coran Gallery, and will remain
on view until Juno Z. This exhibition
comprises the work Of all the classes and
is selected from the best productions Of
the year. With the exception Of the draw
ings entered In competition for the gold
medal. all OF the work set forth in the
hemicycie hall Is In color. The water
color class, which Is under the direction
Of James Henry Moser. occupies the fiat
wall. as usual, and makes an impressive
showing. On the semi-circular wall are
displayed paintings Of still life objects,
flowers. etc, portrait studies and paint
ings Of draped and costumed models made
under the direction Of Richard NJ. Brooke.
In the center Of the hall on a screen are
to be found studies In composition made
by the more advanced students under +.
c. Messer. the principal of the school.
Across the hall in the large schoolroom.
where during the winter the art talks
are given. are to be found drawings from
the antique and portrait work In black
and white. some Of which is specially to
be commended. The antique class is un-
der the instruction OF Miss Catharine c.
Critcher.
1t should be remembered in viewing an
exhibition of student work that 1t is not
supposed to be up to professional stand
ard, and that its quality is bound to vary
in accordance with the ability of those
whose work IS shown. The fundamentals
of art alone can be taught-genius is not
the result of eduea ton. Art Is not diff
ferent from other professions; OF the
many who study, only comparatively few
attain success, but in art those who fall
short of creative attainment are most
frequently enriched by quickened percep-
tions and increased ability to enjoy the
beauty in nature and in art. So, after ALL
art may be said to score the minimum
number of actual failures.
The Corcoran School has been In exist
ence now at least twenty-five years, and
during that time many students have
