ings. prints. etc. In the CspitoI, too.
there are a number of historical
paintings by Trumbull. Vanderlyn,
and others. which are we'll worthy
of mention. But TO these time and
space permits only this casual allu-
sion.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art is al
ready so well known 10 the public
that it requires but scant mention
here. Notwithstanding the fact that
it is a private corporation, it is never
theiess the nearest approach We have
to a National Gallery" inasmuch as
it is the only public art gallery at
our National Capital.
When it was first opened to the
public in 1874 it contained 90 paint
ings and 5 works in marble. Its col
Iections today number z73 paintings
in oils and water colors; POS casts
in plaster from the antique, the Re-
naissance, and modern sculptures; %
works in marble. and III in bronze.
| The attendance of visitors 10 the
gallery averages nearly 100000 per-
sons annually.
Briefly stated. it may be said that
the main features of the gallery are
large and representative collection
of paintings by American artists, a
number of exceptional examples of
the Barbizon School. one of the fin
est and most carefully selected col
lections of casts in the country. and
107 sculptures in bronze by A. L.
Barge.
In connection with the gallery there
is a free art school. also established
by Mr.. Corcoran, with classes in
drawing, painting, composition, still
life, water color. etc. which has an
enrolment of about $50 students.
Duty on Works of Art.
A few words here touching the ex-
cessive rates of duty charged on
works of art imported from abroad
would not be out of place. This has
been a very serious handicap to the
| progress of art in Washington. as it
has been in every other city in the
United States. 1t is exorbitant and
narrow minded. This duty is not only
tax on works of art: it is also
tax on the education. the culture,
and the refinement Of the American
public
/ II is a fact that. while nearly every
other nation in the world has bar
rier to keep valuable works of art
within the limits of their own coun-
/ try, We have one TO keep them out.
There are now many. valuable paint
ings, owned by Americans. which re-
main in Europe because their own
ers cannot, or will not, pay this alb
surd duty. 1t is no protection to the
American artists as it is supposed to
be- The American artists are the
very ones who most desire this duty
removed. The country has already
suffered enough on this account
The Washington times., 1906-01-28
The Early Struggles.

The association had a membership
of over 200 persons, consisting OF
artists. art lovers. and many other
well-known citizens of Washington.
1t at first occupied a building on the
north side of II street. near the cor
ner of Fourteenth street.-the site
now occupied by the Medical School
of the George Washington Univer-
sity. This building was erected by
Mr. w. w. CoFcoran, who gave its
free use to the association. Two
most creditabIe exhibitions were held
in these quarters, in which most of
the local painters. as we'll as a mum
Der Of those from other parts of
the country. were represented. Sew
eral important pictures were sold
during these exhibitions.
Later the association moved from
it's home on II street and occupied
quarters, especially fitted for exhibit
ton purposes, on the north side OF
d street, between Tenth and Eleventh
streets, where another exhibition was
held similar to those held in the
building on II street
The Washington times., 1906-01-28

In many of the great countries OF
the world, the national capital is, as
it properly should be. the chief CEN
ter of the art life of the nation. It
is unfortunate. at least from the
Washingtonian S point of view, that
this cannot be said of our own Ma
tional Capital; for it is unbeatable
that there are other Of our great
American cities which are far in adj
vance of Washington in this respect
And yet. bearing in mind the disad-
vantages and discouragements under
which art in Washington has labored.
and her small population as COM
pared TO that of her sister cities, and
considering, too. the gratifying pro-
gress which has been made along
these lines il recent years. we have
every reason to be proud of our
standing today as one of the art
centers of the nation.
The first art organization in Wash
ington of which the writer has any
knowledge was organized in NoYem-
Der. 1856. under the name of the
Washington Art Association. It's Of
ficers and directors were at that
time as follows: President. Horatio
Stone; vice president. William D.
Washington; corresponding secre-
tary. Robert S. Chiffon: recording
secretary. George R. West: treasurer,
S. E. Coues; librarian. ]. H. Adams.
jr. Directors: John Cranch, S. East
man. James C, Mcclure, William Mac
Leod, Clark Mills. T. R. Peale, ]. NJ.
Stanley, Charles F. Stansbury. Hon
orary members: w. w. Corcoran. A.
B. Durand, Emanuel Leutze, Robert
W. Weir.
The Washington times., 1906-01-28

Many members of the association,
however, were vigorously opposed to
abandoning the first home of the as
ISOLATION, and this opposition became
so strong that it finally resulted in
the disruption of the association.
Several years, however. prior to
the organization of this association
Cbefore 1S4S). a studio was built by
Charles King, the well-known por-
trait painter. on the east side of
Twelfth street, between E and F
streets. The location is that, or near
that, which is now occupied by the
Twelfth street entrance to the Co
lumbia Theater. 1t was afterward
enlarged and made into a number
of studios, which were occupied by
various artists. This was the only
studio building ever erected in Wash
ington. The building known as Yer
non row on the northeast corner of
Tenth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. was afterward occupied as a
studio building. though not erected
for that express purpose.
In the early seventies the Wash
ington Art Club organized and held
its exhibitions at first in Vernon
Row, and later in the Corcoran build
ing, at the corner of Fifteenth and
F streets. where the use of two large
connecting rooms, well lighted and
adapted for exhibition purposes, and
nicely fitted up. were given by Mr..
Corcoran for the use of the club.
1t continued TO occupy these rooms
during the remainder or Mr.. Cor
corans life.
