A NHWGALLERY OF AMERICAN PAINTINGS

1t has long been a difficult matter for our
artists to bring their pictures before the public save at
the regular exhibitions. When there have been e1pi-
tons the pictures gone back TO the studios there 10
remain unseen except by the owners end lew irenus
for the custom Of visiting has fallen greatly INTO
decadence among picture buyers, The galleries OF tne
large dealers with exceptions contain almost e1c
svey foreign pictures 1t appears therefore that real
want has been met in very pleasant way by Mrs san
ford r. Clifford who has opened an attractive room de-
voted to the exhibition and sale of American pictures
at the Sherwood Studio Building, si1th-ave. ana
Ffty-sevenh-st Mrs Clifford states that the coec-
ton Is and will be composed of pictures just from the
studios and will be exhibited from 10 a. m. TO p. H. "
Among the paintings aude to six or eight PIC
lures and studies by the late Sanford R. Clifford. whose
works are nov difficult Of attainment. There are here
also two Venetian marines by W. Gedney Bunce How
er niece by j. Alden Weir and paintings by X. W. Van
