New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1891-10-04


over a month at the Pennsylvania Academy
Of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. beginning october 10.
This collection exhibited here IN 1888. when II
numbered 40 paintings but has not been seen publicly
since then In the interim sixty pictures have been
added Several Of the foremost artists Of America are
represented with unusual completeness. Twelve land
scspes by George Inness show the development OF ms
style from 1853 up TO the present year. I"eNe
paintings by Wnslow Homer, OF various SUBJECTS oner
a similarly comprehensive survey Of his life work.
The collection includes example at least Oh every
important American artist.
At the wunderlch gallery exhibition Of eighteenth
century colored engravings Is being prepared ior te
latter part Of the month Some two hundred specimens
will be gathered together fully illustrating minor
bat very charming art. The stlppe engravings of
BartOlozh, Tomkins, Ogborne Ryland, Bourke ana
schiavonet were beautiful In themselves Their beauty
reinforced when the art of cooring the plates
was brought to perfection. The method OF colorlng
called for endless patience as one printing exhausted
the tnts on the plate but this had its advantages,
the renkng for each proof nsurng perfect freshness
| Sometimes printer would color his plate for only
one trial and stop there whether the results
were satisfactory or not Thus single proofs OF some
plates exist which would be impossible to duplicate
The WunderHch exhibition will bring forward quite
group of rarites. Reynolds Romney, Gains
borough and Hoppner frequently engraved by
Bartolozzi and his colleagues but the most popular
painters for tlds peculiar kind Of reproduction were
Cipriani aud Angelica Kaufman. These two will
furnish large proportion OF the plates for the forth
coming exhibition.
Most Of Mr. p. S. Avery's summer purchases were
made in France. Among them is spring farm scene
by Defaux, painted apparently in the studio, for the
sky is dull The picture is composed with typical
French cleverness, showing pond divided from the
foreground by a strip OF green with farm buildings
stretching across The beyond and on the right
The color scheme is unremarkable save for Two vllq
