The Ladies' home journal . in idirection few of our painters have thought to explore. Glackens himself waiguided to that seductive region by the French impressionists. When he returned to America in 1896 after a year and a half in Paris, it must have occurred to him that a New York restaurant could be as joyous a subject for ipainting as the bar of the Folies-Bergere, which Manet had made famous decades earlier. Certainly the cellar, the bouillabaisse, the snails a 1;Parisienne at Chez Mouqin on 28th Street and 6th Avenue were as good aanything in France, and people seemed to enjoy themselves with the samizest, the same animal appetites they showed abroad. Realizing this, Glackenin 1905 painted a convivial double portrait of his friend, Jim Moore, and ;professional model, with a pagan gaiety he had learned in Paris, but, also, witla sense for specific detail, which he had been taught as an illustrator for thleading papers of Philadelphia and New York.
