Art NOTES.

tocattou mere Oh Ar. ROBERT hincki0y, q
most promising young painter from Massa-
chusetts, who has spent several years In the
study OF his profession In Paris under some of
the best masters In that great art center. He
has taken the old school building at the cor
new Of G and 18th streets, and by the addi-
ton of a large ekylight has converted that
rather unsttractive building into what may
without reflection upon others be termed the
finest and best equipped room of its kind to
be found in the city. IL is large, well lighted,
and literally filled with sketches, tapestry,
objects OF art, and brio q brsc, which go so far
toward furnishing and giving a proper at
mosphere to studio. Mr.. Hinckley was for
number OF years a student under Carolus.
Duran, who will be remembered by visitors
TO the Centennial exposition as the artist
wno painted the large and magnificent
equestrian portrait OF Mile. Crolzette, which
hangs In the main French gallery in Memo
rial Hall. Mr.. Hinckley has not done much
since be has been here that would enable one
TO judge accurately of his quality, but the
sketches and unfinished work which ne
brought with him are marked by unusual
freedom, breadth aud strength, and show
him 10 be worthy pupil OF his famous mas
ter. He expects to give most Of his time to
portraits and figures and We feel confident
that IN these specialties at least ne will
make his mark.
Rowzee made his summer vacation avail
borders OF Maryland and Virginia, aud
brought home his portfolio well filled with
sketches taken among the beautiful scenery
to be found In the little valleys which
abound in that quarter. These he has al
ready turned to good account, Is any one
may see by visiting Bariows, where a num-
Der OF finished pieces are on view. They are
all singularly graceful In drawing and rich
In color, ss they are also admirably chosen
with regard TO pleasing effects. In the latter

ished would be hard TO excel. Mr.. Rowzee
expects soon TO reproduce ON canvas q sketch
he has recently made Of the charming Cap
and which can hardly fail to be one of his
most beautiful and popular efforts.

Mr.. Fisher spent the larger part OF the
summer In East Tennessee, where he made
q number Of sketches illustrating both the
scenery ana the people Of that wild and Sc
Guided region. Although not familiar with
the peculiarities of that locality. we Judge
10 Dature, che acteIised as they are by re-
msrkably pure color and clear atmospheric
effects.
M. Walter Paris, the favorite water color
artist, returned to Washington In the early
part Of the week, after a summer visit to his
home in England. A considerable portion
OF his vacation was spent among the Chan
mel Islands, and he brought back with him
q large number OF studies and sketches, to-
gether with several finished pictures. illus-
trat1ng the peculiarly picturesque scenery
OF those attractive localities. Mr.. Paris has
been encouraged 10 locate in Boston for the
winter, If not permanently, and will 60 there
early next week In connection with this pro-
ject, but we trust he may yet find sufficient
Inducements to lead him to finally settle in
Washington. He Ia q valuable acquisition
10 the society of the capital, alike In art
and musical circles, and those who are IA
milisr with his dual accomplishments would
part with him regret.

Mr.. Ross Turner mas per feet ed arrange
ments to spend an Indefinite term in Z Irope
in the prosecution Of art study and prsctics.
and In pursuance of that object sails from
New York for Liverpool to day. He expects
to spend more or less time In all the princi-
pal art centers In Europa, but most OF 1t in
the city Of Munich Mr.. Turner takes with
him the good wishes of a large circle OF
friends, who not only hope for him pleas
ant and profitable sojourn abroad, but also
predict Tor him brilliant future as an
artist.
Mr.. William Carr Brown, whose portraits
painted last winter attracted SO much favor
able notice from citizens as well as strangers,
has gone to Columbus TO paint a portrait OF
Governor Hayes. Later in the season he
expects to visit New York for the purpose of
painting likeness OF Governor Tilden. II
be succeeds with these as we'll as he did with
those Of Senators Ransom and Bayard, 1t is
safe to say that the two rival Presidential
candidates will appear 1t their very best.

After be returns from Philadelphia he will
go back to the eighbOrhOOd Of POOlesvilie,

bis studio here until well along into De-
cember.
