ART EXHIBIT.
Potthast's Sunset - Points About Gruelle's
Water Colors-Truth to Nature.

The art EXHIBIT closes next Thursday.
Notwithstanding the extremely bad wealth
er for q week past the receipts, on the
whole. will exceed those of last year. and,
it is thought. Will pay the expenses of the
exhibition. If this is accomplished it will
revive art enthusiasm in this city as we'll
as refresh the finances of the patrons
OF the association. This was never
dreamed of by those who put the
project first on loot. In regard to
the pictures selected for purchase by
the association. considerable comment has
already been aroused. principally. however.
by the one of Edward Potthast. in oil. with
an cratic effort to describe sunset some-
where upon q compact back ground of
mOnOtonous Ouch cottages. The picture
was recommended, it is said by Mr. For
sytb. for hat no one Is exactly certain.
The price, Sl25. is no doubt cheap enough
If the association has that much money
they care to spend for that kind of pic
ture. There seems to be in it an entire ab-
sence OF sub ect-matter worthy of the effort
1t required to throw 1t together. The fore
ground is shrouded In a blush shad-
Ow which contains ell the sunset
there is in the picture; these little Dutch
houses In the distance are at the top of q
collection of virulent green's. into which is
spilled some trlcklsh reds that would set
all ordinary PERSONS teeth on edge. The
association may not take IL. AS this sunset
mania is to painting what the spring verse
is to poetry, the author of the piece de-
serves some commiseration, If not praise,
for the effort. Mr.. Forsyth's picture,
Autumn at Vernon is a fine piece of col
oring containing Ill it The soul of the sea-
son distracted.
Ii is worth any body's while who loves
pictures to stop and study the work of r.
b. GruelIe, u sample of which is upon the
wall at the exhibit Mr.. Gruelle im presses
one at once through his pictures. with an
idea of refined, sympathetic and artistic
honesty which will not so far depart from
the trnth of the study. as to present an In
congruity of color. 1t would seem that Mr..
Gruelie followed nature closely and trusted
TO that reliable mother for the tone Of bis
pictures. This does not imply that
this artist is lacking in ideals for
indeed his work 10 all fertile

scape" is good example of his natural
preference. and looking out from under the
trees in this picture across the stretch of
deep meadow, where cattle are browsing,
it is easy to imagine that you are In the
