WONDERFUL ART
1 PAINTING OF
CLOUDS BY DAVIS
Vast Depth and Breadth of
" Sky Portrayed In Manner
Never Achieved by-Others.
By LETA MOORE MEYER.
At the fine arts exhibition at tlie
Hotel' Fontenelle, ."Noonday
Clouds,1 by Charles H. Davis, the
"greatest painter of clouds who ever
lived, is as good as any of his work.
Every thoughtful person must at
times look at the sky and wonder at
its vast depth, breadth And uniform
ity, and that anything so empty
coutd contain so much; at the clouds
and their soft lightness for which no
cne has ever found- a better word
than "fleecy," at their size and in
finite variety and swift movement,
and also very often at their useless
, ness except as beauty, and how
often they seem like a waste, of pow
er and misdirected effort like many
lives we know.
All these things are in this picture'
and much else. The sky goes back
and the space between it and the
clouds is felt, which is one of the
most difficult things every land
scape painter works for. The move
ment is there and the inanity. Every
painter knows what a maddening
tiling it is To make white look white.
More white paint won't do it. A
profound knowledge of the relation
and juxtaposition of color, values,
design, composition, size of the
parts, relation of things as they go
back into the canvas, the tremen
dously important matter of eflges
and an endless number of princi
ples, enough to fill a valume, are
necessary to make white paint look;
merely white. And then to make
really white paint look like real
clouds requires more vast knowl
edge. It is one of the bafflng prpblems
which the greatest master has never
been able to solve, that in order to
gain one thing, another must be
sacrificed. Davis here has used the
principle of chiaroscuro which was
first used by Rembrandt. Only
the Dutch master used it as a mat
ter of light, while Davis has. used it
In composition. Marvelously as he
lias painted the ground, showing
the parts of the landscape so defin
itely and stiH holding the mass to
gether perfectly and keeping it
subordinate to .the sky, which is
