A notable Now York portrait painter,
Walter Florian, has recently come to
California for his health, but Is to re-
main indefinitely and has plans for a
busy year, as he contemplates taking
up landscape, tempted by the wonder
full possibilities California has to offer.
Mr.. Florian was first a student of the
Art Students league, New York, later
going to Europe, where he studied un-
der different masters, among whom
were Jean Paul Laurens, Julien acadia
my, and Josef Israels. His portrait of
Israels won a silver medal 'at the st.
Louis worlds fair, and many of his
later portraits have added to his repu-
tation for creditable work. 1t is I'M
derstod that Mr.. Florian will visit Los
Angeles.
The American Free Art league has
issued a brief in favor of the removal
of the duties from works of art, which

1t contains short but convincing argu-

art museums, and as many college
PlCSidGlllos UCoiQGo lllC cSbQc1l DlCcl AlAuS
by the league from an educational, in
dustrial and artistic standpoint, and
opinions from the press, more than 800
newspapers and magazines being
quoted in favor of free art.
This league was organized at meet
ing held In New York in April, 1905, and
has increased to a large general MEM
bership, with board of directors num-
bering 500 comprising prominent edu-
love
every state in the Union. President
Charles w. Eliot of Harvard university
fully expresses the views held by the
league thus: "a tax on works of art
is a tax on the education and develop
ment of the sense of beauty and of the
enjoyment of the beautiful. The APP
probation of the beautiful is a rich
source of public happiness, and the ulti-
mate object of all government is to
promote public happiness. Therefore,
tax on works of art violates the
fundamental principles of a democracy
which believes in universal education.
and in all other means of increasing
mental and bodily efficiency and the
resulting public and individual enjoy
ments" This organization is most
creditable one and has worked assidu-
ously to its one object, to secure the
removal of the duties from all works

Art Review

VIZ LILLIAN WENDT, painter, and
w his wife, Julian Bracken Wendt,
sculptress leave this month for
Chicago, where they will hold a joint
exhibition of their work at the Art
institute, and remain in that city for
several months. Mr.. Wendt has many
splendid pictures lately finished, ana is
still hard at work upon others to be
shown for the first time in his coming
exhibition, but unfortunately for Los
Angeles, these fine paintings will not be
exhibited here, as the Art institute has
the exclusive first showing of Mr.
Wendt's work, and as there are many
in the middle west and east waiting to
purchase something from this artists
brush, we cannot expect any of these
pictures to return. Mr.. Wendt stands at
the top among Southern California
painters, and his portrayals of our
landscapes are SURPRISING in their beau
ty of composition and color, their
strength and vigor of technique, and
the truth and sincerity with which they
are rendered.
Mrs. Wendt is as Individual in her
work, and her commodious new studio
contains many new and interesting
pieces she has recently modelled,
among them being life-sized bust of
/ her husband. There are other busts,
also medallions in exquisite bas-relief,
/ figures in the round, fountains fonts,
and an arch of exceptional design and
/ composition. Mrs. Wendt Is an artist
/ of genuine merit, original in concept and
! broad in treatment. Her portrait
! sketches in low relief have great charm,
their simplicity and freedom of hand
/ ling making quick appeal to lovers of
+ this art. Her technique is most adj
/ mirable, and the grace and beauty of
! her lines delightful. One of the small
figures, which is to be cast in bronze,
| is really a little masterpiece in model
] ing and composition; it is a nude male
( figure, seated beside a sphynx, in a
deep study, the expression of the face
and the whole pose being of thought
force. 1t is beautifully executed and
proves Mrs. Wendts thorough knowl-
edge of anatomy and her ability to
model the human figure.
