THE ONLY PICTURES THAT PEOPLE BUY NOWADAYS,
SAY ART DEALERS, ARE POSTERS AND GIBSON GIRLS
az MARION LOWE.

When somebody writes a history
of the taste of the American people
as expressed in art, this will be
called the age of Degeneracy."
That is the opinion of an art
dealer in Spokane.
Without meaning to be irrever-
emit, the poster girl has put the
Madonna on the shelf, and the
KatZenjammer kids have chased
the Sistine cherubs out of the
house.
People do not buy the pictures
they did 10 years ago, says this art
dealer. They used to buy the re-
ligious subjects that are the worlds
greatest works of art. Now they
buy comics and illstrations. A pic
ture used to be almost a religion,
now it's a josh.
Big Change in Taste.
In 10 years there has been such
change in the taste of the buying
public that the dealer carries an
almost entirely different stock.
Formerly he kept the worlds mas
terpieces in all prices, so that re-
productions were available to al
most any pocketbook. The humble
home could and did have copies of
great pictures. Now the percent
age of such purchasers is very
small, and is restricted to the edu-
Gated few.
| Classic pictures express worship,
religion, divinity. The modern pic
ture tells a story. The present day
customer wants a Gibson girl or a
Christy man or a love scene or a
highly colored~poster picture.
Immoral women always buy
religious pictures, says this art
dealer. "a don't think It is a
superstition" he says. "Per.
haps it brings back memories.
Sometimes they get blue, and
they like to think Of the days
when it was different. They
take some comfort, and perhaps
some hope, In remembering.
OF course, such women who buy
the high class pictures are edu-
Gated, and with the loss Of
their finer moral sense they
have not lost their cultivated
taste in other things"
Doesn't this seeming anomaly
only prove that morality is not a
matter of education? And that in
tegrity is deeper thing than arr
or culture? In no small degree the
life of the people is pictured in this
! art dealers experience.
VuIgarity Craze.
Five years ago there was craze
for vulgarity," he says. people
would buy anything, and wanted
pictures that were risque. 1t swept
the country. Now there ia prac
tically no demand for them, and
they are not shown in stores. The
suggestive post card has taken the
place of the vulgar picture, and il
is astonishing the tons of such
cards that are sold.
what we observe in the picture
trade is true in the theater and
music. Vaudeville is taking the
place Of the legitimate drama, rag
time and the popular song have
drowned out good music and comics
have taken the place of art in pic
lures. It's period of frivolous
taste and flippant life.
} 81 think in time the children who
, are now in school will bring about
change. Art and music are
studied in the schools as they did
