ResumoThat most Spanish painter Ignacio Zuloaga is of a type rare among artists, the independent reactionary who, turning against both the security of the schools and the bewildering freedom of the moderns, yet realizes completely his own artistic aims and attains success judged by every measure which he himself can apply.1 His reputation is international, but in America, particularly, public approval has been generously bestowed, and his works have found a place in prominent collections. The characteristics of his work are sufficiently obvious (although some of his qualities are not those which are commonly supposed to find a response in the aesthetic consciousness of the United States), and the receptivity of this country to Hispanic influences, an affinity for an especially exotic tradition, more profound than a mere vogue or fashion, is a circumstance that in itself makes Zuloaga deserving of study.
