SARGENT PAINTING ABROAD DOES NOT EX PATRIATE ARTISTS. NOTES OF THE ART WORLD Written for Th New by W. H. Fes.l A lata number of the Literary Digest contains a reproduction of Geo. Browning Torry's portrait of President Roovlt.

painted at the ordr of Paul Morton. Th legend below tha cut informs us that it is th "first painting of Prldnt Roovelt by an American artiat." From this statement, the editorial position Is assumed to that John 8. Sargent, who would naturally occur to mind and who painted President Roosevelt in bis first term for tha series of Stat banging in tb Whit House, has no Identification th art of this country. This not th first fim that American nationality has been denied this artist, whose supremacy tn th realm of portrait painting Is universally conceded and of whom most Americana Interested In art are naturally proud. Th reflection ha been made tiro out of mind on all Americans who hav gon abroad to find subjects suitable to their method of sx preaslon and even of those who hav sought th advantage of foreign training.

It there wer force In such a conclusion nine tenths of the artists of ability of this country would expatriated. It might aa well said that JJlierraltte, bo painted in Holland, or Zlem in Venice, wer not of th fVencb school. Ther is sn Impression that there la something malign in the influence of foreign residence, something destructive of American feeling and characteristics in th work. Such an impression is absolutely unfounded so far as it relates to th artists of real talent. The painters of our own Hoosier group came back from a long sojourn abroad with their insight Into nature sharpened and their technique strengthened' and refined, and wbo oan deny th Intense Americanism of thslr art? Clot Touch with United Stale.

Sargent, although a Royal Academician and bavins; a studio tn London, has remained tn elos toucb with' the United States through family relationship and Intimacy with American families' both in Europe and at He has painted for long periods In this country, and hla many portraits of well known Americans ar scattered over th land. Th fin portrait of James Whltcomb Riley, painted In Philadelphia for the John Ilerron Act Institute of this oity. Is a case in point, betokening a sympathetic appreciation of th port's moods only possible to a fallow countryman. Again, la admitted that no exhibition of American art 1 truly representative without examples of Sargent's work, and in all International expositions for twenty five years paat bis paintings hav been the chief attractions lcTAV.

A writer in the London Academy recognizes his "American temperament" In the "exuberant self confidence of every one of his dashing brush strokes." He Is "quick, alert, forcible, decisive," qualities which express to this crttlo Sargent's nationality. American State Portraits. An act of Congress allows (3.600 to paid for a portrait of each Prealdent. to rmaJn in th Whit Bouse, and it is to this collection that th Sargent portrait waa added. Not all of th atate portraits are by th best artists.

This is not remarkable, sine th Government has never provided for aora supervising artistic authority, to which the acquisition of such objects should left. A point la th advancement of public culture Is lost In not always having In th stat portraits th combination of th personages that make history and th beat contemporary artistic talent, as Is the case with IioJbeln and Henry VIII, Velaaques and Phllljb IV, Van Dyk and th Stuarta, and David and Napoleon. Fortunately, however, Gilbert, Stuart, Sully and otrters who hav figured conspicuously in the history of American portraiture are represented In the White Huntington painted that of Arthur, ana Kastrnan Johnson painted the Cleveland and Harrison portraits. a a a Tbe city of Paris has accepted John IL ilarjes, the Franco American banker offer of a bronze replica of John Boyle's statue of Benjamin Franklin.
