QUESTION REJECTION
OF WARDS STATUE

Difficulties Of an unusual character
have attended the selection OF a design
for the Sheridan statue. In the. prepare
ton Of a model which should fully meet
the satisfaction of the sculptor. J. Q.
A. Ward. more than ordinary care has
been taken. A design which had met
with the approval Of the commission
some time ago was destroyed by the ar
list. as he felt that he would be able
to furnish a more acceptable design for
this important work. The second de
sign. which the sculptor believed was an
Improvement over the first and accepted
model, has failed to meet with the ap-
prevail Of Mrs Sheridan, and this dis
approval has been concurred in by the
commission The objections Of Mrs.
Sheridan appear 10 be based UpCn the
failure OF the artist 10 present an accept
able portrait of the general 1t is prob
able that the artist had in mind the
higher qualities of a statue in present
ing character rather that the simple
qualities of g portrait study. The abili-
ty of this veteran sculptor is unquss-
toned. If he has presented an art work
beyond the appreciation OF the COM
mission It Is to be regretted that eX-.
pert advice upon the value of the de-
sign as All art composition has not
been secured.

JAMESTOWN EXHIBITION
TO BE ABANDONED

After the American public had been
advised tat an art exhibit OF paintings
by American artists OF the leading class
would be one Of the features OF the
coming jamestown exposition. and many
OF the details OF the exhibit, such as
the selection and soliciting Of pictures,
had been arranged. an oner from Eng
land 10 loan a collection OF antiquarian
objects belonging TO the Colonial period
was received by the managers Of the
exposition This collection is said 10
be one in which Edward VII is deeply
interested. and. although the articles
offered as a loan have a greater value
as objects Of historical Importance than
Of art interest, il was made a condition
that the loan should be exhibited in a
hreproof building The only building
which seemed available for this pur-
pose was the building designed for the
art. exhibit, and. in order 10 make the
loan possible il was necessary that the
art exhibit should be abandoned As
this offered collection presented the dig
nifty Of an international affair, II was
considered wise TO accept It at the ex-
pense Of the sacrifice Of the art ex-
hibit While r. y. Brooke. as director,
and Miss MechIin, as assistant director,
have been hard AT work in the interests
of this exhibition Of American paintings.
and secured the loan Of nearly enough
paintings TO occupy the space available
for the exhibition, the possibilities for
the erection of another building suitable
for the purpose are so remote that the
project has practically been abandoned.

III. MOSER WILL
EXHIBIT AT PHILADELPHIA

Mr.. James II. Moser invited a
number Of his artist friends and art
lovers to meet at his studio, 500 Z street,
last Wednesday afternoon TO inspect his
selection Of work intended for the fourth
annual water-colOr exhibition which
opens at the Pennsylvania Academy OF
Fine Arts IN Philadelphia on April J.
For this exhibition Mr.. MOser has made
a selection Of ten water cOlOrs. which
illustrate the different phases Of his eX-
amples Of mist-clOuded mountains, for
which he has shown great fOndness,
and secured a wide reputation Opposed
to this were some works such as The
Red Barn in which abundant accuracy
Of realism is shown. Another picture
shows a tender appreciation Of sprirg
landscape tone, with the delicate ar
rangement of a commonplace white
dwelling as a note Of contrast Broader
than his usual work is an evening paint
ing of a simple cabin with a sky Of true
evening quality. In this work he has
abandoned the conservatism Of his color
arrangement. and boldly gone TO the ex-
IRENE OF impressionism-

LUC1EN W POWELL
EXHIBITS HIS WORK

Thirty-eight pictures in oils and water
color by Lucien w. Powell are now on
exhibition at Veerhof's in r street and
VIII continue 70 be exhibited until
March g. The pictures as a whole are
thoroughly charming in color and popu-
lar in subject In the variety Of sub
jects presented, and in the different eX-
amples Of technique. as well as in the
color arrangement the versatility Of
their artist is mentioned. His work is
not a forcible emphasis of the tenets Of
a single school unless II may be ad-
mitted 20 be that of q school Of his own
creation In some Instances he has
given illustration Of the crispness Of the
water coIorists Of an earlier period. and
some examples are found in which al
most a Photographic matter OF fact
record is conspicuous. Tuis is not an
indication of his convictions but of some
Of the IMPRESSION shown by painters in
sometimes doing work OF a character
differing from their customary manner.
In the large number Of the exhibited
works Of Mr. Powell there is found a
dash and freedom Of expression with the
apparent aim 70 secure a composition
which viii attrac- by its appeal 70 the
sense Of the beauty Of colorinE rather
than by its rigid adherence to exact for
mula of drawing or arrangement. By
this he makes a standard Of beauty,
rather than of scientific mathematical
exactness. BY this method he asserts
that the artist and the layman is in
fIuenced To a greater extent by appeal
ing beautiful objects rather than by
those which are proven and found cor
rect by measurement and other tests
The subjects comprised in this eNhibi-
ton are largely from sketches made in
Italy. a pleasing variety is given TO
what otherwise might be q limited range
Of subjects by some exceptionally hne
selections from the Grand Canyon, and
Of Natural Bridge and other NirEinian
subjects In all OF these works the
ability 10 see, and 10 express color in
its most attractive manner is evident.

FORECAST CT FATE
OF FREER COLLECTION

When Justice Stafford last June in an
opinion rendered la an action brought
for the purpose of deciding what is
termed a friendly action or suit. ruled
that the Smithsonian Institution was
and had been for many years a national
gallery OF art, and that for this purpose
was a proper custodian Of the Harriet
Lane Johnston collection Of paintings,
there existed in this city a wide differ
ence of opinion concerning the future
possibilities Of a national gallery of art,
beyond the mere title and the judicial
decision fixing its status. The possio;li-
ties Of the Freer collection coming into
the possession OF tue national gallery at
the death Of the donor. accompanied with
a gift o: half a million of dollars 10
be used for the erection of an art gal
lery for the Freer collection alone. plac-
ed the possibility Of any considerable
number Of art works coming into the
immediate possession Of the national
gallery a long way in the future. The
location Of the Johnston collection, aug
meuted by the loan of small collection
in the lecture room of the National
Museum was an unimportant opening
Of the collection of paintir ; under the
charge of the national e Fry. but it
was a commencement of work of
the future. and a more definite recogni-

c. H. DAVIS SUMMER"
IN EVANS COLLECTION

The recent gift of fifty pain -hgs, all
works Of merit, by American artists of
well-established regulations, through the
generosity Of w. T. Evans. of Mont
clair. y. J., is one of the most conspic-
UOus gifts ever made in this country 20
an art museum. Art collectors as a
rule prefer to enjoy their collections
during their lifetime, and provide in
their wills for their disposition after
their period of possession has passed.
MI Evans has taken a course which
places him among the most distinguish
ed benefactors Of art in this country.
He has given during his lifetime, while
he is yet in active appreciation of art
matters, and he Is still, as ne has been
for years. a shrewd judge of art and
a judicious buyer. While he has a large
collection OF more than 800 pictures. and
can spare fifty pictures without feeling
that he has en- ,irely separated himself
from art matt rs. yet the works which
he has given TO the national gallery are
not paintings Of an ordinary character
Of little value. 1t is manifestly an in
tention of a sincere desire to give to the
American people through the medium of
the national gallery a collection which
will honor the gallery. and benefit the
cause Of art at the National Capital.
At least two of the pictures, possibly
more, were exhibited at the recent
American sailor. OF these Summer, -
| by Charles II. Davis, will be remem-
| bered as the picture 10 which F. Hop
