The influence of the tendency " up-town" in New
York is extending in art circles. The upper portion
of the new building corner of Broadway andTwenty-
eighth-street is fitted up for studios, and will shortly
be occupied by Messrs. Kennett, Lang, and Baker'
In the Museum, corner of Thirtieth-street, artists
are making arrangements for the winter. On the
south-west corner of Fifth Avenue and Fourteenth'
street a large and well-lighted gallery for the ea"
hibition of pictures will shortly be opened by Messrs"
Skinner and Somerville. In the upper storey °'
this building numerous artists are already estab-
lished in studios of moderate size, well adapted for
those who do not measure off their canvas by the
acre. Here Granville Perkins has set up his enSei";
convinced that New York is nearer the centre 0'
art, than Jersey city. His last painting of South
American scenery is not nearly completed, and he
has decided not to send it to the Paris Exposition:t
for which it was originally intended, but to pain it
leisurely and in his best manner. Batman, an
artist who spent several years in California and
in
other parts of the Pacific coast has also established
himself in this building. Mr. Butman has in b.'
studio a great number of sketches of the mountain
and seaboard scenery of the spots he visited.
is now at work on a large illustration of the scenery
of Oregon—the snow-capped Mount Hood, a 01,1-
spicuous object in the distance. Mr. J. F. Fifth,
a Hartford artist, has also ensconced himself here. h
Mr. Fitch passed three years in Germany, where
of
was the pupil of Zimmerman. He spent most, -b.
the past summer in the Adirondacks, from wilful
he brought back a mass of materials in eaTe•
studies of the grand mountains and stony broogio,
Of
S. Colman is at work upon a large picture of litla,
