ART MATTERS.

There h considerable stir Just now In the art
galleries, as the consignments OF paintings destined
for the Autumn trade are rapidly arriving As fast
as the packing cases can be opened the art treas
ures are passed into skilful hands to be prepared
for exhibition. All the tricks and mysteries OF the
Dealers art being put into requisttion to place
the many gems OF painting under the public eye In
all their briliancy. So far as can be judged from
the furtve glances which the favored critic is al
lowed into the secret places Of the dealers store
the season upon which we are entering
promises to be one OF the most brilliant we have
yet seen In America. Encouraged oy the interest
taken In art the public last year the dealers have
made heavy ventures in the better class OF pictures
and the result will be seen in the unusual value OF
the exhibitions and sales that are in contempla-
tion.
sCHAUs' GALLERY.
Only few OF the purchases made In Europe by the
head OF this establishment have yet come to hand,
but those few are full OF interest and promise. We
have an interior by Denotier, with figure by Bang
MET, which is remarkably strong In color, and as
piece OF skilfnl manipulation is worthy OF the high
est PRAISE 1t has, however,
THE VICE OF ITS SCHOOL.
Two farm yard subjects by Lanee have more attrac.
tions tor us. Here the color is strong and
brilliant, and the ducks and goslings have
verbockhoeven reminds us Of quite number Of
other works by the same artist A group OF sheep
on bit OF landscape with the sea behind. Here
we have skilful drawing, knowledge OF form
and power OF texture painting; but, then, we tire
even OF good thing when we see IL too often. II Is
refreshing to turn to small landscape by Lambi-
net and inhale some OF the fresh air he knows how
to introduce into his pictures, or look at ma
rtne by Moran, where we can catch the smell Of the
briny deep without any great enort OF imagination
GOUPIL's
Here the works succeed each other so rapidly
that they seem to absolutely chase each other from
the walls. One has scarcely mad time to
form an affection for . picture, as cynical
some ogre worth million or two. This serious
drawback to the critlcs enjoyment has however
the advantage OF supplying that Unsuitable mon
ster-the public-wtth novelties, and hence the gal
lery is popular Among the late additions 'Spring-
time +" by Beyschag, win attract attention. 1t has
all the
CHARM OF SENTIMENT
and refinement Of feeling combined with pic
tOral sense, which distinguish the works Of this
artist. Hasceer, Belgian artist, sends an arti-
ncial light study In the manner OF Van Schendel,
but though there Is much ability displayed in the
technical handling, there is want OF subtilty in
the treatment, which
vULGARIZRs THE EFFECTS.
"The Pilgrims" work OF the Belgian pre-
Raphaeite school, presents some OF the best
features Of the old painters, with the correcter
drawing Of modern times. There Is simplicity
and directness In the work quite charming, but
the amount Of detail will no doubt prevent Baron
Legs having many imtators among the latter-day
artists There are works by Gerard, Paulsen, &C.,
space. We must, however, call attention to de-
lghtful painting, "A Moorish Interior" by Tapr0,
In which the utmost deicacy Of the color has been
attained.
