ground—a color scheme of great intensity, to which
he has given the straightforward title Girl With the
Sea Beyond. Other exhibitors are: Bryson Bur-
roughs, Childe Hassam, Robert B. Brandegee, L.
M. Genth, Charles H. Woodbury, Walter Clark,
Hugh H. Breckin-
ridge. The museum
has also had recently
on exhibition a col-
lection of paintings
by Miss Blanche Dil-
laye, of Philadelphia.
At the recent ex-
hibition of the Rich-
mond Art Association,
Richmond, I n d .,
Messrs. Durand-Ruel
exhibited a Corot
called Outskirts oj a
Wood, and a canvas
by D’Aubigny, called
Twilight. A group
of painters calling
themselves “The
Richmond Group”
had some seventy
exhibits. J . E.
Bundy, of this group,
a member of the
Western Art Asso-
ciation, is also repre-
sented at the World’s
Fair. Frank J. Gir-
ardin was the winner
of the first prize at
the spring exhibit of
the Cincinnati Art
Club last year, and
has been exhibiting
with the Society of
Western Artists this
season. Others of
the Richmond group
are Anna M. New
man, Charles Conner
and M. T. Nordyke. The exhibition comprised
several collections of porcelain, pottery, cloissonne
and other art objects, photographs, and a varied
exhibition in the arts and crafts.
The Detroit Museum of Art has found its
series of informal lectures, started eleven years ago,
so fruitful a means of reaching the large class of
people whose employment during the week prevents
their availing themselves of other opportunities, that
it has undertaken to build an auditorium specially
adapted to this educational purpose, and large
enough to accommodate the Sunday gatherings.
It is expected that
the building, now in
process of erection,
will be ready for this
coming winter’s work.
This building, which
willallowthe museum
additional gallery
space in which to
hold special exhibi-
tions, will be 70 by
100 feet, four stories
high. The auditorium
will occupy the base-
ment and lower floor,
and the galleries the
three upper floors.
The Society of
Illustrators, of
which Charles Dana
Gibson was recently
elected president, has
decided to accept only
unpublished draw-
ings for their exhibi-
tions. Hitherto, these
exhibitions have con-
sisted almost wholly
of drawings that have
been published. An
effort is to be made at
the) next exhibition,
to be held October 13,
to show only such
work as has not been
reproduced. Other
officers elected at the
recent meeting were:
by axel e. 01.SSON Henry Reuterdahl,
vice-president; Henry
S. Fleming, secretary and treasurer; Orson Lowell,
chairman of membership committee.
George Wharton Edwards has completed and
installed at the West Point Military Academy Mess
