there is too much experimenting, but
there is token of earnest endeavor.
The American paintings do surpass In
many respects the works of the foreign
ers, inasmuch as they are fresher. more
spontaneous and purposeful. but they are
open to the charge of immaturity and
may be found lacking in tonal quality.

First Among Americans.

In viewing tnlS exhibition OF WlnSl0W
Homer's works 1t is easy to understand
why he is given first rank among Ameri-
can painters. His pictures are wonder
fully realistic and yet tremendously
strong and impressive. One feels keenly
the dramas they present and realizes
their profound significance. The water
he paints has not only motion but weight,
it pounds upon the rocks and Is resisted
by them. 1t is interesting to know that
Mr.. Homers first essay in painting was
ing been sent there in 1881 by Harper's
Weekly to pictorially report Lincoln's
Inauguration. OF all the-American paint
ers he has come the least under foreign
influence. and has given himself most
completely to the transcription of Ameri-
can scenes. It is good to find one painter
who Is receiving honor and appreciation
during his lifetime. as these rewards are
apt to come too late.
Much discussion and some adverse criti-
cism was called forth by the prize awards

occasion for dissatisfaction. The gold
