AMERICAN PAINTERS WORK.

The Summer Exhibition at the American
Art Gallery In New and Its Advsntages-
A Fine Display Of Notable Though IN
ambitious Work of American Artists
Some Of the Notable Pictures
NEW YORK. Special Correspondence, June
13.-The summer exhibition Of works by
American artists, now open at the American
Art gallery in Twenty third street, dis want
long felt among our painters. The opportuni-
ties of exhibiting pictures confessedly for
purposes Of sale are entirely out Of proportion
to the large number Of works produced every
year in the New York studios, and each new
exhibition Of original work should be regarded
as means Of widening the channel Of COM
munlcation between the producing artists and
the consuming public or picture buyer.
Then, again, at the close of the
been sent in to the important spring e1hi-
billions, almost all artists succeed in finishing
another picture, less ambitious, probably, than
their Academy" or "American artist work,
before they leave town for the summer sketch
ing trip. 1t is no small advantage for them to
send these demi-saison works to an exhibition
where they will be seen, and perhaps sold. Al
though New York picture buyers arc not apt
to be in town during the summer, the city is,
at this season. full of wealthy Western and
Southern visitors, whose interest in art is con-
stantly on the increase; and who. il they buy
pictures at all. prefer buying them in New
York, rather than in any OF the provincial and
local exhibitions.
The present collection consists Of $50 works.
small proportion of which have been seen be-
foro in other recent exhibitions, and few Of
them we're among those rejected by the jury
Of the Munich exhibition. Most Of the wo rks
are small and unambitious, but good. One of
the most important pictures is F. A. Bridg-
mans La Plantation du Cola, exhibited some
time ago at the Academy. It shows French
field of oolzs planted in burrows on slope Of
land with figures of peasants and horses. It
is in an entirely different vein from that
usually worked by this artist whose
name is generally identified with
Eastern interiors and heads, painted in
the manner Of Gerome; and to my thinking he
Is seen to much better advantage in this nat
ural, honest, vigorous representation Of prole-
tartan life, than in his over colored and over
finished harem scenes. The tono and effects
Of light in the Plantation are particularly good.
Tho figures, both Of tho peasants and the
horses, are firmly drawn, strongly modelled
and full of nerve, The work, as whole, pos
sesses qualities Of artistic consoientiousness
and truthfulness which give it more than Or
binary value.
