The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03

Thirty sketches hang on the walls of
the Hopkins Institute at present that
have been contributed by the artists of
San Francisco for the benefit of Emil Mar
jot. Truly they form ereditable and
representative collection OF the work OF
the contributors. There is not single
example of what would be called an ambi-
tious picture in the lot, but all of them
are of the best the painters were capable
of executing. Nearly all of them are stu
dies direct from nature, and several OF
them are gems in their way.
Several of the sketches are quite valua-
BILE, and all of them are interesting. They
comprise wide range OF subjects and are
varied in treatment. In fact, the artists
gave the best they had for the benefit OF
their stricken fellow-worker. There are
no titles TO these sketches, and indeed
they do not need them, for all of them
explain themselves. Following are the
names of those who have contributed
sketches:
William Keith sends fair-sized land
scape in pastiles. 1t is In his best style,
good in color and handled loosely, so that
it is most suggestive of nature in one OF
her pleasantest moods.
Arthur Mathews is represented by a bay
scene. This work is simple in compost
tion. but very true to nature. 1t is good
in color and full OF action and life.
Amadee Joullin sends the only full
length figure in the lot. 1t is one of his
best works and shows figure in Oriental
costume. There is, of course, great deal
of bright color, but on the whole, the ef-
for 10 r1o cir nd hor
r. d. Yelland is represented by one of
his characteristic evening scenes. This is
in pastel, and is pleasing and creditable
piece of work, good in color and drawing.
E. Pissis sends a picture that is like a
glimpse of sunny France. The colors are
somewhat cool, but the effect is good.
]. a. S.anton's picture shows char
acteristic view of some old buildings in
Brittany. They are wonderfully true to
nature and highly interesting. The color
ing of the old walls is particularly good.
III. R. Bloomer sends landscape that is
highly suggestive of England. 1t is
pleasing subject and well painted.
Thomas Hills contribution is one of his
late works. 1t is characteristic of his
style and strongly depicts a scene in the
Shasta region. In quality this picture is
quite a departure from the work that Mr..
Hill gained his reputation on.
Hugo Fisher sends little tropical
lapoon--ene Of the pictures painted by
him while on his recent trip to the Ha-
waiiau Islands. 1t is rich in color end
characteristic of the country it represents.
S. NJ Strauss. sends study from nature
that was made at Camp Goodall.
L. p. Latimer's contribution is one of
the WOOD interiors he paints so well.
There are several good points about it.
Edwin Deakin sends a good-sized can
vas in oil depicting a scene on the Seine.
1t is carefully worked and the color is rich
and brilliant.
G. d. Robinson contributes moonlight
marine view. This is somewhat cold in
color, but the general effect is not bad
C. F. Jesseff, late arrival here from
Australia, sends q sketch made at Homo
lulu that is bright in color and pleasing in
effect.
]. NJ. Jambles sends pastel sketch from
nature, representing bit of the Alameda
marsh.
A. J. Bruer contributes one of his small
palette knife pictures that are so pleasing
and suggest SO much OF nature.
There is particularly good still life
study from the brush of Oscar Kunath.
1t is very subdued in tone, but the values
are carefully studied and the general effect
is strong.
A group of buildings by ]. Sodert is a
good piece of work, well drawn and good
in color.
