PAINTINGS At THE AMERICAN CALLER.
les


1t has been proved that exhibition OF Amert
aintinss Is possible in the autumn, and 1t
evident that dicri nnation in selection does in
vove a falling OF In sales. Boin points have been
demonstrated By tne autumn exhibition at the Ame
Art Galleries and the lesson should DO applied else
where. 1t Is pleas ant to know that the Academy
reaction has set in against the ridiculous custom Of
accepting all OF ODDS ends either from mis-
placed benevolence account OF possible salabe
qualities We repeat that American artists SHOULD aim
the best class OF amateurs aud H. only by
forming co econs good throughout and mpressive
whole that they insprs respect for and confidence
home 70 Is fortunate for our artists that have
had this exhibition not that at the Academy alone
to represent their work.
The general features Of the exhibition and Its salient
points like paintings of MessIs Howe, Dennan and
Chambers already received attention, but before
the galleries closed something may be said OF other
work without attempting to exhaust The list Of rredit
able achievements. PantnIs from the Saloa are
always interesting they represent immediate
contact with the influences which felt In OF
current bdtt does mol follow That these pictures
illustrate the host work OF artists Tho men VINO
