The San Francisco call., 1897-07-10
SOME OF THE;

copied from one of Prang's beautiful
chromos.
Hill has several other Yosemite scenes
on the walls, one especially, "Wawona
From Signal Peak" showing increased
strength in color and technique over his
earlier paintings. While his Upper VAL
ley of the Yosemite" is not SO preten-
tious, the detail in Iimnlng shows closer
application.
r. D. Yelland is represented by some
very fine marines, notably Low Tide,
where the artist has grasped the full
meaning of the color effect of sunset on
Monterey Bay. 1t is by far the most pow
erful picture on the walls of the gallery,
and is usually surrounded by lovers of
fine work Directly opposite are three
other beach scenes by the same artist
who seems to have caught that color effect
so much sought and so seldom found by
marine painters.
A little girl, a mem Der of Or. Mays fam
lily, on a donkey, with a background of
the Yosemite, aptly entitled ga Bride
Tour to the Yosemite" is one of the at
tractive features among the many land
scapes by which it is surrounded, and
this, with Mrs. Grace Hudson's famous
Lets Make Up," relieves the feeling of
too much scenery.
Mrs. Hudson's picture shows much
more strength OF line and technique than
neT 6aIneE anu many
compliments from artists who visit the
salon.
William Keith, whose mountain work
is recognized as being among the best, has
several painting here, but unfortunately
none of his best works. His High Sierras
Above the Yosemite" is gem, as are two
others, but they do not give full realiza-
ton of the strength OF his work ''Our
Golden Heritage" which belongs to the
Clubrooms OF the Native Sons, occupies
prominent position and is much admired.
Still life is represented by the group OF
California quail by William Hahn, the
dead artist.
Ernest Marriott has strong picture in his
"Chlifornia Street Scene" representing a
Chinese procession carrying the great
dragon. This is surrounded By four pic
lures from the same brush, depicting
scenes in Mexican life. In clese prox-
unity and gooo comparison is the fine
water color, "Hispano Californien," by
Paul FrenZeny, In a beautifully solid
carved frame.
"a Clear Lake Pastoral" by Holdredge,
as a quiet CaAfornss scene has for its
antithesis on the opposite wall an Indian
Camp" by II. Raschen, and both draw
many words of praise.
Mrs. Alice B. Chittenden is represented
by one OF her noted flower pictures, ain
the Garden" and the strength of touch
anu Is upon DY All
visiting artists.
Among othors that require mention are
a coast scene by Welch, Yosemite from
Artists Point" by G. D. Robinson, who
Is best at marine work, and Low Tide"
b. A. W. Best.
Water-colors occupy a large portion of
the gallery, those most noted being "a
Pool in the Redwoods," by L. P Latimer,
and "a Redwood Afternoon" By A. P.
Niles. There are many others well worthy
Of special mention, especially those deal
ing in figure work.
The photograph section will do more
to give the visitor full idea of California
picturesque scenery and fine points of
view than the paintings, as the walls are
literally filed with them, showing all of
the most noted places along the coast, as
wcll as many that are rarely visited.
Taken as a whole, the art gallery feature
OF the great gathering will undoubtedly
be one of the most pleasing of the many
that have been devised for the entertain
ment of the visitors.
