I I PAINTINGS BY JONAS LIE. AINSLIE GALLERIES, 677 FIFTH AVENUE APRIL SECOND TO FOURTEEN, 1923 MAIDENS OF THE FOREST University of Nebraska-Lincoln ~Libraries JONAS LIE- AN INTERPRETATION By Christian Brinton Colour is the chief medium through which we attain pictorial expression, but colour must be suggestive and interpretative, not imitative. In order to achieve enduring work the actual, visual impression we receive from nature should be even less forceful, less vivid, than the accompanying mental impression. PHRASED with that clarity and concision which characterize his comments upon any given subject, the foregoing expresses Jonas Lie's attitude toward art, and in particular toward the specific practice of his profession. He frankly proclaims himself a realist, with leanings toward free pictorial impressionism, and it is from direct contact with nature that his chief stimulus derives. Nature affords the starting point, but to each theme the painter brings a personal content which supplements and transforms the material at hand.
