The hemicycie Of the Corcoran Gallery
admirable little exhibition of student work.
There were landscapes, still-life studies
portraits and decorative work in variety
standing as an earnest of the industry of
the pupils of the Corcoran School. 1t was
summer work, done during vacation hours
without guidance or criticism. and was for
this reason the more significant. Only
when a student Is left to his own devices
will he discover his own strength or weak
ness; only when he goes to nature alone
will 1t be found whether or not his in
struction has profited him. OF course no
school produces all geniuses, the feeble and
the strong must go hand in hand, and there
will always be the proverbial few of the
latter. so 1t is the general average alone
which must be taken into consideration.
and that in this case was unusually high
The work, taken as whole, displayed more
than ordinary promise. There were some
landscape sketches which possessed real
spOntaniety and Indicated both freshness and
originality in vision, some still-life painting,
which was strong and sincere. and some
decorative work, both simple and effective
No doubt timidity was manifested. struc-
tural weakness. technical stumbling, but
the purpose of a school Is to teach, and
there was evidence here of right striving
and of correct ideals. There was real
good reason to congratulate both the In
structors and students OF the school.
On Monday afternoon. in the lower hemi-
cycle. Mr.. E. C. Messer gave the first of
this seasons art talks before the stu
dents of the Corcoran School and their
friends. The subject was ''veracity In
Art" and the lecturer amplified 1t In a
He interpreted veracity to mean more than
truth and sincerity. Showing how every
painter must make his own Interpretation,
he pointed out the imposstbtlity Of any one
manifesting the whole truth He urged not
only care but affection in transcription. The
work, he said, that was lovingly rendered
was the one which made direct appeal.
Gorots pictures are not always true to
but they are true to the vision of their
painters and were produced for the sheer
love OF the doing. Other examples were
given; other thoughts thrown out; and, In
ers that only those who had a message
really entered the gates of art-that the
longing to impart true Joy alone opened
the way to worthy expression.

medicines which, from their stimulat-

for a time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
