France will retake her position as
arbiter Of the worlds art destinies
in the spring OF 1923, when the great
International Exhibition which was
postponed by the war Is scheduled to
open in the Grand Palais unless the
cubists and other modernists create
an opposition stronger than they did
when the project was first mentioned
in 1914.
Armand Dayot. Inspector General of
Fine Arts, is behind the movement
and has already obtained assurance
of governmental support, although it
will be necessary for two Partisan
salons to find a temporary home else
where as the exhibition will last from
May to October.

Before the war Germany was on the
point of organizing a great international
art show. In fact the exhibition in Mu-
nich where France was well represented
in 1914, was to have been expanded
along the lines now adopted by Dayot.
In order to uphold French supremacy 1t
Is intended to devote at least hair OF
the Grand Palais purely to French art,
showing not only modern ideals but CIV
ing an artistic resume of the guiding
influence of the last twenty-five years.
1t will be more than display OF
paintings, however, for Dayot favors
showing samples Of French sculpture
and architecture and OF the decorative
arts of all nations, and is calling to the
attention OF art experts the valuable
result obtained at American exhibitions
where something more than paintings
is offered for public and official in
