How TO Judge Works of Art was the
subject of the lecture before the Seattle
Art League Tuesday evening last. when
IL was said: Experienced critics have
rules for Judging works of art. To de-
terrnine good picture from bad one re-
quireS hat a glance. The Judgment might
be regarded as instructive or intuitive. but
n is not. Thorough training impaired the
ability. The rules he uses cannot be
framed TO the understanding of the one
who lacks an art education. For him there
are no such rules there never can be. We
are all gifted with what's known as taste.

tive sensibilits and judgment are the
foundation upon which the critics knowt-
