From the Canadian room the Wis.
itor enters the large west gallery
replete with the best work of the ar.
lists resident in America. In the cen.
ter of the largest panel hangs re-
markable group composed of land
scapes by Dwight w. Tryon and fig
ures by Thomas W. Dewing. The
work of these painters has certainly
never before been shown to such adj
vantage. both artists being inspired
by the delicate and tender aspects OF
nature. Their work harmonizes beau
tifully. Over this group hangs wa
ter color entitled "Gloria," by Albert
Herter, fit companion to the splen
did work of Tryon and Dewing. In
the center of the north room is 8
group of masterpieces by Horatic
Walker, showing of his work such
as has rarely been seen. Over this
brilliant group hangs an immense

his noted vigorous brush work and
sureness of touch. To the left two
figures by Abbott H. Thayer and one
by George De Forest Brush, painters
differing vastly in their methods but
achieving the highest success in de.
picting the human soul. Near by

In the sculpture court, between .
double row of beautiful small bronze
statues, can be seen a plaster copy
Of the Shaw Memorial, by Augustus
st. Gaudens. This has been set ur
exactly as it was at the Paris exposi
ton, and shows the master hand OF
the great sculptor, contrasting re.
markably with his small medallions
shown in the same room. In the
