THE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION, 1898.

INTRODUCTION.

For the first time for several years it becomes bhe pleasant duty of the critic to bear witness to the quite unusual interest of the annual exhibit -an improvement in general character which has been acknowledged on every band This improvement it is satisfacton to recognise, is not due to the superlative merits of any particular works in painting or sculpture. A few such, in actual fact or by comparison, arc to be found in every annual Academj exhibition; and it is they, ii is true, which are commonlj held to give the tone to the whole and, so to speak, to mark the time of its onward march. But this year, more notably than in the recent past, the phenomenon of conspicuous advance is as clearlj seen anion- the rank and file as among those who arc recognised bj right of reputation and talent as unchallenged leaders.

And yet this advance is perhaps not so much thai of actual accomplishment as of intention, made evident by a quality of vivacity, energy, and purpose, the more remarkable as the recent disappearance of those who have hitherto sustained the high watermark of English art might have been expected to result in the lowering of the standard. Yet the opposite appears to be the case; encouraged and actuated in some sort l>\ the law of compensation, the younger men have risen in the occasion which opportunity has offered.

A curious circumstance which will probably be noticed by ever} visitor to the A.cademj is that, witb a partial exception, nearlj every picture contributed bj French artists of wide reputation characteristic though it maj be, utterly fails to hold its own in the exhibition. A.1 the same time, ii is gratifying to realise that even those artists who have received their education in France and have thus become the Anglo-French wing of the English school have succeeded in extracting the full benefit of their foreign training without sacrificing their individuality, and,

INTRODUCTION.

above all, without stumbling into the pitfall which the very merits of the French system prepares for the unwary. These painters form, indeed, a brilliant phalanx, among whom Mr. Waterhouse, Mr. Clausen. Mr. Stanhope Forbes, Mr. La Thangue, and Mr. Brarnley are among the most distinguished. No one could mistake their pictures for the work of Frenchmen, as is commonly the case with the French-taught artists oi nearly every country. The same can hardly, perhaps, be said of Mr. Sargent and Mr. Shannon. As Americans, their receptivity is, no doubt, more sensitive and greater in proportion as their racial individuality of temperament is less: more elastic and self- adaptive, they have greater facility in assimilating the virtues they seek to acquire, but in so doing they sacrifice to no slight degree their national personality, which, whatever its defects may be, must always remain one of the most interesting and most valuable qualities in a work of art. It is difficult to say in what particular section of art the present Academy excels. There is so much that is interesting in every section save, perhaps, in that of serious painting of the nude;

for alike in the departments of subject- and figure- painting, of portraiture and landscape, of sculpture and water-colour, the standard is kept with remark- able equality, and. it may be added, with piquancy. Of all of these sections an accurate representation will be seen in the following pages ; and if it be found that the collection is not entirely complete, the lacunae must be attributed to commercial or other considera- tions on the part of the artist, and not to lack of zeal on that of the editors, nor of enterprise on that of the publishers. Moreover, as has already been sug- gested, the absence of a few specific pictures is this year of less moment than has been the case on pre- vious occasions, when a handful of leading works would practically monopolise the main interest of the exhibition.

In one respect a publication such as this holds the advantage over the exhibition of which it is but, an echo. It annuls such blunders or injustice of hang- ing as are inseparable, it appears, from every great exhibition, however well conducted, and sets before the public, with equal courtesy of respectful intro- duction, every work with which it deals. Whether or not the original be "skied" on the walls of the Aca- demy, the reader has here no greater difficulty in judging of its merits than of the favoured canvas on the line, while the size of the pictures printed under each reproduction enables him to make a fairly accurate estimate of its relative importance. This is the ad- vantage which we must set against the natural draw- back involved in the inevitable sacrifice of colour. Photography is the great leveller of art, sweeping a concealing hand impartially over merits and defect's: and a work such as this may fairly claim to be, in some sort, a mirror of the year's art, not only serving as a record, but possessing, it is claimed, artistic merit beyond what it has hitherto possessed.

The sculptural works— at least the finest of them— may not be the most elaborate, such as are produced in France and Belgium; but the spectator must bear in mind what is so often forgotten, that whether in painting or in sculpture, as in literature, it is more difficult to transform a single figure into a fully-expressive work of art than to fashion a group which, by its complication, oilers adventitious opportunities to the artist to produce an effect.

It is, perhaps, impossible to assert that any young man's name, hitherto unknown, has this year sprung suddenly into the light; but what is of far greater and more encouraging significance is that a number already favourably known— such, for example, as Mr. Hugh Riviere— have given evidence of effective advance in their art. This is the really striking and gratifying note of the exhibition of | .vis— this is the hope that is being brightly realised by the expiring century.
