The palette gives the value of the grass and of the trees, but, alas, not of the sky-the sky is higher in tone than the palette can go; the painter therefore gets a false value. Hence the tendency among the plein airists to leave out the sky or to do with as little sky as possible.
Et d'un ton plein de franchise il s'ecria, Vive la Croix, vive la Religion, vive la Roi L'auditoire repeta les mêmes mots avec la même enthousiasme, et y ajouta, 'Vive les Missionaries." On the 19th, the following day, a solemn service was performed for the dead in the cemetry of St.
The public who go to Monte know little of its strange mysteries, or of the odd people who pick up livings there in all sorts of queer ways. "Ah!" exclaimed a man who overheard her. "Mademoiselle has wonderful luck! She won seventy-five thousand francs at the Cercle Prive last night. She won en plein five times running. Dieu! Such luck! And it never causes her the slightest excitement."
Just so the painter of the gulf should suggest the ocean beyond; the painter of the landscape, the infinity of space and atmosphere in which it is enisled. What the plein air school contended for in painting is no less requisite in literature.
Diagonally across the plein rise the massive walls of Fort Rotterdam, erected by one of the native rulers, the King of Goa, with the assistance of the Portuguese, when the seventeenth century was still in its infancy and when the settlement on the lower end of Manhattan Island was still called Nieuw Amsterdam.
And now for the 'private view' of a certain artistic club to which she had promised to take her English acquaintance. All the members of the club were young of the new rebellious school of 'plein air' the afternoon promised to be amusing. So the companionship of these two went on, and David passed from one golden day to another.
"Here it is," said Aramis, with a little look of diffidence, which, however, was not exempt from a shade of hypocrisy: "Vous qui pleurez un passe plein de charmes, Et qui trainez des jours infortunes, Tous vos malheurs se verront termines, Quand a Dieu seul vous offrirez vos larmes, Vous qui pleurez!"
Impressionism, decadence, Japanese art, the plein air school. Realism v. romance; Gothic v. Greek art. Socialism, its various schools, its past and its future; Anarchism: bombs. Labour questions: the Eight Hours' Day, the Unemployed, the Living Wage, etc., etc. Mr. Gladstone's career. Shall members of Parliament be paid?
With them were the Comte d'Autun, an elegant young Frenchman, well known at the tables, and Madame Tavera, a very chic person who was one of the most admired visitors of that season. They were only idling and watching the players at the end table, where a stout, bearded Russian was making some sensational coups en plein. Presently Hugh succeeded in getting Dorise alone.
What I have described is not more foolish than the stippling at South Kensington or the drawing by the masses at Julien's. The theory of the division of the tones is no more foolish than the theory of plein air or the theory of the square brushwork; it is as foolish, but not a jot more foolish. Great art dreams, imagines, sees, feels, expresses reasons never.
