E D '-.E R THE READER By J. J. Henner THE painting is not one of Henner's best known works, However, it has qualities which, in a collection of pictures, make it stand out as individual. The History of Art Class of l93l, in choosing a favorite painting, chose The Reader, knowing nothing of the artist's ability. It has an interesting spotting of light and dark: only the essentials are used and minor details avoided, all of which tends toward the making of an excellent composition. The girl may have been an individual known by the painter, yet she is a fine symbol of girlhood. Absolute concentration and deep interest in a serious episode in the book are revealed on the sweet face. Jean Jacques Henner, H829-19055, son of a peasant, was a French painter. He studied at Altkirch and in 1846 he entered Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In l855 he returned to Bernweiler lAlsacej, his native place, for two years to paint portraits, a collection of which is in the museum at Altkirch. Later he joined the studio of Picot in Paris and took the Prix de Rome 118585 with a painting of Adam and Eve finding the Body of Abel. He first exhibited at Salon in l863, 'ABather Asleep, and sub- sequently contributed more or less regularly until 1903. He died in Paris on July 23, 1905. The artist is best known for his paintings of nude figures posed in ideal landscapes. He also painted a number of portraits. There is a self portrait in the Umzi at Florence. In l924 the Henner museum, comprising about two hundred paintings, drawings, and lithographs bequeathed by the artist's nephew, was inaugurated in the Avenue de Villiers in Paris. CAROLYN PAY. T941
