VIRGINIA IS FERTILE
FIELD FOR ART
mtnion is Supreme As Place For
Creation of Historical Paintings.

Virginia should produce great
works of art" said Bishop O'Connell,
speaking at a tea given by the Bu-
reau OF Vacations for Women, yester-
day afternoon. Nowhere in the
United States is there such a field for
wonderful historical paintings as in
Virginia and around Richmond, in
particular. The battles of Marthon
and Thermopylae are still being
fought on the famous canvases OF the
world, should not the bloody contest
ed fields of Bull Run, Seven Pines,
Gaines Mil with their brave leaders
stand in the galleries with these? ?"
Not only did he speak of the aes-
thetic side of art, but he stressed the
value of applied arts--to the indi-
vidual the home, and the city. The
Art Club of Richmond teaches us to
love art for arts sake and it does all
in its power to cultivate this love, but
once cultivated. what can Richmond
offer to satisfy it," Bishop O'Connell
laid great emphasis on the need in
Richmond for institutions to teach
this applied art, namely, furniture
designing. pottery, etc. He named the
Bureau of Vacations as a medium
through which these sorely needed
faculties could be obtaineed and he en-
dorsed its movement to seek means
through which a training class could
be established.
Following Bishop O'Connell was
