thus not merely perpetuating the
prize awards, but adding to the gal
lery's permanent collection. And, after
all. the best prize that an artist
can receive for his work is its pur-
chase. There are some, in fact, who
would do away with all other kinds
Competitions are proverbially dis
appointing. Like laws. they can only
be framed to benefit the greatest
number; they can never be 100 per
cent just. Prize juries are human,
hence not infallible, and medals Of
honor do not always insure eventual
they are apt to become a mockery.
But a painting, and particularly one
purchased for a permanent collec-
ton, is a stimulus to further effort
An artist paints undoubtedly for the
love Of art and from a desire to hand
on to others a pleasure which he him
self has experienced. but there is
little inspiration to continue to point
out beauty to those who turn their
backs. or to repeat a message which
is apparently not understood.
1t is for this reason even more than
for commercial considerations that
sales and the right kind of patronage
are essential to the development and
production of art.
A most interesting group of etch-
ings by Swedish etcher, Ernst Nor
lind by name. is now on view in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. Five or six
of these etchings are of birds-vul-
lures. ravens and fiamingos-and the
eteher's presentation is after the
decorative manner which the artists
of the orient employ There is a GER

that OF his distinguished countryman.

Anders Zorn. This similarity is more
evident in Norlind's etchings of fg-
ures and heads than in his etchings of
birds and animals. His treatment,
when it come to portraiture, is almost
brutally vigorous, but it has a sin
cerity and robustness that are to be
accounted as of genuine worth.
Ernst Norlind was born in the most
southern province of Sweden. skane.
in 1877. He graduated from the Uni
versity of Lund in 1898, and imme-
diately began the study of art under
Kotzel. Later he studied IN Paris.
He is a member of the leading pro-
fessional art organizations Of Sweden
and his works are included in some of
the foremost museums. He is best
known as an etcher, but he also paints
in oils. The subjects he chooses are
landscapes and figures. and he has
made specially of animals and birds.
Like Zorn, his work is peculiarly
Swedish in character. possessing gaunt
strength and being rendered with
great directness. While simple. it is
