taste.
The foreign paintings in this collection present q
strong contrast 70 the foregoing In careful study,
appreciation Of the great principles OF art and exc
cution. Among only TOO many OF our own artists
there s an apparent neglect of the realization Of the
importance Of the higher rules and principles OF art
very perceptibe In their PRODUCTIONS One OF the
great detects noticeable among US ls superncality
as people or arSts. Nothing, even inspiration,
can take the place or patient and careful study.
