Mr.. w. 3. HARTE, in the NeaU England
Magazine, has struck a chord that needed
the courageous hand of some one. He
has the courage to assail the fad that the
spasmodic purchasing of pictures at sur
prising prices encourages legitimate art.
1t only tends, he declares, to unsettle the
true ideals of art, and open avenues of
success for bastard art, made fashion,
able by adventitious means. That is to
say, as we understand Mr.. Harte, it is a
commercial phase that really does injury
to art tastes, and subordinates and belit-
ties art effort except it is made by one
whose name and fame give his signature
upon a picture special importance and
certainty of value. The works of such
have a market value it is true, and by
that standard they are purchased by a
class who are unable to appreciate any
other. A few purchase such pictures for
their artistic merit, but the commercial
buyers are largely in the majority. The
legitimate encouragement of art is that
which recognizes and lifts up merit that
has not yet become famous. Such en-
couragement discovers genius; it labors
to cultivate taste broadly for the works
of worth. Its disciples buy pictures with
some risk involved of not getting works
of high merit, but they have the satisfac-
tioD of knowing that thew ara AIDING de-
veloping genius.
