TAKING NEW YORK'S S PLACE.
Iwould like to devote a chapter to the
Marie Bashkirtseffs Of Washington, young
women with great talent and consuming
ambition, wholly absorbed in art, morbid
and despairing because they cannot re-
produce on canvas the magnificent creatures
of their Imagination. But 1 must be con-
tent with having merely suggested the vast
amount of art work accomplished here in the
studios, the Corcoran school and the Art
League and the recognition here and else
where of Washington artists. The art
spirit, the aesthetical enthusiasm, localized,
individualized and distinctive, is rapidly
growing. The artists are independent and
progressive. They are coming closer together
and reaching out obtrusively to wrest from
New York its position as the arbiter of the
name and fortunes to a great extent of the
artists OF the country.
A few years more and the chief exhibit
tons of American artists will be held in
Washington, where they ought to be, and it
will be found that when once the art spirit
is awakened the capital will not only
possess the most critical but the most lucra-
tive patronage, for here congregate Tor the
major part OF the year, the largest number
OF those who will naturally become the
readiest and most liberal buyers of art
works. E. W. L.
