Artists' Palettes and Personalities By FREDERIC J. HA8KIN

WASHINGTON, D. C. April IT. Palettes of a number of famous artists of the nlnetenth. century, collected by the late George A. Lucas, of Baltimore, are on display at the Corcoran Art Gallery here. Two little oblong pieces of wood, besmeared with dark daubs of paint, are souvenirs of Camilla Corot, the celebrated French painter of landscapes. Visitors to the collection llnaer before these wooden plaques Im

agining how Corot must have chosen from them the colors for some of his

famous woodland scenes. . They are

told that one of these palettes the one with a little red seal bearing Cor-

ofs signature In one corner was an' outstanding feature of Interest at a French salon exhibition some years ago. After Corot's death, a friend reverently took this palette to bis studio, along with Corot's pipe and one of his picturesque red and white Nor

mandy caps worn on sketching trips.

Constant Troyon. who Is now re

garded as the painter who has best understood cows and has painted them with the most sympathy, is also rep

resented by a palette In the Lucas collection. Daubigny. Jules Breton and

Charles Boughton are among the other

well konwn painters whose palettes were presented to the American connoisseur.

It is an unusual collection. A paint

er's pallettes ordinarily are cherished

by his family or thrown away as mere

discarded tools of no Importance or value. Yet a palette is the most per

sonal belonging of an artist, it is per

haps too much to say that the character of the artist may be read in the Daint be smears on his palette, but

artists 6ay that the palette of a Corot or a Millet Is a lesson In the man's method of working. One old artist advised a pupil: "If you would become

a great painter study assiduously the palettes of those who have gone be

fore you."

The layman looking at 72 palettes, some oblong and some oval, but all

more or less alike to him, Bees only

the outstanding differences. He Is at

tracted by the large palette of Dela

croix on which 47 blobs of color are

laid In neat rows. This was an old-

style way of laying a palette, he is

told. Most of the artists apparently reveled in a more emotional use of color. Their palettes were presented to the collector practically as the artists left them after some piece of

work, except that in a number of cases the painter cleaned off a space in the center and dashed off a sketch. Artists in Carefree Mood These studies add greatly to the interest and value of the palettes. They represent the artist In a carefree mood with no thought of painting to please the public or to make a sale. One artist sketched In fresh colors a fawn and kid dancing gaily. Another painted the head of a Persian cat looking out realistically from its background of

mottled color. Still another painted a dim landscape in soft, dark colore fading into the blurred frame of

paints. But among them all, Corot's undec

orated palette Is the greatest attraction. Now, when his work brings fabulous sums and when his palette Is treasured as a priceless souvenir, It Is difficult to imagine that this French painter was for years unappreciated by the art world. At the salons his pictures were badly hung so that the light was either too glaring or too dim for the picture to attract any atten

tion. Once, the artist tried standing In front of his neglected work a landscape that would draw crowds at any exhibition now. He reasoned that if some one appeared to be Interested In the picture, others would be attracted to come and look at it Finally a honeymoon couple strolled up.

The groom said: "That Is not bad. think there is something in that."

And Corot's heait leaped with appreciation.

But the bride, whom Corot describ

ed as the softest and gentlest little

person, drew him away with a shudder

and said: "It is frightful. Come on."

And Corot ends the story: "And I said to myself, 'Art thou satisfied? Thou

hast heard the opinion of the public."

Troyon, too, the master painter of

cows, was unappreciated In his day. One story says that when a jury of

artists voted Troyon a decoration, official art circles were aghast The Min

ister of Fine Arts shook his head re

signedly when be saw Troyon's name on the list of artists who were to re

ceive decorations.

"It appears decidedly that I know

nothing about painting," he lamented

as he unwillingly put his, signature to

tne order. Corot Regarded as Radical

It eeems strange that these nineteenth century artists were regarded

than as radicals who dared to break

away from tradition and paint nature as she seemed to them rather than as she had always been painted. One of their worst crimes was that they chose to paint in straightforward manner the forests, peasants and farm scenes of France when every painter

was supposed to be steeped In the classic atmosphere of Greece and Italy. The amazement of the French public at the French landscapes was something like that of our own modern public when it discovered recently that novels descriptive of mid-western life might be taken seriously, and that all American literature need not bear a New York stamp. People nowadays

are less frightened by new Ideas and revolts than they were in the France of the nineteenth century. Artists and

public alike held out strongly against Millet with his toil worn .peasants, Troyon with bis endless studies of cattle, and Corot with his French forests which bore little resemblance to any reasonable Italian landscape. The source of inspiration for these artists, and a number of others who were non-conformists like them, wag

the little French village of Barbizon

where they worked at their painting. From their association with this village a group of painters came to be known as the Barbizon school, and also as "the men of thirty" because It was about 1830. that the Barbizon school came into prominence. In 1826 two painters got lost In the forest of Fontainebleau, and wandered

to the village of Barbizon where they spent the night with a peasant The

next morning they were so enraptured over the peaceful beauty of the remote hamlet and the entrance to the forest nearby that they immediately bargained with the peasant for board and lodging and settled down to paint. The fame of Barbizon as an ideal artists retreat spread, and in a few

seasons the peasant host had to convert a barn into an Inn to bouse his eager guests. In the rush season for outdoor sketching, artists even slept on a large table for the privilege of getting up at five o'clock or earlier and rushing out to study the sunrise,

in the forest Corot tells vividly of going out at three o'clock and watching the daybreak with its succession of wonders. Mr. Lucas, who resided In Paris for more than 60 iyears, was especially interested In this Barbizon school and with great foresight, he collected both pictures and palettes of the artists, to the lasting benefit of America.
