American Art Is Improving
While That of Europe Decays
" c. Fisher, Who Has Just Returned From the Cont
nent Talks Interestingly of Decadence Of
Work Done by European Artists.

During the summer vacation OF the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art, some of the
trustees were engaged during their
foreign travel in keeping in mind the
desire Of the COrcoran Gallery to add
TO its permanent collection, examples Of
the works of the best painters of the
French school. AS a result of this quest,
there has been selected and purchased
for the gallery an excellent example
Of the work of the painter, Lhermitte,
work Of his best period and quality.
The picture purchased Will soon arrive
at the COrcOTan Gallery. With the ar
rival Of this work there will remain the
task Of selecting an example Of the
best work Of another French painter,
and when this has been accomplished,
It is estimated that the representation
of painters Of the French school will
be second to no other museum in the
country.

That American art IS not only I'm 70

In their work, although Il has not

reported in The Times during the exhi-
bition at the Co~coran Gallery in 1907.
