ON THE SUBJECT.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir At the first meeting o, the salon project there
were several gentlemen Of the Fine Arts society
present. They made 10 objection 70 the proposed re-
Prospective conemporaneous art exhibition. which
was put down for the spring Of 1192. since that
meeting the Fine Arts Society and the Academy OF
Design have awakened TO the fact that they were TO
nave retrospective and contemporaneols exhibitions the
same spring. This is not exactly what the gentle
Wen Interested in the broader idea intended; but 20
their credit, they recognize that even two separate
retrospective ard cOntempOianeous exhibitions are
better than mono at ALL Perhaps it Is better that the
broad movement should begin In this manner. How
ever. had it not been for the energy dignity ana
breadth Of Mr. Glider the dead atmosphere Of art would
have remained undisturbed and our centennial year
would have no milestone to mark step forward
The meeting of the Society Of American Artists.
which was said to have crushed the project, was not
called together for that purpose. The society is too
broad for that 1t aimed simply to protect Itself, as
the president of Fine Arts society wished TO have
the exhibition In the spring Of ls99-when the
building will be hnished-,O 60 out to the pup
Tic as the Fine Arts Society exhibition. Mr..
Cox objected to this, and Mr.. Elwe seconded ms
notion to have the exhibition conen. ,oraneouS one
OF works by members Of the Society Of American
Atists. 1t Is evident from this that the Fine Arts
society has Fixed desire TO preserve the Identity
Of the Society of American Artists. and even to pro-
pose Fine Arts society exhibition for the first would
establish dangerous precedent. Therefore Mr. Elweil
was willing to abandon the broad idea OF general
exhibition to protect I've Society Of American Artists
from danger hardly felt at present by It's members
There IS question In the public mind that the
Society Of American Artists represents the foremost
movement in our American art. and any project for
great exhibition must bave It's hearty cooperation, or
must uttely fail should the salon Committee decide
to have great exhibition in 119t the Society OF Amer
