soientious, carefully studied portraits by
those ultra-conservatives Of whom Ron
nat is the best known, and to whose fold
unhappfly Carolus Duran has returned IN
these later years.
Perfection of drawing is the one great
quality aimed al by these men. but alas .
to accomplish this perfection all idea of
the real reproduction of nature is lost, at
mcsphere and lite are passed over un
noticed. and yet to the unintiated their
art seems the most natural. These paint
ers are appreciated" by those who de-
light in seeing an eyebrow all drawn out
with laborious precision
-.
These are the men who in former days
made the money and who now occupy
places in the academy" but their days
seem numbered. They are rapidly losing
ground, and the artists who suppress de-
tail, whose aim is the broad general eff
feet, are fast crowding out the old fogies
The men with dashing technique and
clever spontaneous brush work have a
large public in our DAY. Sargent and
Mancini are the greatest opponents OF this
style. but the wizard who gave the world
that most brilliant Of all modern works,
'Carmencita,'' seldom exhibits in Paris,
while the hardly less clever Italian Is not
generally very we'll treated by the hang
ing committee at the 'Beaux-Arta." and
has resented 1t lately by not sending.
One of the best examples of this bril-
liant technique to be exhibited will be the
young Woman at the Dressing Table"
by Richard Miller This young American
artist. who has forged his way to the
ors. including the Legion OF Honor, and
has sold several pictures to the French
government. The picture he Is to send
this year has the usual clever sugges-
tons of the different textures done in
sparkling colors, and with great vision
and dexterity. The treatment Of the Chi
nese toy on the dressing table is a strik-
Ing piece OF snappy execution. Mrs. Mil
Ter posed for this picture, which Is really
quite a portrait. Hoffbauer, Woog, Zorn
and others will exhibit their usual strik-
ing examples Of technical facility.
The Spanish school that has been 50
much in evidence for two or three years
past will not be represented as usual by
the great Zuluoga, that master not being
able to send, owing to exhibitions IN
Venice and London
The impressionists once considered
extreme are now looked on as almost
conservative Edwin scott will send one
Of his Paris street scenes. His art is
sensitive and delicate to an extreme. and
difficult for the masses to appreciate. but
the artists see in him a modern Corot,
a master for the future.
Henri Martin, the foremost divisionist
after Segantini, will not be represented
this year-probably the first time he has
failed to send for many years. There will
be q portrait, very powerful, of MA
DAME" by Olga de Bosznanska. Mile.
Bosznanska is probably the most famous
woman artist now before the public. She
studies the psychological side Of hef
model, with very happy results.
In sculpture Robin will exhibit the
"Puyis de Chavannes." on which he has
been working so long time: so tho
greatest sculptor since Michelangelo
will Interpret the greatest decorator
since Pinturecchio.
