originality and boldness. His
Peaceful Evening is full of feeling
and the spirit and charm OF
dying day. Its color l.
delicate and harmonizes perfectly
with the theme. His Village on tia,
Hill is a representative creation,
marked with glowing sunset tints on
snow and TIRE es To many the effect
may seem overdrawn. but To close
observers OF nature il is faithful
representation of one of her striking
moods. One cannot but hope that

pictures, so-called. He gave up this
wholesale production of pictures ana
opened private studio, since which |
time his rise in the art world has |
been almost meteoric. At a recent
exhibit of his pictures at Chicago |
Art Institute twenty-five out of a |
total of twenty four exhibited were |
sold at prices ranging from $3.50 to
$500. 70 do full justice To an art

and be able to measure the success |
attained in its expression. That Mr. |
Wendt work deserves theen miuns
that have been passed upon ii l. ut |
true, as may be seen from |
the four pictures by which he is rep
resented in the exhibit. His Glimpse
