Despite this seeming lack of concen-

now In progress at the Montross Gallery,
New York city. Nearly all of them have
exhibits in the permanent collection of
the Corcoran Gallery.
Untrammeled by the precedents of the
continental schools. they are striving for
an expression of a distinctive American

in line with the modern creed of results,
they set the attainment of real beauty as
their goal, and If the impressiOnistic

present the actual, visual aspect of
things. 1t is realism in that sense, rather
than in the scientific sense, and to that
extent it is impressionisIn. The move
ment they embody is esthetic rather than
scientific.
Nevertheless. it is scientific, SO far
as the actual analysis of color is con-

effect, as the men who in the United
States have really digested the lessons
