THE LATE ROBERT BLUM.
Disposition Of the Works of 4rt Left

A few weeks ago It was announced by Mr..
William J. Baer, administrator of the estate of
the late Robert Blum, that he had been au-
thorized by Mrs Henrietta Halter, OF Cincin-
natl, the painters sister and his sole heir-at-
law. to select amy or all Of the most valuable
and instructive of his works or studio effects
for presentation to various incorpora ted art in
stitutions." He sought In the execution of his
task the aid of Mr. Frederick Dielman, presi-
dent of the National Academy Of Design; Mr..
John La Fargo, president OF the Society Of Amer
lean Artists; Mr.. ]. G. Brown. president of the
American Water Color Society; Mr. r Swain
Clifford art director Of Cooper Institute and
Mr.. J. H. Gest, director of the Cincinnati AIu-
scum Association. Mr.. Dielman was elected
chairman of this committee, which has recently
completed its work.
The Vintage Festival" a panel measuring
10 by feet, has been given to the Museum
for the Arts of Decoration at Cooper Institute,
together with nearly hundred figure and
drapery studies The National Academy OF
Design has received all the available studies
to the number of fourscore-for the Moods OF
Music" the first of the two MendeIssohn Hall
Glee Club decorations. Each of these institu-
lions also received two of Blum's unfinished cam
vases. souvenirs of his sojourn in Japan in
1S90-'93.
To the Metropolitan Museum was offered n
series. Later on an important easel picture by
Blum viii in all probability be offered privately
by the owner TO the museum. The circular
panel, "Allegretto," decorative sketch for the
ceiling of music room is be placed In the
reception room at Mendelssohn Hall. The only
other beneficiary is the Salmagundl Club, to
which has been given an unfinished canvas AT
Prayer" painted in Japan.

tion Of Cincinnati, Blums birthplace has been
given the important pastel called My Studio:

the artists etchings and the bust Of Blum
modelled by Niehaus, which is to be cast in

lately received from the Alfred Corning Clark
Estate the well known oil painting entitled The
Lace Makers" 1t is recalled by the way, that
Blum was elected an associate Of the National
Academy Of Design when he sent this picture
to one of its exhibitions, and that on showing
his second canvas, The Ameya," a few years
later, he made a full academician a record
Of rapid acceptance probably unprecedented.
