ZULOAGA AND THE NATIONAL NOTE IN.SPANISH ART: BY CHRISTIAN BRINTONESPITE the fact that their art, and even their verynames, were practical1public until recently, t z unknown to the Americanere should be little difficultym accounting for the vogue in thrs country of the twoSpanish B ainters, Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida andIgnacio uloaga, whose pictures have lately beenexhibited with such unparalleled success in New

York and elsewhere under the auspices of the Hispanic Society ofAmerica. It is clearly something moreinterest which has attracted to the work oP otent than mere aestheticthese men so many ardentchampions both here and abroad, and the secret of this enthusiasmun uestionably lies in the strong racial accent which is manifestBn t eir every brush stroke. Although radically different in conce -tion and execution, the art of each 1s e ually national and etypical of that rich and luminous land, t% Pe true spirit of whit%ual yhasso long been falsified by her foreign trained painters. Yet withinthe last decade or so matters have been changing rapidly in thiscountry which seemed for the time being given over to indifferenceor somnolent passivity. In every department of human activitythere has been a magic reawakenin of the antique energy of theSpanish race, and art has been quita to respond to this call of re-juvenation. With the rise of the present nationalist movement mcontemporary Peninsular painting, at the head of which proudlystand Sorolla and Zuloaga, the world of art has for the first time sincethe death of Goya been permitted to gaze upon Spain as she reallyis. For generations everything was done to disguise the true Spain, tocheat the people into believing she was something entirely different,and the greatest of these offenders was none other than the giftedand facile Mariano Fortuny, whose glittering and meretricious bric-a-brat was actual1 French in its essence and origin. Thanks toFortuny and his folFowers, Spanish art for a full quarter of a centurywas condemned to wear a falsely seductive mask instead of beingpermitted to reveal her own severe or smiling countenance. Thingscould not, however, go on thus forever and fortunately this shallow131
