American Artists in Paris

sea-piece by M. Pellegrin, an artist from Marseilles,
who follows in his colouring the best traditions of
the Provencal men, Ricard, Monticelli, and Ziem.
M. Maillaud has made a speciality of subjects
drawn from rustic life in Le Berri, and this
picturesque province furnishes him on occasion
with the happiest of motifs. Such a one is his
picture this year of a Foire da?is le Berri.
One is accustomed to see numerous portraits at
the Old Salon, and this year there were examples by
the best-known artists, Gabriel Ferrier, Francois
Flameng, Humbert, and others still. One of the
best things was a portrait of two children by Aime
Morot, a very remarkable work. Among genre
paintings one must not omit to mention an interior
by Mlle. Demanche. Henri Frantz.

THE AMERICAN COLONY OF
ARTISTS IN PARIS. BY E. A.
TAYLOR. (SECOND ARTICLE.)
I have heard it said many times that the ultra-
modern artists have the most educated and
intellectual followers on their side and in harmony
with their interests, but examine, not even minutely,
their education and intellect and one finds it but a
poor one-sided affair, elementary in its new idea of
evolution and world-old disbelief, preaching the
simplicity of Simple Simon and ignoring the
complexity of simple things. I am heartily with
all modern movements that issue from a sincere
belief in its ultimate good ; but each new shrine
must have a place for a God and not an idol. It
