Dudley Crafts \Vatson gave an admirable explanation of the foundations of the "Art Moderne" movement among the Slavic people. In the lecture given Monday night at Winnetka Community House, under the auspices of the North Shore Art league, Mr. Watson spoke first on the Slavic influence on the theater. "The Love of Three Or_ anges." a production of the Moscow Art theater directors, was given here for a week, some years ago. The costumes and settings were designed by a Russian, the w9rds and music were Slavic, and the gestures · of the opera company were rehearesd under the direction of a Moscow Art theater man . . Mr. Wat-· son stated that it was a stupendous production, though Chicago was not yet ready for it ·and one leading citize'l claimed it should be called "The Love of Three Lemons." The Slavic people were steeped in the .environment of fuedalism, ruggefl country, rushing waters, and ponderous cities. Their natural tendencie s were overlaid with the French and German influences until · they were made a distinct " peoples. · Commends Artists In speaking of Slav artists, Mr. Watson especially commended Leon Gaspard for his virility of pattern and vigorous design, and Boris Anisfeldt for his distinctive settings and co stumes. . The Slav artists go to the old St. Petersburg to study, though Prague is one of the liveliest capitals in Rus sia today. Poland is the slO\vest to tal.:c on her new opportunities, being an entirely inland country, though Poland is slowly awakening. The moderni st ic movement is the expression of the life of a suddenly freed people, the Slav is the strongest unit in the white rae~. according to Mr. Watson. In Prague alone are four or five examples of a rococo style of ornamentation to be found. The rest is strongly Byzantine in feeling. In Moscow ithe climax of the Byzantine influence. In costume, landscape, architecture. and interior decoration is expressed this influence. The early artists were afflicted with a desire to be European, according to Mr. Watson. They worked only in mosaiCs and marble after the Greek orthodox manner, most of the work being half life-size, in low relief. The mural icons were mosaics, rarely ' painted. "Symphonies" Unintelligible Of the pictures shown, several obviously pleased or displeased the audience. · The symphonies of sound reproduced on canvass were unintelligible to lecturer and audience alike. Some specimens of modern sculpture. the lingo of which includes phrases about broken spaces, are just "obviously space displacement," said Mr. Watson. Again, subjects treated in the new manner were as obviously pleasing to the audience. Contrasted with the realistic school, the naive simplicity of the modernistic had a depth to it. rather than a photographic quality. The piquant flavor of the sharp poster colors arrests the eye, though, as. Mr. Watson stated, the rest spaces to a modernistic painting or room were all too infrequent. One of the most interesting bits of sculpture shown was models intended to be carved in ivory or cast in silver for ornamentation of the grand piano.
