The daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1904-1905, 1904-03-25

/ for October, III the article by Tue
writer devoted to the Richmond
Group. This letter describes inter-
estingly this artists visit to a book
shop for an artists materials before
going out sketching and of idly turn
ing over the pages of this magazine
and suddenly coming upon the repro
duction of the pictures by his old
friends, and further of the impulse it
gave him to go out and paint like
mad. The article in the Art Inter
change has given the Richmond Group
wide spread public.
Tomorrow, Saturday the Goth, the
twenty-eighth annual exhibition of
the Society of American Artists opens
in the Fine Arts Building, New York,
this being one of the great annual
picture shows in the metropolis and
looked upon as one of the most i'm
portant events during the art season.
1t viii continue until May 1st. The
annual exhibition of the American
Water Color Society also opens short
ly in New York as announced in this
column several weeks ago.
Some years since several artists in
New York seeded" = altho' it is
vague as to exactly what they Use
ceded" from-and have since given
annual exhibitions Of their own pic
lures. They call themselves "Ten
American Artists Or "The Ten, -
and their present exhibit will contin-
ue In the Durand-Ruel Galleries until
April End. The display consists of
thirty canvases. The writer once
read rather funny little story about
the great singer, Van Dyke, of the
Metropolitan Company that season,
who was heard to murmur as he is
sued forth from an exhibition of pic
lures by "The Ten" imbecile! i'm
becile!' Presumably referring to the
pictures. This can readily be believed
when it is known that Childe Hassam
is one of "The Ten,'' for while he has
done notable work he has also turned
out why looking things which mas
queraded under the name of Epic
lures Worse than some of the
weird, mysterious daubs once seen
here by Wendt, of Chicago. They say
however, that Wendt, is really won
derful technician. He thought, how
ever that Richmond was down in the
country and Just sent any old canvas.
This was a mistake.
Because we reek with
culture. People in the country now
adays are far more sophisticated that
the provincial denizens of the crowd
ed commercial marts, and sometimes
even suffer from "angwee.
Mr.. Herman, the art dealer Of In
dianapolis, is exhibiting some of the
work Of Mr.. Girardin and Mr.. Bandy,
including about thirty oils by Mr..
Girardin and twenty-one water colors
and several oils by Mr.. Bundy.
Mr.. Bundy will send several water
colors to be shown at the annual exhi-
Ibition of water colors to be held at the
Art Institute in Chicago in April. Mr..
Bundy has also reconsidered his de-
cision not to send any pictures for
entry to the fine arts department at
st. Louis and has forwarded two pic
lures to be passed upon by the jury,
so that Messrs. Bundy, Girardin and
Conner will be represented in that de-
partment as we'll as in the Indiana
building.
This column is in receipt of circu-
lars setting forth the details of Mr..
Chase's summer class in England,
which is to be limited to forty. Mr..
Chase last summer took a class to
Holland, and. with such success, that
many more than can be accepted will
probably be applicants.
