Studio life and sentiment are almost |
synonymous terms. Why this should |
be 50 is easily explained. An artists life |
is almost invariably lonely one. No |
matter how sociable his temperament |
may be, his working hours are generally |
spent in silence and seclusion. Being
essentially of n sensitive nature he longs
for such sympathy rs women alone can
I give. The failure Of picture or its
complete success are matters that re
quire more coincidence or congratulation
than can be expressed by brother
/ painter. The kindliest Of ncighbors can
not go further than TO say: Look here.
old fellow, | am awful sorry that they
sent your picture back from the acade-
my. It's beastly shame. That's what
/ call it." Or: by Jove. old man. you're
in luck. know lots OF fellows with
big name who have been working for
year back to catch the Shaw or Evans
prize. and you got it away from EN- all
But you always were a lucky dog"
A woman does these things better
That il the reason he wants TO marry
her The painter is naturally romantic
In his opinion girlhood is always an
gelic. He may. have individual pref
erence for blends or brunettes, for little
or tall or intellectual or womanly WON
en-. but the entire sex is still beautiful
to him, not perhaps in its physical fea
lures. but in its mental possibilities.
Hence he is always in love and restrained
from matrimony only by the difficulty
of supporting two people ON an income
that is barely sufficient for one. To be
nm artist you must be an idealist. Stu
dio life has extraordinary vicissitudes at
times. but it is always made mp more or
less of visionary clements. Occasionally
the artists dreams turn into Nightmares,
and he has a very bad quarter of an
hour But when events disillusioniZe
him he mopes for a short period and pro
ceeds to fall in love with a new charmer.
Last spring two Young men, one n
painter, his companion a sculptor, were
joint occupants of a studio in New
York. These departments of art do not
always agree. inasmuch as the dust and
dirt of n sculptor's modelling platform in
terfere considerably with the purity OF a
portrait makers paints. But neither Of
the young fellows was rich, and by club
bling together they managed to pay the
rent of larger studio than they could
have had separately. The sculptor made
as little dust as possible and kept it well
down by frequently using water
sprinkler Not TO be behindhand IL
courtesy, the painter was patient, and by
keeping sheet Of drapery in constant
readiness was enabled instantly 10 cover
his canvas when his comrade unavoid-
ably threw out cloud of powdered
plaster of paris They were comrades
in every sense Of the word, and had a
union of pocaetbooks rs well rs Of sym
pathies. On one occasion the sculptor
was so hard up on the final receipt of a
J commission for large statue that he
was unable to buy the clay necessary for
his model, whercapon the painter de-
MED himself cigars, took to pipe and
by this economy got enough money TO
] pay for the necessary materials
Some time afterwarl the artist re
ceived an important order and had not
, the wherewithal to purchase the large
4 canvas essential for its execution. The
sculptor said nothing. but putting on
| his street coat went out fora walk. An
hour later he came back accompanied
!, by boy. and between them they car.
ried canvas twelve feet long by six
/ wide. 1t was windy day, and the
! sculptor was quite exhausted by the
: effort of getting his unrnly burden past
$ gusty corners Bnt after few minutes

went 10 work in their respective corners.
