BILE life, gave the Herald his opinion on
this subject OF the nude. Mr.. Browns
studio is appropriately In the midst OF
busiest New York, and all about him
are types of the city gamin-those types
he has made so attractively his own.
From my experience In Edinburgh,
while at college," said Mr.. Brown, Il
can readily understand now the Scotch
authorities thought II desirable to for
bid the exhibition Of the nude, and how
they could reconcile themselves TO boy
cotting Michel Angelo. Figures should
be painted nude, but not naked; there IS
where the objection TO the nude comes
in, if there is any objection. The ten
dcncy OF the times is, perhaps, TO be
trae suggestive, but this, like the eX-
PLANTATION of the multitude Of common
place pictures now seen, Is largely due
TO the presence Of many painters who
are not artists
"a model is never followed literally;
the artist must always add brains TO her
own attractions, but he must never add
voIuptuousness. For the reason partly.
in order to avoid any possible faint OF
the sensual, a model is accepted as the
proper artistic standard that has not
ACQUIRED the flesh and rOtundlty Suiii-
cient to impart an appearance OF the
voluptuous, while at the same time the
model must not be so thin or emaciated
rs 10 be repellant. The study of the
nude is necessary If one Intends to be-
come a painter; it is especially so If one
expects TO become an artist.
MODELS oBTAINABLE AT HOME.
But why do not the painters aim at
originality? Why persist in going to
history for their subjects when there
are so many good subjects all around
them? Suppose, for instance, the paint
ers in the time Of the revolution had
portrayed the life of that day, the boys
that were about the streets, the men
that made up the masses, the women
that even then were distinctly Amer
can, what an interesting collection such
pictures would make to-day.

proper use in their inability to compete
upon an honest footing.
Among every people, however crude
or developed may have been their art,
provided they had an art at all, the
study Of the nude has been considered
essential and has been freely followed.
Even among the Japanese and the Chi
nese, with their grotesque caricatures
OF the human figure, there are definite
laws laid down for the guidance OF the
student in his work. The great Japan
csc artist Hokusai gives the canon that
prevails with the far Eastern artist,
and it is interesting to compare 1t with
the rules as they are in Europe. The
similarity between the two is wonderful.
HoKussi probably knew nothing OF the
canons of European art, and yet he has,
with very slight variation, given the
same proportions that obtain among the
nations OF the Western World.

THINKS THE NUDE ESSENTIAL.
Edwin H. Bashfield has his studio up
town, and there he told Herald repre-
sentative what be thought OF the nude.
Mr.. Bashfeld said
THE Greeks and Romans considered
il necessary TO study from the nude In
order 10 become efficient artists, and
their work was Of such perfection that
l don't think we can criticise II much
in this age. | consider the study OF the
nude absolutely essential TO the study

Raphael, in his paintings-in his

sketches of his figures first nude, aud

robes he wished to have them wear
in the picture. Numerous sketches OF

.USROF THENUDBNA ART
SEVERAL WELL KNOWN ARTISTS GIVE
THEIR VIEWS
Regarding It's COntinuauce-InierestlDg Opinions
Of E1psrs-I's Study Has Always Been
Considered Essential BY the Different
Nations.

There is certainly a tendency against
the nude in the minds Of many artists.
The standing of this artistic element
opposed 10 the study OF undraped
models is sufficiently great to entitle IT'S
opinion TO some respect, while the opln-
ion OF the artists favoring the contln-
uance Of present methods is decided and
in the large majority.
The reason for the spasm against the
nude uuquestionably is found in the
extraordinary moral wave that is just
now sweeping around the world, per-
hitting professional reformers TO carry
out their favorite hobbies aud to test
their theories on tbs busy people OF the
earth.
Just such q wave passed over the
world a few hundred years ago, and
W hen il had gone there remained be-
hind barren swath devoid of art, OF
humanity, OF genius, OF every attribute
that goes TO make habitable place FOR
human beings and a dwelling for those
whose minds are free from the vice OF
the slums and who can see in their EEL
low beings some other motive for exist
ence than the qualification OF improper
thoughts or the desire TO carry out some
private ideas Of crime.
MEDIAEvAL ART.
It lis condition of mediaevatism that
these moralists of to-day would bring
US 10 again. They would have US again
without the beautiful, again staring at
yards Of horrible pictures showing the
terrors of life in the good old times,
when constancy to an opinion was re-
warded by stoning to death, or when
the man who differed from the prevail
ing sanctided atmosphere was pictured
with horns and shown 10 be roasting
over d purifying fire.
II is such a position we would occupy
to-day if the thOughtlesS, selfish hordes
of professional purists could force their
theories down the throat OF the public.
| We would be without art, as we are
without proyer government we would
| be more medieval than the mediaeyalS,
because our advanced civilization has
taught US how to be narrow on new
| lines.

When the people Of the previous re-
form crusade recovered from their stag
nation and took up an artistic career
once more they went to such an extent
into riot aud dissipation that their do
ings remain a scandal on the pages OF
history, and their released spirits show
ed so unmistakably the JOY at the break
ing of the ties that the incidents OF the
few opening years of the Renaissance
serve TO this day to be quoted as the true
type Of reckless debauChery. Human
beings ara certain TO resent the apro
string business, and when the string be-
comes too tight or is pulled trife
longer and harder than the victims
think is necessary then they snap it en-
tirely, and the rsbble Of Png faced med
dlers realize they havl accomplished
nothing but to whet the appetite OF the
masses for excuses by d. priving them

PURITY IN ART IMPERATIVE.

iveness. It must be pure or it will kill

avoid the slightest faint Of evil. There
