. John La Farge, a memoir and a study . port: His work cannot be fully gauged here, where a single window represents a name themost celebrated and widely known in ourSister Republic. He is the great innovator, the inventor of opaline glass. He has createdin all its details an art unknown before, an en-tirely new industry, and in a country withouttradition he will begin one followed by thou-sands of pupils filled with the same respectfor him that we have ourselves for our ownmasters. To share in this respect is the high-est praise that we can give to this great artist. I think that La Farge valued these wordsand his affiliation to the Legion of Honor abovealmost any of the numerous other rewardsthat his career had brought him. In the firstplace, while the point has nothing to do withthe action of the jury, there was in the episodean unspoken recognition of a tie of blood; heliked to feel that officially, in a sense, he wasnow a Frenchman, too; and then, of course, it was consoling to have his fruitful labors as The Peacock Wind. C 185 ] a pioneer thus ratified before the world at thevery focus of the worlds artistic endeavors.There was something magisterial about hisattitude toward glass, like that of the founderof a great movement in the sphere of purelypractical things, or even like that of a com-mander who had won crucial battles andwas thereafter in a position to assert himself.Self-assertion was, to be sure, abhorrent toLa Farges nature, but when he spoke on glasshe spoke ex cathedra — and he knew it. Hespoke and he wrote with some copiousness onthe subject and I might proceed at once tocite passages in which he gathered up thethreads of experience, but not all of his formalcommunications had the charm of his intimatespeech and accordingly I tell the story of hisbeginnings in glass very much as he told itto me. They flowed, he said, from very practicalcauses. Sometime in the seventies, when hewas just back from England, he found that hecould not sell his pictures
