HARRIET HosAER, WINNIE REAN. AND THE
NEW YoRK TiIBUSK.-Hsrriet Hosmer, the
sculptor, OF whom all Americans are proud
both for her genius and her nobility of charac-
ter, writes q letter from Rome TO the New York
Tribune, defen ding her sister SCULPTOR, Winnie
Resm, from the charge made in the Tribune
that Miss Ream did not do the work OF the Lin
coin statue, but employed skillful workmen to
do it. Miss Hosmer says:
81 knew Miss Ream personally when in
Rome, and lift up NV voice in her defence. [
believe her TO be conscientious and hard
working artist, and as much entitled to the
credit or her worL a. any artist know. All
artists expect their works to be criticised but
we women artists will not hear that we are i'm
posters without asking for proofs.
" This style of attack - she saws Z" has not the
merit OF novelty or originality. Miss Ream is
accused OF not doing her own work; but the
world has been frequently told that few women
do their own work. l am remarkably familiar
with that forH OF accusation, having heard II
OF myself for years; but when, upon one occg-
SION, Ii appeared in print, invited the author
OF the article, through my lawyer, TO prove the
truth OF his assertion or Apologize. He apollo
gized, and my impression is that If Miss Ream
were 10 face her sccuser he would disappear in
the same manner
In conclusion, Miss Hosmer brands all such
accusations rs Sunjust, ungensrous and CON
temptble." This spirited reply in behalf of
women artists would seem direct enough TO
sitcnCc S6lnOun-cEque OI the ITIbdfe,
who have undertaken to write Miss Ream down;
but that paper, which first alleged that the
statue b sd merits because il was executed nv
skilled workmen," now falls back upon the
charge that II is q very bad statue. and that no
artist will undertake To say word in its behalf
But il so happens that artists of the stand
ing of Healy, Hart, Kellogg, BIerstadt:
and Msjoli, Anotonio Rosetti, and Tadolini,
the three foremost Italian scnlptors have given
decided praise to the Ream Lincoln. The
critical opinions OF several OF these rtists AZ
call fflt n art tnnr
favorable to the statue have been widely pub
hshed. and the Tribune must certainly have
seen them, but has not the fairness 20 coneeds
il This style of warfare upon a hard w1rkIny
artist, struggling for success in her profession
and Tor the support Of those dependent upon
her If rather small business Tor a big Journal.
