ART CRITICISM.

The artistic armament OF Salt Lake
city has been, OF late, much disturbed
by pyrotechnic eruptions OF the artistic
temperament on account OF the failure
to award a prize at a former exhibition,
the judges claiming that of the pictures
entered none was possessed OF sufficient
merit to win the award. And this brings
to mind the fact that there has always
been dissatisfaction among those who
have failed TO win In similar exhibitions,
and always will be. i'm greater de-
gree than elsewhere, until some accept
able standard OF criticism Is attained
and established. IL Is undeniable that
not only In this state, especially, but
throughout the country. the dearth OF
rational criticism Is a serious drawback
to the progress OF art among US. While
our students are asaimilatlng all that
IL to be learned In the foremost
European schools, and discovering,
some OF them, very remarkable talents,
our art criticism Is not progressing at
corresponding rate. The knowledge
which enables the critic to lead his pub
