ART Is SNUBBED.
The National Judges Were
Unfair.
California Artists Will Assert Them
selves and Show the World That
They Can Paint.

Some San Francisco artists are now
deeply troubled.
On Saturday they felt pretty blue at hav-
ing their pictures rejected by the national
jury in charge Of paintings for the Worlds
Fair.
Now that they have had a couple Of days
to think it over, they are troubled, and
deeply troubled at that
Out of the 997 pictures offered to select
from only 146 were accepted. OF those
chosen sixty eight were by Chicago artists,
ana only three by the artists Of San Fran
cisco. OF these one was pastelle by
Arthur +. Mathe ews, and the other two
were oil paintings by Miss NJ. 'Ev elyn Nc
Keith, Neal, JoulIin, Peixotto. Kunath
and several others have been left in the
shade.
Were the judges fair In their selections? {?
is the question which is troubling the artists
the most
Il do not hesitate moment in saying
that the judges at Chicago dia not deal
justly with the pictures presented to them,"
said William Keith yesterday.
How could a thousand pictures be ex-
amined and criticized according to their
merits in two or three days%
"a great many pictures do not show their
merits at first. Take a picture with a rich,
warm coloring and place beside 1t one more
SuDQueu ana cOlQer III tone. Inc 1rSt
picture will appeal 10 the eye quicker and
snap judgment will be given in Its favor,
while the second picture may possess much
greater merit
That is most likely what has occurred
in the judgment OF the Chicago committee.
Pictures have been sent from here that /
know would receive great consideration at
the national gallery in France, but our
Chicago friends have decided to ignore the
West.
There is one thing about it. The people
in the East have an idea-and e well-devel-
oped one at that-that the productions of
the Western States must be all crude.
New York artist looks with disdain on
Chicago painter. The Chicago painter has
an idea that St. Paul man is nothing
better than a Kindergarten graduate. The
St. Paul man thinks that the works of a
Denver artist are not worth consideration,
and in Denver the artists go around with
their hats covering brain fostering an idea
that no artists exist in San Francisco.
''The artists of California, anyway, have
last chance. There is TO be California
building, and we will have good showing
there.
Before the fair is over. any artist with a
fair mind will be convinced that this State
can make as good a showing in the art world
as any other State In the Union.
Both Mr.. Mathews and Miss Mccormick
have painted better pictures than those
selected for the national gallery, and nearly
all the California artists have shown an in
dividuality in their work.
There are artists and not copyists In the
garden of the Pacific, and that fact will be
demonstrated before the snow again flies
around Jackson Park"

At first his language was not understood,

supposed TO be roaming at large and to
sometimes appear in the most peaceful and

their residence here as cutting the
