The only representation of the so-called new art, a post-impressionistic ing something really good, and in being able to give it whole-hearted commendation. It was with such pleasure that the writer inspected the group of seven canvases which represent Miss Wolfe in the present exhibit. She paints in the broad style of the impreHsionint, but one can see that method is simply a means of expression for her, and not a cult to be followed blindly.

Her other landscapes are full of life and color, and her brush work is admirably sure and telling. One feels, however, standing in shallow water, and although it is not more than a sketch, it in a good example of this much adj-nired artint's work. It is of special interest in this collection because his work is seldom in the market now. Mr. Dunbar will be here throughout the week.

Arcade, was well patronized. A good deal of interesting decorative work was shown, well adapted to many shapes in china to be utilized in varied ways. The earnest study which the members have given to design is evident in the work on view, and a high artistic standard is generally maintained, although, of course, it varies according to individual talent. An evhibit of this sort in which artistic principles are so plainly upheld and in which so high a standard is maintained should have its effect on the many amateur china painters in the city who make their homes hideous with big pink roses sprawling on china in a manner entirely unrelated to the piece to tie decorated. The Appuoa Arts.

The keramic exhibit contains many good pieces in spite of the fact that Keramic club' exhibition contlicted with this one. The small sculpture group includes the fine head of Alexis Fournier by Mrs. Coriee Woodruff and a nude, beautifully done except that the poso seems a littlo unnatural, by Harriet Clark Hanley. This is the winner of the first prize. There is on view also a fine exhibit of metal work oil paintings in charge of one of their representatives to the city, and they are being shown in Room 820 of the Hotel Radlspon.

The pictures will be shown free to the public from 9 a. m. to 9 p. Among the most Interesting of the pictures are: A. Magnificent rugged example of J.

As has boen said before, ilr.

Dunbar is able to obtain the cream of work turned out by our ertists, so that the art lover seeing his collection often finds pictures which are quite different and much finer by many artists than he is accustomed to expect from them.

"In order to make museums of broad educational value it is necessary not merely to install the exhibits in a manner intelligible to the general public, but to make access easy, and to advertise. It is no more reasonable to expect ideas to find their way unaided to the masses of people, than to expect goods to sell themselves. No museum fulfills its educational function by merely maintaining its exhibition collections, however well they may be installed.

The general quality of the work and the representative exhibits in each department should make the trustees of the institute feel that an exhibition of local work is well worth while aside from the fact that it is a recognition duo our Minneapolis artists.

Mr. Williams' association with Sir James Guthrie, president of the Eoyal Glasgow academy, did a good deal to form his style.

A letter written by Mr. Daingerfleld describing the picture not only gives it added interest, but gives also a glimpse of the nobility and depth of character which one would expect a man capable of creating such a painting to have. He says: "The picture you now have of mine, Andromeda and the Sea Is one of my most important canvases.
