point of view. Mr. Don Barber shows a per-
spective of the new Lotus Club house, cleverly
mounted in an architectural mat of some beauty.
Messrs. Carrere & Hastings exhibit drawings for
the McKinley Monument, Buffalo. Elevations and
plans for the Brooklyn Municipal Building are
shown by Messrs. Lord & Hewlett.
Bellevue and the allied hospitals, as
well as the School of Architecture of
Columbia University, send numerous
photographs illustrative of things mu-
nicipal.
Mr. Victor Brenner, sculptor and
medalist, whom the French Govern-
ment has recently seen fit to honor by
placing an exhibit of his works in the
Luxembourg Museum, is showing a
frame filled with examples of his best
work.
Mr. Albert Herter’s Allegory of the
Attributes of the Arts is a mural paint-
ing which will ultimately be placed in a
banquet hall.
Disposed within a classic landscape,
and grouped before the temple of art,
are graceful personifications of Poetry,
x\rt, Inspiration, Genius,Truth, Beauty,
Force and Experience. Art and Poetry
are represented by two youths who
guard Inspiration embodied in Pegasus.
Genius in the form of a young boy
kneels before the temple of art, while
Beauty gazes into the mirror which
Truth holds forth.
Force is personified in a vigorous
male figure, while Experience is that of
a woman bearing a basket of fruits.
There are in this large canvas qualities which
point to the striving, on the painter’s part, for re-
fined ideals and a classicism which is not char-
acterless. Mr. Herter is a genuine lover of color;
he fully understands the value of a judicious jux-
taposition of his decorative color masses, a quality
most essential in the mural decorator.
