That may seem a bold thing to say, but
l think our country affords the best of
ali fields fer the display OF modern
genius In America we are better judges
of caricature than they are in other
countries our wit Is keener, our sense
of humor brighter The year OF 1895 will
undoubtedly witness a holder departure
from the conventional in earieature. The
cartoon will appeal to the intellect while
losing none OF its satire. We are un-
doubtedly on the eve OF a development

appeal to the broadly human keeps Its

lit would be nearly correct to say that
art Is caricature for the moment. The
marvellous effect upon mere serious art
by Aubrey Beartisley's daring blacks and
whites. and the French poster school
during 1891 has shown that art was ready
for changes that cannot fail TO become
more marked in 1895. Beardsleyism is
not TO be taken too seriously: but art
will learn from carieature. in 1895. the
lesson that Napoleon taught the strate-
