great "Fragonard" masterpieces, Is the
question that is agtating the art low
ing public at present. VIII Plerpont
Morgan place them In the Museum,
where the masses may feast their eyes
upon them, or will he, as so many OF |
the fabulously wealthy do, keep them !
for his home, where only the friends |
and intimates of the rich man, may en-
Joy their beauties? All these are cues |
tons that the papers are daily discus |
sing. and from the masses who are on |
an equal footing in this great building |
OF art and history the prayer is, that |
the public may be given the benefit OF |
Fragonard's wonderful art. At this |
time. while Du Barry holds the public |
as she does. It seems a fittlng time TO
exhibit the paintings TO her numerous |
admirers, and at the seme time pay |
court TO the man whose genius has |
made La Du Barry immortal"
