For 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
native of our sister republic of France. Born in
Paris some ffty-fye years ago, he was one Of ten
children and enjoyed few early advantages of
an educational character. However as a young
boy he manifested talent seemingly amounting
almost to genius, for the painting of floral sub
iects, and he spent portion of each year In the
country Paris In order to study at first hand
the floral subjects he loved well. Indeed he
would probably have given up his whole time to
sketchng in the luxuriant flower gardens OF this
favored region had it not been for the fact that
he had his living to make and did 1t by the most
prosaic but vastly more remunerative occupa-
tion 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 su,
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 suddenly
altered by the failure of the Paris banking insti-
tuition in which all his savings had been deposit

fortune in the new world Almost all his friends,
with characteristic pessmsm, predicted disaster.
but he nevertheless transferred the seat of his
activities to New York. where he met with
gradually increasing measure of success. Then,
upon paying a visit to southern California, he, as
was to be expected, straightway fell in love with
the land of flowers. He Immediately determined

perament claim that they are greatly Influenced
by environment in their artistic efforts and II
this be it is not at all strange that Paul de
Longpre has produced masterpieces of their class,
for he lives and works in surroundings as ideal
as NAV be found on either side of the Atlantic.
The de Longpre villa is located at Hollywood,
CAL suburb of Los Angeles. pcturesquely stu
ated in the foothills of the Sierra Madre noun
tains The site of the villa is a spacious tract in
the "frostless belt" and here may be found at
all seasons of the year profuson of the posies
which has proven at once the inspiration and the
stock i'll trade as ii were, Of the painter who has
been so successful in counterfeting nature.
The de Longpre home-a combination of stu
do and residences one of the "show places"

artist-owner has been most generous in opening

look upon il as a thing to do" as much as they
would an art museum great picture gallery,
for 1t Is this latter above all else. The building,
the far-1ung frontage of which renders 1t most
conspicuous, is of the concrete or stucco on
metal lath construction which is so extensively
employed in this section Of the country. Archi-
tecturally the structure Is Moorish in motif, but
with some Of the characteristics of the later
Spanish mission style of architecture which
originated on the Pacific coast couple Of centu-
ries ago and has given the impress of its infiu-
ence TO so many of the modern buildings of the
region.

there are corridors balconies and towers which
afford secluson when It is desired. In addition
to the imposing residence this fowery estate
situated between the and the mountains,
has five garden houses which harmonze with
the main building in architectural design. One
of these detached structures is the retreat to
which the artist-composer retires when he de-
sires to pursue his labors secure from the in
