= VoL. XXX HE COSMOPOLITAN. From every man according to his ability: to every one according to his needs. FEBRUARY, Igo! No. 4. THE MINIATOR’S ART. By CHARLES DE KAy HILE the other branches of the fine arts have their ups and downs, while the popularity of sculpture, anec- dote pictures, landscape and seascape waxes and wanes, the portrait is always there as a refuge for the artist. A thousand forms of the arts and crafts ought by good rights to claim the ry sorvines of the artist, in 3 order that we should sur- round and decorate our bodies with beautiful things, house ourselves beautifully, and have in our work- shops, school- rooms and homes only objects which have engaged the highest artistic powers of their designers and makers. But machine- made goods, and objects wrought by men and women whose proper emblem should be a spade, a spindle, or any tool fitted for the Painted by Fredrika Weidner. which in our wisdom we have confined them, a bare and formal garden in which few plants grow, generally hedged in be- tween four unbending lines which are the frame, or sometimes, as a rather bold de- parture, a circle or an oval. The portrait-painter must also bow to other rules and regulations. g No imagina- tive flight, for “fo instance, in the ae way of robes, ’ gown, dress, arrangement of the hair. That would never do!

Forced ee our fate throughout the cent- ury that is past. No wonder art has languished ; no wonder portraiture is often the only field in which the painter can make his bread and yet pre- serve for himself a little self- respect as an artist. He can reckon, at any rate, on the desire of a number of fellow- citizens to have themselves limned for the benefit of pos- terity, and of a certain other number to own the portraits of those they love or admire. It is a narrow garden to Copyright, 1900, Painted by Carl Weidner. by COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE COMPANY. by the machine taste of the machine-housed, machine- clothed and machine-deco- lated sitter to adhere to the least varied and_ eventful backgrounds, frames, poses and garb, the portrait-painter has been known, when suffi- ciently resourceful, to pluck success from his limitations and give such animation and vivid intellectuality to the features of his sitter that the portrait bears the stamp of greatness. But how few are they—taking the whole world
