THE international exhibition Of the Car
negie Institute will open next Thurs
day In Pittsburg. This Is the one oc-
casion when the works of contemporary
foreign artists are shown in this country
and when opportunity is given to compare
the works of American artists with those
of foreign nations. For this reason and
because OF the large prizes given, this
exhibition is invariably one of the most
important and interesting of the year.
| N Philadelphia at present the T. Square
Club is holding it's annual architec-
tural exhibition at the Pennsylvania
of the Fine Arts, which is linn
tied this year to domestic architecture,
and in New York next Thursday the
forty-third annual exhibition of the
American Water Color Society opens.
r. HE United States will have a repre-
sentative exhibition of art at the
expositions to be held at Buenos Aires
and Santiago this summer and autumn.
The exhibition will consist of about 125
paintings in oil and thirty-five bronzes
by the foremost American painters and
Sculptors. The artists represented show,
1t is said, in almost every case, works of
the highest quality, and 1t is thought
that no similar collection for an inter
national exposition has exceeded this in
quality.
Among those represented are +. D. Mil
let, George de Forest Brush, Winslow
Homer, j. Francis Murphy, T. W. Dew
ing, ID. w. Tryon, Charles Crafty, Ell
Harvey, Bessie Potter Vonnoh. AS
American art is comparatively little
known in Buenos Aires or Santiago, both
of which are progressive, wealthy cities,
this exhibition, which goes under the
charge of John f. D. Trask, director of
the PENNSYLVANIA Academy of the Fine
Arts and commissioner general from the
United States, is regarded as specially
important. The exhibits were shipped this
week direct to Buenos Aires
