Buffalo Bills Indians and ponies for q
large painting.
Mrs. Clara Keefe, the sister Of Helen
Dauvray-Ward, is claiming attention as
a sculptor. A statue of a "Newsboy" by
her is to be placed near the postoffice in
Chicago. The model was made in Rome.
The boy is represented as leaning against
a hydrant with bundle of newspapers
in his hand.
Caran d'Ache, the prince of Partisan
caricaturists, is man of 81 years of age,
tall, fair, of military bearing, and decid.
eddy English in appearance. His real
name is Emmanuel Poirie, and his sig.
nature is simply transportation of caran-
dache, the Russian word for pencil.
Another French artist. the well-known
oriental painter, Gustave Guillaumet, il
to be honored with statue. The work
will take the form of an allegorical figure,
personifying Algeria. This is a woman
draped in her kaik. Over the medallion

1t is said that the American artists who
exhibit works at Munich this year would
make up large group by themselves.
Their pictures are not only scattered on
the walls of the Crystal Palace, but their
names ALEC appear in German or are fol-
lowed on the catalogue by the name OF
come foreign city, so that there is abso-
lutely nothing to inform the uninitiated
of their nationality.
When the story of the $3.50, 900 franc
price paid for the 'Angulus" reached
Berlin, someone set in motion tale that
the German court painter, Anton Wer-
ner, had been paid 100000 marks Tor
painting the royal family. But the
painter at once sent note around to all
the journals begging them to contradict
the statement, and offering to prove from
his books that he had not received the
twentieth part of such an immense sum.
The German royalties are not famous for
paying large sums to artists and literary
men, although they very much like to
employ them.
F. s. church has posed on large
scale another of his peculiar fancies in
paint, embIematical of the fog. A troop
of weird sisters come onward from the
sea, led by lymph on stallion, whose
powerful frame mingles with the foam OF
the breakers. The nymph's face is made
out we'll her figure is almost as definite,
and the head of the charger is also
painted with comparative clearness. Her
followers, clothed TO their mouths in
flowing white draperies, are gradually
lost in the fog to seaward. F. H. King
will engrave the picture for "Harper's
Bazar."
The zenith OF realism has been at.
tanned by an artist in Munich. His am
bition was to paint cherubim, but though
it was easy enough to.paint pair of wings
to naked child, to suspend it in an Of
fective manner in mid-air-the natural
pose of cherubim-was q different mat
ter. He tried them sitting, standing and
lying; but his realistic soul was vexed-
they didn't look like the real thing. At
last happy inspiration occurred to him,
and he employed q farmer and his wife
to toss their wing-decked infant in a
blanket while he took series of instan-
tsneous photographs. From these he lie
said to have obtained most satisfactory
results.
According to the London Globe: "The
'Angelus' the other day left Paris in a
blaze of glory. 1t was lined with red
satin and laid in beautiful black box,
bound with iron, which was in turn in
closed in another-stronger but no less
beautiful. In deep silence the picture
was then handed over to the representa-
tive of the American Art Association,
by whom it will be unpacked and ex.
hibited, as conveyances permit, to the
wondering eyes Of the inhabitants OF
European capitals. That being accom-.
plished the representative of the Art
Association will escort it back to the City
of New York.
