NOTABLE PAINTING
GIFT TO u. S. GALLERY
George Dupont Pratt Buys Thomas
Moran Oil Landscape and Pre-
sents 1t to Government.

The celebrated oil landscape. 1.-THE
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone" by
Thomas Moran. which long has been
the most conspicuous object In the Ma
tional Art Gallery at the New National
Museum. has become the permanent
property of the Government.
The painting first was deposited In
the gallery as loan by Moran himself
and, since his death few years ago.
the loan has been continued by his
daughter Miss Ruth B. Moran. The
picture a few months ago attracted the
attention of George Dupont Pratt of
New York during visit to the museum.
He was so deeply impressed with the
national Importance of the work that
he inquired as to its status When he
found that 1t was not the property of
the Government he purchased 1t from
Miss Moran and presented 1t to the
gallery.
THE Grand Canyon OF the Yellow
stone" because of its size and the
strikingly original effects of its coloring,
probably has remained longer In the
memory Of most visitors than any other
picture in the gallery and Is considered
one of The most notable landscapes
ever painted in America In 1t Moran
tried to reproduce the actual rock coll
ors of the Grand Canyon, which re-
quired color combinations not before
known in landscape art.
DR.. William II. Holmes. director of
the National Art Gallery. has made It
point to look over the Grand Canyon
from the exact spot from which MIR.
Moran studied 1t and ne said that he
appreciates most keenly "the marvels of
the portrayal, not only of the subject
as whole but of the infinite details of
the rock sculpture and textures and the
play of gorgeous color.
There is extant." said DR.. Holmes,
no greater masterpiece OF landscape
art"
