He is near Degas among the Frenchmen and Zuloaga among the new Spaniards; near them in a certain forthright quality of depicting life, though unlike them in technical and individual methods. Yes, Zorn, that crisp, bold, short name, which begins with a letter that abruptly cuts both eye and ear, quite fits the painter's personality, fits his art. He is often ironic.
"The kidding's over, Zorn," Retief said. "Call it off or I'll kill you." "I believe you," Zorn said. "But you won't have long to remember it." "All the killing will be for nothing," Retief said. "You'll be dead and the Rotunes will step into the power vacuum." "So what? When I die, the world ends." "Suppose I make you another offer, Zorn?" "Why would it be any better than the last one, chiseler?"
As an illustrator of sacred history, the world may one day return to John Martin. Anders Zorn what's in a name? Possibly the learned and amiable father of Tristram Shandy or that formidable pedant Professor Slawkenbergius might find much to arouse his interest in the patronymic of the great Swedish painter and etcher.
Inside, a mob packed the wide, low-ceilinged room, clustered around gambling devices in the form of towers, tables and basins. "What do we do now?" Magnan asked. "We gamble. How much money do you have in your pockets?" "Why ... a few credits." Magnan handed the money to Retief. "But what about the man Zorn?" "A purple cutaway is conspicuous enough, without ignoring the tables," Retief said.
Yet through the open arch, in a pleasant study, one could see a good Zorn, a Venom portrait, and some prints. This nook, formerly the library, had been given over to the energetic Miss Hitchcock. It was done in Shereton, imitation, but good imitation. From this vantage point the younger generation planned an extended attack upon the irregular household gods.
The several masters of the outdoor school were now called up, their merits discussed and their failings hammered: Thaulow, Sorolla y Bastida, the new Spanish wonder, whose exhibition the month before had astonished and delighted Paris: the Glasgow school; Zorn, Sargent, Winslow Homer all the men of the direct, forceful school, men who swing their brushes from their spines instead of their finger-tips were slashed into and made mincemeat of or extolled to the skies.
"So much for the word of a diplomat." Retief looked at the short-barreled needler in Zorn's hand. "I see you hedge your bets, Zorn," he said. "We'll wait here," Zorn said, "until the excitement's over inside. I wouldn't want to attract any attention right now." "Your politics are still lousy, Zorn. The picture hasn't changed. Your coup hasn't got a chance." "Skip it.
It forms a really fine body, its head being Count Munster, whom I have already found very agreeable at Berlin and Paris, and its main authority in the law of nations being Professor Zorn, of the University of Konigsberg; but, curiously enough, as if by a whim, the next man on its list is Professor Baron von Stengel of Munich, who has written a book AGAINST arbitration; and next to him comes Colonel Schwartzhoff, said to be a man of remarkable ability in military matters, but strongly prejudiced against the Russian proposals.
Mommsen, Schmoller, Schiemann, Zorn of Bonn, and his colleague there, von Dirksen, Professor Dietrich Schaefer, Professor Adolph Wagner, and many other scholars have been, and are, politicians in Germany, and none of them friendly to England, to France, or to America.
But personal appliances are another story." "So what do we do plow 'em under with back-yard cultivators?" Zorn looked at Retief, puzzled. "What's the point?"
