wise come to this r~estlessly active man.
For 80 long a period has Paul de Longpre
been closely identified with the art life of the
United States, and particularly Of southern Cali
fornia, where he has long made his home. that
many persons overlook the fact-which might IN
deed be suspected from his name-that he Is a
native of our sister republic Of France. Born in
Paris some hfty-hve years ago. he was one Of ten
children and enjoyed few early advantages Of
an educational character. However. a. a young
boy he manifested talent, seemingly amounting
almost to genius. for the painting Of floral sub
jects. and he spent q portion Of each year In the
country near Paris In order to study at first hand
the floral subjects he loved SO well. Indeed he
would probably have given up his whole time TO
sketching In the luxuriant flower gardens OF this
favored region had II not been for the fact that
he had his living to make and did It by the most
prosaic but vastly more remunerative occupa-
ton Of decorating fans.
All the while. of course. his heart was in the
flower painting and his efforts attracted atten-
ton from the outset. In 1876 he, won the gu.
preme honor OF having his pictures hung In the
Paris salon and similar recognition came on sew
eral succeeding years. A few years later. how
ever. the entire course Of his plans was suddenly
altered by the failure Of the Paris banking insti-
tuition In which all his savings had been deposit

In this domestic crisis the young artist deter

fortune in the new world. Almost all his friends.
with characteristic pessimism. predicted disaster.
but he nevertheless Transferred the seat Of his
activities to New York. where he met with q

help in art, never as a guide" And 1t can truth
fully be said that de Longpre has ever taken his
own medicine in this respect, for all that he has
won financial as we'll as artistic success.
1t might be supposed that a man who after hav.
Ing passed the half-century mark was plunging
into a new field Of artistic endeavor would have
his hands full, but not SO the resourceful Paul de
Longpre. With a couple Of operas under way and
Sousa's band and other concert organizations play
ing his lighter compositions and .clamoring for
more. the artist composer is even now finding time
to act as the chief promoter of a new movement OF
which he is also the originator and which is known
as a crusade for national art. This Is purely a
labor OF love on the part Of the king of flower
painters-an effort to further a public-spirited
movement having for it's object the education of
the whole American people in art and the better
appreciation Of art works whether executed by
Americans or foreigners.
The chief aim of the movement ..,d. trou
