commenced at Lon don his serious life's work. He made many large mural decorations in London- in Paris he decorated the estab lishment of Art Noveau for M. Bing, for whom he also designed carpets and furniture; for Tiffany, in New York, he designed stained-glass windows. His life was filled with work. He has left the legend and fable story-telling subjects of most of the English painters and has created his own- fearless, energetic, enterprising style that deals with the bread-and-butter side of life; that is serious and sober, yet harmonious and beautiful. He has culminated in beauty and sym pathy the phases of civilization nearest human. He has more than Inter-nationalized; he has de-nationalized. To ap preciate his work is to seek out all these traits of character, and then to please the senses by his thrilling con trasts of color. Space does not permit me to write of Rodin as I would. I will choose of his numerous masterpieces those whose copies he has sent to the Panama Ex position. The originals are in the Mu see de Luxembourg, excepting the "Pen seur," which is before the Pantheon. These are representative of his best work. Auguste Rodin is, without doubt, th greatest sculptor since Michael Angelo. He Is a mystic, a philosopher of obser vation and meditation profound. He expresses the real character of his sub jects and makes one feel that unexplain able life by the play of nerves and mus cles. His ambition is to express in a noble manner the truth of the passions and emotions of the human body. His love and his worship is nature. Octave Mirbeau has -written of him: "Nature is his only source of inspira tions, the model constantly consulted where he seeks and attains perfection, difficult and majestic. To see nature, to know nature, to penetrate into her profound mysteries, to understand her immense snd simple harmonies that are locked up in the human body and in the clouds of the sky, in the trees, in the mountains, in the stone and in the flower, is a gift that few minds pos sess. It is because of this that Auguste Rodin is so grand, so multiplied, so new." First Plaster Snapected. "L" Age d'Alrain" in plaster was first exposed in 1877 at the Champs Elysees salon. At that time a great cry went up from some of the artistic "monde" of Paris. They accused Rodin of tak ing his moulding from a living human form, saying that such perfection of anatomy could not be created. Strong and sure of himself as Rodin is, he qui etly proceeded to produce "L'Age ,d' Airian" in bronze. He exhibited it in the great salon of 1880, where it re ceived the, medal and was bought by the French Republic and placed in the Lux embourg Garden. The ancients adopted four ages as dividing human history. The age of gold was the time during which a per petual Springtime reigned over the earth and man was simple and pure; the age of silver marks the -epoch in which man commences to decline from his innocence; evil dominates the "Age d'Airain" (the age of steel), and the age of iron is signaled by the invasion of all excesses and all crimes." If you will notice in L'Age d'Airain. your eyes first seek the lower part of the statue, the legs of this adolescent, not yet awakened to manhood and strength, are vacillating and almost feminine. As your eyes follow, the movement, the body grows firmer, the hips peem to tremble; you- feel' that breath fills the lungs and there is an upward movement of the shoulders; the face lifted in hope;- the arms. nervous and graceful; the fists clenched in determination, Btretch to master their torpor. A first being ready in his first effort to combat and support the misery, the pain of the human ex istence. "St. John" la Perfect. "St. John the Baptist" expresses the perfection of movement in sculpture. You feel that this saintly preacher is ready to leave his pedestal and go into the world. "The educator of souls goes toward the uncertain future in em ploying all the force of his muscles. His regard visionary, the gesture of his hand showing the infinity, the weight of his step, all that symbolizes at the same time the swiftness of thought and the slowness of progress, are the words with which Martial Teneo describes this masterpiece. If you will notice the pose of the legs and shoulders, of how the left shoulder lifted blends into and aids the movement of the right leg, you will understand that movement is as Rodin himself expresses it "the transition of one attitude into another." , Dante describes Hell; Plato refused to; Rodin has worked 30 years upon a door representing the "Porte de L'En fer." It is not yet accomplished. One figure, "Le Penseur" (The Thinker), is completed. It is, perhaps, the best known in America of Rodin's work. It is in bronze; a male figure nude, seated, with shoulders pliant and arms heavy and robust, a whole body strong and muscular to support a massive head. The head upon the clinched hand, the elbow upon the leg, in position of pro found meditation. This door is to be 50 feet in height, and in the two panels on either side, he describes every phase of human misery, the sadness and aliegresse of love; a shrieking human ity after a lost ideal. "Le Penseur" is to be on top in front .of the ty m pan the grandeur of intelligence dominating all. - PARENT-TEACHERS END YEAR'S WORK ON FRIDAY Last Meeting Will Be for Brief Business Session and Reports, as Well as Discussion of Future Plans.
